Outing Handbooks 



The Airedale. By William Haynes. This book opens with a 

 short chapter on the origin and development of the Airedale as 

 a distinctive breed. The author then takes up the problems of 

 type as bearing on the selection of the dog, breeding, training 

 and use. The book is designed for the non-professional dog 

 fancier who wishes common sense advice which does not in- 

 volve elaborate preparation or expenditure. Chapters are in- 

 cluded on the care of the dog in the kennel and simple 

 remedies for ordinary diseases. 



The Amateur Gunsmith. Edited by Horace Kephart. Every man 

 who owns a gun yields at some time or other to the tempta- 

 tion to take it apart. Usually he regrets having yielded to this 

 temptation when it comes time to reassemble. This book is 

 designed to aid the inquisitive and deft-fingered who do not 

 care or are unable to turn the gun over to a professional gun- 

 smith for repair. It is thirty years since anything of this sort 

 appeared, and in that interval the local gunsmiths have prac- 

 tically passed out, leaving the gun user to depend entirely upon 

 the experts of the large sporting goods dealers in the larger 

 cities or the factory of the maker. 



The American Rifle. By Charles Askins. The author has taken 

 up in detail the various sporting rifles now in common use,

 range and accuracy. The book is designed especially with 

 reference to the needs of the man who wishes to take up the 

 use of the rifle or to find a new gun better adapted to the 

 uses to which he wishes to put it.

 the care of the trees, and the harvesting and storage of the 

 fruit.
