Outing Handbooks 



The Beagle. In this book emphasis will be laid on the use of 

 the beagle in the hunting field rather than in the show ring. 

 It is designed for the man who wishes to keep a small pack 

 for his own enjoyment rather than for the large kennel owner. 

 Simple remedies are prescribed and suggestions are given 

 as to the best type for the purposes of purchase or breeding. 



Boat and Canoe Building. Edited by Horace Kephart. It is not 

 a difficult matter to build a boat or a canoe yourself. All that 

 is necessary is to bring together knowledge, manual dexterity, 

 and the proper material. The material can be secured almost 

 anywhere at little expense. The manual dexterity will come 

 with practice and this book furnishes the knowledge. All 

 types of the smaller boats and canoes are dealt with and 

 suggestions are given as to the building and equipping of 

 the smaller sail boats. 



Camp Cookery. By Horace Kephart. "The less a man carries In 

 his pack, the more he must carry in his head," says Mr. Kep- 

 hart. This book tells what a man should carry in both pack 

 and head. Every step is traced the selection of provisions 

 and utensils, with the kind and quantity of each, the prep- 

 aration of game, the building of fires the cooking of every 

 conceivable kind of food that the camp outfit or woods, fields, 

 or streams may provide even to the making of desserts. 

 Every precept is the result of hard practice and long experience. 

 Every recipe has been carefully tested. It is the book for the 

 man who wants to dine well and wholesomely, but in true 

 wilderness fashion without reliance on grocery stores or elab- 

 orate camp outfits. It is adapted equally well to the trips of 

 every length and to all conditions of climate, season or coun- 

 try; the best possible companion for one who wants to travel 

 light and live well.

 Provisions. Utensils. Fires. Dressing and Keeping Game and 

 Fish. Meat. Game. Fish and Shellfish. Cured Meats, etc. 

 Eggs. Breadstuffs and Cereals. Vegetables. Soups. Bever- 

 ages and Desserts.

Exercise and Health. By Dr. Woods Hutchinson. Dr. Hutchin- 

 son takes the common-sense view that the greatest problem 

 in exercise for most of us is to get enough of the right kind. 

 The greatest error in exercise is not to take enough, and the 

 greatest danger in athletics is in giving them up. The 

 Chapter heads are illuminating: Errors in Exercise. Exercise 

 and the Heart. Muscle Maketh Man. The Danger of Stop- 

 ping Athletics. Exercise that Rests. It is written in a direct 

 matter-of-fact manner with an avoidance of medical terms, 

 and a strong emphasis on the rational, all-round manner of 

 living that is best calculated to bring a man to a ripe old 

 age with little illness or consciousness of bodily weakness.
