Outing Handbook/ 



Rustic Carpentry. Edited by Horace Kephart. Every year the 

 number of dwellers in summer cottages of the smaller type 

 increases and every year more and more people are giving 

 attention to the beautifying of their own summer places with 

 porch gates, fences, lawn seats, summer houses, and so forth. 

 The country carpenter is not always available and frequently 

 not dependable. This book answers the call for information 

 as to how the owner of a summer house or summer cottage 

 may be his own carpenter, building his own furniture, con- 

 structing his own porches, adorning his place with attractive 

 fences, seats and so forth. Incidentally it opens the door to 

 a most attractive way of spending one's leisure hours on a 

 summer vacation. 



The Setter. As the hunting dog "par excellence" the setter will 

 only be treated with direct reference to his use before the guns. 

 A practical method of putting a puppy through the necessary 

 preliminary training before he takes the field, is described, as 

 also the proper use of the broken dog in actual hunting or in 

 field trials. As in our other dog books special attention will be 

 given to the care of the dog in the kennels, type and qualities 

 as affecting breeding, and simple remedies for the ordinary 

 diseases. 



The Scottish and Irish Terriers. By Williams Haynes. These 

 two breeds are included in one book because of their general 

 similarity of type, habits and use. Both have been increasing 

 in popularity greatly in recent years. This book responds to 

 a widely felt need for a common-sense manual which shall de- 

 scribe the breed, its noteworthy characteristics, points to be ob- 

 served in selecting a dog, and the training of the dog after 

 selection. Remedies for the ordinary diseases are described 

 and advice given on the construction and care of kennels in 

 a comprehensive and feasible manner. 



Sheet Metal Working. Edited by Horace Kephart. Sheet metal 

 enters into many of the articles that constitute an important 

 part of the camper or canoeist's outfit such, for example, as 

 baker's ovens, cups and pans, not to mention the numberless 

 cans, boxes and cases which must find a place somewhere 

 in the outdoor man's bags. This book teaches the reader how 

 to obtain exactly the thing he wants because it teaches him 

 how to make it himself. Also it is an excellent insurance 

 against discomfort in the woods by its practical advice in the 

 matter of rough and ready repair and refitting. 



Sporting Firearms. By Horace Kephart. Mr. Kephart has done 

 for the user of the shotgun, the rifle, or the revolver what he 

 did for the camper and woods cruiser in "The Book of Camp- 

 ing and Woodcraft." All three arms are dealt with from the 

 standpoint of the every-day non-professional user, and com- 

 mon-sense advice is given as to the makes, calibres, and types 

 for the various uses. Even expert marksmen will find in this 

 book possibilities of their favorite weapon suggested or de- 

 scribed, of which they had not dreamt before. 



Tracks and Tracking. By Josef Brunner. After twenty years of 

 patient study and practical experience, Mr, Brunner can, from 

 his intimate knowledge, speak with authority on this subject: 

 "Tracks and Tracking" shows how to follow intelligently even 

 the most intricate animal or bird tracks. It teaches how to in- 

 terpret tracks of wild game and decipher the many tell-tale 

 signs of the chase that would otherwise pass unnoticed. It 

 proves how it is possible to tell from the footprints the name, 

 sex, speed, direction, whether and how wounded, and many 

 other things about wild animals and birds. All material has 

 been gathered first hand.
