implement embodying the same principles. Re- 



sponsive to these requests, we here illustrate our 



Straight Line Hand Loader 



(see cut "Q.") It may be 



used by being fastened to a 



bench (which is preferred ) 



or not, as desired. They will 



be made for 10, 12 and 16 



gauge only. Parts "A" and 



"B" are different for each 



gauge; the part "C" is the 



same for all gauges. Those 



having a n Ideal Loading 



Machine, desiring a portable 



hand implement to take with 



them on a trip, may pur- 



chase the parts "A," "C" and 



"D" only, and use the Re-

ing Machine, as the part 



"B" in the "Straight Line" 



Hand Loader is the same as Cufc

The Ideal Pocket Powder and Shot Measure is 

 the smallest adjustable dipper made that is gradu- 

 ated for shot and powder. It is graduated from 

 i to \y 2 ounces of shot, and from 2> to 3^ 

 drachms (black powder measure.) There are no 

 screw threads or notches in the ad- 

 justments. It can be set instantly 

 to a fractional part of a grain. The 

 illustration "R" shows the handle 

 broken off. 



Shells that have 

 been fired and are to 

 be used over again, 

 should be re-sized and de-capped as 

 soon as possible, and kept in a dry 

 place. If the primers are allowed 

 to corrode in the pockets of the 

 shells, they can not be easily expelled, and the 

 pockets will be weakened. If shells are allowed 

 to get wet after being fired, the hardness and 

 toughness of the paper will be destroyed. The 

 waterproofing, which contains a lubricant, is some-
