FISH COOKERY. 



"The last word on fish cookery" has 

 just been given to the public by Messrs. 

 Little, Brown & Company of Boston, in 

 a volume on "Fish Cookery" by Evelene 

 Spencer and John N. Cobb. Mrs. Spen- 

 cer, after spending much time demon- 

 strating fish cookery in the city of Port- 

 land, Oregon, in connection with its mu- 

 nicipal fish market, was engaged by the 

 government during the "Eat More Fish" 

 campaign, to travel through the country, 

 explaining the food value of fish and the 

 desirability of using the less familiar 

 species, illustrating her lectures by 

 various methods of cooking this food. 



Mr. Cobb, the co-author, is director of 

 the College of Fisheries, University of 

 Washington, Seattle, and the author of 

 numerous works on the fisheries. He has 

 contributed valuable information as to the 

 fish themselves, and tables as to their food 

 value, their location, seasons, etc. 



I'he book contains more than 600 reci- 

 pes for cooking fish and its accompanying 

 sauces and dressings. Every conceivable 

 manner of serving fish is described, treat- 

 ing not only the subject of the common 

 and well known varieties, but numerous 



little-known and seldom used varieties as 

 well, which contain equally valuable food 

 properties. This last word on fish cook- 

 ery should serve to bring that little ap- 

 preciated branch of the art into its proper 

 place in the preparation of a well-balanced 

 menu. 



UNITED STATES TOPOGRAPHIC 

 MAPS. 



Every hunter and fisherman who goes 

 to the mountains should carry with him 

 a United States topographic map. From 

 these maps he may obtain information 

 relative to streams, lakes, springs, eleva- 

 tions, and even cabins and other civilized 

 institutions. There are few states where 

 so much use is made of unsettled districts 

 as in our state, and it is quite important 

 that all areas ojien to the summer vaca- 

 tionist should be properly mapped. At 

 the present time one may secure suitable 

 topographic maps of almost any area on 

 the desert and in the Sierra, and one may 

 travel from the Mexican line as far north 

 as Point Reyes utilizing a government 

 map. The area to the nortb of Point 

 Reyes, however, is still unmapped, al- 

 though much used as a recreation ground. 

 A little pressure brought to bear on the 

 United States Geological Survey would 

 assure the completion of the series of 

 maps now available.
