Rapid Taxidermy at Home. This is the season to learn. 



If you go upon an outing or remain at 

 home, you need my simple and easily 

 undertood process of taxidermy. A child 

 can comprehend it in one attempt. No 

 tools required excepting a knife, file and 

 wire. Less than one-third of the work 

 of the old process and less than one- 

 tenth of the expense. Ten persons can 

 learn together as well as one or two and 

 reduce the cost to nothing. 



Birds, Mammals, Heads and Horns 

 and Fish-beads can he preserved as sou- 

 venirs of a day's pleasure, and as dec- 

 orations of house, den or office. 



If you do not care to preserve your 

 game, the beautiful plumage of a wood- 

 cock or grouse, or the buck's or pike's 

 heads, let your wife and children take 

 up the pleasing and instructive work. 

 Anyone can take up this agreeable work 

 and become expert. You cannot fail. 

 Satisfacticn is guaranted. Boys and 

 girls can make money at home. 



If you will agree to mount a bird or 

 any aninial and set it on the peak 

 of the roof of the barn or house, or on a 

 limb of a tree exposed to the weather, I 

 will send you full instructions and ma- 

 terials for mounting aC birds, heads, etc. 

 together with directions for preserving skins and pelts with hair on, for rugs, robes and hang- 

 ings; all for 50 cents. This offer holds good until February 1, 1898. Mention Oologist and
