Warren Ctytcnty— 



In the Delaware RWer at the first island below the mouth of the Pohatcong- 

 near the Belvidere Railroad, shad can be taken with a bait made of Irish moss 

 gluten of wheat flour, oyster juice, fibrine of bullock's blood, and powdered sul- 

 phate of barytes. Make into a paste, dry with gentle heat, and grind up into 

 fragments as coarse as Dupont's ducking powder. Cover the hooks with this 

 preparation in its moist state, and let it dry on, so that in dissolving, it may ad- 

 here for a long time. Use a rod, three hooks on snoods dyed a brownish green 

 color, and a float. The night before you intend to fish, sift a pint of the prepara- 

 tion into the water at the head of the eddy. The barytes will cause it to sink to 

 the bottom - 



Shad will not take the fly here.

NEW MEXICO. 



New Mexico comprises an area of 121,201 square miles, with 

 apopulation of two liundred and twenty thousand. The surface of 

 the country consists, for the most part, of elevated and level pla- 

 teaus, which are traversed by several lofty and densely wooded 

 mountain ranges, and occasionally interspersed with fertile valleys. 

 The greater portions of the entire territory, more noticeably the 

 Llano Estacado, or Staked Plains of the south-east, are occupied 

 by vast sterile plains, devoid of trees and all other vegetation. Thf 

 population is principally of Mexican descent, speaking the Spanisl 

 language and preser\'ing the characteristics of that race. Many 

 portions of the territory also are subject to the incursions of the 

 Apaches and odier tribes of hostile Indians. From these facts it 

 will be seen that, for the sportsman. New Mexico has few attrac- 

 tions. Although the larger western game, such as deer, antelope, 

 sheep, elk, bears, cougars, etc., and ducks, geese, sage hens and 

 pinnated grouse abound in suflBcient quantities to afford fair shoot- 

 ing, yet the difficulty and danger of t-avel here, and the proxim- 

 ity of other and more inviting fields, wJl deter the pleasure-seekei 

 from penetrating far beyond its borders.
