inch or two below the rim of the bucket ; and this top only 

 is perforated. There is also a lid in the top, which is usu- 

 ally secured by a bolt of stout wire. A double pail, the 

 inner one being made principally of copper or galvanized 

 iron wire-cloth, would be vastly more convenient, without 

 adding much to the weight. 



The most recent improvement in minnow-buckets that I 

 have seen is the telescopic minnow and live bait bucket 

 patented and made by the Hall 

 Manufacturing Company, Cleve- 

 land, Ohio. It is made round <i 

 and oval, and of several sizes. 

 The No. 1 oval bucket has a mid- 

 dle compartment for minnows,] 

 and two end compartments for 

 frogs or other live baits, or ice. ^ 

 The round and smaller sizes are 

 for minnows only. It is made 

 on a common-sense plan and is the best thing of its kind 



that I have seen. It is con- 

 structed in a substantial man- 

 ner of oxydized copper on tin, 

 or japanned green and lac- 

 quered. 

 Closed. A very convenient receptacle 



for carrying live frogs, crawfish, crickets or helgramites 

 is the live-box sold by 

 Wm. Mills & Son. It has 

 two compartments and is 

 strongly made of galvan- 

 ized wire cloth. The top J 

 has a sliding cover. Its 

 size is about six by twelve j 

 inches.
