OUTINGS AND INNINGS. 



The codfish lays a million eggs, 



While the helpful hen lays one; 

 But the codfish does not cackle, 



To inform us what she's done ; 

 And so we scorn the codfish coy, 



But the helpful hen we prize ; 

 Which indicates to thoughtful minds 



It pays to advertise.

The Butcher — I have some fine can- 

 vasbacks to-day, ma'am. 



Mrs. Newlywed — Do you sell them by 

 the yard? 



Puns as He Pays $140 Fine. 



"A dear deer," commented Elmer 

 Dinge of Bulls Bridge to-day when fined 

 $140 for shooting a deer.— The World. 



Teacher-^Now then, all together, once 

 more: "Little drops of water" — and for 

 goodness sake put a little more spirit 

 into it ! — Melbourne Leader. 



Judge — Where have I seen your face 

 before ? 



Prisoner — I am the dentist who pulled 

 your tooth last week. 



Judge — Fifteen years ! — Credit Lost. 



"My boy has the whooping cough." 



"That must worry you." 



"Well, maybe it's all for the best. 

 When he's whooping he can't ask ques- 

 tions, and I get time to read up on the 

 inquiries he has already made." — Wash- 

 ington Star.

A Prize Contest. 



What State has the most "fool game 

 laws ?" The Game Breeder offers a fully 

 paid up life membership in the Game 

 Conservation Society and a year's sub- 

 scription to the magazine to the first one 

 who answers this question correctly. 

 Three noted game law experts, each one 

 of whom is said to know 5,000 more 

 game laws than any lawyer now living, 

 will be asked to judge this contest. 



This is the Hunter's Practice 

 Month 



The game season will soon be here. 

 Prepare for it now. Make sure of a full 

 bag. Be ready to drop your bird when the 

 fun starts. Get out your gun. Go out to 

 the gun club and true up your aim. Get 

 your arms— your eyes — and your mind — 

 in alignment. Practice makes perfect and 



TRAPSHOOTING 



is perfect practice. Learn to hit the flying 

 clays. Combine training, pleasure, recrea- 

 tion and sport. If a gun club's not handy 

 get a 



(STPDNt) Hand Trap 



— a simple, practical, portable device that 

 throws all kinds of targets from easy 

 gliders to " birds '.' that tax the skill of 

 an expert. 



JOHN D. BURNHAM 



President of the American Game Protective and Propagation Assn. 

 says: 



"The hand trap gives a shooter the kind 

 of practice that he can get in no other way 

 except on the birds themselves. I have 

 seen some great improvement in field 

 shooting in cover as a result of a moderate 

 amount of hand trap practice."
