Preventing Possibility of Adulteration. 



We are distillers with a wide reputation of 30 years stand- 

 ing. Our whole enormous product is sold to consumers direct. 

 We sell direct so that our whiskey may be pure when it reaches 

 you. It is almost impossible to get pure whiskey from dealers. 

 We have tens of thousands of customers who never buy else- 

 where. A customer who once tries our whiskey is a customer 

 always. We want more of them, and we make the following 

 offer to get them: 



We will send four full quart bottles of Hayner's Seven Year Old 

 Double Copper Distilled Rye for $3.20. Express Prepaid. We ship 

 in plain packages — no marks to indicate contents. When you get it 

 and test it, if it isn't satisfactory return it at our expense and we will 

 return your $3.20. Such whiskey cannot be purchased elsewhere' 

 for less than $5.00. 



We are the only distillers selling to consumers direct. 

 Others who claim to be are only dealers. Our whiskey has 

 our reputation behind it.

FISH NOTES. 



If H. S. Estabrook, Hartford, Pa., will 

 get some suckers, about 4 to 6 inches long, 

 to use for lake trout, I think he will find 

 them the best live bait there is. If he 

 cannot get them, let him try shiners. 



If anybody wants to spend a few days 

 fishing in Vermont, let him go to Caspian 

 lake, Greensboro. In good weather he is 

 sure of lake or brook trout. The largest 

 lake trout taken weighed 12^ pounds. 

 There are brook trout that will weigh 5 

 pounds each. The lake is stocked every 

 year by the fish commissioners, with Mack- 

 inaw trout. I saw 3 of these last summer 

 that weighed 23^ pounds. I had the pleas- 

 ure of tasting one of them and it was ex- 

 cellent. A. W. Stone, Morrisville, Vf. 



I see you ask about pickerel fishing, 

 through the ice. If it is for sport, take a 

 rod, the same as in summer. Let tip-ups 

 alone. Cut 2 or 3 holes. Use a live min- 

 now for bait. Try one hole and then an- 

 other. When you get a pickerel on the 

 rod you will have fun to get him through 

 the hole. I would rather catch one that 

 way than 5 or 6 with tip-ups. A friend and 

 I caught 58 last winter, in 5 trips of 6 hours 

 each. They weighed from 4 to 12 pounds 



each. It is now unlawful to fish through 

 the ice, in this State. 



H. L. Page, Rock Falls, 111. 



Wayne County, this State, is blessed with 

 some excellent trout streams and an effort 

 is being made to re-stock others, which 

 are playing out. If sportsmen would in- 

 terest themselves in securing fry from the 

 State hatcheries there is no reason why the 

 streams, with proper protection, should not 

 continue to furnish good sport. 



Paul W. Gardner, Honesdale, Pa. 



Ask W. W. Blackwell, who wrote "Bik- 

 ing for Bass," not to send any of his friends 

 to Middlesex Co., this State, as there is no 

 sucih County in Michigan. We have the 

 Au Sable river of which he speaks, and it 

 is a beautiful stream. 



Seaman W. Smith, St. Louis, Mich. 



There is excellent bass and pike fishing 

 in Lake St. Catherine, a short distance 

 from here. 



E. L. Ward, Fair Haven, Vt. 



Will some one tell me how pike are 

 caught, and with what bait?
