In a great laboratory where quantities like the Club Cocktails 
are made at a mixing each article is accurately weighed or meas- 
ured, and the compound is following an exact formula. This 
insures that each and every cocktail or bottle of cocktails put up 
shall be precisely correct in its composition. Again recalling the 
fact that age is necessary to the proper blending of all liquors, it 
occurred to me that these bottled cocktails, by the time they are used 
by the consumer, may have already been months or even years in 
bottle, hence that the blending must be perfect. Reasoning thus, 
I feel constrained to tell my readers about it, as I know a goodly 
number of them enjoy a perfect cocktail. I have found the sev- 
eral brands prepared by the Heublein Brothers — Manhattan, 


perfect condition.

School of Taxidermy 
With the practical experience of twelve 
years in the field, laboratory and museum, 
I have established a correspondence school 
of taxidermy. The system is thoroughly 
practical and is presented with a simplic- 
ity and conciseness that enables me to 
successfully teach those living at a dis- 
tance. It is intended chiefly to recognize 
and foster the efforts of the amateur... .

| Washington, D.C, 
I hunted and trapped a little last fall. 
Got 3 deer, I0 skunks, 4 minks, 48 
muskrats and one .coon. The coon I 
have now. He is very fine. They were all 
males except one muskrat and one skunk. 
Can any one explain through REcREA- 
TION why there is not more female game? 
I shot a few ducks and ruffed grouse. 
Game of all sorts is scarce in this state. 
There are few deer, no moose or caribou. 
I have one of those famous .30-30 Win- 
chesters, that I read so much about in 
RECREATION, which I intend to practice 
a little with next fall. It seems to me 
the full metal patch would be better 
than the soft point for deer as it would: 
not smash them so badly. Would it?

So much wit, mingled with wisdom, has been printed 
about the prophetic (?) ground hog, that it is a posi- 
tive relief to see in RECREATION, the word * wood- 
chuck” as referring to the rodent mammal commonly 
called ‘* ground hog” in Arkansas and Missouri. ‘This 
name is also common in Montana, the..Dakotas and 
even accepted in Minnesota. RECREATION is Correct, 
as usual, about nature and natural history. for the 
‘ground hawg” is a stranger to writers on:natural 
history, except in mention of provincialism. cn 
The writer might have added that the 
| only real ground hog in this country:is the 
sausage, which the real farmer makes. 
The kind we buy at the meat’ market is 
mostly ground horse, dog, etc.
