 the U. S. and Canada, and the names and 

 addresses of the Secretaries thereof. Read-

 service by kindly giving me such infor- 

 mation.

The Lightest 

 Cheapest and 

 Most Complete 

 Camping Outfit 



When arranging a trip "up river" or in the forest 

 or held, be sure to provide yourself with a 



Bay State Camping Outfit 



Why ? Because it comprises every cooking utensil 

 you will require; knives and forks, kettles and pans, 

 and a stove too. How many separate articles are 

 there? Twenty-two in all. Well, I'm afraid, it's 

 too cumbersome for me. There you are wrong, for 

 every utensil nests within a single containing vessel or 

 pail which is but thirteen inches high, and ten inches 

 in diameter. Then your outfit must be a mere toy. 

 No sir — kettles and pots hold full quarts, and the 

 plates are eight inches in diameter. Well, you Be*" 

 I'm a canoeist, and the outfit would be too heavy 

 for me. Oh, no, my friend, it only weighs a little over 

 five pounds. You see, the secret is this — this outfit is 

 made entirely of aluminum. Each vessel is spun of a 

 single sheet, so there are no cracks or joints or seams 

 — there can be no rust — for aluminum cannot rust or 

 tarnish. The vessels require no polishing — water 

 cleans 'em ; soap and water cleans 'em better. Doesn't 

 the outfit cost a good deal ? No, indeed ; it's quite 

 inexpensive. Write to us and we'll tell you all about it.

While fishing in^ the Wallkill river, I 

 became tired of wading and climbed to the 

 old iron bridge at Philipsburg. I seated 

 myself on the iron railing to fish and in- 

 cidentally to get dry. After a few casts, 

 I had the most peculiar " strike " of my 

 experience. A moment later another fol- 

 lowed, which left no doubt as to its nat- 

 ure. My Bristol steel rod had touched an 

 overhead telegraph wire and I had nearly 

 dropped the rod into the water below and 

 — well, steel rods don't float. 



The bass fishing in the 'kill was rather 

 poor last season, owing to the high water. 

 M. Bill, Middletown, N. Y. 



Our fishing, last season, was poor, be- 

 cause of the dry weather. We had, how- 

 ever, plenty of work for our guns and dogs. 

 There were lots of rabbits, quail and pheas- 

 ants. I saw 2 Mongolian pheasants in this 

 neighborhood and heard of others. The 

 game laws here are pretty well observed, 

 except the one relating to ferrets. Many 

 of these are used here.
