No country home or summer camp should be 

 without one. It helps to pass the evenings when 

 the outdoor pleasures are over. It takes no extra 

 sp-.ce as all other clumsy cabinet players do. No 

 la .orious pumping, so easy a child can play it. 



The Pianotist can be attached to any piano and 

 can be played by foot treadle, electricity or both.

Jacob Zimmerman is a resident of the fa- 

 mous Sugar valley, once named by Dr. 

 Rorthrock, State Forestry Commissioner, 

 as the best grouse hunting country in the 

 State. Since then the grounds have been 

 hunted to death, and last season compara- 

 tively few birds were to be found, although 

 one party which I accompanied killed about 

 24 in 2 days. Four years ago, Dr. Housel, 

 of Watsontown, made the best record to 

 my knowledge in the Sugar valley section, 

 killing 8 grouse in 9 shots. 



Thousands of birds have been killed in the 

 last 5 years in that section, and it is com- 

 mon rumor that certain persons, residents 

 of the valley, have caught an equally large 

 number in snares. The result is the pres- 

 ent scarcity. 



The Zimmerman farm is at the East end 

 of Sugar valley, and has been for 30 or more 

 years a favorite headquarters for deer 

 hunters. Frequently during the open season 

 as many as 30 hunters are entertained at 

 his cosy place. Within 6 miles of Zimmer- 

 man's 23 deer were killed last season, the 

 largest number killed in one season in 25 

 years. The strict game laws, especially the 

 prohibition of hunting with dogs, is cred- 

 ited with causing an increase of the game.

The Syracuse hammerless came promptly 

 to hand. It is an excellent shooter and a 

 most generous premium.
