EDITOR OP "FOREST AND STREAM;" ADTHOS. OF THB 

 "FISHING TOURIST,". "0AJIP LIFE IN FLORIDA, ' ETC. 



NEW YORK : 



"FOREST andSTREAM" PUBLISHING COMPANY. 



The book is a complete manual for sportsmen • 



It gives every sportsmanlike method for captur- 

 ing every known game animal, bird and fish in 

 cJorth America. 



It designates the proper charges for guns for each 

 kind of game, the various kinds of decoys and blinds, 

 and baits and tackle for the ltsh. 

 . It gives over 4,000 localities where game and flsh 

 may be found, specifies the game found in eaoh 

 locality, the hotel accommodation, and the best 

 route to get there. (The preparation of this Directory 

 was in itself a work of great magnitude ) 



It gives the scientific name and specific character- 

 istics of each species it describes, with the habitat 

 and breeding season of each— a most valuable con- 

 tribution to science. 



It describes 291 varieties of edible fish alone, that 

 may be taken with the hook; 80 varieties of ducks : 

 BO varieties of snipe or waders, and the different 

 methods of shooting each. 



Its instructions for capturing large game are very 

 minute, and the chapters on woodcraft, outfitting 

 and camping have been pronounced by "El Cazador," 

 of Los Angeles, California, to be simply complete. ' 



Every kind of dog used for sport is designated. 

 and his points fo* bench judgments fully given. 

 Tho chapters relating to selection, breeding, rearing, 

 breaking, care and diseases, comprise a seventh; 

 part of the volume. Tnete are 71 prescriptions and 

 recipes given under the revision o' the beet modern 

 canine therapeutists. 



It is in itself the most concise, accurate, instruc- 

 tive, sensible and comprehensive work ever written 

 upon the dog and his diseases. Any physician can 

 administer the prescriptions with perfect confidence 

 In their safety ana efficacy. 



It contains very useful recipes and remedies for- 

 Wounds, bites, poisons, illness, and emergencies of 

 all kinds ; for cleaning, repairing, and preserving 

 every implement used for sport; for selection and 

 use of every kind of boat employed by sportsmen- 

 a reference list of several hundred books in request 

 by sportsmen, and a directory where to buy outflttini? 

 goods. * 



It instructs in taxidermy, and tells how to preserve 

 and mount specimens of animals, birds and fish.
