"FOREST AND STREAM SERIES." 



DEER HUNTING. 



BY JUDGE JOHN DEAN CATON. 



BY and by it will be time to hunt antelope and deer. It is 

 always time to read about them. Judge Caton's book 

 on the antelope, elk, deer, moose and caribou of America 

 discusses in a readable way the life history of these animals 

 and the methods of their capture. It is the work of an 

 enthusiastic sportsman who has nad a wide experience and 

 has devoted the leisure of years to studying these interesting 

 game animals. The volume is very fully illustrated, and is a 

 perfect storehouse of information and entertainment. The first 

 edition was sold by the Boston publishers at $4. Price f 2.50. 



WOODCRAFT. 



BY "NESSMUK." 



A COMPACT pocket handbook of condensed, boiled-down, 

 concise, clear, comprehensive, sensible, practical camp 

 gumption. "Nessmuk" has been "in the woods" in Michigan, 

 New York, Pennsylvania, and South America, and this is a 

 book for outers, wherever they kindle their camp-fire. The 

 author believes in ''smoothing it." He has learned how; now 

 he tells others. It is much easier to learn from "Nessmuk" 

 than from Dame Experience. We should not be surprised if 

 "Woodcraft" completely revolutionized the methods of camp- 

 ing out. If you ate going to the woods, read "Woodcraft" 

 before j'ou go. It may add to your trip a hundred fold. 

 Price $1.00. 



DOG TRAINING. 



BY S. T. HAMMOND. 



HE was a promising puppy, and when you turned him over 

 to the breaker to be educated, you thought he was 

 bound to make "the best dog in the world." And you'll not 

 soon forget how disappointed and disgusted you were when 

 the dog, the breaker and the big bill— all three turned up 

 together, and you saw that the animal's spirit was broken 

 and it would take a steam calliope to make him mind. Now, 

 this could not have happened if you had been wise enough to 

 buy a copy of Hammond's book, and in your odd leisure 

 moments train the dog yourself instead of having him 

 broken by some one else. We are selling edition after edition 

 of this book, and it is revolutionizing the system of preparing 

 dogs for work in the field. Price $1.00. 



SHORE BIRDS. 



A PAMPHLET for those who "gun" along the shore. Tells 

 of: I. Haunts and Habits— Where the bay birds live 

 and what they do at home. II. Range and Migration — Where 

 they go to breed and where to spend the winter. III. A 

 Morning Without the Birds— An episode of shore shooting. 

 IV. Nomenclature — A list of our American species of Limicolas, 

 with a description of each specie=. V. Localities— Where to 

 go to shoot them. VI. Blinds and Decoys— How to shoot 

 them after you have reached the grounds. 45 pp., paper. 

 Price 15 cents. 



ANGLING TALKS. 



BY GEORGE DAWSON. 



AS a political writer of conceded power, Mr. Dawson 

 wielded a trenchant pen; when he terned from the 

 conflict of parties to the praise of the favorite pastime of 

 "simple wise men," his essays, limpid as the crystal streams, 

 are aglow with the soft summer sunlight and melodious with 

 the songs of birds. When angling was the theme, he wrote 

 from a full heart and in closest sympathy with the scenes and 

 pursuits described. These "Talks" are brimful of manly, 

 wholesome sentiment; there is in them all not a particle of 

 cant. Their sincerity and overflowing spirit at once win the 

 reader, and he perforce shares the author's enthusiasm. The 

 effect is magical, like that of the mimic players in Xenophon's 

 Memorabilia: he who reads, if he be an angler, must go 

 a-fishing; and if he be not, straightway then must he become 

 one.— Extract from Publishers' Preface. Cloth, price 50 cents. 



CANOE "AURORA." 



BY DR. C. A. NEIDE. 



A CHARMINGLY written and always entertaining account 

 of a canoe cruise from Lake George. New York, down 

 the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers to the Gulf bf Mexico, by the 

 Secretary of the American Canoe Association. To read the 

 cruise of the "Aurora" is the next best thing to having made 

 it; and the reading is decidedly more pleasant than would 

 have been participation in some of the misadventures related. 

 216 pp., cloth. Price $1.00.

One great objection to magazine rifles heretofore has been that if one or more of the cartridges contained in the magazine were slightly shorter than 

 regular, the mechanism would become clogged and the arm refuse to work, frequently at a critical moment. This trouble is entirely obviated in these new 

 guns by a recent invention patented by us. Even if one or all of the cartridges in the magazine should be half an inch too short the gun will work perfectly. 

 Every one who ever used a repeating rifle will appreciate this improvement.
