No. 1. "BLUE 

 ROCK" TRAP AND 

 TARGET. The best 

 ever invented, its 

 flight closely imi- 

 tates that of a quail 

 or grouse. They al- 

 ways break when 

 hit, causing no dis- 

 putes. Has the best 

 record ever made. 

 Has been adopted by 

 the New York Sports- 

 men's Association, 

 the Illinois Sports- 

 men's Association, 

 the Central Ohio 

 Shooting Association 

 and numberless 

 clubs. 



No. 2. "THE SNIPE." A target equaled by none 

 except the "Blue Rock." Can be thrown from the Peoria 

 trap, or the Red Bird trap, by attaching an arm, which 

 we furnish. OUR SNIPE TRAP, however, is the best. 



No. 3. "THE BLACK PIGEON." The cheapest tar- 

 get in the market. Always breaks when hit. Its flight 

 is good. The best flying target that can be THROWN 

 FROM A LIGOWSKY TRAP. 



No. 4. THE CHAMBERL1N CARTRIDGE. The best ammuni- 

 tion in the world for breechloading shotguns. The highest scores 

 at the trap and in the field have been made with them.

Tie Value of Woodlands as Reservoirs, 



Being the Les Etudes de Maitre Pierre 

 sur L' Agriculture et les Forets. 



PAR M. ANTONIN ROUSSET. 



Translated by 



REV. S. W. POWELL. 



The introduction reviews the extraordinary 

 movement of torrent taming in France, in pre- 

 paring public sentiment for which the Studies of 

 Master Peter played a noteworthy part. The 

 book was written as a sort of science primer, 

 setting forth the first principles of the relations 

 existing between woodlands and agriculture. 

 The principles and reasoning are not less appli- 

 cable to the United States to-day than to France 

 then.
