l^F" No Notice Taken of Anonymous Correspondents. 



G. A. C— The penal code of New York forbids Sunday fishing. 



C. W., Brooklyn, N. Y.— Pure white puppies are not uncom- 

 mon, but generally, as they grow older, patches or spots of color 

 will appear. 



, F- S- R- Philadelphia— I expect to go out to Red Fork, I. T., by 

 the first of October next. I would like you to inform me what 

 there will be to gun for at that time, and as I have rifle and s»ot- 

 gun both, would it be advisable to take the both or ju«t the one ? 

 Ans. The shooting will be on birds and one should take a shot- 

 gun. 



A. B. P.. Providence, R. I.— Can you give me any information 

 about wild nee, where to get it? Is there any trouble to get it 

 started in shallow water? Will it grow iu New Brunswick? Ans. 

 Wild rice is supplied by Chas. Gilchrist, Port Hope, Ont., or R. 

 Valentine, Janesville, Wis. Neither of them have any now on 

 hand; will not have it until fall. It will grow in New Brunswick. 



E. S. T., Tbompsontown, Pa.— Kindly inform me if lean pur- 

 chase and where, something similar to a soldier's knapsack, to 

 use in a tramp, to hold a rubber coat, lunch, matches, etc., to be 

 strapped on the hips. Ans. You can procure it from dealers in 

 sportsmen's goods. See names of Arms advertising. These dealers 

 supply everything a sportsman has use for. 



A. J. F., New York.— Can you inform me what kind of red silk 

 tackle makers use for tying guides on rods so that it shows the 

 rod silk transparent after shelac. I used some regular sewing 

 silk, and after I put shelao on it turned a dark color. Ans. Use 

 bust quality sewing machine silk, and wax it before winding, or 

 instead of waxing after winding the silk wet it with hot water 

 and brush it over with thin glue. You will do well to read the 

 work on "Fly-Rods and Fly-Tackle," by Henry P. Wells. 



G. de M , Quebec— Can you tell wha»is to be the adopted de- 

 signation for the "ouananische," "winninish. "or whatever •'ische" 

 or "ish" he may bp? The first name looks nice when correctly 

 spelled, but the other appears easier reading. "Landlocked sal- 

 mon" is expressive, hut awkward. Ans. In "The Fisheries and 

 1 isher.v Indusiries of the United States," published by the United 

 States Fish Commission, the Indian name of this salmon is adopted 

 and the phonetic spelling is expressed by winninish. The same 

 form was employed by Dr. Goode, first in the "Game Fishes of 

 the United States," and later in American Fishes " Wintnnish 

 is a variation of ihe above. The name ouanrmtehe is the French 

 equivalent of the sam thing. 



A. W. B., Hot Springs. N". C— 1. I want to get a rifle that will 

 do for general shooting such as I may run across in this region, 

 wild turkej , deer and perhaps sometimes a shot at a bear; would 

 a Winchester repeater, model 1886, .38cal. be heavy enough for my 

 purpose or would the .40cal. he better? 2. I am afraid of snakes 

 and meet more or b-ss of them in the mountains. I have never 

 got into close quarters with a rattler, but if I should would a pair 

 of medium heavy b^ots protect my fpet and legs or would the 

 snane be ab,e to bite through them. I want to have a pair made 

 and wsh to know how heavy it is necessarv to have tup leather 

 to protect myself. Ans. 1. Select the model 1886, .38-56-255. 2. 

 The regular hunting boots kept in stock by dealers or made to 

 order.
