J. B. S., Princeton, N. J. — 1. Would you kindly state in your columU 

 for answers to correspondents whether it would be safe to use buck- 

 shot with a heavy enough charge for large game at close quarters in 

 a single barrel Forehand & Wadsworth shotgun of average weight? 

 If not, kindly state how heavy a chai'ge and what shot to use. 

 2. Where can I buy a serviceable thin blade, round handle hunting 

 knife and sheath; not one of those awkward ones you ordinarily buy? 

 Ans. 1. Provided the buckshot chamber properly there should be no 

 ddnger in shooting them from the gun you name. To select the proper 

 size place a wad quarter of an inch inside the muzzle of the gun and try 

 with different size shot till you get a size that will perfectly fit the 

 barrel when in layers of three or more. 2. You wiU probably find 

 what you want described in the catalogue of some of our advertisers 

 of sportsmen's goods. 



E. M., Washington.— Try the waters about Quantico for ducks and 

 the upper Potomac for fishing. For quail you might run down to 

 North Carolina, to Greensboro or vicinity, or to Avoca. If you want 

 trout and picturesque scenery go to the Cheat River in West Virginia 

 via the B. & O. 



Camp.— Will some brother sportsman who has fished or camped on 

 or near the Yough Manor Lands. Maryland, inform me through the 

 Forest and Stream whether good fishing, hunting and camping can . 

 be had there? 



A New Reader. — The articles you name have been extensively used 

 foi' years, and will not injure the gun.

Canoe and Camp Coolsery . 



By "SENECA." 



A practical cook book for canoeists, Corinthian sailors and outers. Practical because 

 the author gives explicit and intelligible directions for preparing such dishes as he has him 

 self actually tested in camp and on a cruise. This is just where the recipes differ from the 

 absurdly impracticable dishes given in some so-called camp cookery books. The cooking 

 outfit is described, and numerous hints on camp economy add to the value of the work.
