ding faster than we can normally send 
i]/s ounces in a 12 will do business when 
it connects with a flock of ducks. This 
is exactly what those loads were de- 
signed for. 
W HILE the 10-gauge is not likely to 
ever regain its former popularity 
in this country we must remember that 
it makes the wild-fowl double gun par 
excellence. It has very likely killed more 
game in America than any other gauge. 
It is just as effective now as in times 
gone by. It lost its popularity in most 
places because the public preferred the 
quick handling and speed of fire of the 
12 -gauge and not because of any defects 
except excessive weight in the lo-gauge 
gnus or loads. 
WALKING ON WEBBED 
FEET

will allow the tail of one shoe to swing 
over upon that of the other and then try 
to lift the under shoe. It’s often tried 
but it can’t be done. A tumble comes in 
natural sequence. Likewise, when he 
tries to step backward. 
When you travel any distance on 
snowshoes, be prepared for any break 
in the stringing, harness, or frame. Take 
along a supply of rawhide and several 
buckskin thongs. Even though the frame 
snaps, you can splice this with a piece 
of wood and 
rawhide. A 
Boy Scout’s 
knife serves 
as an excel- 
lent pocket 
tool kit to 
use in con- 
junction with 
these. Any 
break should 
be fixed im- 
mediately or 
else it will 
get worse, 
and more 
A popular type of harness serious, your 
legs will give 
out as the result of walking upon dis- 
abled snowshoes. 
The life of a snowshoe is largely de- 
pendent upon the sort of care which it 
receives. It can be ruined in one season 
or it can be made to last several. A 
snowshoe receives enough unavoidable 
wrenches and strains without adding to 
these when it is unnecessary. To stand 
with your snowshoes suspended between 
two rocks or fallen trees is an avoidable 
strain. Jumping, although undeniably 
good fun, does not add to the life of the 
snowshoe, for you may land on a buried 
rock or stump that will bring ruin to 
the stringing. Sliding down hill on 
snowshoes is another sport that is wear- 
ing upon the stringing. 
When you come home after a day’s 
tramp with wet snowshoes, they should 
be dried out but it is important that they

be dried out Slowly. Do not place them 
behind the stove or too close to an opeiv 
fire as artificial heat ruins the leather? 
Once a year, it is a good idea to givf 
snowshoes a coat of spar varnish but 
they must be thoroughly dry at the time." 
At any time that the stringing gets espe- 
cially dry, a coat of neat’s foot oil will- 
do it good. When you put your snow- 
shoes away for the summer, hang themi 
by wires from the rafters so that ratsi 
and mice cannot get at them. These : 
pests find the stringing an especially 1 
dainty morsel.

ground. The best catches of the season 
were made where I had placed traps on 
top of the piles of debris. Every fur-' 
bearer seemed bound to walk across 
these high and dry places in the wet, 
swamp. I kept busy from morning till 
night when furs were best, just wading 
from place to place and taking care of my 
traps. The result was that I caught fari 
more than in walking many miles along^ 
traplines that I have run for years. Try 
intensive trapping this winter and you 
will get bigger results.

down struck the prairie with a thud. A 
few yards farther on another folded its 
wings and dropped like a stone. Then 
another set its wings and came sailing 
down, and another, and another, and so 
for half a mile they kept dropping out, 
while we eagerly watched and marked 
them down as best we might. 
Andy and I sprang from the wagon to

we got near enough to shoot them over,
