LEADERS 
Tile genuine Telerana Nova is 
the cheapest and best by actual 
test. Thousands of the best 
anglers in the world are using 
them. Why not you? Univer- 
sally praised, strong, knotless, 
durable: one trial will con- 
vince the most skeptical. For 
trial, I will mail you a 3-ft, in any Bass or Trout size 
for 25c; 6-ft., 50c; or 9-ft., 75c. One Leader will last 
you two seasons and then be good. Prices for Salmon 
sizes on application. 
Again, here is what the average angler has been looking 
for: Limerick Hooks, T. D. Eye No. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12, 
tied on Joe Welsh's Snells, making the hook the weakest 
part of your tackle. All sizes $1.00 per dozen. Save your 
fish by using this new snelled hook. They do not get 
brittle with age. 
The Blue Devil darning needle floats. Bass and Trout 
sizes with three foot leader attached, 75c. 
The "Welsherana” transparent minnows in five colors 
are the latest and best in Plugdom. Trout and Bass 
sizes $1.00 each, can be used on a 
fly rod or bait-casting rod. 
A sample order of the above will 
prove to you that Joe Welsh's goods 
is in a class by itself. 
Most dealers handle my goods. If 
yours don't write me. 
JOE WELSH. 
PASADENA, CALIFORNIA. 
Distributors for U. S. and Canada, 
In Writing to Advertisers mention Forest and Stream. It will 
and my outfit over. I finally walked of? ' 
about a rod, when she took her place 
readily enough. I now walked as cau- 
tiously as possible to the camera and 
without disturbing her secured a picture. 
I secured a second picture on a cold, 
windy day, just after the eggs had 
hatched. The brave bird seemed to un- 
derstand that she must keep her little 
ones warm. She reluctantly left when I 
came too near with the camera, stayed 
away hut a minute or two, and then re- 
turned, and with me standing beside the 
camera, within three feet of the nest, 
after a preliminary adjustment of her 
feet settled on the nest facing us, as 
much as to say: “There, take your pic-i 
ture, if you must, but picture or no these 
little ones must be kept warm.” I saw 
the nest shortly before and then just 
after the first two birds left. A day or 
two later and the last one, too, had gotten 
safely away. 
•^HE history of the robin nests ob- 
served this year was surprising tc, 
me in that so many nests were either! 
deserted, robbed or destroyed. On the' 
other hand, I had seen seven lusty broodsj 
safely grown by the middle of June. Al 
that time young but full-grown robins! 
were to be seen wherever I went. The} 
could easily be distinguished from adnll 
Irirds by their spotted breasts, theii 
squeaky chirps for food, and their pre- 
cipitate and blundering flight. Occa-! 
sionally one revealed his age when hf 
lost his balance on alighting. He had 
not yet learned all the fine points of the 
art of flying. The large number seer 
shows that in spite of the tragedies con- 
nected with the nesting season, robins 
are evidently holding their own. 
BOATING AND BOAT- 
BUILDING 
{Continued from page 251) 
volume. Twelve feet is a more wield} 
length than sixteen. A log 1 foot ir 
diameter and 12 feet long has a volumi 
of 9)/2 cubic feet, and our two-log raf 
would weigh but 450 pounds, have a tota 
floating capacity of about seven hnndrei; 
and fifty pounds and sustain its load oi 
a draft of about five inches. 
Lashed close together, the platforn| 
would be narrow and, while perfecthi 
safe, rather cramped and uncomfortable 
hut the two logs could be spread apar 
three feet to gain stability and comforlj 
and decked with poles it would turn ou 
a much more serviceable craft. j 
This is the sort of thing you can pun 
on any back-country pond where the fisi 
are. Take a few spikes and nails wit I 
you. The rest of the materials are 0 | 
the ground, so there is nothing to trans 
port. It fits in with the scenery an; 
offers no great incentive to thievery, sj 
will always be ready for you. I do nc 
think there is anything to be gained b| 
sharpening the ends, but if you insif 
on if cut a bevel right up from the bo, 
tom, so that each log will have an er’ 
like a scow. A paddle can be choppe: 
identify you.
