bnt from a four- or five-inch tree and 
smootned ofif with your knife. 
For fishing you will need something 
in the way of an anchor. A stone is 
amateurish and hard to hold, anyway. 
A killick is the original and genuine 
anchor, coming down from the ancients 
and still in use in some parts of the 
world. It will hold ten times better than 
a stone of the same weight and can be 
made in a half hour or so right on the 
grounds. Hunt around for a young tree 
that has a three- or four-branch fork. 
The stem should be an inch or so thick, 
and the branches will probably be from 
a half to three-quarters thick. Cut this 
off about 18 inches below the fork and 
leave a foot or more of each branch. 
Then cut two pieces of tough wood about 
two inches thick and eighteen inches 
long. Next, hunt up a stone from five to 
ten pounds weight that will drop into 
the fork. Take one of the two-inch 
pieces and lash it across the stone to the 
two opposite branches of the fork. Use 
rope or hay-wire, or if you like, bore 
holes for the branches to go through. 
However you do it, make it secure. The 
other two-inch piece should be lashed to 
the other branches. The ends will stick 
out five inches or so, and may be flat- 
tened and sharpened wedge-shape toward 
the fork so as to get a good hold on the 
bottom. If your fork has only three 
branches you will need three cross-pieces 
which will be lashed in triangular shape. 
Now fasten the end of the anchor rope 
around the fork and take a half-hitch 
around the end of the shank, secure it 
with a piece of wire, and there you are. 
!(See figure in left-hand upper corner of 
drawing. ) 
W HEN fall comes around, if you are 
in a duck country, those same logs 
will make a foundation for as good a 
sink-box as you need. Make a shallow 
box of boards. It should be about 6 
Ifeet long, 27 inches wide and not over a 
foot deep. Caulk all the joints with rags 
and putty, tar or pitch (you can get the 
pitch in the woods, but melt a little tallow 
in with it to keep it soft). Secure this 
box between the logs, their tops on the 
same level ; cover the outfit more or less 
with brush or grass, anchor it in a suit- 
able place with a pole at each end and 
go to it. 
I Even in the water, a log is at best a 
{cumbersome affair and is, moreover, 
jwasteful of wood, which is getting 
{scarcer every day. Let’s look a little 
^further and see what we can do about it. 
! One cubic foot of cedar contains 
iitwelve board feet of lumber, that is to 
Isay, it has the makings of a plank one 
ffoot wide, twelve feet long and seven- 
I eighths of an inch thick, allowing for 
the saw cuts. Rip it again and we have 
two planks of the same surface dimen- 
sions and three-eighths of an inch thick, 
‘again allowing for the saw. Rip one of 
^these planks down the middle and cut 
'them all into six-foot lengths. Then lay 
*one 12-inch plank and one 6-inch plank 
idown side by side and cleat them to- 
|gether. Stand another 12-inch plank on 
each side and cut up the other 6-inch

How these game old fighters of 
the northern waters go for the 
gleam of a Hildebrandt Spinner. 
No other lure looks half so good or 
is more effective in holding strikes. 
By actual count, Hildebrandt 
spinners and flies land more big 
muskies than all other lures put 
together. Make sure your kit con- 
tains a complete assortment of 
Hildebrandt spinners and Hilde- 
brandt flies.
