reflector oven for baking purposes, I have 
yet to see one of them than can equal the 
old dutch oven, or for roasting meats. 
The great objection to the dutch oven 
is its weight and liability of breakage 
when dropped. But where weight does 
not count one should be taken along. 
My idea of a camp oven would be one 
made of heavy pressed steel, along the 
lines of the dutch oven. It should be 
about 12 inches in diameter and about 
8 inches in depth — two sections of 4 
inches each. One half should be slightly 
less in diameter than the other, for tel- 
escoping, which would allow the oven to 
be fitted over one end of the cooking out- 
fit and all pack into the fibre case. The 
smaller half to have flanged rims to in- 
sure a fit when set up, and there should 
be a roasting rack and a shallow bread 
pan included, while the top half should 
be sunken to allow coals to be heaped 
upon it as with the present heavy dutch 
oven. 
T HERE are various ways of cooking 
over fires. My way is this : I carry 
two iron bars 30 inches long, by 
% thick, by 1 wide. An inch from each 
end there is a 3-16 hole. When making 
camp I cut two green logs about three 
feet long and twelve inches in diameter. 
I square two sides which makes the logs 
flat on top and bottom. They are then 
placed parallel to each other far enough 
apart to allow the holes in the bars to be 
over their centers. The bars are placed 
about 6 inches apart, and a nail through 
each hole completes the job. 
For carrying grub I have an assort- 
ment of friction top tins and waterproof 
food bags, and to hold them I have built 
a couple of light wooden boxes. This af- 
fords good protection to the grub while 
in transit and takes up but a minimum 
of space in the wagon. 
No hunter should go into the woods 
without a medicine kit of some descrip- 
tion. Accidents are liable to happen, or 
sickness of some kind may seize some 
member of the party without warning. 
Then a good kit, and a knowledge of 
how to use it, stands you in good stead. 
In addition to the above, I have a spe- 
cial kit for use in treating a bite from a 
rattlesnake or a cotton mouth moccasin. 
A description follows : A hypodermic 
and two extra points; a small vial of 1/30 
grain strychnia sulphate tablets; a vial 
of permanganate flour; a vial of plain 
distilled water, securely sealed ; a lancet ; 
a small roll of medicated gauze; a small 
roll of adhesive tape ; a cord for use as a 
tourniquet and a nitrate of silver stick 
compose the contents of the kit, which, 
itself, is a small wooden box 5x2x1% 
inches, and which, when filled, is wrapped 
in oiled silk and securely tied. 
The method to be employed in treating 
a bite is as follows: With the lancet, 
cut to the bottom of the fang wounds to 
encourage free bleeding. Then inject a 
solution of permanganate directly into 
it, or, better still, rub the flour directly 
into the cut. The permanganate will 
oxidize the poison before it has time to 
get in its deadly work. The strychnia 
sulphate tablets are for use in case the 
victim’s heart action becomes weak, when 
one should be swallowed. The tourniquet
