FOREST AND STREAM

In Writing to Advertisers mention Forest and Stream. It will identify you. 
lower end of the drill stick; this will 
soon begin to smoke and presently a 
spark will appear in the powder thus 
formed. Breathe into it gently and when 
well alive dump it into your tinder and 
blow into flame. 
It’s a good stunt to keep a little light 
wood for kindling in the tent; lacking 
this dry wood in rainy weather, you may 
start a fire with dry wood knocked from 
the inside of a stump, log, or dead tree. 
If your kindling is hard to light, a little 
kerosene comes in very handy; there are 
also some highly inflammable cubes about 
the size of a piece of lump sugar thaf 
may be purchased in most sporting goods 
stores, that will assist greatly, if your 
wood is damp. 
Another little trick, if your small wood 
does not catch fire easily, is to make a lot 
of “Xmas trees” — take a quantity of light 
wood slivers and cut into each, as if to 
make shavings; do not cut the shavings 
off altogether, however, leave the ends 
attached to the stock, so that the shav- 
ings stick out from the main stem like 
the branches of a tree. Make a whole 
lot — stand them up against a stick and 
light; they will catch fire readily and 
make a big blaze for the larger wood. 
F OR the cooking fire it is best to make 
a rather small fire with intense heat, 
with as little flame and smoke as 
possible; for a fire to heat the tent, a 
large fire is needed with much flame and 
lots of glowing logs and coals. For your 
fire to heat the tent at night, some sort 
of reflector should be placed back of the 
blaze to direct the heat rays into the 
open front of your tent so that you will 
not lose the warmth by radiation. 
Drive down two hard stakes of red 
oak, red maple or some other nearly un- 
burnable green wood, leaning slightly 
backwards and build a reflector of green 
logs, piled one upon the other, leaning 
against the two uprights. Place two 
logs for andirons and build your fire of 
birch, hickory or oak on them at night. 
When burned down to coals place on 
two or three more logs which should be 
replenished, from time to time, during 
the night. 
The Indian fire or lazy man’s fire may 
be found sufficient for a brilliant night 
fire around which you may gather to 
swap yarns’- This fire is made of “squaw 
wood” — dead saplings, or large branches 
dragged to the camp and placed in a 
circle, the ends pointing towards the cen- 
ter, like the spokes of a wheel. As the 
ends are consumed, the fire may be re- 
plenished by simply! shoving the logs in 
towards the center. 
If you are fortunate enough to be near 
a deposit of clay a good oven may easily 
be constructed by plastering over a keg, 
laid upon its side, a mixture of water 
and clay, a couple of inches thick. Make 
an opening near the closed end for a 
chimney. Fill up the keg with wood and 
burn till the keg is consumed and the 
clay is baked hard. 
If no keg is available, make a form of 
logs and sticks and spread a layer of 
clay over it as you did over the keg. Fire 
the wood as before. To use as an oven 
make a good fire inside and when the 
wood has burned down, rake out the 
NEWFOUNDLAND 
A Country of Fish and Game f 
A Paradise for the Camper and Angler 
Ideal Canoe Trips 
The country traversed by the Reid Newfoundland Company’s system is exceedingly rich in all 
kinds of Fish and Game. All along the route of the Railway are streams famous for their Salmon, 
and Trout fishing, also Caribou barrens. Americans who have been fishing and hunting in New- 
foundland say there is no other country in the world in which so good fishing and hunting can 
be secured and with such ease as in Newfoundland. Information, together with illustrated 
Booklet and Folder, cheerfully forwarded upon application to
