GAME BIRDS 
Water Birds — Game Birds 
— Upland and Shore Birds 
— In Colors 
By CHESTER A. REED 
Is a book written especially for sports- 
men as a concise guide to the identifica- 
tion of water birds, game upland and 
shore birds. 
One hundred and sixty species of birds 
are faithfully depicted by the colored 
pictures, and the text gives considerable 
idea of their habits and tells where they 
are to be found at different seasons of 
the year. 
These illustrations are reproduced from water-color painting by the author, whose 
books on birds and flowers have had the largest sale of any ever published in this 
country. They are made by the best known process by one of the very first 
engraving houses in the country and the whole typography is such as is rarely 
seen in any book. 
The cover is a very attractive and unique one, with set-in pictures.

New Circular lOc. 
persistent fisherman will be able to 
force a rise by the exercise of sufficient 
care and accuracy. In the evening, 
just before dusk, he may count, with 
certainty, on the inevitable hatch of 
flies and the consequent activity of sur- 
face-feeding fish. Then, too, he should 
bear in mind that, in hot weather, rises 
frequently occur during the early 
morning hours and that a before- 
breakfast trip to some nearby pool will 
often yield results. 
Twice, last summer, in late August, 
the writer, imbued with the spring 
philosophy that there was nothing do- 
ing until the sun was well up, lingered 
too long after breakfast and reached 
the stream to find the tail end of a 
frantic rise in progress. Trout, large 
and small, were leaping clear of the 
water in pursuit of floating insects, 
but in a few minutes, the hatch was 
over and the surface of the pool as 
flat and unresponsive as that of a bar- 
ren bath tub. 
Fishing conditions change constant- 
ly under the influence of atmosphere, 
water depth and season, and it be- 
hooves the fisherman to be alert, ob- 
servant and adaptable if he would be 
uniformly successful. 
T ROUT fishing is the one outdoor 
sport which welcomes cloudy and 
showery weather. This is especially 
true during the low water season when 
a sharp shower will change the whole 
complexion of a seemingly hopeless day 
and stir up the sluggish fish into un- 
usual activity. Lucky the fisherman 
who, crouched beneath the bole of some 
overleaning hemlock, rides out a sum- 
mer downpour, while the little rivulets 
from the steep bank side mix their 
coffee-colored flow with the too clear 
water of the stream, and the wash from 
dripping bough and bush puts every 
trout in the brook on the lookout for 
disabled and rain-spent flies. 
To the fisherman who confines his 
trout-tempting activities to May and 
June, a late season trip to his favorite 
fishing ground will often bring many 
surprises and a new pleasure in the 
new and changed aspects of the stream 
as he knew it in the spring. He will 
find himself lord of all the water over 
long stretches, unhampered and un- 
annoyed by the movements of other 
fishermen above and below him. He 
will be forced to observe a new cau- 
tiousness of approach; a defter and 
more accurate handling of rod and fly 
and, it may be that, by observation 
and demonstration, he will absorb new 
and helpful hints concerning the habits 
and actions of trout which will tend tc 
increase his general fishing knowledgs 
and ability.
