as well as a camera, for quite often the 
unexpected happens and a Cooper’s 
hawk or a Goshawk flashes up out of 
nowhere, makes a dash at the decoy and 
departs as swiftly as it came and, if 
not shot, goes on about its life of kill- 
ing. Museums are always glad to have 
specimens, so if the shooter does not 
care to keep the birds he kills, he can 
always send them to the men who are 
making a study of birds, and in this way 
the birds that are generally thrown 
away or hung up on the nearest tree 
will become of some use. It takes very 
little practice to distinguish the differ- 
ent hawks. When shooting them, care 
should be used not to kill the less harm- 
ful varieties, but when a Sharp-shinned, 
a Cooper’s, or a Goshawk is killed then 
one can feel that he has done a good 
day’s work. Practically every hawk that 
comes to the decoy comes in some dif- 
ferent manner and whether one is 
shooting or photographing them, they 
make difficult targets, and the result 
whether you have dead hawks or pho- 
tographs, is well , worth the time you 
spend on them.

CANOE CRUISING

cook needs plenty of dry, hard maple, 
blackjack oak, white oak, pignut hick- 
ory and white birch to make a good cook- 
ing fire. The surest way to have a slow 
meal that is forever cooking is to give 
the cook any old dry trash wood such 
as balsam and pine. There is little heat 
in them, they are “out” most of the 
time and the pot is forever boiling. But 
•black jack and maple will not only start 
the pots up in no time but their coals 
will keep them going long after the 
flames have subsided. Get che boiled 
things going first, the pots over the fire 
amid the flames and the potatoes and 
onions peeled into the “mulligan,” a 
handful of rice added and some salt and 
you can put the cover on and let her 
simmer. Add soup meat if you have it. 
or grouse breasts, chunks of deer meat, 
cut-up rabbit, any old meat component; 
add a bouillion cube for each man when 
the stew is nearly done thirty-five min- 
utes later, and she will taste fine and 
keep you in good health. Fry your fish 
dipped in egg and rolled in corn meal 
and set someone to tending it over a 
bed of coals, while you make up the 
corn bread batter, squaw bread dough, 
or doughgods. These all require a cou- 
ple of blazing logs lifted up off the main 
fire and set on the edge of the wire grate, 
and the baking tin is then put under 
them on top of some coals, or the re- 
flector baker with its pans full of bis- 
cuits is set in front of them. 
Boil rice in the other pot and tea in 
the pail. For breakfasts, have your flap- 
jack flour, coffee, fish fried in bacon 
grease with the bacon on the side, and 
potatoes cubed and creamed. Plenty of 
these, with lots of fruit, will run you 
all day long. Aim to get the canoes in 
the water by eight o’clock, stop paddling 
about noon for an hour to serve a cold 
lunch of ham or sardines, with choco- 
the rifle you asked f6r 
is the rifle that you have been wait- 
for so long. And we have made it 
way — from muzzle to butt -plate. 
It is the result of years of experimental work, 
guided and checked by the ablest military and 
civilian experts, and designed especially to fill 
the exacting requirements of National Rifle 
Association small bore match shooting. 
25-inch round barrel, full military stock, oil 
finish, pistol grip, sling swivels. Marine Corps 
type front, and wind-gauge aperture rear sights, 
5-shot detachable box magazine. Chambered 
for .22 Long Rifle cartridge only. Supplied in 
.22 short on special order only. 
And remember it’s as good for small game 
shooting as for target v/ork.
