Rind of game, the various kinds of decoys and blinds, 
and baits and tackle for the fish. 
It gives over 4,000 localities where game and flsh 
maybe found, specifies the game found in each 
locality, the hotel accommodation, and the best 
route to get there. (The preparation of this Directory 
was In Itself a work of great magnitude )

maybe taken with the hook; 80 varieties of ducks ; 
60 varieties of snipe or waders, and the different 
methods of shooting each.

The chapters relating to selection, breeding, rearing, 
breaking, care and diseases, comprise a seventh 
part of the volume. There are 71 prescriptions and

upon the dog and his diseases. Any physician can 
administer the prescriotlons with perfect confidence 
In their safety and efficacy. 
It contains very useful recipes and remedies for

all kinds ; for cleaning, repairing, and preserving
