PUBLISHERS’ DEPARTMENT. 
In this issue of Forest and Stream the Winchester 
Repeating Arms Co., New Haven, Conn., presents a 
full-page advertisement, in which is. set forth a minute 
description, with illustrations, of their new high-power 
.351 caliber rifle, model of 1907. This rifle was subjected 
to prolonged and severe tests before it was put on the 
market, so that it is up to the high standard of excel¬ 
lence for which all Winchester products are famous. 
For Out-of-Doors Men. 
Here in Maine, as in every other State, there are thou¬ 
sands of thoughtful and observing men who roam in 
fields and woods at times, and who see strange and wild 
things concerning the habits of which they wish to learn 
more particulars. At places among open hardwoods and 
neat clearings, perhaps, there are colonies of brown l.ttle 
rabbits that go scurrying into underground burrows at 
the approach of human beings. What are the habits and 
methods of life pursued by these animals? Are they 
among the original natives of America, which were here 
when Columbus arrived, or are they foreigners which 
have been naturalized? And what relation does the rab¬ 
bit bear to the larger and wilder hares? How many fit¬ 
ters of offspring does each species bring forth in a 
season? If left to multiply unmoleste'd, which species 
would outstrip its competitor in avoiding “race suicide”? 
And the woodchuck which • stands guard at the mouth 
of its burrow, how many baby woodchucks does it nave 
in a year? And how long does it sleep underground? 
And what is. the best way to dress and prepare a fat 
wcodchuck for cooking and eating? Of the little mam¬ 
mals that are common to the Eastern States, which is 
the most palatable when roasted, and placed on the table 
—the v/ccdchuck, the skunk, the muskrat or the hedge¬ 
hog? Is the meat of the deer fit to eat after the animal 
has eaten. from arbor vitae twigs for weeks during the 
cold days of midwinter? How many species of the wild 
ducks, which are common in Maine, are really palataole 
as food for human beings? Where do wild deer teed 
most commonly during the open season when they are 
hunted by thousands of gunners? What is the chosen 
food of deer? Of moose? Why does a fox when started 
by the hounds, run to windward? Why are female 
hounds considered more useful than males for fox 
hunting? 
There are thousands of questions similar to the above 
which many thousands of sensible men and women wish 
to have answered. These men like to talk about such 
matters, and relate their own experience; and perhaps 
dispute the assertions of Other men, who are also more or 
less familiar with the subjects. If merchants and clerks 
and bookkeepers who steal two weeks every year from 
their work for the sake of hunting, or if thousands of 
farmers and country gentlemen who live among natural 
scenes and who wish to learn more — if every natural and 
thoughtful man who lives could get at real facts through 
some paper or magazine, he would buy such a publica¬ 
tion constantly, and would read it regularly, and every 
time he read the accounts he would feel as if he were 
out in the woods and fields again and living the free, 
glad life which he likes. 
It is safe to say that the one particular publication that 
is devoted to the foregoing and kindred subjects, .the 
paper that has won its high place through years of care¬ 
ful effort, and the paper which is looked to by hunters 
and naturalists as something that is reliable — the chief 
out-of-doors paper in America is Forest and Stream, a 
fat .and informing weekly, which is published fifty-two 
times a year at 346 Broadway, New York city. No 
hunter or fisherman or naturalist or curious seeker into 
the secrets of the woods and fields and waters, can be 
lonesome while .Forest and Stream visits him every 
week.—Virgil G. Eaton in Bangor Daily News. 
FROG FARM IN WASHINGTON. 
Seattle is to have a frog farm. R. C. Byers, 
a pioneer restaurant man of the city, has made 
elaborate preparations for the culture of the frog, 
and promises to market his product this winter. 
He has. bought five acres bordering on Haller 
Lake, formerly known as Hidden Lake. The 
frog farm proper will have a lake frontage of 
200 feet. For forty feet to the lakeward, a fence 
of wire will be constructed to prevent the escape 
of the croaking captives. Mr. Byers has built 
his farm on the marshiest portion of the lake, and 
states that the soil and conditions are such as 
to assure the success of his project. He has im¬ 
ported his frogs from the famous Kankakee 
marsh, in Illinois. The frogs are of the green 
bullfrog type, and when ready for market their 
legs will equal those of chickens.—Seattle News.

beautiful illustrations, and was- published at £2 10s. We 
can send this book, express paid, for $10.25. It will

FOREST AND STREAM. PUBLISHING CO. 
ROWLAND E. ROBINSON’S 
Danvis Books. 
These books have taken their place as classics in the 
literature of New England village and woods life. Mr. 
Robinson’s characters are peculiar, quaint and lovable; 
one reads of them now with smiles and now with tears 
(and need not be ashamed to own to the tears). Mr. 
Robinson writes of nature with marvelous insight; his is 
the ready word, the phrase, to make a bit of landscape, a 
scene of outdoors, stand out clear and vivid like a 
startling flashing out from the reader’s own memory.
