ERECTING A WALL TENT. 
Elmer Russell Gregor, the well-known author 
■of outdoor books, sends the Nessmuk corner a 
photograph of a wall tent erected in a manner 
that gives real satisfaction whenever tried. Of 
course this method of putting up a tent is good 
•only in places where timber is abundant. It will 
■be noted that the cross pieces carry the ridge pole, 
support the tent, and allow side pieces to be at¬ 
tached so that the tent can be held tight and at 
the exact angle. The guy ropes tied to the side 
pieces give a solid support and obviate the ne¬ 
cessity of using and driving about 30 or 40 tent 
pegs. The same method can be used in tents 
of other shapes. 
Fish-eating ducks. 
These ducks may be made palatable by par¬ 
boiling them in water with an onion in it. After 
parboiling them discard the onion and lay the 
■ducks in cold water for half an hour, after 
which they may be roasted, broiled, fried or 
stewed. 
MILDEWED TENTS. 
To remove mildew whitewash the tent with a 
weak solution of chloride of lime. Add salt 
to make it stick. A strong solution will rot the 
cloth. Two pounds of slacked lime to a barrel 
of soft water is the right proportion. 
MULLINS 
STEEL BOATS 
CANT SINK* 
Fishing’s Always Good When You Have a Mullins Boat 
N ever fished from a Mullins boat? Gee, you certainly have a treat coming, brother! 
Listen! You’ll find it the driest, most 
comfortable fishing boat you ever 
stepped into. It’s steady and stable, 
walk all around in it and it’ll never tip 
over. Light—easy to handle—roomy. 
Can’t leak, water-log, dry out or open 
at the seams—-never needs calking. 
You can face either end of the boat 
when fishing. In either deep or 
shallow water, rain or shine, Mullins 
steel fishing boats make the greatest 
sport in the world doubly enjoyable. 
Don't buy any kind of rowboat, power boat or canoe, until 
you have read Mullins catalog. Free on request.

THE 1917 NATIONAL SPORTSMEN’S SHOW. 
The National Sportsmen’s Show Corporation 
of No. 1 Madison Ave., New York City will 
hold the next annual Sportsmen’s Show, under 
the auspices of the National Sportsmen’s Asso¬ 
ciation, Inc., in February, 1917, in New York 
City. A strong array of exhibitors is already 
lined up and includes a number of new comers 
in the field besides some of the old stagers who 
exhibited in the earlier shows but fell out of 
line and now have volunteered to enlist again in 
the ranks. 
The next and future Sportsmen’s Shows will 
be managed by Captain Dressel and Mr. Allen 
S. Williams. 
An effort was made by the Association and 
Corporation to hold a show in March of this 
year at Madison Square Garden but owing to in¬ 
terferences which precluded a sufficiently early 
beginning and the fact that about every exhibi¬ 
tion held this season, with the sole exception of 
the Automobile Show, proved total or partial fail¬ 
ures, it was decided that to wait until 1917 would 
be a policy of wisdom for all interests. 
WATERPROOFING TENTS. 
Dissolve pound each of sugar of lead and 
powdered alum in a bucket of rain water, and 
pour the solution into a large tub. Soak your 
tent for twenty-four hours, and then hang it up 
to dry instead of wringing it dry. Rain will 
hang to it in globules, but won’t go through the 
cloth. It will also prevent mildew. 
WATERPROOFING LEATHER. 
Melt together one pound tallow, 14 ounce 
neatsfoot oil, one ounce resin, 14 ounce lamp- 
black and one tablespoonful linseed oil.
