NEWFOUNDLAND 
A Country of Fish and Game. A Paradise lor the Camper and Angler. Ideal Canoe Trips. 
The country traversed by the Reid Newfoundland Company’s system is exceedingly rich in all kinds of fish and 
game. HAD along the route of the Railway are streams famous for their SALMON and TROUT fishing, also 
Caribou barrens. HAmericans who have been fishing and hunting in Newfoundland say there is no other country 
in the world in which so good fishing and hunting can be secured and with such ease as in Newfoundland.

Nursing vs. Dosing 
A Treatise on the Care of Dogs in Health and Disease. 
By S. T. Hammond (“Shadow”), Author of “Train¬ 
ing vs. Breaking.” 101 pages. Cloth. Price, $1.00. 
Mr. Hammond believes that more dogs are killed by 
injudicious doctoring than by disease, and the present 
work is a protest against the too free use of medicine 
when dogs are sick. The author has given special at¬ 
tention to many of the troubles which especially afflict 
small dogs kept in the house, and likely to suffer from 
lack of exercise and from over-feeding; and boys and 
girls owning dogs—as well as children of larger growth 
—may profitably study and ponder this volume.

bite better early in the mornings. The cost of 
a fishing trip to the ocean depends entirely upon 
the wishes of the angler and the number of 
anglers who make up the party. During the 
height of the season the different railroads run 
cheap excursion trains daily to most of the re¬ 
sorts, while at different times during the week 
excursions are run to the smaller resorts where 
excellent fishing is almost certain to be found. 
Once at the resort where the fishing is to be 
found the question comes up as to whether it is 
necessary to hire a boat or whether the anglers 
shall fish from the many piers to be found all 
along the coast. The price of a boat depends 
upon whether it be a sailboat or a rowboat. 
For inside fishing the rowboat is all right pro¬ 
viding the anglers know where to fish and are 
not afraid of the exertion necessary to pull 
against the tide. Often it is possible to strike 
the tide in such a manner that the boat will be 
carried to the fishing grounds by it. In such 
cases the anglers can fish on the high water and 
come back with the outgoing tide which will 
carry them back to their destination. 
At almost all of the resorts rowboats may be 
procured for from fifty cents to one dollar a 
day, and they will accommodate a party of 
three. The boatmen usually furnish bait for no 
additional expense. The renters. of the boat 
also have a stock of handlines which usually go 
with the boats. Sailboats are more expensive 
and are decidedly necessary for those who wish 
to go out to sea. The ordinary sailboat to be 
found at the shore is called a catboat and they 
range from eighteen to thirty feet in length, 
providing good accommodations for parties of 
seven or eight, although it is always best to 
have no more than five in the party. The cap¬ 
tain provides bait, hooks and lines and the av¬ 
erage charge is five dollars for the day or three 
or four dollars for half a day. Early and late in 
the season, if the party consists of only two or 
three persons, it is possible to induce a boat¬ 
man to take a trip out for three or four dol¬ 
lars, but during the middle of the summer the 
captains stick to their price, five or six dollars 
a day. There are other incidentals, of course, 
such as refreshments and hotel expenses, but 
as those depend entirely upon the will of the 
angler it is impossible to estimate them. 
At any and all of the fishing resorts fair hotel 
accommodations may be secured for a dollar 
and a half a day. At Anglesea the system is 
somewhat different from that pursued by the 
boatmen at other places. Of course the sail¬ 
boats may be hired by the day, but when they 
are not the captains usually get as many anglers 
as wish to go out and charge them each one 
dollar. Sometimes these boats have seven or 
eight anglers on board, at other times not more 
than two or three, so that the angler who goes 
there alone usually has an opportunity to join 
a party at a reasonable price. From Anglesea, 
beginning generally in June and ending about 
the middle of September, one or more steamers 
await the arrival of the morning train and take 
anglers out for one dollar each, returning to 
land in time to enable the passengers to catch 
the evening train home. These steamers go 
out to the Fishing Banks almost every day, the 
exception being when they feel such a good 
catch can be made nearer land. When the 
steamers go to the banks they go after sea bass 
principally, although other species of fish are 
caught at the same time. 
Life and Sport in Labrador 
NAPOLEON A. COMEAU. 
In “Life and Sport on the North Shore of the Lower 
St. Lawrence and Gulf,” Mr. Comeau has made a 
valuable addition to the literature of rod and rifle — 
and more. It is a book of engrossing personal inter¬ 
est to the sportsman or general reader, and of rare 
value to the student of wild life. 
The author describes the events and experiences of 
fifty years, spent in the cause of humanity and science 
in one of the most interesting and least known sec¬ 
tions of Canada. He writes as one sportsman to his 
fellows, detailing his experiences with the wild things 
of wood, shore and sea, with plenty of stirring experi¬ 
ences with big game and gamy fish.

The Game Book 
STANDARD BIG GAME MEASUREMENTS 
Every man wants to compare his trophy with those of other big-game hunters. 
But comparisons are useless unless there is a fixed standard. 
The game book of the Boone and Crockett Club, the foremost organization of 
hunters of American big-game supplies this. Compiled by J. H. Kidder, it provides 
directions for standard measurements of the large game animals of America, with 
spaces carefully arranged for complete data regarding the kill, locality, time, con¬ 
ditions, etc. 
It is handsomely and durably bound pocket size. It is an invaluable record 
for every man who goes into the wild for sport with the rifle, a handy book, a 
camp companion, and a library reminder of days afield. Leather.
