The spirit of Christmas is the spirit of Cheer¬ 
fulness and Good Will to Men—and that is the 
Tuxedo spirit. 
Tuxedo is the mildest, pleasantest pipe tobacco 
in the world — made absolutely non-biting and 
delightfully mellow by the original ‘‘Tuxedo 
Process” that has never been successfully imitated. 
Tuxedo is sold everywhere — but if by any chance you can¬ 
not obtain the Christmas Jar of Tuxedo at your store, send 
us your dealer’s name and 90c, and we will send a jar to you 
or to any address in the _ 
This Tuxedo Christmas Humidor Jar is beau¬ 
tifully decorated with holly, ribbon and Christmas 
card, and packed in a handsome f \ 
carton, for sending by mail 
United States you desire, 
all charges paid. 
Last Christmas the de¬ 
mand for Tuxedo humidor 
jars was so great that thou¬

WILD GEESE IN NOVA SCOTIA. 
Digby, Nova Scotia, Nov. 1, 1915. 
Editor Forest and Stream : 
Some time ago, Mr. J. O. Macdonald of He- 
manville, P. E. I., made practically the same 
statements in “Rod and Gun” in Canada, that he 
now repeats in your October number, relative 
to wild geese and brant in Nova Scotia. I an¬ 
swered his former letter and pointed out to him 
wherein he was wrong, but as my words may 
have escaped his notice, would like to now again 
state, with your permission, that no wild geese 
or brant ever winter “off the Digby Coast of 
Nova Scotia.” To begin with, Digby is not on 
the south shore of this Province, but is situated 
•on the Annapolis Basin which is formed by the 
Bay of Fundy tides running in through Digby 
Gut. The only places where geese winter in 
Nova Scotia are Port Joli, Sable River, Port 
Herbert and Barrington Bay, all these points 
being on the south coast of Nova Scotia. No 
brant winter in the Province. It is rarely we 
ever see any brant in Digby Harbour or An¬ 
napolis Basin these days, and the few which do 
stop here for a week or two, from the middle 
of April until the middle of May, are so poor 
they are not fit for food and not worth shoot¬ 
ing. I have shot brant here years ago in the 
fall of the year, and they were always fat and 
in fine condition. Occasionally, some wild geese 
stop near Digby (at the head of St. Mary’s 
Bay) in the fall during the month of November 
and are in good condition, but those which come 
back in the spring are poor. At the last meet¬ 
ing of the Nova Scotia Legislature a bill was 
passed closing the season on all wildfowl on 
March 1 in compliance to a request made by the 
Nova Scotia Guides’ Association. I believe it 
is generally conceded by sportsmen that spring 
shooting should be abolished. Macdonald 
speaks of two kinds of wild geese, the “White 
Bellies” and the “Grey Bellies,” but I am of the 
opinion they are the same Canada goose, the 
white birds being the old ones. He also says 
that brant breed in Manitoba. Do they?

President of the Nova Scotia Guides’ 
Association.
