action—the Autoloading guns load themselves. Ask your dealer or write us TO-DAT.

bone on the middle line and near the kidneys. 
You will recognize the male organ as small 
whitish spherical or bean-shaped bodies lying one 
on either side of the backbone, and over the kid¬ 
neys, while the female organ consists of a whitish 
or.yellowish mass made up of many small spheri¬ 
cal bodies which at certain seasons of the year 
are large enough to be recognized individually 
as eggs, but in autumn and winter may not show 
as separate bodies. To learn the sex of your 
bird you should cut through the walls of the 
abdomen, preferably on the right side, and re¬ 
move, lift up, or push aside the entrails, so that 
the organs lying close up against the backbone 
may be visible. The cuts shown here will give 
you a good idea of how these organs look. 
All this sounds like a long, slow and tedious 
! operation, and the first time that you perform 
it you may find it so, but the difficulties of the 
work are more apparent than real, and if you 
are willing to take the trouble to do this a few 
times you may become sufficiently interested in 
the work to want to make a collection of the 
different species of birds that you kill. If you 
should feel like doing this, it will be well worth 
your while to go to some taxidermist in your 
town and get him to give you half a dozen of 
lessons in making skins. He can show you on 
the specimen just how each operation is to be 
performed, and when you see him handle his 
knife, his forceps and the bird’s skin, you will 
be astonished at the readiness with which he 
performs an operation which to you seemed most 
difficult the first time you undertook it.

Modern Fish Culture in Fresh 
and Salt Water 
BY FRED MATHER. 
Sportsmen will learn with surprise that by a 
recent notification in the official gazette the 
government of India has placed very consider¬ 
able restriction on shooting in the inner Him¬ 
alaya of Garhwal and Kumaon. By the fixing 
of what is known as the “inner line,” a very 
considerable area of the interior of these British 
provinces is made inaccessible to the British 
sportsman, except under certain specified con¬ 
ditions, to be accompanied by the issue of a 
special pass. .Starting from the Nepal-Kumaon 
frontier at the junction of the Darma with the 
Kali River, the inner runs for a distance of some 
400 miles to the western portion of Garhwal and 
Tibet, at distances from the Chinese or Tibet 
boundaries varying from a few to as much as 
thirty-five miles. A relatively large tract of 
territory, to which sportsmen have hitherto en¬ 
joyed free access, is thus practically closed to 
the British big game hunter. That the enact¬ 
ment is not for the purpose of game protection 
seems apparent from the absence in the gazette 
of any statement to that effect, and it is, there- 
f<3re, probably to be attributed to political con¬ 
sideration.—London Field. 
All the game laws of the United States and 
Canada, revised to date and now in force, are 
given in the Game Laws in Brief. See adv.

Every one who owns a dog should possess this invalu¬ 
able book, which has been long in preparation, and has 
been pronounced by a competent authority for ahead of 
any other work yet attempted upon the subject. The 
minuteness with which every detail is considered leaves 
little or nothing for any future work to attempt. Es¬ 
pecially important chapters are those on eczema, the 
different kinds of mange, poisons, distemper, hydro¬ 
phobia, ear and eye diseases, vaginal diseases, diseases 
of the urinary and sexual organs, and pneumonia (an 
especially valuable contribution), also the portions of 
the work which are devoted to symptoms and diagnosis. 
The work is entirely devoid of technical terms, and is 
written in such entertaining style, that any one with a 
love of dogs would find it not only valuable and help¬ 
ful, but interesting as well.

Fishing is in the air. It is becoming more and more 
necessary for the individual angler to consider the future 
supply of game fish. Stream and lake stocking is the 
order of the day. It can be done on a small scale as 
well as on a large one. Fishculture, too, can be made a 
profitable side line. 
Mr. Mather’s book is designed to enable the individual 
to do what public authorities and clubs are doing at 
large expense. It is thoroughly practical, easily under¬ 
stood, and treats of every phase of fishculture. It is 
just the thing for the man who owns a small pond or 
stream section and wants to provide fish for sport or the 
table at moderate cost. Heavy paper. Cloth. Illustrated.
