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.” 161 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.

CROCODILES AND SLEEPING SICKNESS 
])Iany a writer in Forst and Stream, describ¬ 
ing his hunting adventures in Africa, has ex¬ 
pressed his dislike and disgust for the croco¬ 
diles, so abundant in many of the rivers there. 
A new indictment—followed by a saving per¬ 
haps—is brought against the crocodile by a 
London correspondent of the Asian, who quotes 
the German investigator Koch, as follows: 
“How the hippopotamus combats sleeping 
sickness,” suggests one of Lewis Carroll’s non¬ 
sense rhymes rather than a fact in sober science, 
but it is much on a par with Darwins’ famous 
Cats and Honey. At a recent meeting of the 
Society of Arts, Dr. Ofenheim delivered a lec¬ 
ture on living micro-organisms, devoting atten¬ 
tion to the organism which induces sleeping 
sickness. In a fly whose bite causes this dis¬ 
ease in man, Koch found crocodile’s blood, and 
his experiments showed that the fly could not 
exist without the blood of the crocodile; there¬ 
fore, if “crocs” were exterminated, the extinc¬ 
tion of the fly must follow and with its extinc¬ 
tion, sleeping sickness must disappear. The 
hippo, unconsciously ally of humanity, is a ruth¬ 
less destroyer of crocodiles’ eggs; therefore a 
valuable agent in keeping down the saurian 
population and a beast to be cherished. The 
learned Professor’s discovery should inaugurate 
a new era for the hippo and gain for him at least 
immunity from “things that burst inside” as a 
Punch poet has it. But let us not go too fast. 
Improbable, as it appears, the unattractive- 
crocodile may, in his own unlovely fashion be 
rendering service to humanity, and if his ex¬ 
tinction should be followed by the discovery 
that he is less black than he is painted, where 
should we be? Perhaps we need not concern 
ourselves on that score; the crocodile has no 
friends, but up till now he has shown enviable 
ability for taking care of himself, hippo and 
man notwithstanding.

The Angler’s Workshop 
RODMAKING FOR BEGINNERS 
By PERRY D. FRAZER 
A unique work, bringing the science of rodmaking up to the very moment and 
epitomizing the knowledge and the experience of experts for the guidance of the 
average man. The evolution of bait-casting principles has made Mr. Frazer’s book 
supersede all previous publications on the subject. 
Every angler—young or old-—who is fond of adapting his rods and tackle to his 
own ideas of what they should be, will find in this book a large fund of information 
gathered by the author in years of study, experiment and practical experience in 
fishing, tournament casting and at the work bench. He theorizes and speculates 
.not at all. He tells “the how” of everything connected with rodmaking in a way 
that makes results certain. All explanations are simple and easily followed. 
Separate chapters are devoted to each of a half dozen types of bait-casting rods; 
to tarpon, surf and light salt water rods; bass and trout, salmon and tournament 
fly-rods. Complete specifications of well known types are given, and the chapter 
on split bamboo rodmaking is the most comprehensive treatise on the subject ever 
published. Indispensable in the angler’s library. 
* Cloth, 180 pages, four full-page illustrations, 60 working drawings, making plain 
every feature of the text. Postpaid, $1.

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. 
Postpaid, $1.50
