Before you plan your 
hunting or camping trip— 
even before you spend five 
cents for equipment, get 
the advice and suggestions 
of America’s greatest 
sportsman — Emerson 
Hough. The amateur and 
the “regular” will each 
find these books brimful of 
worth-while information 
and the kind of assistance 
they need. 
“Let us Go Afield” is a 
call to the wild that tells 
you what to do and how 
to do it when you get 
there. From bass fishing 
to bear hunting it covers 
in detail all branches of 
the sport, telling how, 
where and when to get the 
finest specimens. Chap¬ 
ters on the camp, equip¬ 
ment, etc., are particular¬ 
ly valuable. 
“Out of Doors” enables 
the novice to enjoy a 
thoroughly satisfying so¬ 
journ in the open. The 
routine of outdoor life in 
all its phases is clearly 
and thoroughly explained. 
The book is crowded with 
practical advice on what 
to wear, how to cook, what 
to eat, how to pitch a 
tent, make a bed, make a 
fire, handle a canoe, how 
to fish,' etc. It also tells 
how women can get the 
most comfort and pleasure 
from camp life. 
Aside from their great 
value to the sportsman 
and camper, these books 
make delightfully inter¬ 
esting reading for every¬ 
body.

of best quality io-ounce khaki duck. Be¬ 
fore you go any further, paraffine this 
well; then cut it out to the exact size of 
diagram. 
Fold up the bottom EFHG at EF, turn 
up the two side flanges CKLE and DK - 
L”F and sew HF to FL”, K’D to DB, GE 
to EL, and KC to AC. Use No. 8 black 
thread and a sailor’s needle; sew by hand 
using stitches V2 of an inch apart. Now 
get a few yards of khaki tape % of an 
inch wide and sew this tape all along the 
edges, this time using stitches x k of an 
inch apart. You needn’t get scared as to 
the time it will take to do this hand-sew¬ 
ing; if you’re at all handy with a needle 
and thread it can be done in 3° minutes. 
At a point 17 inches from one end of 
the tape, sew a piece about an inch long. 
Cut the edges of the tape as in diagram 
to prevent it from fraying. The three 
tapes are used instead of the commonly 
used strap and buckle, because they pre¬ 
vent anything from possibly falling out of 
the bag. The tapes go around the bag and 
are tied with knots. 
Now for the strap that goes with it. 
Get a leather book strap about % of an 
inch wide and 40 inches long. Cut off 
one piece about 17 inches long; the other 
end (the 23 inch end) should have the 
buckle on. On either side of the bag at 
XX (see diagram) sew the end of these 
straps with strong beeswaxed thread, us¬ 
ing an awl with which to puncture holes in 
the leather. If you have any copper rivets 
and know how to clinch them on, put one 
in each strap where the sewing is. 
Your ditty bag is now complete. On 
the front of the bag EFHG, sew in a 
pocket to hold your small notebook (what 
true woodsman doesn’t carry one?). And 
don’t forget, brother campers, carry your 
ditty bag always filled (matches, emergen¬ 
cy food, fish hooks, needles, thread, grom¬ 
mets, medicines, etc.). Finally, carry your 
ditty bag slung over the right shoulder, 
the bag well under the left armpit. 
SALT AND PEPPER IN CAMP. 
Forest and Stream was of the opinion 
that everything possible under the sun had 
been put to use for the carrying of salt 
and pepper to camp, but “Pious Jeems, Jr,” 
has a new one. He writes us, not in strict 
confidence, but semi so, that he has found 
his wife’s large talcum cans ideal for the 
purpose. He first catches his can—partic¬ 
ulars unfurnished—pries the narrow dust¬ 
ing top off it, loads the can with salt, mixed 
with a little flour or starch to keep the salt 
dry, then works the top back on again, and 
lo and behold! he has a salt shaker that 
will hold anything from a quart down, and 
one that will keep its contents* from spilling 
over and through the food that P. J., Jr., 
finds it necessary to carry into the woods 
for his subsistence and wellbeing. Same 
recipe for pepper, in a smaller can. 
Hounds, Hounds, Hounds 
Why not a well bred and broke coon, fox 
or rabbit hound broke to gun and field. Fox, 
coon and rabbit hound pups, from the best 
of blood and broke stock, _$S.OO each. Buy 
your dog now and know him when the sea¬ 
son opens. Stamp for reply and photos.
