FOREST AND STREAM 
for fishing for pickerel. If you are not a 
farmer’s boy you will not be likely to use 
the long cane pole mentioned above. A 
bait rod eight or nine feet will do just as 
well, letting out about as much line as 
your rod is long. In slow trolling the 
bait casting rod can be used to good ad¬ 
vantage, while most any kind of a rod is 
suitable or good enough for sti!l fishing. 
One needs no leader. Attach the line to 
the snelled hook, which should be about 
a 2-0 sproat. There is no particular need 
of fine tackle for pickerel fishing, how¬ 
ever it is well to remember the lighter 
the tackle, the more sport there is. 
It is well to well prepared as to cloth¬ 
ing as fishing in the fall and winter 
months is cold work and it is better to 
wear a little too much than not enough 
and don’t forget that bottle of hot coffee, 
as it will be worth its weight in gold and 
do the trick much better than a bottle of 
another kind of liquid I could mention 
frequently known to the fishing fraterni¬ 
ty as—“Bait.”

DOGS FOR COYOTE AND WOLF 
HUNTING. 
I want to build up a pack of dogs for 
hunting wolves and coyotes. I have used 
greyhounds and while they are all right 
in the open they lose the trail in a rough 
country, are not good starters, and are 
useless in the spring for locating dens. 
J. C. Johnston, Sheridan, Wyo. 
Answer: You will need a mixed pack 
consisting of three or four good fox 
hounds, the same number or more of well 
bred greyhounds and an Airedale or two. 
The fox hounds will work by scent and 
in a rough country will frequently pick 
up a trail and follow it to a den or until 
the wolves are started; the greyhounds 
will then take up the running. If they 
lose the trail the fox hounds will fre¬ 
quently come up and pick it up again. 
The Airedales are good for general hus¬ 
tling around and fighting. The simplest 
way to break in young hounds, ten or 
twelve months old, is to start them with 
old experienced dogs and let them learn 
from them.—Ed.]

CORD VIRUS 
Safety Razor Blade 
does tke work 
When magnified, the cutting edge of a razor blade looks like 
a saw. After shaving, no matter how well you wipe the 
blade, moisture still clings between the microscopic teeth. 
As a consequence, very tiny particles of rust form and the blade becomes 
dull and 1 pulls”. 
Put 3-in-One on your blade befo r e and after shaving. Then rust can’t 
oft 
\ 
w 
possibly form. A little 3-in-One on your strop keeps it soft and 
makes the razor cling” when stropping. 
Try it and see. Your blades will last twice as long and shave 
cleaner. Send for our booklet **A Razor Saver” and 
FREE generous sample of 3-in-One Oil.
