Are You A Duck* Shooter? 
Do you love to stand in the bow of your skiff 
as it is pushed through the wild rice, and drop 
the ducks that get up within range; or, if you 
live by the big waters, do you enjoy sitting in 
the blind while cold winds blow and ice forms 
at the edge of the shore, watching the sky and 
waiting for something to come to your decoys? 
If you love these things, if you will bear work, 
exposure and hardship to get a shot, you need 
AMERICAN DICK SHOOTING 
By GEORGE BIRD GRINNELL s 
It gives descriptions and portraits of all the 
ducks and geese known in North America; tells 
where they are found; the various methods 
practiced in shooting them; describes the guns, 
loads, clothing, boats and dogs employed in their 
pursuit, and generally is far and away the most 
complete, useful and entertaining volume on 
the subject that has ever been published. It 
covers the whole field of North American wild¬ 
fowl shooting. 
The book is profusely illustrated. Not only 
has it ornithologically exact portraits of 58 
species of swans, geese and ducks, but it has 
eight half-tone reproductions of some of our 
best-known wild ducks from the paintings of 
the great naturalist, Audubon, a number of full- 
page sketches by iWilmot Townsend, whose draw¬ 
ings of wild-fowl are inimitable, many cuts of 
duck boats and batteries; and fifty vignettes in 
the text, which add to its beauty and its use¬ 
fulness. It is a complete, illustrated manual 
of this fascinating sport.

NEWTON RIFLES NOW 
READY FOR DELIVERY. 
J| Difficulties besetting the path of 
sJ the small arms manufacturer are 
graphically typified in the recent ex¬ 
periences of the Newton Arms Co., 
which for the past eighteen months or 
more has been completing its prep¬ 
arations for steady production of the 
Newton rifle. The company re¬ 
ceived its first tool-making machin¬ 
ery in July, 1915, and in December, 
1916, commenced actual delivery of 
machine-made rifles, which it claims 
is not an unenviable record in 
view of the slow pace to which 
all small arms makers have been 
tied down in getting their plants 
under way. The Newton Arms 
Company was formed in July, 
1914, for the purpose of importing 
Mauser rifles from Germany to 
take the Newton series of high- 
power cartridges, and selling 
them here. The business assumed 
such encouraging proportions that 
when the war interrupted impor¬ 
tations, the company determined 
to manufacture a similar type 
of rifle for its cartridges. Ef¬ 
forts to purchase completed 
parts were repeatedly blocked 
by the heavy demands on arms 
and arms-tool makers, and 
with the exception of the 
automatic screw machine 
work, and some smaller 
parts, the rifle is being 
manufactured complete 
in the company’s own 
plant at Buffalo. The 
company has set at rest 
rumors that the New¬ 
ton rifle will be made 
only on a small scale. From the first rifle, 
turned out by hand in the toolroom at a 
cost of approximately $2,000, the capacity 
of the plant has already developed to forty 
rifles a day or a thousand a month, and 
this will soon be doubled and the company 
will be able to fill all orders. 
The most comprehensive and useful 
treatise on guns, gun fitting and defects 
of vision is “Guncraft.” Read it and 
stop missing. Price $1.00; Forest and 
Stream.
