FOREST AND STREAM 
TROUT 
LORE 
By O. WARREN SMITH 
A Comprehensive and Up-to-date Work for 
any Trout Fisherman—Expert or Novice 
The reader who examined Mr. 
Smith’s manuscript for the publish¬ 
ers had an experience of forty 
years in trout-fishing. He began 
his reading with a prejudice against 
the work, based on his belief that 
there was not room for another 
book on the subject. He felt that, 
with his careful study of the sub¬ 
ject during four decades of angling, 
the book could give him nothing 
new. 
He ended with the certainty that 
he was mistaken in both respects. 
The extent and variety of the au¬ 
thor’s knowledge of the subject is 
most impressive. It would be a 
cracker-jack trout-fisherman, indeed, 
who could not gain new knowledge 
of great value through reading the 
book. 
The author, who is angling editor 
of Outdoor Life, tells the best meth¬ 
ods of using dry-fly, wet-fly, bait or 
lure. He has included everything 
the angler needs to know from togs 
for the fisherman to how to cook 
the trout in the pan.

Zane Grey has written many fine 
books, but here is the best of them all. 
He has written of wonderful horses 
before, but Wildfire outruns them all. 
He has written often of men and 
women who loved adventure and had 
their fill of it, but here in this story 
of a Centaur community the adven¬ 
tures and passions of his characters 
are as natural in the wild country in 
which they lived as the adventures 
and passions told of primitive peoples 
in fabled Greece.

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 DUCK SHOOTING 
By GEORGE BIRD GRINNELL 
It gives descriptions and portraits of all the 
ducks and geese known in North America; 
tells where they are found; the various meth¬ 
ods practiced in shooting them; describes the 
guns, loads, clothing, boats and dogs em¬ 
ployed in their pursuit, and generally is far 
and away the most complete, useful and en¬ 
tertaining 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 68 
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 Wilmot Townsend, whose 
drawings of wild-fowl are inimitable, manv 
cuts of duck boats and batteries, and fifty 
vignettes in the text, which add to its beauty 
and its usefulness. It is a complete, illustrated 
manual of this fascinating sport.
