The Reel 
That Experts Use 
Among professional anglers 
—men who know and want 
the best —the 
Takapart 
Bait Casting Reel 
is regarded as America’s highest stand¬ 
ard in fishing reels—supreme in light¬ 
ness, strength and mechanical perfec¬ 
tion. _ . 
More Field and Stream Contest Prizes 
have been won with the use of Meis- 
selbach Reels than with any other make. 
Ask your tackle dealer to show you 
the “Takapart” Reel, $5.50 and “Tn- 
part” Reel, little brother of the “Taka¬

Joe Welsh 
Leader 
It has no Knots 
nor Splices 
and Can. 
The Joe Welsh one-piece leadcr 
comes in five sizes, from a silk-gut 
thread of 4 pounds capacity, to the 
No. 1 size, guaranteed to stand a 
strain of 30 pounds. An eastern 
sportsman soaked a No. 2 size leader 
(15-lb. test) 48 hours, and applied a 
strain of 18 pounds without breaking 
it. Others write fish struck lures on 
this leader when refusing the same 
lures on ordinary leaders. It .casts/ 
no reflected light. Its strength and 
invisibility were praised last season 
from Alaska to Florida. Thousands 
sold and not one complaint. Leader 
is unaffected by climate or salt water.

gans occur in each and every worm. In 
each individual you will find paired ovaries 
and oviducts as well as paired testes and 
their vas deferentia. Self-fertilization 
does not take place, but the spermatozoa 
are transferred from one worm to another 
during a process called copulation, and 
stored in special internal sacks. This is 
the period when one finds the two worms 
joined together by means of two bandlike 
strips. These strips secrete a cocoon about 
the individual worms and later, as they 
work their way backwards out of the 
cocoons, the eggs are first deposited within 
the cocoon and later joined by the foreign 
spermatozoa at a point nearer the head 
in the region of the special internal sacks 
mentioned above. Thus fertilization takes 
place in the cocoon and self-fertilization is 
avoided. The young develop for a time in 
the cocoon, then find their way out into 
the surrounding earth and begin the active 
life of an earthworm. 
No, Brother G., don’t worry about males 
and females. You’ll get “half males and 
half females,” ’tis true—you can’t do 
otherwise. Follow the good advice con¬ 
cerning the making of the box for the 
ranch and as to the care of the worms— 
but let Robert tell the “females” from the 
“males” by the way they wiggle.

JUST FOREST -“STREAM FOLKS 
AT THE SIGN OF THE EYE 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
For between thirty and forty years I 
have been a continuous reader or Forest 
and Stream, if lately an infrequent cor¬ 
respondent. Were I asked what one fea¬ 
ture has in these years to my mind stood 
out as distinctive of Forest and Stream — 
what one constant link connects the past 
with the present in the makeup of good 
old Charles Hallock’s creation—-I should 
answer: “The advertisement showing two 
artificial eyes and the wording: ‘J. Kan- 
nofsky, Practical Glass Blower.’ ” Should 
I on some desert pick up a scrap of wind- 
tossed paper with the inscription, “J. Kan¬ 
nofsky,” I should exclaim, “Forest and 
Stream!” and employ my energies in at¬ 
tempting to overtake the scudding number 
whence the fragment was rent. 
Perhaps in days of youthful ornithologi¬ 
cal and zoological activities I purchased 
glass eyes of J. Kannofsky. Whether or 
not this is so I cannot now say, but if J. 
Kannofsky supplied me with these arti¬ 
cles, I have no doubt that they were good 
glass eyes and that they are performing 
their function as well to-day as when in¬ 
serted in skin of goshawk and ermine. 
It may well be that owing to its unin¬ 
terrupted appearance I have been deceived 
in my reckoning of the length of time 
that this advertisement has been a charac¬ 
teristic of Forest and Stream. In any 
event, it has been for a sufficient time to 
have become to me a salient part of the 
paper. 
So old comrade, J. Kannofsky, Practical 
Glass Blower, at the sign of the Two 
Glass Eyes:— How! Tamarack. 
APPRECIATES DR. GOVE’S ARTICLES 
Editor Forest and Stream : 
I am enclosing herewith a money-order for 
$1.50,for one year’s subscription to your pub¬ 
lication. I have been a fairly regular pur¬ 
chaser of Forest and Stream on the news 
stands, but I am sending you my subscrip¬ 
tion as a direct result of learning that Dr. 
Harry Gove has been placed on your staff 
and will handle the angling department of 
Forest and Stream. 
Yon are to be congratulated upon secur¬ 
ing Dr. Gove’s services, and as soon as 
this fact becomes known among anglers, 
I am very sure that it will materially in¬ 
crease your subscription list. Why? I 
believe, without fear of contradiction, that 
Dr. Gove can tie the finest trout flies of any 
man in America, and I know personally 
that he can teach other anglers how to do 
it too. His flies are absolutely the best I 
ever saw and his articles on fly fishing and 
tying, gems indeed. 
I understand you intend to revive your 
question and answer department for the 
benefit of angling subscribers and readers. 
This will be a wonderful help to anglers. 
Please do not misunderstand this letter. 
I do not know Dr. Gove personally, but if 
all anglers could take one look at some of 
his flies or have the privilege of reading 
some of his most excellent articles on 
angling, they would readily understand my 
appreciation of his work. 
Start my subscription at once, and please 
be sure and don’t miss a number. 
Duluth, Minn. H. H. Campbell. 
[The next article in Dr. Gove’s series on 
the artificial fly will appear in Forest and 
Stream for August.] 
TO BUILD A LOG CABIN CAMP 
Editor Forest and Stream : 
Will you kindly tell me if you are able 
to get me the plan or plans on how to 
build a log cabin, with fire-place, etc.? 
Also I would like to know Avhere I can 
get a map of the Virginia wilderness, or a 
good map-book for travelers or campers. 
Would you let me know the best place for 
camping, a thickly wooded place where 
there is plenty of game, near a lake or 
water of some kind in the Virginia wilder¬ 
ness, near habitation or railway. Is it 
against the law to build a cabin in the Vir¬ 
ginia wilderness ? I also want to get a copy 
of the game laws, and a good book on 
camping and woodcraft. Paul B. Dowd.
