June, 191; 
Adds to Trap Shooting Joys 
N OTHING increases the pleasure of the man at the traps 
like ammunition upon which he can depend. Trap 
shooting is a beneficial pastime and is more popular 
than ever today. Americans are learning the value of hitting 
the mark. 
Peters Shells operate and shoot perfectly in shot guns of all 
standard makes. Y ou will find dependable quality in every 
Peters load. 
Peters is right at the top, and has been there for years, in the 
annual round up of winners of the season’s shooting honors. 
In 1917 the First and Second Amateur Trap Shooting Aver¬ 
ages were made with Peters, viz: 
W. H. Heer, Guthrie, Okla., broke 1997 out of 
2050, an average of .9741. 
Woolfolk Henderson of Lexington, Ky., broke 
2502 out of 2570, an average of .9735. 
Six times in the past 8 years the Highest Amateur Honors 
have been won with the © Brand. 
Before you again face the flying targets stock up with Peters 
Shells. Then you will understand why so many champions, 
past and present, “swear by” Peters. 
The best always is cheapest. 
That explains Peters Popularity.

There are many other interesting article 
in the magazine, also a very humorous on 
by Newton Newkirk, “A Week Week-en 
at Willemagassett.” My attention was al 
tracted to it by the splendid illustrations a

WHO KNOWS A CURE? 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
I am an interested subscriber to yot 
paper and I would like to know if yo 
can suggest a cure for “tail rot” in trou 
I have a large artificial pond with 
clean gravel bottom and running water yi 
all the trout that I stock it with get th 
disease which causes the tail and ofte 
the other fins to rot away. 
This disease spoils the beauty of the fisi 
as I watch them through a plate glass wii 
dow, and eventually causes death. 
I have tried salt solution and Condy 
fluid but neither seem to do any good. 
The disease does not affect any oth 
kinds of fish as there are five other vari> 
ties yet every trout is affected with it. 
I hope that you may be able to sugge 
some remedy.
