AMERICAN 
GAME BIRD 
SHOOTING 
By George Bird Grinnell 
This large and profusely illustrated 
volume covers the whole field of upland 
shooting in America. It deals with the 
birds followed hy the upland shooter with 
dog and gun, and gives practically every¬ 
thing that is known about the woodcock, 
the snipe, all the North American quail, 
grouse and wild turkeys. This is its 
scheme: 
Part 1_life histories of upland game 
birds; many portraits. 
and also 
Part II—Upland shooting, 
guns, loads, dogs, clothing. 
Part III—Shooting of the future, 
mixed grouse, quail, etc. 
There are life-like colored plates of 
the ruffed grouse and quail, and 48 other 
full-page plates, with many line cuts in 
the text. 
The book is really the last word on 
upland shooting, and this is what some 
of the authorities think of it: 
"It is, I think, a model of woat such 
a hook should be—hut so seldom is. it 
is indeed, much more than a treatise on 
field sports, for it furnishes such full and 
excellent life histories of the birds of 
which it treats that it should find a place 
in every library devoted to pure ornith¬ 
ology. "—William Brewster. Cambridge. 
very complete monograph for sports¬ 
men and naturalists . . . with aucedotes. 
of his own and others . . . The book will 
be enjoyed not only by sportsmen, but by 
the general reader.”—Sun. New York. 
**An important, thoroughly reliable and 
well written book; a work that will be 
read with interest and pleasure by sports¬ 
men The work is the first complete one 
of its kind."—Boston Globe . 
"This volume is especially welcome—a 
treat to every man who loves to tramp the 
uplands with dog and gun."—Inter-Ocean, 
Chicago. 
This hook is a companion volume to 
American Duck Shooting, and the two 
cover practically the whole subject of 
field shooting with the shotgun in North 
America.

They are for sensible men who 
respect their feet and insist on 
clothing them properly under all 
conditions. 
Scientific construction on the fa¬ 
mous Munson foot-form lasts—as 
required for U. S. army men—plus 
the use of top-grade leathers and 
fittings, gives Herman Shoes the

The Amateur Stakes 
O NE of the features of the club’s trials 
are the amateur stakes in which the 
dogs are handled by their owners or 
their friends, professional handlers not 
being permitted to compete. This stake 
was won by Eldorado, who then went on 
and won the open all age stake. In the 
amateur event he was handled by J. E. 
Ray, in the open all age by J. M. Avent. 
Eldorado is a dog that knows all the ways 
of the prairie chicken and his keen nose 
and sense of location enables him to han¬ 
dle his birds with consummate wisdom 
He is a game puppy that would delight the 
heart of any sportsman who loves to shooi 
and as he ages will enter the field tria 
arena a dangerous competitor. He is 
owned by Fred Hamilton, of Omaha, Ne 
braska, a practical sportsman, who ha: 
been a patron of field trials for many year 
and one of the best posted men in th 
country on everything pertaining to neb 
shooting and field trials. 
To bring together for competition ove 
one hundred dogs from all over the Unit 
ed States and to see that they are correcl 
ly entered, their pedigrees properly cert: 
fied to, and to handle the competition da 
after day for a week or more, is no sma 
task. Dr. T. Benton King, Secretary c 
the All-American Field Trial Club, hi 
demonstrated repeatedly what he was c; 
pable of doing along these lines, and gre: 
credit is due to him and Mr. H. F. Ee 
lows, president of the club, for the at 
mirable manner in which the trials we: 
conducted. They have earned the coni 
dence in which they are held by the fiel 
trial world.

CONDITIONING DOGS 
T HE opening of the shooting season 
at hand and sportsmen are particular 
warned that good field work can be e: 
pected only from dogs that are housed 
sweet, clean kennels where there is an u 
failing supply of fresh air uncontaminab! 
by vile smells or disagreeable odoi 
Their rations should be carefully reg 
lated and in preparing for the hunti: 
season it is well to accustom the dogs f 
several weeks to sound food like Sprat ■ 
dog cakes, reinforced with fresh meat 
a moderate allowance of good milk. Den! 
pepsinated condition pill three times a d;, 
both before the season and while the do: 
are being worked, will go a long way J 
keeping them in good condition. Many i 
the famous field trial handlers who cob 
pete in the big events all over the count? 
use these pills to improve the scenti 
powers of their dogs. They are mistaki 
in their belief that this remedy stimula- 
the powers of scent, for there is nothn 
known to medical science that will do j 
The condition pills simply tone up If 
stomach and a dog with a sweet, healb 
stomach can use his nose to advantage.
