to the fraction of an ounce 
Balance? A Savage is hung right to the 
fraction of an ounce. Light enough to 
carry all day, yet steady as a rock 
when you’ve got to shoot fast. 
It’s rugged, too. Parts few and 
simple—you can drag a Savage through 
the roughest country — it’s always 
ready when you are. 
Shotgun or rifle—it’s all the same. 
Take the Savage repeating shotgun. 
Sturdy and accurate, hammerless solid 
breech, solid top, side ejection, moving 
parts enclosed. This gun wears. 
There’s a Savage for every kind 
of American game 
.22 Hi-power rifle. Ideal for small 
and medium game—from woodchucks 
to wolves. Accurate at long and un¬ 
certain ranges. 
.30-30. A standard and ever-dependa- 
ble rifle for deer and similar game at 
moderate ranges. Used by many 
.303. The hard-hitting, deadly accu¬ 
rate old .303—famous for 20 years. 
Ideal for deer, caribou and black bear. 
Unsurpassed for timbered country. 
.250-3000. An all-around rifle. Ter¬ 
rific speed and low trajectory make it 
the gun for mountain sheep, goats 
and other game at extreme ranges. 
Excellent for deer. 
.300. Delivers a smashing blow. 
Powerful enough for the biggest game. 
Splendid for moose and elk. 
And the Savage .22s—the Sporter — 
the new bolt-action repeating .22—the 
gilt-edge accuracy of the finest target 
rifle built into a sporting model. Or the 
slide-action, Model ’14—every feature 
originally and distinctively Savage— 
sturdy and accurate.

They may also be used m any water, 
swift or slow, if the bait is cast and 
kept moving by manipulation of the rod 
and line, or by a swivel spoon. 
Lamprey eels, which were at one 
time plentiful in the mud banks in the 
Susquehanna River, at the mouths of 
small tributaries, were considered the 
best bait for trolling for walled-eyed 
pike (“Susquehanna Salmon”), and 
other fish, but since the river was 
dammed in several places, they appear 
to be extinct around Harrisburg. 
It is said on good authority by river- 
men that the tails of water snakes cut 
olf, and geared up like lampreys on' a 
tandem hook, make a good substitute, 
and are said to give good results. 
A piece of raw fat bacon or ham, cut 
to resemble the shape of a lamprey, is 
very effective in trolling for bass, pike- 
perch and pickerel. 
The larvae or grubs of wood-boring 
insects from dead trees or logs are best 
for fall fish. Strike as soon as they 
bite. The best place to fish for them 
is at the curls of an eddy at the edge 
of a deep hole. 
THE GENERAL PUR- 
POSE SHOTGUN 
(Continued from page 499) 
by the undersigned, cannot be relied 
upon. 
Nor is the 16 ga. deficient at the 
traps, though seldom used. Years 
back, Dr. Carver, perhaps the best all 
around shot the world has ever known, 
used for his exhibitions at a time when 
his shooting was at its best, a 6 lb. 16 
ga. Later on, when shot charges be¬ 
came practically unlimited, the Doctor 
was forced to take up a gun of suffi¬ 
cient gauge to handle maximum shot 
loads; but with his featherweight 16 
he met and defeated scores of live bird 
shooters; and he abandoned this gauge 
only to be on an equal footing with 
other shooters using 144 oz. shot in 
pigeon matches. 
The most generally accepted trap 
load for the 12 ga. is 3 dr. 1-1.4 No. 
7 44 shot. This gives about 375 pellets 
to the load, with a vel. of 851 f. s.—a 
very slow load. The 16 ga. factory 
load of 2-3.4 dr. 1 oz. No. 8 gives 408 
pellets to load, with a vel. 878 f. s. and 
244 x 1 No. 8 gives vel. 849 f. s. And 
now that we can obtain Super X shells 
loaded with a full 144 oz. No. 744 in 
this gauge, 376 pellets to the load, we 
have a list of loads to select from that 
will be found to meet all reasonable de¬ 
mands for clay bird shooting. The in¬ 
creased velocity of the 16 ga. load, using 
8s, gives the same striking force 
(energy) as the 744 in the slower 12 
ga. load, so nothing is lost in using the 
smaller size. In the Super X loads
