SAXOPHONE 
This book tells you when to use Sax¬ 
ophone—singly, in quartettes, in sex-W

from cello parts in orchestra and many 
other things you would like to know. 
The Buescher Saxophone is the easiest, 
of all wind instruments to play. With' 
the aid of the first three lessons, which 
are sent free (upon request) with each new Saxophone, 
the scale can be mastered in an hour; in a few weeks 
you can be playing popular music. The Saxophone is 
the most popular instrument for Home Entertainment,

for the larger shot, and 30 in. for the 
smaller. The guns used were cheaper 
grade double Parkers and Winchester 
repeaters, each costing less than $40 
before the war. These were selected 
because of their propensities to shoot 
certain sizes of shot evenly and with 
regularity. High grade guns might 
give slightly better patterns, but 
were purposely avoided, the object of 
this paper being to demonstrate that 
ordinary 16 ga. guns will answer every 
purpose. Super X shells were shot in 
the larger sizes, because they contained 
maximum shot loads and are something 
new. In smaller size shot the writer 
believes 7-8 to 1 oz. sufficient, and for 
this reason such were selected. 
Pattern No. 1 shot from Parker gun 
3-4 choke. This gave 72% of the pel¬ 
lets, No. 4 shot, with excellent dis¬ 
tribution, and could be relied on to kill 
single duck up to 50 yards. It would 
make about the same pattern in a 42 
in. circle at 50 yards as here shown in 
24 in. at 35 yards. 
Pattern No. 2 shot from Winchester 
modified Super X load lVs oz. No. 6 
shot, 60%, bulk of pattern a little low, 
fault in holding. A good duck load 
over decoys not so even as No. 1. 
Pattern No. 3, Parker gun, modified, 
Super X load, lVs oz. or No. 7% 68% 
in 24 in. circle at 35 yds. A trifle 
thin in S W cor., but in all a well dis¬ 
tributed load. For all upland game, 
for small duck over decoys and for the 
trap, this load ought to please the most 
exacting. This sixe TV 2 have all the 
energy necessary to kill duck up to 40 
yards. 
Pattern No. 4, shot from the left 
barrel of same gun as No. 3, full choke. 
One and one-eighth oz. No. 6 Super X 
load, 24 in. 35 yds., 88%, good for 
ducks up to 50 or 60 yards on a quiet 
day. All shot but 3 pellets were well 
within a 30 in. circle. A very close 
pattern. 
Pattern No. 5, shot from Winchester 
modified, lVs oz. No. 9 shot transferred 
to Super X shell to see how it would 
work. My idea of a perfect quail load, 
6914% in 30 in. at 25 yards. Good for 
quail up to 40 yards. Note even dis¬ 
tribution of pellets in each quarter of 
the circle. 
Pattern No. 6, imp. cyl. Parker gun, 
the writers load for snipe, hand loaded, 
2% dr. duPont, 15-16 oz. No. 10s, 30 
in. circle at 25 yards. Sixty-six per 
cent., good for snipe 35 yards or over. 
If our American g’unmakers would 
build us light weight 12s, say 614 to 
614 lbs. with 29 to 30 in. bbls., and en¬ 
courage their use, undoubtedly such 
would come very close to an all round 
gun, but we can’t get such in this 
country unless willing to accept 26 in. 
bbls., and these, made on standard 
frames, are generally muzzle light and 
out of balance; besides, many of us have [ 
merless shotgun, accu¬ 
rate and durable.

ACCURACY. Shotgun or rifle — a 
Stevens firearm is accurate. When a 
Stevens barrel is bored or drilled, the 
final reaming cuts away less than one 
half of a thousandth of an inch. 
For rifling, Stevens uses a special 
process, slow scraping system removing 
less than the thirtieth part of a 
thousandth of an inch with each 
pass of the rifling cutter. 
A slow method—but when finished a 
Stevens barrel is accurate. 
ENDURANCE. And a Stevens will 
continue to shoot true. 
Take a Stevens double-barrel shot¬ 
gun—each barrel and its lug are of one 
piece—solid steel. Take a Stevens single 
barrel shotgun—the fore-end exerts a 
pressure which prevents the barrel from 
loosening on the hinge-joint. These 
guns will never shoot loose.

PRICE. Remember this: when you buy 
a Stevens you get the last word in accu¬ 
racy; you get a gun that will last a 
lifetime; and you get a gun at 
an exceptionally low price. You 
economize three ways on a 
Stevens.
