PRISM BINOCULARS 
A Real Aid In Hunting 
The “Ideal” Dialyt 6x, 36 furnishes 48% better 
illumination and 8% larger field of vision than 
the 6 power glasses of other standard makes, 
giving it pre-eminence as an all around day and 
night glass. 
By its use you gain a tremendous advantage 
over those with ordinary binoculars, inasmuch as 
you can better penetrate shadows and can discern 
game in spite of protective coloration. 
“Dialyt” binoculars are also distinguished for 
their convenient shape and sturdy construction, 
coupled with light weight. They are made in 
a variety of models to suit all requirements, and 
we solicit your inquiries.

all proportion to the winter range; this 
is not a very important factor as re¬ 
gards the future status of the bird, 
inasmuch as there are not sufficient 
numbers of them to occasion crowded 
conditions in their winter home. v 
It is an excellent commentary on our 
federal and various state governments, 
our sporting public and conservation¬ 
ists that the majority of our wild fowl 
have increased noticeably within the 
past five years, but much still remains 
to be accomplished as regards the re¬ 
striction of seasons, bag limits and 
various local regulations that can best 
be learned from the careful and scien¬ 
tific study of the areas occupied by the 
various species during the breeding 
period as well as during the winter and 
by the routes and areas covered during < 
the migratory seasons. 
A FOX HUNTER IN THE 
CATSKILLS 
Dear Forest and Stream: 
J^IP VAN WINKLE chose one of the 
Catskill Mountains on which to 
sleep for twenty years, if we are to be¬ 
lieve the story about Rip—and I can 
well understand Rip’s love for those 
mountains. 
My home is near the little town of 
Altamount—south and west of Albany, 
N. Y. We live almost in the shadow 
of one of the Catskill Mountains, which 
is a wonderful game refuge, and never 
a night but that several red foxes roam 
over our mountain; so it was really 
a matter of following the line of least 
resistance for me, born with the call 
of the wild within me, to become a fox 
hunter, and perhaps a description of 
one of our fox hunts will best tell 
your readers how we use Reynard for 
sport in this particular part of the 
Empire State. On the morning of 
December 15th, in the year of our Lord 
1922—the day of the week being Fri- i,< 
day—I got up at 4:30, finished the 
chores, ate breakfast, and with my dog 
and gun was off for the mountains at 
7 o’clock. Three inches of snow had 
fallen during the night, so it was an 
ideal morning for trailing, and pretty 
soon we picked up a trail made only a 
few hours before, and away went our 
dogs, and it wasn’t long before their 
tune changed and we knew their fox 
was up and doing, but for some un¬ 
known reason this fox only ran an 
hour before holing in the rocks. It 
took about a half hour for the dogs to 
get another going, and this one ran too 
near one of our boys named Smith, 
who fired at it at about 40 yards and 
rolled the fox over before he had run 
three-quarters of a mile. Just about
