tion by a wise foresight of our fore- 
fathers, only to be bartered and sold for 
a few dollars because some one had 
influence enough to change the policy of 
the state in regard to the forest land. 
The state sold the pulp stumpage for 
$5.10 a cord, and the hardwood for a 
lump sum. From the area to be flooded, 
already about 27,000 cords of pulp have 
been removed and the estimates are 
that there will be enough taken off this 
year (which finishes the cutting) to 
bring the total up over 40,000 cords. 
The money derived from the sale of 
this land and stumpage is supposed to 
go into the State Treasury. It would 
be interesting to know what percentage 
of it will be wasted in administration 
and expense in looking after the work 
in progress. 
If at any time you or any member of 
your valuable magazine are up in this 
section of the state I would like.to ar- 
range to take a trip with you through 
this Beaver River section and up on the 
Brandreth Park. What might be seen 
on a trip of this kind would be of great 
interest to readers of FOREST AND 
STREAM.

Hookless Bullheading 
DEAR Forest & STREAM: 
M®: LINCOLN’S article in your 
July number has revived memor- 
ies of still moonlight nights when I 
have fished for bullheads, till twelve 
and one o’clock in the morning. I 
sympathize with the boy ‘and the boys 
of larger growth,’ for a man is not a 
man who does not continue at times to 
be a boy, who come in contact with the 
‘horns’ and ‘spine’. Here is my way of 
catching bullheads: 
Take a piece of pork with the rind 
on, a little less than the thickness and 
length of a man’s thumb. Tie a stout 
line right in the middle of the piece of 
pork. Adda sinker. If in a boat throw 
out your line after testing the length 
to the bottom. Let the pork rest on the 
bottom. When you feel a pull give him 
an inch, when you feel the second pull 
give him two inches, the bullhead is 
now moving. When you feel the third 
pull draw in the line gently, reaching 
out one arm to prevent the line touch- 
ing the boat, and as the bullhead reaches 
the surface carefully lift him over the 
gunwale so he will not touch the side 
of the boat. Hold him over the center 
of the boat, wiggle your line and the 
piece of pork will slip out of his gullet 
and the fish will drop to the bottom of 
the boat. A knock on the head with 
a stout stick or a convenient hammer 
will quiet him. Throw your line in 
again and go to it. One piece of bait 
will generally last a whole evening. 
You do not have to touch a fish until 
you are ready to pull for home.

Further Bird Dog Stunts 
DEAR FOREST AND STREAM: 
ONCERNING Bird Dog Stunts by 
Seneca: 
The interesting performances of bird 
dogs recall to my mind some unusual 
work of a setter I owned some 25 years 
ago when practicing medicine in Indi- 
ana, when birds were plentiful. We 
were hunting on low ground with rather 
tall marshy grass. On the covey rise, 
I killed with my first barrel and scored 
a clean miss with my left one, a quarter- 
ing bird. Evidently with my first bar- 
rel I broke the wing of a second bird, 
which dropped to the tall grass. The 
dog retrieved the dead bird and started 
to bring it in, when the wing-broken 
bird moved in the grass directly in 
front. 
With the dead bird in his mouth she 
placed her fore paw on the wounded 
bird and held it and at the same in- 
stant scented or saw another bird about 
6 feet away and came to a point in the 
above position. I walked in, flushed, 
and killed the third bird, standing 
within a foot of her nose. After tak- 
ing the dead bird from his mouth, she 
picked up the wounded bird from under 
her paw. I took this second bird and 
she retrieved the third. 
_I have a photo taken by myself (I 
think I still have it) when working 
young dogs, using the camera, in which 
is shown five dogs. One dog is hang- 
ing over a rail fence making a point 
and all the other dogs pointing or back- 
ing beautifully. I had a good print 
of it in my collection for years, but 
possibly it is now destroyed.
