AMERICAN 
DUCK SHOOTING 
By GEORGE BIRD GRINNELL 

No single gunner, however wide his experi- 
ence, has himself covered the whole broad field 
of duck shooting, and none knows so much about 
the sport that there is nothing left for him to 
learn. Each one may acquire a vast amount of 
novel information by reading this complete and 
most interesting book. It describes, with a por- 
trait, every species of duck, goose and swan 
known to North America; tells of the various 
methods of capturing each, the guns, ammunition, 
loads, decoys and boats used in the sport, and 
gives the best account ever published of the re- 
trieving Chesapeake Bay dog. 
About 600 pages, 58 portraits of fowl, 8 full- 
page plates, and many vignette head and tail 
pieces by Wilmot Townsend. 
Price, edition de luxe on hand made paper, 
bound in buckram, plates on India tint paper, 
each copy numbered and signed by author, $5.00. 
Price library edition, $3.50.

NURSING vs. DOSING. 
A Treatise on the Care of Dogs in Health and Disease. 
By S. T. Hammond (“Shadow’’) author of ‘“‘Training 
vs. Breaking.” 161 pages. Cloth. Price, $1. 
Mr. Hammond believes that more dogs are killed by 
injudicious doctoring than by disease, and the present 
work is a protest against the too free use of medicine 
when dogs are sick. The author has given especial at- 
tention to many of the troubles which especially afflict 
small dogs kept in the house, and likely to suffer from 
lack of exercise, and from over-feeding; and boys and 
girls owning dogs- —as well as children of larger growth— 
may profitably study and ponder this volume.

FISH AND FISHING. 
(Continued from page 756.) 
beyond most people’s’ comprehension why this 
should be, seeing that he not only knows quite 
well how to take care of himself, but that he is 
hibernating during almost all the period that it 
was suggested to leave him unprotected. 
It may not have occurred to many anglers to 
have had an opportunity of seeing bruin as a 
fisherman. The sight is an interesting one. It 
is most frequent in the fall of the year, because 
this is the time when the fish that he catches are 
less active and more thickly congregated together 
than at any other season. 
For his fishing place, bruin chooses a shallow 
spot over gravel or sand, and clear water. Often 
this is situated nial, B) small, narrow pass in some 
stream. Sometimes it is upon a spawning ground. 
Our four-footed angler squats himself down in 
the water upon his hindquarters, and awaits de- 
velopments.. The hour selected is usually just 
after the dawn or soon after sunset. He is then 
less easily observed by the fish. After sitting 
perfectly motionless for a considerable space of 
his presence in the water arouses no sus- 
picion. But woe beside the luckless trout or sal- 
mon that drifts lazily through the pool or narrow 
pass within arm’s length, so to speak, of our 
angling friend. No hoof of horse, no forefoot of 
moose, no paw of grizzly is more swift, more 
deadly certain than the blow with which the com- 
mon American black bear secures his fish. His 
ponderous paw strikes with the agility, the zrace, 
the certainty and the swiftness of an eagle. It is 
astonishing how many fish one of these animals 
can dispose of in the space of an hour. Upon 
the spawning beds of salmon he is a most de- 
structive agent, and from fishermen who discrimi- 
nate as to the seasons in which they take their 
fish, Ursus americanus deserves no _ protection 
and no quarter. 
Fish-Eating Birds. 
There should be no close season for birds that 
are injurious to fish, and least of all for those 
that are known to principally subsist upon them, 
such as eagles, ospreys, hawks,. kingfishers, all 
the loon and gull families, scoters, mergansers 
and auks. ‘One: brood of kingfishers ona river 
will devour in a season several thousand young 
salmon and trout fry. Mergansers are still worse 
and gorge themselves till incapable to fly, on all 
kinds of young fresh-water fishes and ova. Mr. 
Napoleon Comeau tells of shooting one of these 
birds that had nineteen young salmon from two 
to four inches in length in its gullet. 
It is gratifying to know that apart from a brief 
extension of the close season for bears the recom- 
mendations to give protection to birds and beasts 
destructive of our game fishes in the Province 
of Quebec were promptly turned down, either by 
the Congress which dealt directly with the recom- 
mendations of its committees, or by the Minister 
himself. E. T. D. CHAMBERS. 
‘ 
A Correction. 
West Hartrorp, Conn.—In my communication, 
printed April 2, regarding a pricked trout, the 
misprinting of “last hook” instead of “lost hook” 
completely changes the feature of the incident 
recorded. Above correction will probably be of 
value to those interested. FRANK BUCKLAND, 
Newfoundland Angling. 
In the annual report of the Department of 
Anglish and Fisheries for Newfoundland for the 
year 1905, much is said about salmon fishery. The 
Department’s policy of keeping the rivers. free 
from nets and other obstructions shows better 
results each year, in the increase in quantity and 
size of the fish, for every season now splendid 
fish from 20 to 40 pounds are sold in the local 
markets. Up to 1905 no fish caught with the fly 
in Newfoundland rivers had weighed over 36 
pounds; but last year a 40-pound fish was hooked 
in Codroy River. The number of anglers visit- 
ing Newfoundland from the United States and 
England is constantly increasing, and _ better 
hotels. are being established.
