The law frowns on you letting him run at large in the city and the game laws say you may not let him run in the vicinity of deer, which is almost anywhere in this district. Lons walks, which of course are also good for you, is awhout the only way he can get any exercise, outside of eating. With the various types of bird dogs the problem is almost as bad. For one thing, short walks won‘t keep fat off them and these breeds seem to fatten to and even greater extent than do the hounds. Yet if you take them with you, every time you go for a walk, let them go along if you are crow hunting and generally do what you can to keep their weight down, then your effort will pay off in the fan. | .

We hope all the casualties will be among the fish, but each year after these seasons open, drowning accidents increase. After letting things settle down again, we gave a counle ‘more calls and sonâ€"ofâ€"aâ€"gun if a single didn‘t come sifting in. He was close and he was easy and I neatlvy missed him with the first two shots. The only reason I didn‘t miss him with the third was because I was using some old shells that had been wet and the second one failed to eject all the way. My son said something to the effect that he thougcht I had missed. The dog ijust stared at me. Leaving the cabin to walk back to the car. I pnartially reinstated myself with them by making one dowble and a gingle, enough that at least they took me back in the fold I had almost forgotten how much fun crow shooting could be, 1 had done so little of it in the past season. Now when the weather moderates so the shot doesn‘t develop sweat petting to its targel. T‘ll try it again. again.

We mucked around the cabin and the lake for a while. Buckshot was all for starting a fire in the wood stove and cooking a can of beans left over from a former trin. To avoid any such nonâ€" sence.

There was no evidence there were any birds around and SCORCHING TEMPERATURES kept many fishermen lolling in the shade of trees this past weekend. or staying at home where they were close to the refrigerator. They tell us there were ten times as many cold botties ef refreshment caught as there wore fish, ; * This however, could be the beginning of some pretty fancy fishing weather. Warm weather is needed before many of the larger fish become active. Following a spell of high temperatures, the fish often go on a feeding spree when a cool spell. develops.
