D W Kolk. a ranger in MiCur
tam County . Oklali wiia. tells u> of'
one farmer. unique method of .a: ?
guarding hus quail during :!w list
hunting settson "At th ? b-^inn.ng
of tlie season." Kolb informs "this
farmer simply lured all the quai'
on his farm :nto a trap. kep*. them i
well hidden anil well fed diiin^; 'a
shooting season. granted entrance
t? all who desired to hun on ir. -
land, and when th!- season cl
turned the well fattened birds out
ui>on his broad acres once more'"
'??? i tlook ? Save a Life
ft is a hard matter to release a
full so skillfully that it will not die
later once the tender, slimy outer
covering ;s injured the fish dies,
lie may look fruity as a col', when
you let hun go ? but an unbeliev
ably high percentage of the fish you
handle die later
Cut your snel! or leader and re- j
lease the fish with hook in him. You
only lose a hook which can be bought
for ;? nickle a dozen, and two or three (
inches of line. Die hook will gradu
ally distintergrau inside the fish I
with no ill effects.
Swallow-Proof Catfish Hook
Anything that would keep an old
cat from swallowing a hook so deep
you have to tussle half an hour to get
it out would be a boom to civilizat
ion'" That's the way most Southern
fishermen feel. Make a guard wire
I.oop a piece if stiff wire through the
<ye of your .10 * T*ist the wire
around the hook shank and bring
both ends out straight to the sides.
If a cat is big enough to swallow 'Aire
and all. he'd be old and tough and no
one would believe he was 'hat b.a j
anyway!

Fish Have Lubrication Too
While we don't know whether fish
change oil" every thousand miles,
we do know that, in order to enable
fish to slide easily along in the
water, its body is covered with a
l.ir.y mucus which Is being con
1 r . ' y poured ou :n large quanti
, 'yy .? special glands situated in
he epidermis. This mucus makes
:ie tody of the fLsh slippery and also
minimizes friction with the sur
rounding water.
A Flying Squirrel?
There is no such thing as a flying
quirrel. They can glide downward,
but can't rise. With the exception
of bats, no North American marmmal
capable of sustained flight. In the
quirrel that glides there is an exten
sion of skin on both sides of its body
extending from the front to the hind
feet. When it leaps with is feet spread
ou, this membrane of skin is extend
ed. forming a flat surface which en
ables it to glide diagonally dowvi
I ward from one linmb to another.
