WOODCRAFT for Boy Scouts and Others By OWEN JONES and MARCUS WOODMAN With a Message to Boy Scouts by SIR BADEN-POWELL, Founder of the Boy Scouts' Movement.

Shows how to trail wild animals; how to identify birds and beasts by their tracks, calls, etc. Tells how to forecast the weather, and in fact; treats on every phase of nature with which a Boy Scout or any woodman or lover of nature should be familiar. The authorship guarantees it's authenticity and reliability. Indispensable to "Boy Scouts" and others. Printed from large clear type on superior paper. Embellished With Over 100 Thumb Nail Bound in Cloth. Stamped with unique and appropriate designs in ink! Price, 75c Postpaid M. A. DONOHUE & CO.
