1 Treat every gun with the respect due a loaded gun.
This is the first rule of gun safety.
2
Guns carried into camp or home, or when otherwise
not in use, must always be unloaded, and taken down or
have actions open; guns always should be carried in cases
to the shooting area.

time and care given these trees
to get them started.
3 Always be sure barrel and action are clear of obstruc­
tions, and that you have only ammunition of the proper size
for the gun you are carrying. Remove oil and grease from
chamber before firing.

An article from the Nutrition
Council of American Feed Manu­
facturers association recently
crossed our desk. This article
warned that some feed salesmen
exploit the supplement field to
the detriment of the feed industry
and livestock and milk producers.
They advised caution when
sales promotion tactics claimed
that special mixtures of minerals
and vitamins would prevent or
cure brucellosis and mastitis; that
they will improve herd health,
reproduction capacity, or increase

production.
Supplements
may be claimed to contain use­
ful bacterial cultures to stimulate
rumen functions.
The council stated that such
claims have little or no basis m
fact.
4
Always carry your gun so that you can control the di­
rection of the muzzle, even if you stumble; keep the safety
on until you are ready to shoot.
5
Be sure of your target before you pull the trigger;
know the identifying features of the game you intend to
hunt.
6
Never point a gun at anything you do not want to
shoot; avoid all horseplay while handling a gun.
7
••
*
Unattended guns should be unloaded; guns and am-
munition should be stored separately beyond reach of chil­
dren and careless adults.
8
Never climb a tree or fence or jump a ditch with a
loaded gun; never pull a gun toward you by the muzzle.

Never shoot a bullet at a flat, hard surface or the sur­
face of water; when at target practice, be sure your back­
