roomy box with chips and stones to hide under at the bottom;
otherwise, they will kill and eat each other.

THE GRASSHOPPER

is nearly as good as the cricket, and it is easily captured and kept.
They will live for some time in a box filled with green grass.
FROGS,

if not too large, are a standard bait for pike, salmon, pickerel, and
bass. Frogs are best caught with a net, but they will take a small
hook baited with a bit of red flannel, or they will bite without the
hook. Be careful in fastening the frog to your hook not to injure it
so that it cannot swim. The hook through the web of the hind feet, or
through the skin of the back, is, I think, the best way.

"LIVE" MINNOW

are easily procured, and, on the whole, they make the most reliable
bait. A small, fine-meshed net, fashioned like a sieve and handled by
two, is one of the best means of collecting minnows. They should be
kept in a bucket and taken out with a scoop made of meshed wire, and
the water should be frequently changed.

CRAWFISH,

to be found under stones in many shallow brooks, make a good bait.
Keep them in a box filled with wet moss or aquatic plants.

By dead bait is meant bits of pork, fresh beef, or even other fish cut
