KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 



99 W. B. P., Palo, Mich.— I have a beagle four years old. Five 

 daya ago lie cummcneed to cough as though he had something in 

 his throat and has coughing spells every day. He coughs hard 

 and trioB to raise something, but cannot. He is perfectly healthy 

 'toul Heems all tight otherwise. Ans. If you cannot discover any- 

 thing fn the throat, give him a dose or two of castor oil and feed 

 very sparingly for a few days. 



100 Q. — 1. I have given the oil as directed and the cough hap 

 left him, but soon after he was taken with blood diarrhoea and 

 passed almost clear blood, and would have passages every twenty 

 or flirty minutes.' ne is better now, but does not seem well, nor 

 baa bo fed well, 2. * * * 3 There also came on the inside of 

 one of his hind legs a large swelling which extended from his pri- 

 vates to the loside of his leg. The swelling was very hard and 

 looked very red. He show, no signs of the swelling now. 4. My 

 foxhound moves around without much life and is losing flesh rap- 

 idly. He does not run at the eyes or nose What shall I do for him ? 

 ins. 1. Injections of one half a teaspoantul of laudanum mixed 

 ■With a tablespoonfnl of starch water would have checked the diar- 

 rhoea. 2. Oil should have been at once applied to the part afflicted 

 and the member restored to its sheath. Allowing the dog to serve 

 tke bitch as often as you state was all wrong. 8. The swelling 

 Tras produced by the straining of one of the nerve centres of the 

 leg. The lifting of the leg tike a horse with the string halt will 

 probably right itself. 4. Feed on the hest of strong meat broths, 

 and give the hound two grains of quiniuo three times a day. 



• 101 C. F. B., Rockland, Mass.— I have a Newfoundland dog 

 two years old that has 3ore ears and the trouble resembles canker. 

 The ears become tilled with clotted blood, which seems to give 

 him more pain than ordinary canker should do. 1 have tried sev- 

 eral receipts for canker in the ear without success. If injured the 

 place will fill with puss and blood showing that his system is in 

 poor condition. He ib kept iu the house and petted as much as a 

 child. I think the trouble is greatly the result of overfeeding and 

 want of exercise. Ans. l'our dog's trouble ia a constitutional 

 one. Reduce quantity of food and feed only once a day— in the 

 afternoon. Corn meal mush mixed with well-cooked vegetables 

 should become his diet. Give half a teaspoonful of sulphur one a 

 day for five days, first having given a good dose of castor oil. Do 

 not expose your dog to the wet during the sulphur treatment, but 

 later give exercise at regular hours. Keep the ears clean with 

 tepid water and write result at. the end of two or three weeks 



102 M. W., Ridgewood, N. J. — I have a pointer puppy that is 

 ruptured ; a round lump protrudes from the naval abont afl large 

 as a walnut, The puppy is seven weeks old. Aus. Place the puppy 

 un his back and apply to the protrusion a eouieal-shaped portion of 

 cork, with a broad base, covered or not with leather, secure the 

 cork with strips of piteh plaster. The treatment is simple and in- 

 variably successful. 



108 G. H. T., Philadelphia.— Your young dog has, from your 

 description, the distemper. Give him the hest meat broths and two 

 grains of quinine three times a day. Keep him kennellednr a warm 

 and dry piace, but allow plenty of fresh air. Almost every case of 

 this disease is different; there is no specine cure ; all that can be 

 done by nfi who are unable to aee the patient ia to advise for cases 

 like yours the tonic treatment given above. 



104 G. H. T., Philadelphia.— My setter dog, twenty months 

 old, will not eat anything but meat. He won't eat mush made of 

 half cornnieal and half oatmeal, and he refuses Spratt's huseuit. 

 What shall I teed him onV Shall 1 starve him into eating mush? 

 Ana. Yes. We recommend starving him into eating the mush. It 

 is good food. It might be mixed with vegetable matter, such as 

 greens, potatoes, etc., very well boiled. Unless you do this you 

 will have great trouble with him when shooting in sections of the 

 country where it is impossible to procure meat. Besides, a purely 

 meat diet is not good for him. 



105 Q. M., New York City.— I have a large Newfoundland dog 

 which for some time past has had bad tits, He sleeps in the 

 house, is rr. the house, in fact, nearly ah the time, and is principally 

 led on raw beeves' hearts and scraps from the table. When out 

 for a walk he frequently staggers. He is costive in the bowels, 

 Ans. Your dog's trouble ariaes from overfeeding and lack of ex- 

 ercise. Avoid giving meat, feed but once a day, and then let the 

 food consist of mush, etc., mixed with well-cooked vegetables. 

 Give a large half teaspoonful of sulphur onco a day for four or 

 live days, aud during this treatment see that the animal ia not ex- 

 posed to the wet. Regular exercise, a cool and dry kennel, and 

 the above course should soon set your dog all right. 



106 Fobeesteb.— Will you inform me what 1 can do for a 

 young setter afflicted with blood-shot, gummy eyes, the result of 



<1 Li. I.uil t L( ,. jl- ; .,.,,:,„• ;„.;,. i ] i, ,,(.",,., ...t'l.-n ,.( „ , I K I,. i .1 1 '. ' > I cMci! - 



Have been giving him quinine, ginger and extract of couium 

 (hemlock). Ans. Keep the eyes clean bv bathing them twice a 

 day with warm water, after which use a small amount of a lotion 

 containing one and n half grains of sulphate of zinc to one ounce 

 of water. You may continue the quinine if appetite is not good, 

 but leave off the ginger and conium. 



107 G. H. B., Watertown, N.Y.— I would aBk about canker in my 



doe's ■"::!'- I ei e i <vr .-.lee ,■ ,. o sioos 1,-. -!■ ,d u ■ i Li I a r o i , I, t eio 

 v,eeks ago, wheu 1 stopped, thinking the dog cured. I have since 

 noticed at times the same strong odor. The only Bymptom ia the 

 odor. What can I do for it? Aus. Take carbdlate of zinc four 

 grains, mix in one ounce of water. Hold the dog's head on one 

 side and pour a little of the lotion in the ear, cover the ear over 

 with the flap, and let the lotion be retained a few minutea. This 

 will probably relieve the dog of the trouble. 



108 A. T. M., Brooklyn, N. V.— A friend of mine owns a fine 

 imported pointer bitch, which he lent to Mr. Furman, the owner 

 of the large trout ponds at Maspeth, L. I., for the purpose of rais- 

 ing a litter of pups from her and an imported dog owned by Mr. 

 Mills, of Smithtown, L. I. On Sunday, Jan. 16, she pupped seven 

 bitches and two dogs. Everything went on very well until Sunday 

 morning, Feb. 13, when Mr. Furman noticed that the bitch seemed 

 to be sick and thai, ahe acted strangely. He gave her some Bul- 

 phur, hut it did not relieve her, aud when he went into her kennel 

 some two hours afterward what was hia surprise to see that she 

 had dropped another pup (which was black as coal), it being four 

 weeks to the day since she had given birth to the other nine. The 

 pup was dead when. Mr. Furman found it, but he thinkB it was 

 killed by being trampled upon by the other pups. The next day, 

 Feb. 14, two of the pups died ; on Feb. 15 two more died ; on the 

 16th one died ; on the 17th Mr. Furman came to me for advice as 

 to what ailed the pups, I told him to take the rest of the pups 

 from the bitch, because she had blood poisoning, and as long as 

 she suckled them they would all die. He did as I told him, and 



v there are two pups left, both of whom seem to be strong and 

 healthy, yet they look thin, anditis impossible to get any flesh upon 

 their bones. This may seem strange, and no doubt many readers 

 of the Fobest and Stream will say it is not true ; but if they 

 will take the trouble to see Mr. Fm-man he will show them the 

 little pup, which he had set up by Mr Sargood, taxidermist, and 

 many of Mr. Furmau's friends will verify this statement. Ans. 

 This' is a very unusual, but not an impossible case. The "blood- 

 poisoning' 77 theory is probably the correct one, and the careful 

 jing of the puppies alone is all that remainB to be done.

The English Chsllekge— Ponghkeepsie, N. Y., March 15.— 

 Much has been said about the challenge received from the National 

 Rifle Association of Great Britain, aud of t be manner in which it 

 has been treated. It may be remembered bv some, albeit I pre- 

 sume most people have-, forgotten, that a team was sent, or I 

 should say went over to Ireland in the year 1*0 '■ shoot, a match 

 with the riflemen of that couutry, which by great effort and goufl 

 discipline was won by the American Teatn With thp highest score 

 on record, although, most of the team would have gone forth will- 

 ingly to promote so glorious an Undertaking without the hopoof fee 

 or reward. Our National Rifle Association promised Col. Bodine 

 and bis team their expenses, but when the time arrived for their 

 departure they found they must depend mainly on their own 

 purses. It was known by the Association wheu 'the team would 

 return, but on their arrival no delegation, not even a representa- 

 tive, was on hand to greet them, aud now they have not so much 

 aa a ribbon to show that they ever shot the great match of 1880. 

 One of our sporting papers allowed its columns to be used to 

 slander and abuse certain members of the team because thev did 

 not see tit to shoot ia the Hyde-Half ord match. To BUtn the matter 

 tin, this is why the present Board of Directors find it inexpedient 

 to accept the challenge. The diftictiltv of raising funds to defray 

 the expense of sending a team would not bo great, but thev find 

 it difficult to get our leading rillemeu to agree to set themselves up 

 as a target, for neglect, envy and detraction. H. F. Ci,auk. 



COHXiIK'S Shooting Gaiaeiiy — March 19. -'1 lie niuth week of the 

 Pistol Tournament euded to-night. The "ace" target proved very 

 satisfactory, and is considered a valuable acquisition to the alreadv 

 large number of marks for pistol practice. The tin get consists of 

 ten aces (diamonds, hearts, spades and clubs) regularly spaced so 

 as to form an oval. The shooting was at seven pace. The. 

 competitor making the greatest number of hits in ten shots 

 to be declared the winner of the championship. D. A. Davis 

 made the remarkable score of nine hits. His target is on 

 exhibition at the gallery, and ia without doubt one of the best 

 records ever made with a pistol. Dr. E. T. T. Marsh record seven 

 hits, and J. B. Miller won the "experts " badge, havinu scores 

 five hits. The tenth and last week of the tournament wih end 

 next Saturday. The competition will be for the ehatnpiouahip of 

 shooting at Creeduioor target (one inch bidlseye) distance fifteen 

 paces. It is the reduced 200 yard target generally used in galleries 

 throughout the country. 



New Yobk Rifle Gallkbv.— The match at this gallery for 

 March has attracted much interest. Some very hue holding has 

 been developed, as the scores of some of the leading ones will 

 show. The shooting is at ring targets, olio target to"" count ; no

Boston, Mass., March 19.— The early attendance was not large 

 to-day at Walnut Hill, although the miil-da,;,- , tenuis brqugnt orit 

 large numbers, which made the pavilion just full enough for com- 

 fortable shooting, keeping threo targets open aud the participants 

 busy. The day was apiriug-like, the anow having all disappeared 

 from the range, and the long-range men were out for the 11 1 -t I line 

 this season. They did good work at the long distance, consul, ring 

 the chilly atmosphero and tho changing light and tricky uind from 

 the east,' which was not easily controlled. W. W. Gerri^h made, at 

 the S00, 900 aud 1,000 yards, tho tine score of 211. At the 200-yard 

 range the wind came directly across the tiring points and proved 

 demoralizing in many cases. The Amateur and Li a dge match did 

 not fill, cousetpiently the riflemen devoted themselves to the Mas- 

 sachusetts targets. VI r. Lee took first, place in the Record match
