size of a small hazel nut. I have not had any bandage on it for the last 
month, bnt in place thereof have put sticking plaster on it. It does not 
get any worse, nor any better, and some few say that it may get as 
large as an egg. Ans. The chances are the protuberance will not in¬

or a brace of such successfully, without carrying weight enough lo kill 
a 20-pound salmon easily ? If so, he will find many attentive readers in 
Virginia and the South Atlantic States. If the snow melts, we will 
make some experiments with new fangled flies upon the bass in April.

G. A. F,, Foxhoro, Mass.—Will you please inform'ntc what are the 
symptoms of a mad dog? Wehadahonnd doggo through our streets 
yesterday, biting evBiy dog he came in contact with, also killingquite 
a number of fowls. After he was killed, it was found that Ids throat, 
was badly swollen. Was It hydrophobia? Ans. The probabilities arc 
that the dog had hydrophobia. The symptoms are pendulous lower jaw, 
flowing saliva, vacant expression, weak hind legs, and half oncaoecious 
movemonis. We have no doubt, however, that many dogs are destroyed 
who are not afflicted with rabies at all; stall, whenever there is a doubt, 
or any of the symptoms are preseut, we suggest that the animal he im¬ 
mediately destroyed. 
S. B. D., New York.—1 Will yon please to Inform me in yonr next

then? Could I successfully stock it with black bass, acd would they 
harm the trout? Ans, 1 There is; tront can only be netted on private 
waters, and for purposes of propagation. 2. Giant powder is the only 
agent with which yon can exterminate your catfish. Trout and black 
bass should not be placed in ihe same pond.

fine baskets are occasionally made on the Sawkill near Milford, Pa- 2. 
Do not know of anv. 3. No, not worthy of mention. 4. Near An¬ 
dover, Maine, aud a place well worth vlgiltng, where the largestJbrook

tridge, and cost per 100 for same? 2. Do you prefer the Ward-Burton 
rifle for laige game over the Winchester? Some o( the sportsmen here 
say that the Wiechester is apt to get out rtf order in very cold weaiher, 
often miss fire, the spring not being of sufficient strength. 8. Where 
can I obtain the Eureka Nut, lately advertised in your valuable paper, 
for the cure of tape worms In dogs? 4. What would be the coat of 20 
back numbers of Forest and Stream, to complete a volrnue of same, 
and where can I obtain them? Ans. ;. Of H. 0. Squires, No. 1 Court- 
landt street, this city. 8. Tnc Ward-Burton rifle is not on the market.

Editor. 4. $2; from this office. 
Breech Loader, Pittsbnagh —I bought a JS-bore double gnu, If lbs. 
weight, und although I could not obtain auy kind ot a pattern, I o0- 
tallied a terrific power of penetration. I loaded it with brown paper 
shells, Ely make, three drachms No. 4 orange lightning powder, two Ely 
felt wads or powder, it oz. Tatbam No. 8 Hhot, und Baldwin wad on 
Bhot, Not a dozen shot went a 30-inch circle, at say 30 yards. I tried 
various sizes of shot with no butter success, t took the gun back und 
got another, same gauge, only it weighs 8 6-16 pounds, and it behaved in. 
exactly the same manner as the first—terrific power, but no pattern. 
Could you tell me what is wrong? it is a splendid looking gun, cost me 
$225 cash, and contains all late improvements. Certainly it must be iu 
the loading, for both performed exactly alike. Ans. The only way wo 
can account for the remarkable shooting of your gun is in trie fact that 
the shells do not fit i bo chamber; if they were turned too short it might 
produce jnel the effect you mention. 
B. C., Cleveland, Ohio.—A party desire to start about July lfith fora 
trip down the St. Lawrence River lo the gulf; thence along the coast 
and New England States to New York. How long would it take to make

Ans. Rail front Suspension Bridge, Niagara Falls to Toronto, Or rati to 
Lewiston, and thence steamboat to Toronto. From Toronto iHke coast

Newcastle, Cobourg, Belleville, Kingston, Ciaytou, Alexandria Bay, and

fishing at Belleville; irout fishing at Cacounu, and baas and muecalonge 
at Alexandria Bay. 
J. R. S., lianuibal.. .1. In answering a question some time since, you 
said the Remington $45 shot gun was a good one for the price. Now, 
do you mean that the gnn is a poor one, and that is scarcely any account, 
or what do you mean by it? As I want a gnn that will shoot well, and 
have been told that that gnn is as good for Bhootiug as a high priced 
English 0>IC, I wish you would be a little diore explicit. 2. Am think¬ 
ing of going over to Perry Springs to spend the summer, near the Illi¬ 
nois River. Now what. Bort of fishing tackle had I heller take with me? 
What fish, will I find worth catching, and best wsy to catch tllan? 
3. Whatis the reputation of W. Ellis, London, ns a gun maker? 4. 
Does Mr. Dittmar send canisters of his powder by mall, or how can 
we get it here? 5. Inolice, in giving proper charges for gnus, that you 
use large quantities of powder, What do you think of Air. Hooper’s (in 
his Dog and Ouu) manner of charging with very small loads? Is it gone 
ontof fashion, or what Is your opinion of it - Also, is his manDot ot 
traimug dogs correct?' 6. is there any place in New York where I cau 
get a paper model of the ribs, keel, &c., of a Baden Powell canoe, so 
that I can make it myself ? Ans.—1. Wo meant exactly what we said— 
that the gun was a good one for the price; we might have said as gooff 
as any. We hear of some of them that shoot remarkably well. As for 
a $45 gun being as good as one worth $300, it is nonsense; the cheap 
gnn might shoot as well for a time, .but the other would probably out¬ 
wear many of them. 2. Black bass; take the appropriate tackle, whirh 
can be purchased of any dealer. 3. Good. 4. Yon can have it sent by 
express. 5. Larger charges are used now than in Mr. Hoopcr'Erini*-,
