G. A. F., Cauau<iaig>ia, N. Y.— Inclosed please find sample of 

 grain which >ve suppose to be wild rioe. Can you tell us if it is 

 mich? Ans. Yes. 



0. 1. H, wiiiti .Sulphur Spring-s.— letter mailed to you at the 

 j'print'^s. AdJiess "Cordon," this ofBoe, and your letter AViUbe 

 forwarded to adveniser. 



SuBSCRiBEa, Cincinnati, Ohio.— 1. Does the new "Greener" Trap 

 or Club Gun have rebounding locks or not? 2. Can either 

 metal or paper shells be used In it ? Ans. 1. Bebounding- looks. 3. 

 Either. 



W. P. B., Lynn, Mass.— For close shooting at forty yards which 

 gun will prove best, a 33in. 16-gauge, or a 80in. 10-gauge. Both 

 guns to be open (not choked) and use one ounce of shot (No. 5 or 

 8). Ans. The 16-bore gun will shoot closest it everything is 

 equal. 



E. F. H., Jersey City, N. J.— 1. What weight bore and length of 

 barrels would you advise for a general gun ? 3. Do you consider 



the gun a good one ? 3. What is the lowest figure I can got 



a gun for that will do good work? Ans. 1. Eiirht pounds, 10-gauge, 

 aOin. 3. Yes. 3. About fifty dollars will procure you a safe aaa. 



Hai.l, Syracuse, N. Y.— What size of a gun would you advise 

 one purchasing for general shooting^lO, or 12-bore. I want a gun 

 that I can shoot in trap and Held and duck ? Some say a 10 and 

 others 13. Please advise. Acs. tt is much a matter of fancy. We 

 would recommend Ko. 10. The firm you mention stand well with 

 the trade. 



C, Kent County,N. Y.— I wish to send a dozen 11 ve g uail to Eng- 

 land. Will you kindly Inform me how I am to proceed, and what 

 the probable cost will be ? It you cannot give the desired infor- 

 mation, could you instruct me who to write to that could do so? 

 Ans. Write to E. B. Goldsmith, 53 Wall street. New York. He 

 will give you all information desired. 



S. L. A., Sjcoud.— The worms you described are pin worms. In- 

 .lectionsof salt and water will do good, but wo suggest that you 

 give injections of turpentine, small dessertspoonful mixed with 

 warm miik. This will rid her of the worms, which probably cause 

 a sympathetic irritation of the bladder, and will prevent the 

 trotibleother freiiuent desire to pass water. 



T. .1. D ., Alabama.— I have a mare that is gun-shy and as she is 

 almost perfect in every other respect, can vou suggest a remedy 

 for her fault ? Ans. In some cavalry regiments the feeding time 

 is denoted by the flring of a pistol. This soon changes a young 

 horse's dread of the report into eager, joyous expectation. It is 

 the visible animation of the old horses that so quickly reconciles 

 the cavalry colt to the sound of the " feeding pistol." Fear and 

 joy are feelings get more contagious in animals than in man. 

 We can suggest no better mode of training. 



C. M, S., Dunbarton, N.H.— 1. Can yoU tellme wherel can get a 

 pair of 8-bore barrels ? I wish to get the barrels, locks and action 

 fitted together, but not finished. I can get 13 and 18-bore in Bos- 

 ton, but cannot find a pair of 8s. Would not an 8-bore give better 

 pattern at long range than a 10, both being choked alike ? Ans. 1. 

 It is doubtful if you can get a pair without ordering them. We 

 do not know of a pair in the city. 2. No better pattern. 



J. K., New York City.— I have apointer that has been sick for 

 a long time: not knowing his disease until I discovered he had 

 passed a part of a tape worm . Please advise a remedy. Ans. As 

 theageof your dog is notgiven itis impossible to prescribe ex- 

 act quantity, but if you will starve your dog twenty-four hours, 

 then give from ton to thirty drops of oil of male fern, repeat dose 

 half hour later, and follow with caster oil, you will. In all proba- 

 bility, produce the desired result. 



J. W., Pittsburg, Pa.— I have an Irish setter dog, one year old. 

 He is strong, lively and has a moderate appetite, nose cool and 

 moist and pulse good. Have fed cooked meat with some vegeta- 

 bles. At times he draws himself in about the kidneys and seems 

 in pain, so much so that he howhj ; has had diarrhcea, but is over 

 it and is somewhat costive now. Please prescribe for him. Ans. 

 l''our dog has occasional fits of colic. When the symptoms appear 

 give dessertspoonful of castor oil with half teaspoonf ul of laud- 

 anum. Exercise in moderation and the food you have been feed- 

 ing will bring your dog around in time. 



Many ansivers deferred until next tueeh.
