fiho might cany, but most liiely will not, they would be unhandy 

 and troublesome, let alone that they would probably be in a llHt- 

 cued couditioD juot when they were' needed. The fewer rmpedi- 

 ineuta the better, when making a canoe trip where carries are fre- 

 quent. I ordered my cance eh-iir ou the meide from stem to stern, 

 no Beat or any pi-OTiaion for any. Jly shauty teut. with blanket and 

 three doge, frugal raticnB, pocket Latchet'and two Ught tin cups 

 made up a load, all told, of 28 lt«. I could make a good enough

In making a long trip through a wilderness where different river 

 systems interlock each other, Hud carries are rather frequent, no

G. B. E., Summei-aeld, 111.— 1. The Mammoth Gallei-y bullseye m 

 thi-ee-quarters ot an inch. 2. We know nothing of the bore, but 

 presume it is a form of choke-bore, in which ca.se wo should pre- 

 sume that it has the merits of close shooting. 



L. N. 0., LouisviUe, Ky.— The famous reply made hy the fisher- 

 men to Homer, when he asked them, in modern parlance, " What 

 luck?" was this: " As many as we have caught we have left; as 

 many as we have not caught we take with us."

 will send any one of these books postpaid on receipt of price. 



Detonation. — We have never examined any of the guns which 

 were employed by Carl Dittmar in the alleged tests of his powder 

 in former year.s ; but we have been told that he had one gun built 

 to order, weighing fourteen pounds, and especially fitted for the 

 " Dittmar Sporting Powder." 



M. V. L., Carson City, Nov.- What is the diSerenoe between the 

 duck and drake of the cinnamon teal? Ans. The differences m 

 plumage were noted in oiu- issue of Dec. 9, 18,30, which see. The 

 female is much plainer in coloring, and is almost without chestnut, 

 but has the bright blue wing marks which yrill serve to distinguish 

 it from any of our ducks except the female blue wing. 



J. D., New York. — ^I would like to ask your advice ou the snbjeci 

 of rifles. I would like to purchase a rifle that will be effective on 

 any game in the United States. Have thought about getting a 

 Winchester Express, but am at a loss to know the oxti-eme accurate 

 range of this arm, which, to my eyes, is a \ei-y poor weapon over 

 150 yards. Am. See article ou " Hunting Piides " in recent issues.

 about how much I yrUl have to pay for a brace of Lavorack or

eight yeai-s. They have exceUeut packs of hounds and some good

E. M. G., Solon, Me.— Will you please give me direotiouB for 

 preaervmg bu-ds with the ftickersheuner Huid? Where can I get 

 an mjectmg needle and what will they cost ? Ana. We presume 

 that birds can be injected in the heart the same as fishes (see our 

 article in Forest asd Steeam, of Nov. i, 1830), but they will 

 alnays remain flexible, and the immersion necessary may destroy 

 the plum.ige. Injecting needles can be had of etu-gical instrument 

 makers , they may cost half a dollar, more or less. 



G. H. D., Watertowu, N. Y.— Kodiuan's BeUe, a red bitch, was 

 whdped m 1874, and given by him to Mr. Geo. H. Wild, Bed Bank, 

 N. J. U e think there were five m the Utter, one of which is Bass- 

 ford's Chris, a black dog, which was entered in the first West- 

 minster Show, 1877, and also in the fourth. We have it that the 

 pedigiee of BeUe is as foUows : BeUe by Rodman's Dash, out of 

 Pentz B NelUe (a black and tan bitch imported by him, pedigree 

 not known) : Dash was by Paul Mead's Dath, owned by Mr. F. H. 

 Palmer at the time of his (Dash's) death, out of Palmer's BeUe, 

 given him by Mr. Talbot of Dublm, Ii-eland (Belle was of the 

 Hutchinson strain, pedigree not known). Paul Mead's Dash was 

 by Dash, brought to the cotmtry by a British officer who was sta- 

 tioned in Canada, out ot a bitch called Maggie, and known as the 

 Kent bitch ; but Mr. F. B. Eyer, of this city, informs us that the 

 owner of the bitch was the late Mr. Andrew Johnson. BeUe, now 

 owned by Jlr. Wild, is said to be a very good working dog. She 

 was shot over tliis autumn in Maiyland.
