DoitbTjE-Swivei, Dog Chain FOE.THE Dog Snow.— We 

 have just been tkown by Henry C. Squires, No. 1 Cort- 

 laudt ' street, an excellent chain which he had manu- 

 factured expressly for the Dog Show. It has not only 

 two swivels, but a spring-hook at each end, and three 

 rings in the chain, so that it can be. shortened to any 

 suitable length. This chain is avast improvement over 

 the ordinary bar-chain, which is liable to kink and be- 

 come unfastened. Supt. Lincoln tells us that he is occa- 

 sioned a great deal of trouble on account of dogs work- 

 ing themselves loose, and would be pleased if all exhibi- 

 tors would use something of this kind.

C-RVDE Petroleum for Manoe.— Missouri Valley, 

 Iowa, March SOili. — Iu your issue of March 25th I note 

 a communication from "Hemlock," of St. Leonard, 

 V. Q.. in which he states his experience of applying crude 

 petroleum for mange. I being the first one who advised 

 the use of this oil, will tell how I came to (ind it out. 

 Nearly four years ago, while hunting in the woods sur- 

 rounding Titusvibe, Pa., I was accompanied by my 

 cocker spaniel, who at that time was troubled with the 

 mango ; his whole back was one sore, minus hair. In 

 my travels I came to an oil well — one of the many which 

 can be seen near Titusville. My dog kept his back sore 

 l, nitty rubbing on the ground or against a tree. I 

 cannot toll what induced me" to do it, but I went to the 

 oil-tank, and with a broad chip I saturated my dog's 

 bark with the oil, and am happy to say that inside of ten 

 i lays the sore back was healed, and the hair came out, 

 thicker than, ever. Do not use kerosene, as it contains 

 an acid, hut use the oil just as it comes from the wells. I 

 would be glad to bear the experience of others.

Cure for "Salmoned" Does.— Dayton, W. T,, %/Tqreh 



3d.— Editor Forest ami Stream:—! 'have lived on the 

 North Pacific Coast over twenty-five years, and have lost 

 several valuable dogs by their eating' salmon. As to the 

 reason why, I offer no theory ; but I do know that a small 

 piece of healthy salmon will kill a dog as sure as a dose 

 of strychnine, if nothing is done for him. The Indians 

 stom their dogs to it by feeding it in small pieces 

 when they are ypiuig. I have tried almost everything 

 for a cure, but never found anything that would do any 

 good until about a year ago, when my setter got "sal- 

 moned," and a friend told me to give him coal oil. I 

 gave him an ounce to begin with, and gave him about 

 half a dozen doses. I could see a change for the better 

 from the first dose. In a few davs lie was all right. I 

 have seen it tried 3< treraj; fcil i iii i b, and never knew it 

 to fail. Airy one having u dog "salmoned" would do 

 well to try this. I beJievo it to be almost a sure cure.

 lMrcmTi:<G Doas.— Editor Forest ami Stream :— By 



i [placement of a period in a recent letter your types 



have made me say, " I do nol advise anyone bo import.'' 

 The sentence should have stood thus: " Pointers and set- 

 ters 1 do not ad\ iseanyone to import:," and my reason for 

 making the remark was that, in my opinion, your Am- 

 erican sporting dogs are just as good as our English, with 

 i i.ion of hounds of any kind, and terriers. Any 

 information regarding the importation of dugs I will he 

 glad to give while in New York, and I dare say 1 shall be

 tin, by gentlemen shooting the double York Bound. arid all 

 .•sof 700 and over ever made by ladles at the National Bound 

 at any public meeting. And to these nro added a large num- 

 ber of the beiit praoltco scores ever made by archer: 01 

 Britain and America in privato shooting, at all the ranges 

 from thirty to one hundred yards, including the best privato 

 practice of Ford, Bramhall, Mooro, Fisher, Kimiugton, Palalret, 

 A. Le Clare, G. E. S. Fryer and others of the best shots among the 

 thegentlcmenof Great Britain, and practice scores of Mis.TIorne

 Among American scores arc given the best records at all ranges 

 of the two Thompsons, Frank C. Bavens.X. L. Peddinghitus, O. 

 W. Kyle, Ford, P. Had, H. C. Carver, Edwin Devol. Br. Weston 

 and many other leading Toxopbilites. Such a chapter is very 

 valuable to every studious Toxophilite, and it certainly should 

 add much to the already large sales of the book. Mr. Shnrpo's 

 book, " Our Modern Archers," is a very valuable one, giving tho 

 archer a good idea of the style and accuracy of all the more illte- 

 trious bowmen of Groat Britain. Tho more such literature is 

 studied, tho greater will be the skill of our archers,

THE LITERATURE OF ARCHERY. 



NO pastime is so difficult to learn as archery. To 

 attain to any degree of proficiency with the bow ueiruteeB 

 not only much practice with the archer's weapons, but much 

 study ..I' archery as a Fc-tenee. There is n great deal of archery 

 literature, however, which is not only valueless to the evumct 

 (Student, but positively injurious. Hansard's " Honk of Archery" 

 contains a vast mass of legendary trash, but not one word which 

 will assist an archer toward the mastery of hia refractory gear. 

 So with the treat. sesot Mr. Roberts and Mr. Waring. In truth. 

 about the only hooks which contain any really valuut 

 the archer are Mr. Ford's "Theory and Practice of Archery." Mr. 

 James Sbarpe's " Our Modern Archers," Mr. Maurice Thompson's 

 " Witchery of Archery," and the work entitled, "HowtoTraiu iu 

 Archery," by Messrs. Maurice and Will H. Thompson. If the be- 

 ginner will supply himself with these works, and carefully adapt 

 his practice to the rules therein laid down, he need not remain 

 season of ter season at a stand-still, happy at the achievement of 

 some accidentally accjuired scores of mediocre merit, hut, may 

 confidently expect to advance to thefront rank of archers with 

 rapid strides. Of course, there can be no great advance without 

 patient practice, but practice only is a slow way of working out a 

 knowledge of a craftso difficult as archery. In any art or craft i 

 is always infinitely more dimonlt to achieve SUec&SE by blindly 

 groping in the dark, feeling the way by esperiment, than to fol- 

 low the clear pathway blazed by tho veteran guides who have 

 thoroughly explored its every mystery. 



Mr. I-Vird's book has been out of print for many years, and he 

 has persistently refused lo reprint it, and thus it has been practi- 

 cally unattainable by American To.vophilitc-s; hut Mr. Deau V. 

 B. Mauley, and Mr. Baft of Toledo, Ohio, have determined to 

 issue a reprint of tho edition of 1850, which is tbe last and fullest 

 edition issued in England, eontoiuiug not only the lull text nl 

 Mr. Ford's bonk, but also exact eopies of all the illusl i 



m ij'r m i v of Ameri an notes. We understand die reprint will 

 be sold for Sl.50.aud every American To.xophilite should have- the

 son, " How to Train hi Archery," will issue in a Tew weeks a 

 second edition of the work greatly enlarged by the edition of two

REVOLVING IN CRICKET. 



NtiW l'OUK, Apt i' '' (1, 



I FIND "A Member of Many Clubs" again appeals in your issue 

 or April Stli. It doesn't much matter whether " fru ket " is 

 an individual or an association. But to satisfy him on that point 

 1 will inform him that it is an individual. 1 fever supposed he 

 was the author of the remark "this reform was much needed to 

 protect one or two kindred organizations iu this city," and I 

 nowhere in my last communication say that I did ; 1 defy hici to 

 point out any such sentence. 



The :u a ten Maud Club, in passing their late amendment, con- 

 sidered it was adopting a course tor the future which would lie 

 a benefit to cricket, for the reason that its amendment pi 

 revolving. 



You, Mr. Editor, spoke of it as a "reform" in your editorial of 

 Feb. 5th, that "was much needed not only to ftamp theclub's indi- 

 viduality, but also to protect one or two kindred on i 

 in this vicinity." 



"A Member of Many Clubs" then comes out in your next issue 

 Mim-iit that lie very much doubts it the am; in i 

 can bfl termed a reform, anil fails to seewhat protection it adonis 

 other organizations— "or how it will benefit the game of criei.ct." 



Now, sir. if the practice of revolving is injurious to criokct; if 

 that a club loses independence no 



: ,., i oi - demoralized by continually making up Its 



front among the strong players of other clubs, then ii la mi f easy 

 ti see how you. consider the rule prohibiting - ill bet 



edt the game of cricket. So, too, for the 

 ■'kindred organizations" by protecting them against. 1 

 Injurious acts and praetiecie-protecting them by throwing each 

 club upon its own resources, and not permitting them I 

 a half-d'-ad-and-alive existence under the conviction that when- 

 ever it wishes a few laurels or a httle glory il 

 simply calling in tho services of other clubs' best men on match 



It is true the SJ.-ucn Island Club has permitted revolving: in the 

 past It ft true, too, that the club itself was organized or started 

 uvtwoor three revolvers. This sort of thin- may -i J 



amendment in question is concerned. That only pre- 

 vents its members rrora playing against itself In matches. 



The members of the States Island club'; can join as many clubs 

 as they choose, if they wish togive a young- club th- 

 their pecuniary support or experience and knowledge of the game
