344 NATURALIST'S CABINET. 



Receipt for keeping a sportman's gun clean. 



For keeping a sportsman's gun clean, Dr. 

 Harward recommends three ounces of black 

 lead, half a pound of hog's lard, and one quarter 

 of camphor, boiled upon a slow fire. The gun 

 barrels are to be rubbed with this preparation, 

 and after three days, wiped off with a linen cloth. 

 Twice in a winter will keep off the rust, which 

 the salt-water is otherwise sure to be continually 

 bringing out of the iron.
