 will effectually resist the dampness. 



AV. H. D., Baltimore Md.— There is no such firm in Birmingham 

 known to us. The name is, we believe, a trade name used by the 

 American agents. The $80 gun named is a fair, safe arm. 



J. E. H, Gravis Mills, Mo.— I put mv gun into a vise to wipe it out, 

 and one of the barrels gave in. Do you think I should pay for a new 

 one, or should the maker supply it;' Ans. You should pay for it. 



E. T. B., South Bend, Ark.— 1. AVhat kind of feed is best for young 

 puppies just weaned ? 2. Is butter-milk good for them? Ans. 1. See 

 article on raising puppies in Forest and Stream of Nov. 3. 2. Yes.

R. W. M., Colorado Springs, Col.— The tool for checkering gun 

 stocks can be had of most dealers in hardware. To polish the stock, 

 use first a file, then sandpaper, pumice stone, and h'naliv hand rub it. 

 There is nothing better for a final polish than the hand. 



F. B., Philadelphia.— My two cocker spaniels, four months old, are 

 full of lice. AVhat shall I do for them? Ans. Persian insect powder 

 twice a week until they disappear. Repeaaed applications are neces- 

 sary to kill those that hatch after getting rid of the first ones. 



J. E. F., Lynn, Mass.— The rifle costs about $18. The second-hand 

 one offered for S35 is expensive, unless there is some special work on 

 it. The other is nearer what a second-hand ritle of that make should 

 cost. We should be pleased to hear from you about the birds. 



AA"., Minnesota Junction.— To take the load out of your rifle use a 

 wire scratch brush well lubricated with mercurial ointment. For 

 loading you should use a rifle powder measure, which you may 

 obtain of any of the dealers, or directly of the manufacturer of your 

 rifle. 



Elm House. Andover, Mass.— Is the coach dog a distinct breed or a 

 cross. Ans. More than three hundred years ago a dog greatly 

 resembling the coach dog ivaa brougii, from India to Spain. " The best 

 authorities agree that the present breed is from this dog, probably 

 crossed with the pointer. 



Anxious Inquirer, Fall River. Mass.— My setter dog has got over 

 the distemper, but is very week; can hardly walk, shivers, arid does 

 not desire to move at all. He needs some kind of strengthening 

 prescription. What, shall I do for him? Ans. Give him a tablespoon- 

 tul of cod liver oil and one grain of sulphate of iron twice a day, and 



let, this

NEW "KATHLEEN MAVOURNEEN." 



T/"ATIPLEEN MAVOURNEEN, the gray dawn is breaking, 

 -*^ The birds in the buckwheat are whistling "Bob White," 

 The maids in the kitchen my sandwich are making — 

 Oh, don't keep me waiting — it's hardly polite. 



It isn't the day to be taking a nap on; 



The yellow leaves whirl in the pale, slanting sun: 

 And see, I have put my corduroy cap on, 



And am snapping the locks of my breech-loading gun. 



All day we will roam through the mild autumn weather, 

 And find in the gloaming the bonny- brown broods 



Of dappled-wing quail, as they huddle together; 

 For I know that my beauty delights in the woods. 



At the whirr of a partridge you'll half lose your senses, 



And when the moon rises, hungry and wan, 

 We'll eat the raw turnip on ancient stone fences — 



At least, I will eat it and you may look on. 



You'll prove yourself worthy the bright silver whistle 

 You took at the show; but I can't understand 



Why you don't come a-dancing, like down of the thistle, 

 And leaping around me and licking my hand. 



Come out of your kennel! You'll find that you'd better, 

 Or the whip in my pocket will cause you to wail; 



Oh, Kathleen Mavourneen my red Irish setter, 

 I'm off for the uplands to knock down the quail.

The Bisby Club.— The fourth annual report of the Trus- 

 tees of the Bisby Club for 1882, is before us. The club is 

 situated on the Bisby lakes, Herkimer county, in the State of 

 New York. The fishing has not been as good the past year 

 as previously, the cause of Avliieh is unknown. The club 

 has continued its operation in fishculture AA'ith success, and 

 last summer the brook trout could be seen jumping every 

 evening and the young fish might he seen about the shores, 

 while in the inlet they fairly swarmed. The large fish, how 

 ever, seemed to prefer the natural food of the lake, and it 

 was on his account that the catch was poor. In August a 

 rainbow trout, from the stock deposited in June 1879, was 

 taken, which weighed one pound. After the ice disappeared 

 in Woodhull lake several land-locked salmon were taken. 

 The planting of this fish was accidental, a lot intended for 

 Bisby in 1879 became weak, and as the weather was hot they 

 were turned into Woodhull, without much expectation of 

 ever hearing from them again. Deer have been plenty on the 

 grounds of the club. The officers are: B. U. Sherman, 

 President; C. Eoby and "W". W. Snow, Vice-Presidents; Henry 

 H. Thompson, Secretary; Sanford F. Sherman; Treasurer. 



Sicily Island For Sale. — We call special attention to 

 the notice of Sicily Island in the Susquehanna River at Lan- 

 caster county, Pa. It is a fine location for a club, and will,. 

 we presume, find ready sale.
