BEAUFORT'S COJSDITION.-JWtfor Forest and Stream: 

 In yoiu- last issue you say that Beaufort has nearly recovered 

 from an attack of inflammation of the bowels, and that he did 

 not, when exhibited at New Haven, carry himself in the fault- 

 less manner he affects when at his best. Though the dog has 

 been sick, inflammation was avoided. Beaufort weighed 

 sixty two pounds when exhibited at New Haven. I can show 

 him at seventy-two pounds, and it was a pleasure to see him, 

 when thus handicapped, win the special prize for the best 

 sporting dog in the show.— Chas. H. Mason (New York, 

 March 24). 



PEDIGREE OF LIT L A VERACK.— Editor Forest and 

 Stream.: In your paper of March 27, l notice that Mr. Thos. 

 F. Connelly claims the name of Lit Laveraek for a bitch 

 puppy, and gives the pedigree as by Tempest (Pontiac ex Fairy 

 II,) out of Lilly (Carlo witz ex Queen Bess). I saw these pup- 

 pies advertised out of Lilly (Carlo wite ex Princess JSellie). 

 Which is corret, and is Lilly a pure Laveraek if her dam was 

 Queen Bess?— G-. R. Nichols (New Haven, March 31).

KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 

 ^T° No Notice Taken of Anonymous Correspondents. 



A. D. W., Warren, Pa.— See answer to "W, H, H," 



J. W. A.. New Bedford, Mass.— Your dog probably has a slight 

 attack of distemper. 



W. D. B., Westfleld, N. J.— Give a teaspoonful of cod liver oil three 

 times daily for a week or two. 



G. W. A., Boston, Mass.— Let the bitch pass one season and she will 

 probably then breed all right. 



Onondaga, Syracuse, N. Y.— Feed your dog mutton and barley 

 broth. For the trouble in his ear see answer to '-Night Hawk" last 

 week. 



C. B. M., Madison, Ga.— Wash the dog thoroughly with strong soap 

 suds, then sop on freely sulphurous acid, one part to four of water- 

 repeat every day for three or four days, and follow with sulphur 

 ointment. 



W. F.T., Altoona, Pa.— Your dog probably has distemper. The 

 partial paralysis of his hindquarters is a symptom often accompany- 

 ing the disease. A liveral diet and the use of tonics with careful 

 nursing will probably bring him out all right. 



W. H. H, Hartford, Conn,— 1. The abscess which you describe is 

 of very common occurrence among dogs. When forming it should 

 be carefully watched, and as soon as a soft place can be detected 

 showing that pus has formed, it should be opened at its lowest or 

 most pendant point and the pus allowed to escape naturally without 

 squeezing. This is often one of the milder forms of distemper. 2. 

 Distenyper assumes so many forms.that it is;impossible for any one to 

 intelligently prescribe without an examination. It is always safe, 

 however, to recommend careful nursing, a warm kennel where plenty 

 of pure air can be had, and in cases Of debility, tonics may be given 



\ifle and 



flwviing.

POWDER IGNITION. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



As there seems to be great diversity of opinion as to the distance 

 that the flash of a primer will penetrate the powder charge, I have 

 made a few experiments to satisfy myself on the subject, and send 

 you the results. 



To show what wild statements experienced riflemen will make, I 

 will quote the observations of two expert marksmen on the subject: 

 One says that the flash of a Berdan No. 1 primer will permeate the 

 entire charge to the base of the ball. The other that the force gene- 

 rated by the explosion of the same primer will throw a .15-caliber 

 ball from the shell out of the muzzle of a military rifle. Both of 

 these statements are wrong. And here I wish to make the point, 

 that because a man has the natural gift of "holding well, " he is by 

 no means qualified to give points on scientific rifle shooting, rather 

 the coutrary, as he acquires his object without the study and pains- 

 taking required by others. 



Now for my experiments: I took a quantity of sand carefully sifted 

 to the same granulation as FG powder, and heated it thoroughly to 

 exclude moisture and prevent cohesion. Then some .45-caliber gov- 

 ernment shells (U. M. C). capped with Berdan No. 1 primers, were 

 loaded as follows: 



No. 1. 10 grains of sand (by measure; on top of this 10 grains FG 

 powder, then 1 felt wad. 



No. 2. 15 grains of sand; rest the same. 



No. 3. 20 grains of sand; rest the same. 



No. 4. 30 grains of sand; rest the same. The sand in each case was 

 poured in lightly to avoid compression; powder the same, and the 

 wad was lightly seated. 



The results were: 



No. 1. Powder ignited, and wad blown from gun. 



No. 2. Powder not ignited, wad thrown about an inch beyond 

 mouth of shell, space between grains of sand and powder filled with 

 smoke. 



No. 3. Powder not ignited, wad started but did not leave shell, smoke 

 arose when wad was removed. 



No. 4. Powder not ignited, wad not started, smoke arose from sand 

 when poured out of shell. 



10 grains of sand occupied Jjjin. in length of .45 cal. shell. 



15 grains of sand occupied fuix. in length of .45-cnl. shell. 



20 grains of sand occupied iglh. in length of .45-cal, shell. 



30 grains of sand occupied %in, in length of .45-cal. shell. 



Whence I think that we may reasonably infer that the flash of a 

 Berdan No. 1 primer, penetrates the charge less than %xn. 



Your correspondent, '\J. J. P." raises some interesting points in his 

 "Rifle Queries," in your issue of Feb. 21. I shall answer oneor two 

 of his questions when I have had time to calculate a few tables to il- 

 lustrate my position, provided always, that some one does not cover 

 the ground in the meantime. Further experiments and more aceu- 

 rate 'measurement s than I had the means of making when I last wrote 

 on the subject, incline me to the belief that Mr. Dodge is right in at- 

 tributing the good performance of bullet No. 6 in my experiments to 

 less friction. I find that the diameter of No. 8 is 0.40S7in. against 

 0.40511b. lorNo. 4. If decreasing the diameter ii-i0.ormiu. produces 

 such a marked improvement, the question natumfly occurs, what is 

 the most efficient diameter? Will* Mr. Dodge and our other friend 

 who are experimentally inclined help us to a solution?
