Dp. 8., Bayonne, N. J.—A young pointer’s hair is falling off, He is 
only one month old. I think it isthe mange, but am not sure. I am 
giving him pagan Ts that goow? Ans, Sulphuris good but will not 
cure mange. You do not give sufficient facts. You may wash your 
dog carefully once a week with carbolie soap, and feed but onee daily 
on Indian meal boiled with a few seraps of meat. 
C. G., Jr,, Elmira, N. Y.—My setter dog, a year old, is very thin and 
has no appetite, walks rather stiffened and hunched up. His head 
and nosé are hot, his passages are hard, limy, hair mixed with them. 
Ans. Your dog's liver is out of order. Give him a dose of castor oil 
one tablespoonful, and follow this up with flye grain doses of calomel 
onee a day for three or four days. Your druggist will make you five 
grain powders, and as it is tasteless ibmay he sprinkled in with the 
food. Do not.feed too highly while under treatment. 
. H. W., Denver, Col,—My dog constantly seratches himself, 
although I see no eruption on him. He has been given sulphur until 
the cords of one side of his neck became contracted and caused great 
pain, so Lstopped giving it. The dogisapet and has been confined 
to the house most of the time and has very little exercise. Hxcepting 
thé above symptoms he seems to ba well, Ans. Your description is 
too meagre. Has your dog fleas?’ A good medicine to improve the 
general condition is either Fowler's or Donovan's solution of arsenic 
given in ten drop doses once a day in the food. 
J, W, P.—My deerhound dog, two years and a half old, has an 
almost continuous running of clear water discharge from the nose. I 
haye had him since the latter part of October. At the time he was 
thin and in very poor condition from lack of exercise and from 
almost coustant showing during the preceding five or six weeks, He 
has improved constantly since then, has gained five pounds, and is 
now in excellent general health, Can you account for the discharge 
and suggest aremedy? Ans. The discharge is likely to pass off as his 
condition improves, but you might give him ten drops tincture chlor- 
jle of iron in his food twice a day, Continue for three weeks and then 
report condition. 
Jd. H. C., Washington, D, C.—An Irish setter bitch, three years old, 
has scab or small sores from ears to root of tail, Hyes somewhat 
watery, scratches very little, and seems a little deaf, Some 
time ago she had poor appetite, but has good appetite now, and 
is fat as a hog. Has no exercise, is kept, not tied, in a small 
yard; hairis thin and seems coming ont all the time; shé is feda 
great deal of meat; had pups one year ago and lost them all from 
some disease. and had thésame herself, and I almostlosther. the 
don’t seem in any trouble or misery, but don’t look right. Nose cold 
all the time, and she is playful. Ans, From what you say we do not 
wonder that your dog is sick. Give the dog little or no meat, or if 
meat is given let it be cooked with mush, Feed butonceaday. Give 
her plenty of exercise. Wash her back thoroughly every day with 
‘warm water and carbolic soap. : A 
H. E. W., Baltimore.—_I have a Chesapeake bitch twenty-two 
_ months old, of lively, affectionate disposition. About June had the 
Imange quite badly. I gave seedy. of sulphur, and rubbed her with 
Sulphur mixed to thick paste with lard. Got all right, and has been 
perfectly well until lately, Took her tothe shore this season four 
times. Had very little shooting, consequently but httle work for her 
in the water. I kept her in the house when atthe shore. On the 
second trip, and at intervals at home, [have observed her when lying 
down to moan, and to be apparently in great pap rising with quite 
an effort, and very stiff and sore in the loins, is it rheumatism, kid- 
ney affection, effects of sulphur, or can it be from some accident? 
Ang, It may be any one of the three troubles you nmiention, or 
worms, If rheumatism, the pain would persist whether lyiug or 
standing. If kidney trouble her water would show it, It you could 
collect alittle of this and boil it ih a glass tube, you would find a 
white precipitate of albumen if kidney diseags were present. The 
sulpbur is prooably not the cause, It would be easy to satisty your~ 
self of this by purging thoroughly with cagtor oil, We vhink yoy 
areca nut or oil of wormseed, Of the latter, ten drops daily while 
fasting, and after purging, Give on lump of sugar,

REVOLVER TARGET SHOOTING. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
A year or so ago there were published in ForEst AND STREAM a 
number of communications from various persons regarding target 
shooting with reyolvers. As far as 1 am aware there appears to have 
resulted no benefit from this ventilation of ideas. Several writers 
who, like myself, find much pleasure in target practice with a pistol, 
advocated cartridges containing lighter charges than those ordinarily 
made, This was 4 good enough suggestion, but the cartridge manu- 
facturers do not appearto haye been impressed by it ag they still 
produce the old sizes of ammunition. As for myself, I think that the 
.82 short rim-fire cartridge is about the right sorb of ammunition for 
pistol practice; but a revolver, different from any of those now made 
is needed to give food results. 
Messrs. Smith & Wesson used to make a 6-shot .32 caliber rim-fire 
reyolyer with 5 and 6in. barrels, The front sights upon them were 
too low for the length of barrel, bnt nevertheless, very good target 
practice could be done with the pistols as long as the barrel joint re- 
mained firm. This joint was their weak spot, as it proved to bein all 
the old styles of Smith & Wesson pistols. These weapons gave the 
best results with a short .32 cartridge, as the long cartridge contained 
a superfiuity of powder, which was only wasted by being blown out 
of the muzzle of the pistol without increasing the force of the ball. 
Thus having observed these facts. and having experimented with 
divers end sundry revolvers of various makes, ineludine the latest 
production of the Smith & Wesson and Colt factories, I have come 
to the conclusion that the best revolver for target practice would be 
a six-shot pistol of .32 caliber, chambered to shoot the short rim-fire 
cartridge of that bore and made exactly on niodel of the Colt's .45 
army reyolver, but of course smaller and with a 44¢ or 5-inch barrel. 
Such a weapon would bea gun for target work. The solid frame 
would make a perfectly firm weapon; which the old §. & W. was not, 
andthe Colt midel lock would insure perfect action and sure fire. 
The pistol should weigh at least 16 ounces, which is no more than the 
weight of the 8..& W. center-fire .38. , 
Cannot the Colt Fire Arms Manufacturing Company be induced to 
turn out such a weapon as I have described? Surely every one who 
knows what constitutes a serviceable revolver, large enough for shoot- 
ing at a mark, but not too bulky to carry in the pocket would welcome 
such a pistol. Nine-tenths of all the pocket revolyers now made are 
utterly worthless for target shooting. One fault with many 32-cali- 
ber pistols is that the handles are too slender to be firmly grasped. 
For pistols under .44 or .45-caliber I deem center-fire cartridges a 
nuisance; they are too small to pay to reload (not to speak of the in- 
eonvenience -of the work) and they are too expensive to use other- 
wise. These are my reasons for advocating a rim-fire pistol, 
Although inclined to be tenacious of my ideas as to what would 
constitutes a perfect revolver, I should like te read in your journal 
the ideas of other persons. . THIRtTY-TWwo SHORT. 
[Our correspondent is entirely correct in saying that a large per- 
centage of the ‘pocket reyolyers now made are utterly worthless,”’ 
They are not intended for accurate target practice, but insteau are 
meant to catch the loose cash of that large class who would not be 
content without the fancied security of a weapon in the hip pocket, 
Kyerything is sacrificed to cheapness, which is the great demand of 
the buyers of this sort of weapon. If one wishes to enjoy the capital 
sport of pistol practice, suitable weapons mu t be secured, and no 
maker as yet succeeded in satisfactorily uniting compactness of 
make-up and accuracy of execution in the same revolver, }

POWDER WORKS EXPLOSION.—On Tuesday night last, the en-

shaken aa considerably alarmed by the explosion of the drying 
house of the American Wood Powder Works, located at Secaucus, on 
the line of the Erie road, a few miles back of Jersey City. Fortun- 
ately there was no loss of life, as at the time of the mishap the watch- 
man was in the boiler house near by, and escaped with a few bruises 
and braken ribs. No) catise has been assigned for the accident, as 
nothing Hmusual had been noted, and iis the expressed belief of 
those in Gharge of the works that the airair was of incendiary origin, 
There were, of course, the usual number of curious experiences” 
Which are always found in eonnection with such an event, Thos 
who heard the sharp report located it in all four quarters of the com- 
pass, and under the atmospherie conditions prevailing, the sound 
traveled much further in certain directions than in others, The works 
will be put in order immediately.

INDEPENDENT NEW YORK SCHUETZEN.—The Independent 
New York Schuetzen, Captain J. J, Diehl, numbering 110 members 
and comprising some of the leading German residents in this and 
neighboring cities, have chartered the steamship Suevia at a cost of 
$15,000, for a trip to Germany. The main object of the excursion is 
to celebrate the anniversary of the Declaration of American Inde- 
pendence, July 4, 1885, at Bingen, on the Rhine. They will leave this 
city in the firsy week of June next, sailing directly for Hamburg. 
Here the pervs will separate andits members will visié the places of 
their birth. On the Peurth of July, 1885, all will meet in Bingen when 
the residents of that little town will be treated toa genuine American 
“blow out,” after which a ‘‘Schuetzenfest” will be held, in which the 
subjects of H. R, H, Kaiser William will be invited to take part. This 
Schuetzen corps takes a yearly excursion, at the last of which, held 
at Lake George last spring, Mr. Franz Wacker, of this city, was 
crowned king, and won the gold medal from all competitors. It 
remains to be seen whether the Germans or Americans will carry off 
the honors at Bingen, Hach participant in the excursion can return 
to New York at any time within a year, The committee in charge of 
the exeursion are: Captain Diehl, H. H. Hoenack, Louis Berndt, 
Wm. V. Weber, editor of Der Freischutz, and Herman Weber. At a 
meeting held lastnight in Beethoven Mrannerchor Hall Judgé Charles 
H, Nehrbas, G. G. Wolfrom, J, H. Haar and Christopher Huepfel 
were proposed and unanimously elected members of the Schuetzen, 
A QUESTION OF CLUBS.—Bridgeport, Coun., Dec, 1.—We wish 
to be informed ona little question as to the shooting for our State 
badge. We have won the badge fourtimes this season but the other 
clubs say only three times, as the first time we entered as the Bridge- 
port Gun Olub, and the other three times as the Waldemeres, of 
Bridgeport, Now do you consider the first time no good? The same 
meén shot for it eyery time except one man, who was sick, and the 
other teams of four changed men or pub in new ones each time. 
—Hakrry Nicsors, W. G. Club, [The question of our correspondent 
is an interesting one and shows the importance of exactness and 
thoroughness in the drawing up of conditions of all matches, or at 
least the reference to some general code where all such questions are 
covered. The shoot was a club one, and the only quéstion to con- 
sider is whether the Bridgeport club became the Waldmere club. It 
could do this by formal action as a club just as any individual may 
change hisname, ‘he fact that the same men made up the team in 
each case does not affect the question at all. The firstelub may have 
died and the second may havé organized without any relationship to 
it. Insucha case the two elubs would be entirely distinct, even 
though the same men made up each. If both were mere snap” 
clubs organized for the shoot then there could be no relationship 
between them, Such questions are ska rhe Mh eoyered by clauses in 
the conditions of the match, and by ueglect the managers have 
brought this confusion upon themselves. |

and returning by another, the fare be $54, and that the rates from 
local points be made generally on the basis of one and one-quarter the 
regular first-class limited rates, for tickets going and returning by 
the same route, and one and one-half sich regular fares for tiekets 
going and returning by jdifferent routes. From the foregoing 
sportsmen will be able to arrive at an approximate estimate as to 
fares from their homes to New Orleans and return, as far as we can 
ascertain at the present time. We are of the opinion, however, that 
a material reduction will still be made—especially for periodical 
excursion trains from the larger cities of the country, From official 
data, kindly furnished us by the general passenger agents, we cull 
the following tariff of rates, the tickets being good for from 15 to 40 
days: Baltimore. Washington, Winchester, Martinsburg, Hagerston, 
Harper's Ferry, $40; Philadelphia, $42; New York, $45: Norfolk, Rich- 
mond, Petersburg, $87; Leadyille, $57.50; Salt. Lake pay $92.75; 
Topeka, Kan., $25.40; Denver, Col., $52.75; Cairo, Ill., $14; Galena, Il., 
$23.45; Dubuque, ITa,, $24.23; Utiea, N. Y., $42.50: Boston (yia Air 
Line), $56.50; Boston (Norwich Line), $51; Cincinnati, $18; Omaha, 
$27.50; Kansas City, $22.75; St. Joseph, $24.25; Cleveland, O., $25.25;
