("> No Notice Taken of Anonymous Correspondents. 
PF. W. F., Westboro, Mass.—My Hneglish setter dog is greatly 
troubled with lice. Ans. Wash your dog thoroughly with carbolic 
soap, and continue to do so until the vermin disappear. 
J. A, B,, Flatlands, L. 1—A pointer puppy bas byo claws on his 
hind legs abouta half inch above his feet. What shall Ido about 
them? Ans. Yon may leave them or cut them off close to the skin. 
They are unusnalin pointers but willdo no harm. They are called 
double dew claws. 
A. §., Ogdensburg, N. ¥.—A deerhonnd puppy is mich troubled 
with lies, Sheis kept clean and has good airy quarters and clean 
food, Bed. straw, changed twice a week. Have washed her with 1n- 
fusion of quassia which don’t seem to have any effect on them. Ans. 
Wash your dog thoroughly twice a week with carbolic soap and scrub 
the kennel with a fiyé per cent. solution of carbolic acid, 
M. M., Nesquehoning, Pa,—A foxhound is continually annoyed 
with some sori, of an iteh on herlegs and her whole belly, It first 
appeared about six weeks azo on the elbows in raw red spots and 
then spread back along her whole belly and on the inside of her hind 
legs. and itis now down to her knees on the outside. She is continu- 
ally scratching herself until the blood runs, Whatshall I do? Ans. 
Wash all the atfected parts with warm water and castile or sulphur 
soap, then dry the parts and rub in some ointment of the oxide of 
zine which you can procure at any druggist’s. Continue this treat- 
ment at least once a day and you will soon see an improyement. 
E. 8. L., Danvers, Mass.—The end of a setter’s tail has the hair all 
off, and itia raw all the time. Heleeps licking it, I have washed it 
off with ecastile soap and water, then put mutton tallow on a cloth 
and done it up in cloth to keep bim from licking it, but it dors not 
seem to do itany good. Ans. After cleansing the partcarefully with 
warm water and castile orsulphur soap, and having clipped the hair 
for an inch or more beyond the sore, apply some ointment of the bal- 
sam of Pern, which is made of vaseline and the balsam. You can 
protect the part with the thumb of a leather or buckskin glove, with 
tape or strings attached on either side. See that the dog does not 
bite or serateh it off during the day, and you may hobble and muzzle 
him at night. 
L. A, K., Philadetphia.—A setter dog, fifteen months old, is so thin 
that you can count the bones of his body; hair yery rough, nose hot 
and dry; runs at the eyes; has no appetite, but drinks a little milk; 
bas had worms, but is rid of them now: has small passages, takes 
short naps, and breathes heavily while asleep, Ans. Your dog prob- 
ably has distemper. Giye him a tablespoonful of castor oil and re- 
peat until he has two or three free movements of the bowels. Mix a 
teaspoonful of salt with the food night and morning. Feed on mush 
with a little cooked lean meat mixed through it. Keep dog alone in 
eoo] dry place, and still watch for worms, You may also pet some 
three-grain quinine pillsand give the dog one thrse times daily. 
Please report result, 
_ Worcester, Mass.—A pointer bitch, seven months old, sometimes 
has to be coased to eat anything. I feed cakes made of oat, rye, 
Indian and wheat flour alternately, also give milk and water, and oc- 
casionally a little cooked meat, potato and other vegetables. The 
bitch is poor and don’t seem to grow as large as she ought. Sheis 
lively and aside from her poor appetite and thinness is well. [thought 
she might have worms but tried remedies withoubreward. Ans. Your 
method of feeding is excellent and the poor appetite of the bitch is 
most lixely dependent at this time upon the approach of puberty and 
the development of the generative powers, Give her tonic and stim- 
ulating diet. You might try five-drop doses of Fowler’s solution of 
arsenic in the food twice daily. 
W. P. K., Corsicana, Texas.—I have a smajl-sized kennel and would 
like to have you make mention of my distemper cure, as it will be of 
freat benefit to all breeders and owners of fine dogs. I have cured 
fourteen cases this fall and seven last season and have neyer lost a 
single pup ordog. Fora dog I give a tablespoonful of fine table salt 
once a day for three days and it will cure the worst case on record, 
and for pups half the quantity. Ans, The chloride of sodium is anti- 
septic and slightly astringent and a good local application in all cases 
of catarrh, Distemper being a specific disease and affecting the 
constitution more than an ordinary catarrh, should be treated not 
only with local remedies, such as salt, powdered alum, or powdered 
sulphate of quinine, but also with tonics and alteratives, as iron, 
arsenic, and so on, and with bland diet and absolute cleanliness. See 
next issue of paper, 
A. 0. K., Wrizhtsville, Pa.—A bitch between four and five years 
old had a slight ease of mange, also seemed troubled with canker, I 
first cured her of the mange and then upon examining her ears, | 
found no inflammation, no soreness to the touch, nor the least erup- 
tion, yet she shook her head asif suffering from real canker, and 
would seratch her ears. I washed ears carefully and applied bromo 
ehloralline, laudanum and water, but failed to relieve her. She still 
strikes and scratches her ears, but they are as before—clean, notscre 
orinflamed, She has voracious appetite, but keeps rather poor in 
tiesh. She was very much out of condition when I purchased her, 
and has picked up some, but not enough to make her look in as good 
a condition as some of my other dogs. Ans. Geb an ear sponge, and 
after cleansing part, apply on sponge some glycerite of tannin of the 
strength of one-half a dram of tannin‘to the ounce of glycerine. Do 
this night and morning: as a tonic we would recommend Fowler's 
solution of arsenic, five drops night and morning with the food, 
F. H., Brattleboro, Vermont.—A hound now eight years old, until 
within three months has been in perfect health. When I go into the 
woods to hunt him, after trailing a hare from three to five hours, he 
will have a fit which lasts from three to five minutes,and when he 
comes to himself is so weak be cannot stand, his eyes are green and 
he foams at the mouth more or less. He has a running sore in his 
head which makes him very deaf and it discharges a black matter 
and has a bad smell, About three years ago he was hit by a man 
across the small of his back but was lame for a short time and from 
all appearances was allright. Ans. You probably keep the dog in 
chain during the close season, and very likely you feed him well and 
he becomes fat, perhaps constipated. Then you start out to hunt for 
some hours and feed the doz raw meat. At his age this is too much 
for him and he has snecessive attacks of apoplexy or congestion of 
the brain, We have observed it often under the above conditions. If 
this is the case with your hound, you must feed him less raw meat 
and not. work him too hard, At eight years of e a dog is past his 
prime. If your dog is very fat this is doubtless the trouble. During 
the time he is not working feed on very little cooked meat but give 
him mush, milk, a few bones, andso on, Wash the sore with warm 
ane and castilesoap, and dress with ointment of the balsam of 
eru 
B. Z.S., Portland, Me.—A pug suckling seven puppies (now twelve 
days old has caught the distemper by contact with a seven months 
old pup, that caught it at the doz show recently. She coughs quite 
violently (without throwing up her food), and hasa diarrhosa, for

THE BEST BORE FOR CLAY-PIGEONS. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
I haye been interested in the remarks on the best ‘“‘bore for clays” 
in the Jate numbers of the Porrst AND STREAM, and as the 10-bore 
men have pretty well advocated their favorite weapon, I thinka 
word for the 12 gauge will not be amiss. J have been pleased to note 
a general inclination toward smaller bores for game shooting, but in 
trap-shooting, in New Hngland at least,there has been a decided 
movement in the other direction. The cause for this is very plain. 
When the trap-shooting was confined to glass balls as it was a year 
or two ago, you would have seen as many 12’s in the gunracks at the 
tournaments as there were 10’s, but with the advent of the clay- 
pigeon came a change, the birds were harder to break than glass, and 
besides they were thrown all outgoers or nearly so, while the balls 
were thrown from rotary traps; those few owning cannons now were 
happy, while the light gun men, seeing themselves at a disadvantage, 
also went in for cannons, so at the tournament of the N. H. Trap 
Shooters Association last month, held at Boston, a 12-bore was 
an exception, and they were conspicuous by their absence. 
My gun, an 84 pound i2?-gauge, looked like a baby in the 
rack with the 1044 and 11-pound guns, although it seemed heavy 
enough to me, and I have been shooting in the brush all the fall with 
a 614- pound, 16-gauge. Now I think that a 12-gauge gun, if itis held 
straight, will break as many clay-pigeons asa 1g proviging the weight 
is there to stand heavy charges of powder, and [ believe it nonsense 
to handicap the bore of guns without limiting the weight. Tf the bore 
of a fun alone is handicapped, it will be no rare sight to see 16 gauge 
guns weighing 10 pounds at the traps loaded with 5 drams of powder, 
which would scarcely be any improvement over the present rules, 
T hope, however, to see the trap-shooters of this country agree upon 
some common standard of weight of gunsfor trap-shooting, say 8 
pounds or #4 pounds; then if a man wished to shoot. occasionally 
from the trap, he would not need a special gun for that purpose. [ 
think if guns were limited to 8 pounds, thatthere would benofurther 
need of limiting the bores or the charge of powder, as these would 
limit themselves. In conclusion, if I have not trespassed too far upon 
your valuable space, [ would say that I do not think that a poor shot 
using 4 heavy gun can always beat a good shot using a light one, but 
if the skill is even the big guns will come out ahead.

ively aid any organization which may undertake to do so, It is

hird—To organize in addition, three or more interstate tourna- 
ments ab yarious principal cities annually. Said company to be or- 
ganized under the laws of Kentucky (no liability beyond the amonut 
originally subscribed). The capital stock to be divided into 500

apublic match and againstan old veteran pigeon shooter, and he 
might, with the large crowd assembled, have been more or less 
nervous. The contestants have both high reputations in fleld sports.

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Dec, 27.—Christmas was spent in our quiet 
city by the “boys” in shooting clay-pigeons, etc. Very few were in 
the wonds, the snow being too deep. At the grounds of the New ~ 
Haven Gun Club the members had their annual shoot. Dr. Carver, 
who is staying in the city, was present, and consented to take partin 
the match and was placed on both sides. As usual with the Doctor, 
il seemed asif he took no pains to sither aim or hit, but broke the 
pigeons just the same. Several times he flred one barrel in the air 
und broke with the other. The wind was very strong and cold, and 
the scores made were not as good as usual. Below we give them:
