P. P., Burlington, Vfc. — 1. A young pointer dog is troubled with sore 

 eyes. Every morning- the ball of the eye is completely covered with 

 a thick grayish discharge, and When removed a film sometimes 

 gathers over the eye so as to obstruct the light. When the eyes are 

 Mined to the light it Ban be seen Chat the whites are swollen and 

 entirely of a reddish or pinkish hue. The first tronble earue from a 

 haid cold which seemed to settle in the eyes, f have used a wash of 

 warm water and vinegar, and lately have dropped a solution of sul- 

 phate of zinc rwo or three Limes a day. The solution immediately 

 clears away (he discharge, but it returns in the night. What shall f 

 use? 2. A eoeker pup, about eight; months old. is troubled with a 

 profuse yellowish scurf over the whole body, hue chiefly on the head. 

 If combed or brushed off it returns. The. pup has been kept iu a clean, 

 cool place; his bedding, shavings, has been changed every week; he 

 has never had any meat to speak of, but lias been fed on oatmeal, 

 Indian meal and milk. Does the scurf indicate any disease of the 

 blood, and whu t should housed to remove it? Ans. 1. Yon had better 

 supplement your local treatment of your pointer's eyes with measures 

 toward the general condition. Do not teed too highly. Mush and 

 milk with occasional bits of cooked meat stirred in is' an excellent 

 diet. Keep tltehowels free. Satisfy yourself that your dog his not 

 contracted the distemper. This disease Is characterized by discharges 

 from all the mucous membranes, eyes, nose, mouth. Also loss of 

 flesh, appetite caprieous, hot nose, and fever. Iris contagious. Give 

 him also ten drops of the tincture of the chloride of iron in sweetened 

 water night and morning. You may try alum solution, ten grams to 

 the ounce of water, for the eyes. 2. The eoeker pup should get five 

 drops of Fowler's solution of arsenic in food nigut and morning, in- 

 creased after two weeks to eight drops,

THE TRAP. 



HOTEL TRAP-SHOOTING. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



While traveling last summer in the West, I found a summer resort 

 hotel in Michigan which afforded hs gaiests a new and secmm-ly 

 popular amusement in ihe shape, of trap-shooting at clay-pigeons 

 At the suggestion of some of the boarders, the hotel porter was 

 induced to buy a trap and a few pigeons, aud hire one gun, which he 

 let the guests use at a certain price per shot. He soon found it so 

 profitable that he bought several guns and more traps, finding it a 

 investment during the whole season, shooters coming from 

 all the neighboring hotels to participate. Is it not surprising tnat 

 mauy of our summer resorts have not added glass-bull and clay- 

 pigeon shooting to their old worn out list of amusements' Trie 

 investment would not be large. Say two guns at $35 each, two traps 

 at $7.S0 each, clay-pigeons at from two to two and a, half cents 

 a piece. At a charge of five cents per shot or ten shots for forty 

 corns. I have no doubt a paying business could be done, to say 

 nothing of amusement, which would be very attractive. The increas- 

 ing interest shown in trap-shooting and field sports among gentle- 

 men of the present day would soon make popular any hotel offering 

 such amusement. Many a weary day have I spent on the seashore 

 where snipe were said to frequent, waiting for the wind to blow 

 "sou'vveat." Something in thewav of trap-shotting would have been 

 a godsend. Let some of the humbugs advertising -good shooting and 

 fishing" as an inducement for people to come to their places, provide 

 clay-pigeon shooting for "off days," when the wind oon't blow iroui 

 the right quarter, and they will find then- patrons mucn happier and 

 their own pockets better piled by the experiment, Bedford.
