KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 

 K^*" No Notice Taken of Anonymous Correspondents. 



W. M. C, Hartford, Conn.— Give nourishing food and plenty of 

 exercise. 



E. V. L., New York.— Let her have her own way, do not encourage 

 or restrain her. 



M. N. F., Foxhurgh, Pa.— The breeding of the dam is good, we 

 know nothing of the sire. We do not know the gentleman you 

 mention. 



S. W. E., Weldon, N. C— Mv setter puppy has good appetite, good 

 coat, hut his eyes are quite red, and the lids are very much swollen 

 at the corners. I have tried several eye washes, but with no good 

 result. Ans. Try the following: Acetate of lead, five or ten grains; 

 laudanum, one drachm; rose water, two ounces. Drop two or three 

 drops in the eyes twice daily. Satisfy yourself that the general con- 

 dition of the puppy is good. 



W. K. P.. Athens, Pa.— What, shall 1 do for a wart on the tongue of 

 an eight-months-old pup? The wart is white, and seems to be grow- 

 ing. Ans. Get a stick of nitrate of silver and apply freely over the 

 surface of the wart everyday. Pure nitric acid is quicker. It should 

 be applied by means of a pine stick, match or toothpick. In using 

 the acid care should be taken not to allow any drops to fall on tongue 

 or throat, as it is very corrosive. 



J. F. I.— My setter dog, three years old, was taken last summer 

 with some kind of skin disease, which I thought was the mange. I 

 Med Glenn's sulph r soap and Glover's mange cure; neither of them 

 did any good. He has commenced to dig and bite himself (his spring 

 just the same. What shall I do? Ans. Wash the affected parts care- 

 fully with carbolic soap, and after drying applv with your hands the 

 oxide of zinc ointment, rubbing it gently into the skin. Give the dog 

 five drops of Fowler's solution of arsenic morning and evening in his 

 food. 



W. C. W., Titusville, Pa.— A cocker pup, 5 months old, is troubled 

 with lameness in front for nearly a month past I cannot locate it 

 exactly, for it does not seem always in same leg. He has no external 

 sore, and he does not flinch on examination. It is better at times, 

 and sometimes wholly disappears. Pup sleeps in dry shavings in 

 dry cellar, has been kept indoors a great deal— quite a hou«e pet. 

 What is the best work on general management and training of dogs? 

 Ans. Yourpuppv has rheumatism in all probability. Give him ten 

 drops of the iodide of iron, morning and evening. Keep his bowels 

 easy, and feed nutritiously, but not too stimulating diet. Ham- 

 mond's "Training vs. Breaking" is the best hook on that subject. 

 Hill's "Diseases and Management of the Dog" is a good book. 



Beauty, Newark, N, J.— My dog is an Italian greyhound, the hair 

 on her back is very short and thin, has been so for a year or so. I 

 took her to a dog fancier and he said it has not the mange, hut gave 

 me a preparation to rub her with; it has not done her any good. 

 There is growing on her back, about a finger's length from the tail, a 

 lump, it looks like a tumor. It is almost the size of a hazel nut. and 

 disfigures her very much. Ans. To keep the skin in gc.od condition a 

 certain amount of grooming is necessary. Fowler's solution of 

 arsenic in five or ten drop doses in the food is an excellent internal 

 skin medicine. Extreme applications cf the most service are car- 

 bolic salve or soap, or the ointments of zinc oxide or lead. The swell-

S. V. S., Troy. N. Y.— An Irish setter bitcb, nine months old, always 

 been perfectly well aud full of life, fed mainly on meal. Five weeks 

 ago she did not eat as heartily as usual, and whimpered a little when 

 she opened her jaws. This continued for two or three weeks. Two 

 weeks ago we noticed a bunch on herface aboutas large as a medium- 

 sized egg just where the jaws hinge together. She *till whines when 

 she opens her mouth, and refuses anything but soft food. The bunch 

 is hard, like bone, and is not at all sensitive to the touch, but the 

 bitch will not permit her mouth to be opened. She never opens her 

 mouth more than three-quarters of an inch. Her general health is 

 perfectly good, and she is always in high spirits except when eating. 

 Ans. It seems as though your dog bad either broken her jaw close to 

 the articulation, or what is more probable, she has a synovitis or in- 

 flammation of the joint on that side. You had better cut or shave 

 the hair from a space an inch to an inch and a half square. To this 

 apply a coating of cantharides and collodion. After the blister has 

 formed apply a hot flaxseed poultice. You can keep it on by a muz- 

 zle. It will be three or four hours before a blister forms.

RANGE AND GALLERY. 



LITTLE BULLETS AND BIG SHOTS.-In looking over the col- 

 umns of Forest and Stream for a small cartridge with penetrating 

 power and accuracy, and I found the very article in the shape of the 

 conical bullet caps, which for target practice cannot be excelled, 

 even at a 75ft. range they are the article to be used, as I have now 

 several bullets taken from a 2in. pine board at 75ft., and they settled 

 lJAin. below the surface of the board, and took quite a time to get 

 out, and with the exception of a little flattening they almost retain 

 their natural form. Another cartridge worthy of notice is the ,22-cali- 

 ber long rifle cartridge, and as I have used a good many cartridges 

 of every variety and of different makes, I ought to know whe»eof I 

 write, and having given the above named cartridges a most thorough 

 and rigid test, I recommend them to all who use bullet caps or car- 

 tridges either for target or for the field. I have made several re- 

 maruable shots, one at long range and the other was not quite so far. 

 The first shot was this: I caught one day a large rat in a wire trap, 

 and not knowing in what way to dispose of the rodent, when my 

 friend Steve C. suggested that we shoot it. I got the rifle and loaded 

 it with a .22 long rifle cartridge, took aim and fired the bullet, passing 

 through the rodent's body and lin. below the surface of a lj^in. 

 plank at 90ft., the plank being 2>£ft. away from the rat. This was 

 not such a remarkable shot, but it showed the penetrating power of 

 the bullet. Another one which might be termed a remarkable shot 

 is this: There being a number of large rats about our stable, it being 

 over a creek, I saw two rats on the stone wall each presenting a fine 

 target about 6in. apart, but on a direct line opposite each other. I 

 aimed at the one nearest me and fired, when to my surprise both 

 tumbled in the water with a splash, and on investigation it showed 

 that the bullet passed through the neck of the firsc, glanced along 

 the stone and hit the other in the body.— Kuix (Pottsville, Pa.,
