 daily. Inhalations of carl mlic acid solution (teaspoonful to the pint 

 of water) are very beneflt.'ial, ijninine and iron are called for during 

 convalescence. 



T. H. M.— I have a thoroughbred mastiff eighteen months old which 

 has never been taught any thing, but has picked up some bad habits, 

 as running away ji.nd killiner fowls. Is it too late to teach him v and 

 if not. how shall i set about It'.' Is I liere an,y manual of dop: training? 

 Ans. We could not tell you, iiiiless we knew more particular.s, how 

 to keej) the dop at houie! To break him of chicken-killing, take him, 

 holding by a .strong cord, into the chicken yard, and every time he 

 breaks for a hen pidl hiin back and explain to him that he is doing 

 wrong, and then punish him after the style set forth on page 68 of 

 Hammond's "Training vs. Brealdng." 



J. W. H., Philadelphia, Pa.— Setter sixteen mouths old, slobbers 

 very much and has done so some ten months. Is very thin because 

 of fi^rd work, and poor feed, I think, while in lirealcer's hands, where 

 he still is. Healib appears good in other respects, a piietite like a 

 buzz saw when 1 last saw him. If dangerous dru;rs ai-c requii-ed to 

 effect a cure pei haps I had better let him alone. Ills coat is not very 

 bright in appearaiiee, but there is now no trace of mange, of which 

 he was cured some moiillis ago, by Glovei-'s preparation and Fowler's 

 solution. Ans. Ton can give eight drops of tincture of belladonna 

 morning and evening in the food with safety, and probably it will 

 effect a cure. 



J. McK., Ogdensburg, N. Y,— Be so kind as to inform me if there is 

 any treatment that will insure a crop of hair over a scald. My setter 

 has been scalded across the top of his shoulders and back by hot 

 water, and the skin is now in scabs covering suppuration, the liair 

 still adhering. The scald was given about ten clays since! Advise 

 me, if you can, without referring me to books or treatises on t he sub- 

 ject, for I am in a hurry to save the animal's coat. Ans. If the scald 

 is deep and has destroyed the hair follicles, they will not be repro- 

 duced, but a scar will alwaj's disfigiirc the dog;' but unless the scald 

 is very severe the hair will grow ,agaiu. Tlie best dressing for a heal- 

 ing idcer after burns is balsam of Peru ointment, which should be 

 applied thickly onajiiece of lint and laid on the wound, after remov- 

 ing scabs and cleansing with warm water and caatile soap. 



0. N., Savannah, Ga,— I lost a litter of line pups by worms, They 

 w-ere born Oct. 7. On Oct. 38 they were whining, as if in pain. I gave 

 them a dose of castor oil and ten drops of laudanum. Next morning 

 foiu- of tbeni were dead, and I gave the other two another dose; they 

 could not swaUow it, something seemed to be in fheu- throat. I dis- 

 sected the dead ones and found them full of worms, and several in 

 their throat. These pups were only twenty-one da^ s old and never 

 had anything but their mother's milk. They were ihie looking and 

 very fat. Does any one know how they got worms t Ans. Your 

 puppies were born with the worms probably. It is verv difficult in 

 such cases to save them. It is also impossible to say how the eggs of 

 the worms got into the puppies, the mother bemg healthy. Had you 

 given small doses (five grains) of areca root or some other vermifuge 

 you might have saved the strongest puppies, though the risk in giving 

 such medicine is very great.

 The gold medal to the best marksman was won by Corporal Brown- 

 ing, of the same team, with a score of 45 out of a possible .50. The 

 rank of the teams was obiained by adding the totals made by each 

 team at both ranges and dividing the sum by eight, I he number of 

 men in each t.caui. This gave the average shooting of each man. 

 Thus determined, the match has resulted in a clean victoiy for the 

 Western Maryland boys, the four first teams coming from that sec- 

 tion. The following is a list of the teams and their averages in the 

 order of rank: 1. Easter Flowers. 41%; 3. Independents, 39i/g; 3.

 31%; 9. Howard, 28; II), Mountain City, 21%. The '"aggregate" is 

 the sum of the totals made by each man on both days at the 100-yard 

 and the 200-yard range, with a possible .50 of 5 shots at each distance. 

 Of the ten medals olf ei-ed by the State, for the best aggregate in each 

 team, one is of gold and the rest ai'e silver. The design is a large

BOSTON, Nov. 28.— The shooters in the matches at Walnut Hill 

 had a perfect day for their sport to-day. There was a good attend- 

 ance, and some very remarkable scores were made. D. L. Chase 

 made a clean score of 100 in the rest match, and J. Francis, with an 

 open-sight military rifle, made a 95, followed by a 92 and a 90. His

 a military open-sight rifle. H. Gushing scored a 49 in the Creedmoor 

 practice match. Following is the record of the day's shoot:

Corre-Hpondents who favor its with club scores are particularly r«

CARTERET GUN CLUB.-A large delegation of the members of 

 the Cfirteret Gun Club participated in the annual Thanksgiving Day 

 pigeon shoot at the club grounds near Bergen Point, N. J. Although 

 the grounds were somewhat wet, the weather was good for tbe sTiort, 

 with a fresh breeze that had a tendency to make a majority of the 

 birds incoming quarterers to tbe left or direct incomers. The shooting, 

 as a whole, was scarcely up to the club's standard, except as between 

 Messrs. Redmond and Wallace— the former losing his first bird dead 

 a few inches out of the bounds at score, while Mr. Wallace k-illerl his 

 first eight and missed his ninth, which made the result a tin bei ween 

 them on the tenth bird. In shooting off the "miss andont.' Blr. 

 Redmond missed a fast quarterer to the loft and Mr. Wallace killing 

 an incomer, it made him the winner of the first prize, a copper and 

 silver cup, leaving the second prize, a clock set in armor and antique 

 weapons, to .vir. Redmond. The conditions and full score were as 

 follows: Handicap shoot at 10 birds each, three misses out; ties, miss 

 and out; 50yds, boundary; entrance, $5 each. Referees, Messrs. Hoev
