kept up for some weeks after apparent cure, in order to destroy- 

 all Demodex eggs which may remain; and if the attack has 

 been severe the dog v?ill require tonic remedies and careful 

 feeding for some weeks after the irruption subsides. 



In the prevention of this disease its highly contagious char- 

 acter should be remembered, and a dog with follicular mange 

 should always be isolated. As it is to some extent communi- 

 cable to the human skin, some care must be used in cleansiDg 

 the hands after handling diseased animals, though the symp- 

 toms produced in man by the Demodex are but trifling; 

 indeed, according to authorities, one individual in twenty 

 among men harbors these parasites. It. W. S. '

DEATH OF CHAMPION RUSH. 



T\7"E have received a letter from Mr. Orgill which we 

 V t publi-i below, announcing the death of champion Rush. 

 But few dogs are more widely known than Orgill's Rush. His 

 first appearance in public was at Baltimore in January, 1877, 

 where he won second in the puppv class his litter sister Rose 

 win. ling first. At the first show of the Westminster Kennel 

 Club in May, the same year, he won first in the open class for 

 dogs under rtfty-five pounds. His first champion prize was 

 won at Philadelphia, in 1879. In 1880 and 1881 he won the 

 champion prize at New York. He also won many other prizes 

 at prominent shows. 



He was also a good dog in the field, and ran twice at field 

 trials, but, was unplaced. He was used extensively in the 

 stud and leaves behind him a large number of descendants, 

 some of which have made their mark both in the field and on 

 the bench Following is Mr. Orgill's letter: 



"The Cedars. Bond's, Tenn., July 16.— Editor Forest and 

 Stream: Our old pointer dog champion Rush died this morn- 

 ing, aged 10 years and 3 months. He did not seem to have 

 any disease, but passed quietly away without suffering the 

 least pain.— Thomas Orgill."

THE ENGLISH FIELD TRIALS.— Newark, N. J., July 12. 

 Editor Forest and Stream: 1 think you have been led into 

 error about the Reynald stake of tne English National field 

 trials The Kennel Gazette record you quote is incomplete. 

 The London Field's account is very different. It says, May 1, 

 page 549: "The judges now placed Mr. D. R. Scratton's 

 Hero first in pointers; Mr. Hey wood Lonsdale's Jovial first in 

 setters, Hero also taking the honors awarded for the absolute 

 best of both varieties in the stake. As to the second best dog 

 therein, the setter Rose aud pointer Lnss of Bow ran off to 

 see which would better grace that position. The latter went 

 with all her old style, and made a fine point at the bottom of 

 the first field, and was quickly backed. Somehow or other 

 the worker of Rose made his dog raise the birds, which caused 

 the spectators to believe she had gained the point, which was 

 not the case. In another field Rose had two points, to which 

 Belle of Bow [sic] showed so much jealousy, by rushing in and 

 standing them as if they were really hers, that the judges 

 properly decided in favor of the setter." 1 think you should 

 make the record complete in Forest and Stream.— Syntax.

 correct.]

KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 



No Notice Taken of Anonymous Correspondents. 



G. J. S., Black River Falls. Wis —I have a Gordon aiid Irish setter 

 pup, bo>n in January, 1666, tbat seems to be all tight in every way 

 except his eyes. They are clear and bright, but the lowt r lids hang 

 down ana the white of the eye is more or less bloodshot all the time. 

 The pup is remarkably large for his age. and in good condition. I 

 thought at first he was going to have distemper, but he is appareutly 

 all right every other way. Can you tell me the probable cause and 



give me a remedy? The eves appear to be redder after having been 

 in water. Ans. Get a stick of blue stone (copper sulphate) and touch 

 the lower lid lightly every morning, or have a solution of zinc sul- 

 phate made of the strength of two grains to the O'mce of water, and 

 drop a few drops into the ouier corner of the eye night and morning, 

 allowing it to diffuse itself over the eyeball. 



L. D. H., Bethel, Conn —A setter has bad a slight attack of distem- 

 per; he has entirely recovered with exception of a severe twitching 

 f face and jaws. Ans. Your dog suffers from chorea, a very com- 

 mon sequel to distemper Give three drops of the following solution 

 three times daily in the food: Of strychnia sulphate, two grains; of 

 water, one ounce. Mix. After three weeks stop this and give Fow- 

 ler's solution of arsenic in four-drop doses in the food three times 

 ds?.ly. 



S. H. H.. Concord. —a se'ter had the distemper in April, from which 

 I thought he had recovered with the exception of bis eyes, in which 

 every morning there is collected quite a quantity of ibick whitMi 

 matter in the lower corners, otherwise they appear all • igbt, notse-m- 

 ing weak. About three weeks ago I noticed a few small red blotches 

 on the inside of forelegs and on breast, they have since spread and 

 have appeared on his flanks, and a few on his body. I; suppose this 

 to be red mange and have washed the affected part3 in a solution of 

 carbolic acid as recommended by Stonebenge: his coat is very bad, 

 dr* and thin, the hair falling out verv easily. He is rather thin in 

 flesh though not'particularly so. Is fed principally on boiled Indian 

 meal aud what few vegetables and scraps of meat are left from 

 table. His appetite is not very good ; but he is in good spirits and is 

 as eager for a walk in the fields as ever. Ans K>ep o» with the 

 wash and give Fowler's s lution of arsenic in four d- op doses three 

 times daily in the food. Increase the dose one drop daily up to 10 

 drops and then decrease in same way. Keep the bowels easy with 

 syrup of buckthorn in teaspoonful doses. 



Distemper —Macon, Ga.— I would like to have some of your many 

 readers try the following remedy (and report results) in any and all 

 eases where the mucous membrane is involved, as in diarrhoea, dys- 

 entery, and particularly in diste mper, viz : Sulphate of copper (blue 

 stone), dose, J4 grain for aged dogs and half the quantity for pups 8 

 weeks old. 1 have tried it twice and the result in both cases was ab- 

 solutely miraculous. The first case, a two year-old pointer, verv 

 much ja^ed and reduced from overwork, contracted distemper in its 

 worst form, given over to die. At the suggestion of a friend, gave 

 aim one dose of bluestone, the nest day he was up and lively, 

 anxious to eat, and was in the field again in one week The. other 

 case, a pup ten weeks old, the mo^t persistent aud malignant case of 

 dysentery, constant discharges of blood for four days and nights, 

 would eat, nothing, and was so reduced and weak that had no hope 

 for him; gave him tg grain, and m one hour he was anxious to eat, 

 and all discharges stopped and he was quite bun-elf again in a few 

 days. Although I had commenced with castor oil and est onseed, 

 bismuth and opium, and he continued to get worse, until I gave him 

 the blut-stone. It is efficacious in treating cholera, and the already 

 specified ills in the human family. I have been an ardent sportsman 

 for forty years, and I have derived valuable information from your 

 Kennel Management and naturally desire to contribute something in 

 return, and should the above save the life of some good dog, I shall 

 feel more than repaid for my trouble in writing. W. W. Parker. 

 [Cupric sulphate is a metal asirineent of considerable power, and is 

 often of b' nefi in diarrhoea and dysentery, and those diseases where 

 there is catarrhal relaxation of the mucous membrane of tne gastro- 

 intestinal canal. Where diarrheal and dysentery are prominent 

 symptoms in distemper— as they are in a large proportion of cases- 

 it >■ ccs very well. Alone it would not cure the disease, but the step- 

 ping of exhausting evacuations is a verv important element in the 

 therapy of &ny disease of this nature. Forest anu Stream has ad- 

 vised it in cases in the past ]

HIGH TRAJECTORY. 



Editor Forest and Stream; 



In your issue of June 17, "Archimedes" gives your readers an ex- 

 ample in high mathematics. The paragraph has just come under my 

 eye, and I venture in a crude and hasty manner to take issue with 

 "Archimedes" in his conclusions. Tne proposition is that if a rifle is 

 fired from an elevation of say 20,000 feet above the earth's surface, 

 vertically toward the earth, the prepelling force will be exhausted 

 and the speed of the bullet will decrease until, at some point in its 

 downwardflight.it will acquire precisely the same velocity that it 

 would if diopped from the hand at the same elevation; and that it 

 will reach the ground with the same velocity as if dropped f ron. the 

 hand I fancy that "Archimedes" has overlooked some factors that 

 will greatly disturb his results. When a bullet is fired horizontally 

 near the earth's surface, there are two force* which oppose its flight 

 and diminish its velocity in a progressive ratio every successive mo- 

 ment until it is brought to a stop on the ear h's surface These are 

 gravity and atmospheric resistance. If there were no atmosphere or 

 other meoium through which it passed of a material nature, the bul- 

 let would trivel further, but finally come to the ground from the 

 force of gravity. 



If the' e were no gravity the bullet would finally come to a stand in 

 the air, in the same horizontal line upon which it started. If there 

 were neither gravity nor atmospheric resistance, the bullet would 

 continue through all eternity, upon the same line and wi*h the same 

 velocity whh which it started. There is no such thing as exhausting 

 the p-opelling force unless there is some opposing force to exhaust 

 it. The force of gravity is greater than the atmospheric res stance, 

 as evidenced by the fact that any body, heavier than air, even a 

 feather, will finally reacn the ground when dn pprd. A bullet fired 

 fi om a high elevation toward the earth will encounter very rarifled 

 atmosphere, offering but little resistance during the first part of its 

 flight. The force of gravity plus the propelling Jorce, will be resisted 

 slighily by the rarifled afnosphere. The velocity of the bullet will 

 be increased, not diminished. It will reach the earth with the -reloeiy 

 due to gravity minus the atmospheric resistance, that is. the same as 

 if dropped from the hand, plus the initial velocity due to the propell- 

 ing force. Coahoma. 



Memphis, Tenn. 



NEWARK, July 17.— The rifle match of 100shotseach at the German 

 ring target, as noticed in the Forest ano Stream of last week, came 

 off with much enthusiasm at Union Hui, N. J., this afternoon. 25 con- 

 testants paid an entrance fee of $5 each, an.i began the nrst of a 

 series of 3 contests for a solid silver cup. Mr. Wm Hayes, with his 

 muzzle-loader was the winner of the cup witn the nice score of 

 2196. The next contest will take place at Newark. N. J , Aug. 7. The 

 i ntrance fees were divided into $10 prizes and distributed to the 12 

 highest scoies, all the shooters used the heavy German rifles with 

 hair triggers, except Capt. Farrow and Mr. Gunther, who shot with 

 101b. rifles and 31b trigger pull. Capt. farrow's scon of 2116 is the 

 highest on record for rifles under the rules of the National Rifle As- 

 sociation. It is noticeable that the flist five winner- are all members 

 ot the Ztttler rifle team of New York city ; tht follow ing are the scores 

 in series of ten shots:
