KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 



No Notice Taken of Anonymous Coi-respondents. 



0. F. P., San Francisco.— 1. My setter dog, 2yrs. old, pas.ses more or 

 less blood in his urine. Generally on voiding his bladder (which 

 he does freely and with perfect ease— no straining) the first few 

 drops, more or less, are blood, followed by clear and healthy ap- 

 pearing urine. This has been going on for about a year. Dog 

 otherwise in perfect health and can do a hard day's work in the 

 ticld or follow my buggy 20 miles without trouble. Please pre- 

 scribe. 2. Can a puppy of 4:mos. (not beef -fed) develop canker in 

 the ear? Mine has all the sjTuptons aud I am treating him for 

 canker. Ans. 1. Your dog seems to have inflammation of the neck 

 af the bladder, prostate gland or urethra. Give a gelatine capsule 

 containing 10 drops of balsam of copaiba three times daily. You 

 may conceal the capsule in a bit of meat. 2. Yes. Try the bromo- 

 chloral and lavidanum treatment, a drachm each of bromo-chloral 

 and of laudanum and six drachms water. Mix. Drop in ear twice 

 daily. 



New Postal Law— Of Interest to Farmebs.— Tlie new law 

 permitting t]\e sending of small quantities of fluids by mail is of 

 wide value to the people at large. It is in the direction of the mod- 

 ern tendencies of trade which, while it centralizes tue manirfac- 

 ture in the best possible form, brings its results to every man's 

 door at the lowest possible price. England lias gone very far in 

 this direction, peraiitting packages of even eleven pounds' weight 

 to be sent by post, while our limit is yet four pounds. Tlie admis- 

 sion of fluids under certain restrictions is anotlier step in advance. 

 Until now, such packages could only be sent by express, and Hum- 

 phreys' Homeopathic Medicine Co. have been obliged for twenty 

 years past to require an order of at least $5 in order to send, free 

 of charge, their invaluable Veterinary Specifics and Witch Hazel 

 Oil to customers. They now olfer to send them in any quantity to 

 any address on receipt of the price. Thus the tendency of modern 

 trade is everywhere to bring tlie manufacturer or producer and 

 the consumer ijractically face to face. Every man thus has in 

 practice the best medicine, dry good or book store in the country 

 at his own post office. — Ado.

BOSTON, Oct. 16.— The rifle matches during the past week have 

 been well attended. The windy weather has tended to lower the 

 averages of the scores. J. Monroe was so fortunate as to make a 

 clean 100 in the rest match and did it under harder conditions than 

 such scores are usually miide. After tliis date the Thursday 

 match day will be discontinued, but beginning with Oct. 27, the 

 range will be open for the regular rifle matches every other W cd- 

 nesday— alternating with the shotgun men. This arrangement 

 will continue until further notice. Following are the best scores

FINE PISTOL WORK.— For several years past rifle shooting 

 has been a populai' pastime. Perhaps, as an innovation, the pistol, 

 "the American weapon," tis an Englishman once descri bed it, may 

 supplant the rifle for home practice, for winter shooting and for 

 town practice. On the 15th inst. Mr. Ira Paine, a gentleman not 

 unknow^n as an expert with the revolver, gave an exhibition of his 

 skill with the weapon at Walnut Hill. He used the ordinary 

 pattern of the U. S. A. revolver, .-t4-cal., GJ-iin. barrel, and he fired 

 100 shots, off-hand, distance .50yds., at tlie American standard 

 target, ^Vlth which all riflemen are familiar. For the benefit of 

 the uninitiated, it may be said that the bullseye is a lilack spot 

 8in. in diameter. Out of ICO shots Mr. Paine sent a ball tlirough 

 the bullseye 63 times. With two exceptions every shot \\'as within 

 7in. of the "dead center." He made on 10 strings of 10 shots each, 

 in about 50 minutes of time, an aggregate of 791 points in a possible 

 1,000. He predicted that he would make 795, and he nearly reached 

 the estimate. The weather conditions were, on the whole, un- 

 favorable, particularly so far as variable wind and changing light 

 were concerned. The exhibition was given in the presence of 

 some 100 gentlemen, mostly familiar with gunpowder, several 

 ladies, who were not adverse to the odor of its smoke, and under 

 the direction of Mr. A. C. Gould, editor of the RiJIc. There may 

 be called, before long, a meeting of gentlemen who think they 

 will be plea,sed to indulge in pistol practice, with the idea of foi-m- 

 ing a club. Mr. Paine's scores, made under conditions above men- 

 tioned, are appended:
