KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 

 No Notice Taken of Anonymous Correspondents. 



E. R. P., Providence.— Irish setter four months, keeps up a con- 

 tinued scratching and bis legs and belly look badly. Ans. Give 3 

 drops of Fowler's solution of arsenic morning and evening m the 

 food. Give svrup of buckthorn in half teaspoouful doses to keep 

 the bowels free and set the following: 

 R. TJng. zinc oxid. 



L'ng. diachylon aajl 



Mix. Sig. To be gently rubbed in once daily. 

 J. W. G., Providence— My Irish setter bitch, 4mos. old, is 

 troubled with a skin disease. All over the belly and on the under 

 part of the legs are small red pimples, some of which come to a 

 head forming matter. She is now shedding teeth and coat. Ans. 

 Keep her bowels open by giving syrup of ouck thorn in half tea- 

 spoonful closes. Get the following: 

 li Ung. zinc oxid. 



Ung. diachylon 4a 5 1 



Mix. Sig. External. Apply night and morning after washing 

 and drying. 



Watiben, Hartford.— Last year an Irish setter pup had the 

 mange. 1 kept him five or six months trying to cure him, hut 

 onlv siu'ceeried in cheeking the disease. The dog all the while had 

 full run ol the vard. I got a pup on Aug. 8 this year, and this one 

 has just begun to show signs of mange. Did it get it from the 

 first dog, and if so what can I do to kill the germ from around the 

 premises, and what can I do for the pup, which is about eleven 

 weeks old? Ans. You can disinfect your yard by sprinkling Piatt's 

 chloride about, using a small sprinkler. Keep the puppy on rather 

 low diet and see that the bowels are free. Give three drops of 

 Fowler's solution of arsenic, morning and evening in the food. 



N. G. P., Epping, N. H.— St. Bernard bitch, thirteen months old, 

 eyes are quite red and discharge a yellowish matter ; is weak in 

 h'cr back and has been troubled with fits for six months. She has 

 never shed her puppy teeth and I am going to have the front ones 

 extracted, will the permanent ones come at her age? Do you 

 think they have been the cause of her sickness ? Ans. We doubt 

 the advisability of extracting the teeth. Your bitch has probably 

 had a bad case'of distemper. Get the following : 



R. Syr. ferri quin. et strychnin . phosphat S vi. 



Sig. A teaspoonful three times daily. 



The improvement will be gradual. Keep the bowels open and 

 sponge the eyes with borax, glycerine and water.

THE DOMINION WIMBLEDON. 



OTTAWA, Sept. 3.— The meeting of the Domiuion Rifle Associa- 

 tion closed to-day, and the plum of the Canadian Wimbledon 

 meeting, the National Rifle Association badge and $250, goes to 

 Toronto this year, and the fortunate bearer of it is Private W. S. 

 Duncan, of the Queen's Own. The day set apart for shooting for 

 the Governor-General's prize opened inauspiciously. There was a 

 mist around the targets and leaden skies overhead. The mist 

 cleared away later on, but rain continued to threaten, and before, 

 noon it descended pretty sharply. But before that time the name 

 of the winuer was known. The contest proceeded with perfect 

 regularity, and it was not until the final stage was reached that 

 anvtUiug' like excitement began to be manifested. Then Lieut. 

 Chamberlin, of the 43d Ottawa, finished with 91, and everybody 

 congratulated him. He was the winner for sure. But another 

 man. Mitchell, was creeping up, and his final shot, a bullseye, 

 placed him one point ahead of Chamberlin. The last men were at 

 the targets and the crowd of spectators clustered around. Dun- 

 can had been scoring well, and when the lookers-on totalled up his 

 five shots they saw that if he maintained his good shooting he 

 would stand pretty well on the list. Duncan had one more shot to 

 fire when the news was brought him how Chamberlin and Mitchell 

 had scored. A bullseye would place Duncan first, and one caa 

 conceive what a tension there must have been on his nerves at 

 that moment. With a peculiar sensation pervadiug his frame, 

 Duncan placed his last cartridge in the breech, closed the breech 

 with a snap, and then stretched himself out. The spectators held 

 their breath. Duncan took careful aim, the trigger was pulled 

 and the bullet went whizzing toward the target. Down went the 

 target— a hit sure! But what sort of one? Slowly rising from the 

 ground appeared the white disc indicating a bullseye. making 

 Duncan's score 93. Then what a shout went up! How they 

 cheered and congratulated him! And certainly he deserved it, for 

 never man kept his nerves steadier and struggled better for the 

 prize. 



This was the final match of the meeting. The returns were 

 handed into the statistical officers and the aggregates were made 

 up, the highest twenty being the Wimbledon team for next year— 

 that is, if they all elect to go. In the event of any declining, the 

 next men in rotation will be invited to fill the gaps.

THE MASSACHULETTS TEAM. — The adjutant-general has 

 issued orders to the militia of the State, giving permission for a 

 team to attend the Croedmoor meeting and take part in the Inter- 

 state match on Sept. 17. Col. H. T. Rockwell, inspector-general 

 of rifle practice, will select, organize and take command of the 

 team. For each officer and man upon the team, allowance will 

 be made for transportation and expenses not exceeding $40. which 

 shall be in full for all services. The members of the team have 

 been hard at work and have made brilliant records. On Thurs- 

 day last eight members of the team shot at Walnut Hill and made 

 the following records. Where two scores were made the totals 

 and average are given and the last column shows the general 

 average of the whole:

SELF-REGISTERING TARGET. 



THE present arrangement of the targets on a rifle range is a 

 very crude one. Whether the iron slab, against which the 

 bullets impact, er a canvas screen, through which the bullets pass, 

 be used, the whole construction is far from modern. It is slow in 

 action, not over sure in results, and above all, even with every 

 possible precaution, very far from safe. 



The marker is an evil, and not by any means a necessary evil, 

 aud it is more than surprising that among the rush of inventions 

 which have been made on matters connected with the art of rifle 

 shooting, a greater share of attention has not been paid to the 

 construction of a target which should be all tha,t the inventive 

 talent of to-day ca.n put into such a device. 



Mechanical targets have been constructed, but they are not sat- 

 isfactory. Where they depend upon the power generated by the 

 blow of the bullet to start the recording mechanism, there is apt 

 to be entirely too much force when a big550gr. bullet comes along, 

 sent by a charge of 120grs. of powder, and quite too little power to 

 work the movable plates when the ping of a lOgr. bullet, driven by 

 lOgrs. of powder, falls upon the target. 



A target which can be riddled by the missiles will soon be a use- 

 less mass of broken mechanism, while on the other hand it must 

 be sensitive enough to catch the record of every shot fired at and 

 touching the target. Cheapness and durability are of course 

 necessary factors in the coming target. 



Electricity was soon thought of by those who were working at 

 the target problem, as long ago as 1862. Frederick N. Gisborne, 

 an English engineer, displayed at the Crystal Palace exhibition a 

 device for recording the shots upon a target, of which electricity 

 was an important accent. The exhibit won a certificate from a 

 committee of examiners to the effect that 6,000 shots had b<>en fired 

 and recorded without an error. It was, however, a complicated, 

 and worse still, a costly affair, and did not come into general use. 



In this country the subject has been an inviting one and lias 

 caught the attention of some very clever mechanicians. Lieut. F. 

 Jarvis Patten, U.S.A., has been one of these, and his apparatus 

 seems to fulfil all the requisite conditions of durability, sensitive- 

 ness.cheapness and simplicity. The cut shows an army target.uiade

up of fifteen separate plates. The number is a very convenient 

 one, as it permits about all the subdivision of shots which the 

 armv marksmen care for. It notes the "line" shots and the good 

 "elevation" shots, while in the outer space the corner shots are 

 given separate plates. The next practical question was to find 

 just how few signals or circuits were necessary to transmit the 

 record of these fifteen plates to the annunciator at the firing 

 point. The four elements. 3. 3, 4, 5, by the simple rule make up 

 the fifteen combinations, 4X4—1=15, and of these fifteen no two 

 shall lie alike, and the record on the annunciator would be. trans- 

 lated as follows: 



Centers. Inriers. Outers.

This reduces the amount of wiring to a minimum aud it will be 

 seen that there Is a certain method in the arrangement of the 

 figures to indicate the value of the shots. 



Lieut.' Patten has arranged his battery so that it is a closed cir- 

 cuit at all times except when the slight jar from a coming bullet 

 opens the circuit and the annunciator flap drops. If the bullseye 

 plate is hit, down drop all four of the figures, for that plate is con- 

 nected with all four wires. The other plates are connected as the 

 numbers indicate. The annunciator is a simple box but a few inches 

 square, which may be. carried from one part of the range to an- 

 other and connected with the wire ends in a moment. The ap- 

 paratus has been tried upon an experimental target and found to 

 work with accuracy and speed. It is patented by its inventors, 

 Lieuts. Bingham, of the Engineers, and Patten, of the Infantry, 

 and will be known as the Patten-Bingham target.
