 |Sf" No Notice Taken of Anonymous Correspondents. 



Amateur, Lowell.— Are warts in a dog's mouth indicative of 

 disease, and is it necessary to remove them? I have a pointer the 

 whole side of whose mouth is one continuous line, of warts. Ans. 

 No, warts are, as a rule, not indicative, of general disease. If not 

 large enough to cause trouble in deglutition, they can be left 

 alone. They can be removed by touching them with fuming nitric 

 acid on a match or pine stick. Puppies arc more subject to 

 distemper than dogs over a year old. 



G. M., Newark.— 1. Can you tell me why my Irish setter is losing 

 all of her hair? It comes out by the handful. She seems per- 

 fectly well. I feed boiled Indian meal, with the addition of the 

 leavings from the table. Her hair came out the same way last 

 June. 2. Please tell me what is good for worms in a setter puppy 

 3mos. old. Ans. 1. Give Fowler's solution of arsenic, 5 drops 

 morning and evening in the food. 3. Give a purge of castor oil, 2 

 teaspoonsful, and 4 hours later give 20grs. of powdered areca nut 

 made into a large pill with lard. 



W. S. S., Red Jacket, Mich.— Having no veterinary up here, I 

 beg to trouble you again. The canker receipt you sent me worked 

 a perfect cure in my Newfoundland dog. He is in perfect coat, 

 spirits and health, except for the other trouble described. He is 

 well-built and powerful, but is getting perceptibly weak in his 

 htudlegs and quarters. Has had the distemper, and think he is 

 over it. Ans. Wc do not think the symptom you mention is 

 serious. Give 5 drops of tincture of mix vomica three times daily 

 in a little sweetened water. Keep the bowels clear. 



B. B. H., Harrisburg, Pa.— My Irish setter, 8mos. old, has for 

 four or five days boon having from one to three (its a day. They 

 begin by his eyes becoming set, shaking head violently; and 

 frothing at, month, he will fall down in convulsions lasting two 

 or three minutes, and ou rising he seems to be blind, running 

 over and against anything in his road. In 15 minutes he seems 

 all right, but cries as if in pain. Appetite good. Ans. Purge 

 with castor oil, tablespoonf nl. Do not feed meat. Exercise 

 regularly. Look for worms. 



F. A. P., Bath, Me.— Can you tell me of anything I can use to 

 stop my dog from continually scratching. He had the red mange 

 last summer, but I cured him of that all right. I wash him once 

 a week in borax water, aud use Fowler's solution, but it does not. 

 stop him from scratching himself on his forelegs and stomach. I 

 feed him dog bread, oatmeal and scraps from the table, and give 

 him exercise. Ans. Keep bowels free and use the following oint- 

 ment night and morning after washing:

During the latter part of the summer the butts needed replacing, 

 and there was no shooting at all at the range for several weeks, 

 aud during the open season for gunning most of the men have 

 failed to report there, so that at the present time the boys are 

 just, beginning to shoot in earnest, and to-day had a very pleasant 

 meeting, with these scores as a result. During the vacation the 

 butts have been enlarged, making room for three targets where 

 we formerly only had one. The shooting house has also been 

 enlarged to double its former size, and the latch string is out. 

 Some new members have come in, and more are expected.— J. P.

A RIFLE CALENDAR.— The Winchester Repeating Arms Co.

 and will be sent to any reader on receipt of address and 4c. to 

 cover postage. 



PAINE VS. BENNETT— During the present week Ira Paine 

 has been busy in Providence, and in addition to his professional 

 work has been giving some attention to the score made by Mr. 

 Bennett, of Boston, during the week preceding. On Mouday he 

 wrote: 



PnoviDENOE, Dec. 12, 1SS7.— Tn the Editor of the Herald: I beg 

 your pardon for troubling you, but in justice to myself I make 

 one more and final communication concerning that pistol record 

 of Mr. Bennett's. I had ascertained, previous to my letter of 

 Saturday the following facts: That Bennett used the new and 

 improved ammunition, which was not obtainable at my trial; 

 that as long as he. used the old ammunition he failed to beat my 

 score; that A. C. Gould, editor of the Rifle, knew these facts, but 

 suppressed them; also reported said trials, making the continued 

 assertion that Bennett has beaten "Paine's best record under the 

 same conditions," when he know such statement s were aosolutely 

 untrue and misleading to the American public. Friday last, at 

 the Narragansetl, Club I made 878 points, 10 more than Bennett 

 made t he same day, with a .38 instead of .44cal. Smith & Wesson 

 army revolver, losing 12 points by the. difference in caliber. The 

 score can all be properly verified. If I do not come to Boston and 

 prove these assertions I authorize you to donate the inclosed $500 

 to any Boston public charity you may select. When 1 have the 

 time I will give the new ammunition a trial and send reports ac- 

 cordingly.— Chevalier. I ha Paine (14 Delaine street, Providence, 

 R, I.). 



This letter was followed by a more formal challenge directed to 

 Mr. Bennett, in which he challenges him to accept one or all of 

 the following wagers: $1,000 that, he (Paine) can make more bulls- 

 eyes in 600 shots than Bennett did or can; $1,000 that he can beat 

 the record made at Walnut Hill; $1,000 that he can shoot 600 shots 

 against Mr. Bennett and beat him, any time or place. He depos- 

 ited $1,000 each with the Boston Herald and (Jlobefor Bennett to 

 cover. 



On Dec. 16 F. E. Bennett posted a forfeit of $100 and challenged 

 Mr. Paine, who disputes his superiority, to a six-day snooting 

 match for $250 a side and the revolver shooting championship of 

 America, the match to be. shot; at Walnut Hill between April I 

 and June 1, 1888. The conditions for the match proposed by Mr. 

 Bennett are 100 shots per day for six consecutive days, a standard 

 American target, at a distance of 50yds., with a .44-cal. revolver. 



Chevalier Paine was shown Mr. Bennett's challenge to him, and 

 said that his engagements would not permit him to answer it. 

 He did not consider Mr. Bennett in his class, and if he wanted to 

 make a match he must look in the same class of amateurs. This 

 shooting he did not consider his best, and he only wanted to beat 

 Bennett's record, and having done that was satisfied. 



During the week the Chevalier made of himself a very lively 

 mitrailleuse, he shot 1,900 rounds with a 38-calibre revolver at a 

 standard American target, distance 50yds. and Iff ., Monday, at 

 the grounds of I lie Narragansett Gun Club, in the presence or the 

 president of the club, E. W. Tinker, and Deputy Chief of the City 

 Police John Brown, who measured the distance and verified the 

 shots. Tuesday he made 100 shots and made 174 bullseyes, with a 

 total of 1670, and out of a possible 1,800 averaged 87.9. The scores 

 were: 89, 85, 87, 85, 90, 92, *7, 89, 86. 85, 92, 85, 85, 91. 87, 88. 91, 88, 88— 

 1,070. 



Wednesday he fired 100 shots and made 81 bullseyes. with a 

 total of 874 out of a possible 1,000: average, 87.4. Scores: 92, 89, 89, 

 86, 88. 85, 85, 83, 89, 88—874. This gives him a total of 2,544 out of a 

 possible 2,900; 258 bullseyes out of a possible 290, and a grand aver- 

 age of 87.69. 



On Saturday the 17th, Chevalier Paine completed 6011 .shots with 

 a revolver at the United States standard target, 50yds. distance, 

 at the grounds of the Narraganset t Gun Club, in the presence of 

 Newton Dexter, Esq., of the Rhode Island club, and J. C. Dyer, of 

 the Journal. He fired 210 shots, and scored 1,679 out of a possible 

 2,100, making a grand total of 5,179 with the f'tOO shots, or 101 more 

 than F. E. Bennett made at Walnut Hill. The ammunit ion w as 

 from the house of William R. S ha offer, of Boston, aud was made 

 by the Union Metallic Cartridge Company.
