KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 

 %ST" No Notice Taken of Anonymous Correspondents. 



E. K. S., Hartford.— It is a great pi ty that in such cases the 

 belly is not opened and intestines examined. All I would venture 

 to surmise in this ease is poisoning by non-corrosive poison like 

 Phosphorus. Perforation of the gut and peritonitis resulting, 

 which is common, would give very definite symptoms. So sudden 

 a death would seem to indicate poison or heart trouble. 



E. P., Cortland, N. Y.— Since having the distemper, my red Irish 

 setter has been afflicted with a discharge from the mouth of a 

 nature that would suggest some catarrhal difficulty. He is strong 

 and apparently in good health, but the almost constant drooling 

 from the mouth is a source of annoyance. Ans. Give 10 drops of 

 the tincture of belladonna morning and evening in the food. 



W. H. S., Jersey City.— My setter pup, three months old, cannot 

 keep anything on his stomach; his hair is falling out; weak in the 

 hind parts: passes blood both ways; has a belching as though sick 

 at his stomach; also craves for water. Ans. It looks as though 

 your pup has an acute inflammation of the stomach and intestines. 

 The cause is from some irritating or poisonous material swallowed. 

 Feed fluids only; let him have all the water he wants. Give two 

 drops of Fowler's solution of arsenic morning and evening. 



D. C. B. Fly Creek, N. Y.— My English setter, eight years old, 

 has a bunch about as large as a walnut grown out from* his gums 

 on tapper jaw back of Ins tusk, and grown over a tooth, I first 

 noticed it about two years ago; it was smaller then. It is as hard 

 as his gums and looks just like his gums. A gentleman told me 

 to tie a silk thread around it and that it would come off all right. 

 Would you advise me to do that ? I can take hold of it and move 

 it a little, about the same as you could a wart. Ans. It is called 

 Epulis. The best treatment is to tie a strong ligature, strong silk, 

 catgut or wire, with the object of strangulating the growth. 

 When it drops off or can be twisted off, cauterize the stump with 

 nitric acid on a pine stick or touch daily with lunar caustic 

 (nitrate of silver). 



E. R., Jersey City.— My son owns two setter pups, one ten the 

 other three months old. The oldest one was taken out last week 

 and broke through the ice; when he came home he was wet and 

 chilled. The next morning he was sick, vomited, and refused his 

 food. I gave him castor oil and aconite. I think it has done some 

 good: but he still shivers and likes to get up to the fire, and his 

 appetite is poor. As I am very fond of them, I have kept them 

 sleeping in the house in a warm room. Do you think that would 

 be injurious to their health? The younger one is somewhat 

 troubled with worms. Their diet has been mostly milk, bread, 

 beef and broth. Ans. Dogs are much sturdier when kept out of 

 doors. With a kennel and plenty of straw, t hey would not suffer 

 in the coldest weather. Give the younger dog a full dose of castor 

 oil, and follow this with a pill containing lOgrs. of arecanut. 

 Give the other dog ogrs. of quinine twice daily in pill form. 



UNCLE LISHA'S SHOP. 



X[OT often do the Forest and Stream Riblishiug Company (New 

 York) issue anything more interesting or valuable than their 

 popular weekly paper of that name, but in a volume bearing the 

 above title they give us really a captivating insight into life in a 

 remote mountain town in Vermont, where game, from bears to 

 woodchucks, coons and owls, has been abundant, and where the 

 life of the people has been very primitive and untinged by the 

 great world outside. Things are greatly changed now— but the 

 daily life of that retired community (as curious as that of any 

 outlying province of France) and the trapping, shooting and 

 catching of game, are presented in this book in a fresh and en- 

 tertaining shape.— Bar! ford Times, Dec. 21.

WILMINGTON, Dee. 26— It was almost too cold for out-door 

 amusements to-day, but the shooters were out in force. Some of 

 the ranges had fires, which made the contestants at least com- 

 fortable, even if t hey did not win prizes. The Hcaldmoor rauge 

 had a big crowd all day and some fine shooting was done. The 

 grand prize match on a Creedmoor target at 200yds. not only 

 brought good shots from Philadelphia and the surrounding coun- 

 ties, but some excellent scores were made. The four cash prizes 

 were won in the order named, the winners making the following 

 scores;

CINCINNATI, Dee, 22.— Will H. Jackson, a well-known trap- 

 shot of Level, Ohio, won the champion expert medal at the Tri- 

 State contest to-day. A nasty wind prevailed throughout the 

 shoot, which bothered all the shooters more or less, and though it 

 was something of a surprise, it is conceded by all that the gentle- 

 man won entirely on his merits. Merrick, 'of Bethel, Ohio, was 

 the. winner in the amateur class, and, though being a gentleman 

 some sixty years of ago. showed the youngsters in this race that 

 his hand and eye had hot lost their cunning. The birds used were 

 the new lark, and it is an established fact that, they are swift fly- 

 ing, as well as easily manipulated. The champions. Bundle arid 

 Winston, of whom so much was expected, did not show up m their 

 accustomed form, and as a. consequence several of their friend,-- 

 were not troubled with the "change." financially or atmospheri-

PELHAM, N. Y., Jan. 2.— The Country Club, at its house here, 

 entertained its members and guests very pleasantly to-dav. The 

 hall and billiard room of the handsome old mansion were deco- 

 rates with Christmas green, and to those who did not care to face 

 the rather chilly atmosphere on the pigeon around were given a 

 very cheering warmth, as well as the benefit of a bountiful cellar 

 and larder. Out of doors, nowever, the banging of shotguns 

 proved the manner in which many enthusiasts were passing their 

 holiday. On the pigeon ground the trap was in constant use, both 

 for the two handicap prize matches which had been announced 

 for the day and for impromptu sweepstakes, which were con- 

 tinued until the ground froze and the sun went down. Over 400 

 birds were shot at and some of the shooting was remarkably stood.
