KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 



No Notice Taken of Anonymous Correspondents. 



W. H. F., Dwight, Mich.— Please advise me what can be done for 

 a dog with a swelling on his neck which seems to be enlargement 

 of the glands of the throat. It does not affect his general health 

 or appetite. Ans. Give 10 grains of the iodide of potassium in 

 solution mixed with the food night and morning. 



Uemer, Yonkers.— Setter nine months old has lost appetite 

 almost entirely; has quite a little fever, no cough; is always ready 

 for exercise, and will go five miles without apparent fatigue; 

 bowels quite loose. She is becoming emaciated; hair comes out in 

 spots size, of a ten cent piece on parts of body. I tried Fowler's 

 solution, 5 drops per day, but it caused bad diarrhoea. Have 

 looked for worms in vain. .Her coat is fine and silky, and she is 

 apparently well except loss of appetite and frequent panting. Ans. 

 Give 4 drops of tincture of aconite every two hours until fever sub- 

 sides. Give a two-grain pill of quinine three Pines dailv. Keep 

 the bowels regular with syrup of buckthorn. Do not feed meat. 



H. E. M.,Lock Haven, Pa,— My pointer has scaly mange. A 

 spot appeared on his back six weeks ago, on which hair came out 

 and white scales appeared. Have been treating him for scaly 

 mange per directions given in Forest and Stream: Fowler's 

 solution arsenic, five drops twice daily, and applying balsam of 

 Peru ointment, and calomel on alternate days. Spot is size of 

 half dollar, neither increases nor decreases, skin covered with 

 rough scales; no other spots have appeared. Ans. You are treat- 

 ing the dog just right: you had better keep his bowels freely open 

 either with Epsom salts or castor oil. You may try the oleate of 

 mercury, rubbing it in with a coarse tooth brush once dailv, 

 instead of the balsam of Peru ointment. No, it is not serious. '

BULLARD MATCH.— The Bullard Arms Company has corrected 

 its tirst published scores of the second match, and it now tran- 

 spires that, the Ingersoll Rifle Club, with it score of 783 points, does 

 not win the trophy. The change is due to the efforts of Mr. A. C. 

 Gould, editor of the Rifle, who was convinced that there was some 

 error and maintained that the scores were not correct and pointed 

 out that the Canadians must have shot under the rules of the 

 National Rifle Association of Great Britain, which, at short ranges, 

 permits the shooter to lire in the kneeling or sitting position, with 

 support from the elbow on the knec. The following letter has been 

 written by the secretary of the Canadian club in reply to repeated 

 tPrect questions as to whether they observed the rules of the 

 National Ritle Association of Great Britain or America; whether 

 they shot in a strictly off-hand position or with a rest allowed by 

 English rules. This letter settles the question, and the Bullard 

 Arms Company announce the Canadians' score as rejected: "In- 

 gersoll, March 7, 1887.— Bullard Repeating Arms Company.— Dear 

 Sir: Yours of the 3d received, and in reply would say that our club 

 shot off the match on Feb. 5 in accordance With the British rules, 

 and most of our men shot off the knee, as we supposed that was 

 the proper way and allowable in your match: however, if your 

 rules call for off-hand shooting I suppose our score will be cle- 

 ba rred. I am verv sorry to have caused you all the trouble. I as- 

 sure you it was a misunderstanding on our part, as we thought 

 we could shoot under our rules. I have been talking with some of 

 our men, and they express doubt about some of the scores being 

 made in strictly off-hand. Therefore I would suggest, if sugges- 

 tions are allowable, that the secretary and president of the win- 

 ning club or team attest to the correctness of the score on oath 

 before, a competent magistrate. I think you would get more clubs 

 to enter if a clause to that effect were added to your conditions. 

 We will have the pleasure of entering for your future matches, 

 and now that we understand the conditions, hope to win a rifle or 

 two. Regretting the amount of trouble we have caused, I am 

 yours, George G. Beck, Secretary." 



THE HURST RIFLE.— Senator Joseph R, Hawley and his former 

 partner, Mr. Hubbard, of Hartford, Conn.; Captain Stanley, of 

 Pennsylvania; Mr. C. B. Borhaui, of St. Louis, with Lieutenant 

 A. G. Berry, U. S. N., Lieutenant-Commander Watson, Lieutenant 

 A. MorrcR, Lieutenant M. L. Wood, Lieutenant Hemphill and 

 other naval and ordnance officers stood in the driving snow for 

 several hours on March 5, before the firing butt at the Washing- 

 ton Navy Yard, to witness the first of the official tests ordered by 

 the Navy Department of the reinforce rifle and artillery cartridge 

 invented and patented by General H. P. Hurst, of Summit, Miss., 

 who was present. The experiments were conducted under orders 

 from the Navy Department by Lieutenant II. Morrell of the Navy, 

 who did the firing from the shoulder in person. The following 

 results were obtained: Charge of powder, 00gr.; bullet, lin. in 

 length, steel point and shaft, with leather bands at base (a new 

 projectile recently invented by Senator Joseph R. Hawley); 

 weight, 83gr.; caliber, .32; second or accelerat ing charge of powder, 

 150gi\; fired from the shoulder, with little ^ a !<> < i ■;. ./ .■: ( 



19 inches of pine and lodged in 20th inch. Another shot, same 

 weight of powder and ball, pierced two iron plates, each twenty 

 one-hundredths of an inch thick. A number of other shots were 

 fired with similar results. The cartridge, it is claimed, is adapted 

 to all small arms and artillery. It was made by Mr. W. M. Hur- 

 ley, one of the experts of the yard, from drawings by Chief 

 Draughtsman Tibbetts, and is a creation of wonderful simplicity 

 and ingenuity.
