KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 



ISo Notice Taken of Anonymous Correspondents. 



J. T. W.— The trouble was a local one and your treatment cor- 

 rect. 



J. S., Cincinnati.— Irish setters have lump on necks, which seem 

 larger every day. Dogs are 3 mos. old. Ans. Give a half teaspoon- 

 ful of syrup of buckthorn every other day to each of the puppies. 



A. Q., Stillwater, Minn.— Ans. See answer to G. M. in this issue 

 of the paper. If fever is still present give four drops of the 

 tincture of aconite every three hours until the fever abates. By 

 sponging the parts and applying a little balsam of Peru ointment 

 (balsam of Peru and vaseline), you can cure the eruption. 



Learner — Your dog has a tape worm. The pieces you notice 

 are only segments of a long worm. Diet your dog for 24 to 26 

 hours, giving nothing but milk. Then you may give either the 

 turpentine or areca nut. If you give areca nut, give a full tea- 

 spoonful of the powder. You can make a large pill or bolus with 

 lard. After 4 or 6 hours purge thoroughly with castor oil and give 

 no solid food for some days afterward. 



J. A. K., Lindsay.— Cocker pup, 6 mos. old, has twitching and 

 jerking of one hind leg: sometimes she drags it after her. other- 

 Wise she is in good health.— Ans. The probabilities are that your 

 puppy has worms. If you can make sure of this by examining 



i piU; 



the stools, _ 

 nut made into v 

 your finger will i 

 press down the has* 

 hand and admimstei 

 castor oil purge in tli 



is (half a tcaspoonfnl) of powdered areca 

 ith lard. Put this into the throat as far as 

 An assistant can hold the dog while vou 

 of the tongue with the forefinger of the left 

 the pill with the right. Follow this with a 

 fee or four hours, giving two teaspoonsful, 



G. M., Rockport.— Dog had distemper short time ago; limbs jerk, 

 and body jerks to a certain extent: he seems to be restless all the 

 time. Ans. The nervous symptoms you mention are often noticed 

 after distemper. Exercise, diet and perhaps some medicine will 

 cure him in time. Keep bis bowels regular wit h syrup of buck- 

 thorn in teaspoonful doses. Add five drops of Fowler's solution 

 of arsenic to his food each day. Get the following: 



B Ferri et strychnin, citrat gin X L 



Fit pil No. XX. 



Slg. One pill night and morning. 



Feed little meat and what is given should be cooked. 



G. G. H., California.— One of my Chesapeake Bay dogs has moist 

 blotches which appear on different parts of his body which cause 

 him to scratch incessantly. The hair does not come off badlv. In 

 a day or two they dry up, leaving the skin scurfy. Also he has 

 enlargement of glands of throat, for which I have been giving him 

 lOgr. doses of iodide of potassium, which I noticed in one of the 

 last papers. The dog's general health is very good, and he has 

 plenty of exercise swimming. Ans. Stop the iodide of potash. 

 Apply the following ointment: 



B Ung. Diachylon. 



Ung. Zinci oxid aa j i 



Mix. Sig. External, twice daily. 



Give 5 drops of Fowler's solution of arsenic twice daily in food.

HOME-MADE TARGET TRAP. 



C1ENTREVILLE, Ont.— I have contrived a rotary trap which 

 ) can be made by any one in a couple of hours, at a cost of say 

 fifty cents, and which on trial we find to work satisfactorily. The 

 base is made by nailing together two or three short pieces of 2in. 

 plank and into it a standard is set with a shoulder a few inches 

 above the base. A piece of 2X1 scantling 5 or 6ft. long with a hole 



in the center, is placed on the standard. A stout spring of hick- 

 ory or ironwood is fastened firmly to one end of the scantling and 

 a short distance from the same end a block is placed, over which 

 to bend the spring. To the other end of the spring is fastened by- 

 screws an empty fruit can. The spring is held in a bent condition 

 by a hook fastened to the scantling, and to this hook is attached 

 a string with a nail tied to the other end. which may be stuck in 

 any of several holes bored in the upper part of the standard. On 

 the bottom of one end of the scantling is another book, to which 

 is attached a ring tied to the end of a cord 20 or 30yds. long. A 

 jerk ou this cord starts the upper part revolving, and when the 

 string winds around the standard it forces the spring and throws 

 the target (a bottle, potato, etc.,) iu the air. By changing the 

 nail in the standard it will not he known in what direction the 

 object will fly. M. I. B. 



THE WELLINGTON TOURNAMENT. 



THE arrangements for the world's trap shooting carnival, to be 

 held on the Wellington grounds May 30 and 31 and June 1, 2, 

 3 and 4, under the auspices of the New England Shooting Tourna- 

 ment Association, are rapidly approaching completion. A meet- 

 ing of the executive committee was held a few days ago, and the 

 various prizes donated to be shot for by sportsmen of the world 

 were designated in order of award. The prizes received by the 

 Association are as follows: 



One shotgun from L. C. Smith, Syracuse, N. Y., said to he the 

 finest gun ever made in this country, worth $450. 

 One gun from W. & C. Scott, London, Eng., value $200. 

 One shotgun from Parker Bros. Merideu, Conn., value 8150. 

 One shotgun from Lefever Arms Company, Syracuse, N. Y„

 ing'scene), by A. F. Tait, of New York, value $1,000. 



Special prize, open to all, a silver cup of elegant design, donated 

 by the Ligowsky Clay-Pigeon Company. 



It has been decided to divide these different prizes into two 

 classes, one for experts and the other for amateurs. This is done 

 so that four or five men may not have a monopoly of the best- 

 trophies. 



There will he no charge for competition, only the cost of birds. 

 The conditions will give all a chance to win a prize. Each com- 

 petitor will shoot at 20 birds on each of the five days of the tour- 

 nament, the scores made to go on record, and the best average for 

 the five days to win the first prize; second best average the second 

 prize, and so on each class, the prizes in the order above given be- 

 ing the rank in which they will be awarded. All ties must be 

 shot off, and there will be no division of prizes. All shooting will 

 he at lSyds. except the ties, which will be at 21yds. There will be 

 two sets of five-gun traps each,* and three of three-gun traps 

 each, and extra "sweeps" will be in progress all the time. Onlv 

 one "bird" of a kind will be shot at each day, and the classifica- 

 tion wiU be as follows: Monday, Ligowsky day; Tuesday, Ameri- 

 can day; W ednesday, Blue-rock day; Friday, Bat day: Saturday, 

 an extra day, all targets will be used. The Wellington Gun Club 

 grounds, on which the shooting is to take place, are on the Boston 

 and Maine railroad, and the shooting grounds are directly at the 

 station. The secretary is Mr. C. B. Sanborn, 29 North 'Markei 

 street. 



N. G. A. RULES.-Jamestown, N. Y., April ll.-At the last 

 monthly meeting of the Jamestown Shooting Club the Secretary 

 was instructed to request the National Gun Association (under 

 whose rules we shoot) to amend the rules so as to have no restric- 

 tions on the position of the gun while at the score, i. e., allowing a 

 man to hold the gun to his shoulder or put it in his pocket; and to 

 make no restrictions on the weight of guns, but to allow all 12- 

 gauge guns an advantage of 2yds. over all 10-gauge guns. We 

 think such rules might do away with very many of the disputes 

 which come up under those two rules as they now stand.— Zero.
