KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 



J$F° No Notice Taken or Anonymous Correspondents. 



Reader, N. Y.— A Gordon setter's hair has fallen in places from 

 his l»gs and thighs, wuio.h. look sore; his eyes discharge a large 

 amount of yellow matter, Ans. Give 5-grain pill of quinine every 

 morning. Keep bowels open with svrupor buckthorn in teaspoou- 

 ful doses, and give 5 drops of Fowler's solution of arsenic in the 

 food night and morning, 



B. J. L„ Elmira, N. Y.— I have a setter pup onios. old, who two 

 weeks ago began to break out in sores along the belly, especially 

 about the hindquarters, along back and sides. He seems to be all 

 rirht. Sores start with a yellow head and dry in a day to scab 

 lik< iron rust, lie also runs considerable at the eyes. Nose seems 

 right, damp and c old. Appetite good. Ans. One form of eczema or 

 mango. Cleanse the do x with warm water and castile soap and 

 apply zinc oxide ointment every morning. Keep the bowel* clear 

 and give 5grs. quinine night and morning inpill form concealed in 

 a morsel of meat. 



K. C. Phoenixville, Pa.— T have a Newfoundland bitch with 

 pup due Aug. 11. I notice to-day for the first time a very large 

 turno on left elbow about the size of an apple. 1 also notice one 

 has commenced to grow on other arm. Will you kindly inform 

 me what is the cause of this growth, and what can be done for it, 

 and if curable. When felt it does not seem to be painful to the 

 dog. Her general health is excellent. Ans. Often comes in old 

 dogs. It is similar to corns or bunions in the human race. It 

 may be due to bar! position inlying down, irritation coming at 

 this point NotLing can be of much benefit unless you can remove 

 the irritation. 



E. R. R., Philadelphia, Pa.— An Irish setter, twelve months old, 

 two or three weeks ago was taken sick and ever sinco that time 

 he has been afflicted w th nervousness; this is so bad at times that 

 he cannot be induced to take food in the presence of auy one. He 

 has a very good appetite and I give him mostly bread aud milk. 

 He has a hot, dry nose and bis coat is. in very poor condition. 

 Ans. Look for worms in the passages; if found, give 30grs. of 

 areea nut powdered and made into a large pill; repeat this in three 

 hours. If you do not discover worms, give a teaspoonful of the 

 following in water three times daily: 



B Syr ferri quiu. et strychnin, phosph ?iv 



E. G. S., Braddock, Pa.— About four weeks ago my Irish setter 

 and water spaniel pup about four months oil took the distemper, 

 from which they seem to have recovered all right except a little 

 running at the eyes. About two weeks ago the water spaniel 

 seemed'to grow weak in the hmd parts aud his head turn on one 

 side. About a week ago my other pup was taken the same way; 

 still running at the eyes and shakes: will start to run and fall 

 down and can hardly get up. They seem to eat well. Can you 

 tell me whr-.t to do for them? Ans. Give a compound cathartic 

 pill hidden in a small morsel of meat. See that there are no 

 worms. Give 5gr3. of quinine nioruiug and evening, also con- 

 cealed in same way. If dogs do not improve report again. 



H. F., nammonton. N. J.— My setter bitch at the age of five 

 mouths became afflicted with mange. A month later warts, re- 

 sembling seed warts on the numan cuticle, but soft and pendulous, 

 ma le their appearance on the tongue, lips and mouth. The bitch 

 died from distemper and its sequences one month after the warts 

 appeared. The rest of my dogs have the warts coming in the 

 same manner. Could they hove taken them from her, aud what 

 will remove them? Also, what causes them? Ans. It is hard to 

 say what causes I hose growths, often some local irritation. They 

 can he removed by application of fuming nitric acid on amatcn 

 or pine stick. By means of a small stick of soap too extensive 

 action of the acid can be stopped. Lunar caustic will also eradi- 

 cate, but is slower in action. 



L. S. E., Sedalia, Mo.— An Engli-h setter, 15 months old, in April 

 had distemper, and came very near dying. 1 nursed him for a 

 month, when he began to improve aud Stopped coughing and fat- 

 tened up. i thougnt him entirely weD, when one inoriiiug going 



night. In a few days he got almost over it, when he seemed to 

 stop improving, and now he has little use of his right hindleg, 

 though he docs not seem to suffer any from it, hut all the time 

 when, he is lying down this leg jerkc at regular intervals about 

 every second. Ans. A very common sequel of distemper. Keep 

 the bowels open With syrup of bucKtnorn in teaspoonful doses, 

 and get the following: 



B Ferri et strychnin citrat grs. xxx. 



Fit pil. No. 10. 



Give one three times diily concealed in a morsel of meat. Rub 

 the affected parts with some stimulating liuament morning and 

 evening. Look for worms. 



A wonderful story has just made its way hither from 

 Cannes; but, as your readers will presently perceive, it 

 would be rather rash to guarantee its strict authenticity. 

 It would, perhaps, be more prudent to class it, penrhug its 

 verification, among the " things that might have been." Be 

 this as it may, the tale is worth relating, if only as a novel 

 specimen of Munchausen literature. It happened in this 

 wise: In the forest of Esterel a man and woman were at 

 work, and not far off their babe — an infant 6 months old — 

 was lying in the cradle, which had been moved to the front 

 of their cottage in order that the little cherub might inhale 

 the fresh air under the watchful gaze of its fond parents. 

 Suddenly a noise was heard, and an enormous eagle swoop- 

 ing down from the cerulean sky, seized the babe with beak, 

 and claws, and began to soar once more toward the sun, 

 when the distracted father, rushing madly into his hut, 

 took up a gun. Without a moment's hesitation the man 

 pointed his weapon at the cruel bird and fired. The eagle 

 dropped earthward as dead as a door-nail, and its slayer 

 now achieved another feat which would have won him any 

 amount of applause at Lord's, He held out his hands and 

 caught the child as it fell, the little one escaping without 

 so much as a scratch, and returning from its journey into 

 mid-air as " bright as a button." So Tell of immortal re- 

 nown has now a ri val. The only drawback is that a skeptic 

 has hinted that if it were carefully examined the majestic 

 bird might prove after all to be ouly a cauard, — London 

 Telegraph.

RANGE AND GALLERY. 



W \ SHINGTON HEIGHTS AND ALGONQUINS.— New York, 

 July 19.— Editor Forest and Stream: Noticing in to- lav's issue ot 

 your valued journal that Washington Heights G. C. had defeated 

 a rifle team from the Algonquin G. C, I wish to correct a wrong 

 impression that may be therein conveyed. The loam from Algon- 

 quin was in reality a scrub team, whereas the Washington Heights 

 Club have been preparing for this rifle match for an indefinite 

 period. When our friends of tho W. H. G. C. meet a representa- 

 tive rifle team from the Algonquin G. C, and faiily defeat them, 

 then we will not dispute their right to assert their superiority 

 over us with tho rifle, but until sucu a time arrives, would it not 

 be well to spare the printer's ink? We propose at our next meet- 

 ing to discuss tho advisability of having a rifle range on our club 

 grounds, which are admirably situated for a 100yds. range. Once 

 this is successfully accomplished, as no doubt It will be, and that 

 very expeditiously, we will be pleased to hear from the riflemen of 

 the' W. H- G. C or of any other club in the locality. We have 

 among our members several fine rifle shots, who are a little "off" 

 for want of practice They will be beard from later. I hope you 

 will insert this in next issue of your journal, as we feel that an in- 

 justice has been done our club.— Bijve ROOK.

 for the challenge cup came off to-day on the now range at Mr. 

 Alexander Hamilton's grove. The coveted prize had been t wice 

 won cy Mr. J, J. Glover, of Beaverton, and had he heen successiul

 of the match are: 200 and 40Jyds., 5 shots at each range; Snider 

 rifle; at shorter range, kneeling or standing; longer range, any 

 position, no artificial rests; open only to members of Beaverton

 13, but Mr. McNeil, of GamebrMgc, headed the list by adding 17 to 

 his previous one of 15, thus making his total 32. This score was 

 not beaten, so he becomes the possessor, for the time being, of a 

 very handsome cup. The gentlemen competing were Messrs. C. 

 A. Patterson, II. Westcott, D. McMillan, J. C. Jennett, J. Leslie,

 marksmen, targets, etc., which 1 have been gathering to-ether

NEWARK, July 19.— The appearance of the Shooting Park to- 

 day was very different from that of the previous week. The extra 

 30 targets, the shooting-house, prize temple, booths and other 

 extras had all been removed, and the grounds once more assumed 

 their oid-time look. The rain to-day kept the majority of the 

 marksmen away, and only four members of the Newark Sbootiug 

 Society reported for their weekly practice. The finest work was 

 done by Hayes, who secured an average of about 221 for eight 

 strings. If the weather is more favorable on Thursday next all 

 the society's shooters are expected to be on hand The Interna- 

 tional Saarpshooters' Union ran bch nd about S3 500 on the recent 

 festival. The shooting porlion paid big money, but on account of 

 the bad weather the receips at the gate and bars were small.

FACILITIES FOR MARKSMEN. 



THERE are just now two projects under formation in New 

 York, each aiming at the promotion of trap-shooting. One 

 aims to provide a ground so near the city aud so convenient of 

 access that no one who wishes to take a few shots need be debarred 

 from visitic g the ground because of cost or time outlay. Tbi= is 

 the New York Suburban Shooting Grounds Association. The 

 other proj. ct is the formation of a league of shooters for the 

 sho i ting or test matches, to determine records of individual 

 shooter^ and tho relative standing of clubs. Matches will he spot 

 at various times and telegraphic reports sent in. The work of the 

 league will be to see that the matches are propurly fought, a: d as 

 far as may be the league will be fashioned upon the bate b;>il 

 bodies. Local pride will be stimulated and a mass of data gath- 

 ered which will be valuable in striking general averages.
