Constant Reader, who asked last week for dog trainer within 

 100 miles of Chicago, is advised that the Riverside (Ind.) Kennels 

 (!iee advertisement) are 90 miles from Chicago, and will doubtless 

 answer his purpose. 



D. G., Oswego, N. Y.— 1. Where call I procure St. Bernard pups? 

 3. What is the general price for them? Ans. 1. Consult our ad- 

 vertising columns. 3. Anywhere from $25 to $75, according to 

 reputation of sire and dam. 



Lighthouse, Summitt, O.— How can a person secure a position 

 as lighthouse keeper and to whom should they apply for such a

iNQiriRiSR.— What caliber rifle is most used by Western hunters 

 and frontier men? Which sight is most used in hunting large

3. See any military rifle for style of strap. 4. Yes. 



C. M. W., Providence, R. I.— I have a very slight dent in the 

 cylinder barrel of my gun. Do you think that it would be better 

 to have it removed? I took it to the gun shop here and there they 

 said it woitld not hurt the snooting at all, and that it being such a 

 small bruise it would be rather hard to get out. However that 

 may be, one can see it quite easily when the barrel is clean. As 

 the gun is a very valuable one, I should feel obliged if you would 

 give me yoiSr opinion about it. Ana. You may well enough have 

 it taken out for the saiisf action of appearances, but it will pot 

 affect the shooting to any appreciable extent. 



Doctor, Oswego, N. Y.— Can you tell me the greatest length of 

 giin barrel constructed in former years? If information is not at 

 oand perhaps some of your numerous correspondents can assist 



you. There is In a museum at Florence a single barrel of extra 

 ordinary length. I would like to know just how long it is. Our 

 representative in that city would doubtless be pleased to send you 

 its dimensions, which, I think, would be of interest to your 

 readers. The museum is in a former city hall, where there is a 

 large collection of arms. The gun was evidently used for sporting 

 purposes. Ans. Some of the old wall-pieces had barrels lift, 

 long. 



_D. F. C, Tampa, Fla.— 1. Which do you consider the most prac>^ 

 tical and best State game laws ? We are about to attempt to have 

 one put through in this State, and it is with regard to its framing 

 that I ask Ihe question. 3. What do you think is the best thing 

 that can be done to rid setters of fleas and vermin and keep them 

 free, or that will come nearest doing so? 3. Where can I obtain 

 for a reasonable price a good strain of Irish setters ? Ans. 1. It is 

 certainly higli time that Florida had a game law that amounted 

 to something. Of course the same law will not answer for Florida 

 and Maine. Your best course would be to proi-ure a copy of the 

 J3oofc of the Game Laws, study the laws of the different States, and 

 with the help of a lawyer draw up a bill for your Legislature. Let 

 it be simple, as free as possible, from legal verbiage, and so, easily 

 to be comprehended. 3. Any of the advertised dog soaps are good; 

 we have also found whale oil soap an excellent thing. 3. Consult 

 our advertising columns. 



It also applies to men. Says Mr. Lawson Valentine: "The 

 dog that goes hunting with his master for a day has a good 

 time. The dog that stays at home has nothing to do but 

 scratch fleas. The fleas don't bother the dog that goes 

 hunting."
