H. N., Oorryton, Tenn.— Will you please inform me if you have 

 |or sale a book or essay on the treatment and handling of sport- 

 ins dogs? If you have published no such work, will you kindly 

 advise me what book to procure? I want information as to rais- 

 ing of pups and feeding and general treatment of dogs in kennel, 

 and latest ideas as to training and hondling o£ dogs in the field, 

 pointers more especially. Ans. "The Scientifi" Education of Does 

 for the Grun" covers all these points. We can supply it, price SS-TO, 



E. C. C— I have an Irish setter do^ about 8yr.s. old that for the 

 past few weeks has had more or lesi trouble with his back pas- 

 sages. There seems to be an occasional discharge which is offen- 

 sive and of a bloody nature and causes him to lick himself fre- 

 quently. Ans. The result of an abscess due to constipation or 

 injury to the parts by a bone during its passage. Bathe the parts 

 twice a day and apply a little zinc ointment; also use the follow- 

 ing injection: Ext. of rhatany and tinct. of rhatany, of each Idr., 

 water 6oz., loz. to be injected into the bowels twice a day. Injury 

 may end in a fistula. 



J. P. D., Charlestion, S. C— Kindly prescribe for following dis- 

 ease of dogs through ynur columns. Symptams: First, looseness 

 of bowels and diarrhcea, with offensive breath, followed by a 

 ropv paliya and then gradual loss of use of limbs, beginning with 

 the hindquarters; In one case a dog lived eight days walking nn 

 front legs, dragging his hindquarters, followed bydea^h. Attacks 

 both young dogs and puppies. Ans. The symptoms point to some 

 irritant poison. Try the following: Give to each dog or puppy 

 five grains of sub-nitrate of bismuth shaken on the tongue every 

 three or four hour?; feed on minced raw meat given in small 

 quantities at intervals of four hours. Do not let the do^s drink 

 much water. 



A. M., Nutley, N. .J.— I have a pug dog, 2 years old, who k^epg 

 so thin that one nan see his ribs. His appetite has always been 

 very poor, he will eo whole days without touching food, bis en- 

 trails at these times will make the most peculiar noise. 1 have 

 treated him repea'edly for worms, and srill he remains in the 

 same condition. Of late his hair falls out very badly, and his 

 coat seems to be poor, although he does not seem to be a bit 

 mangs'. His eyes are watery and seem to itch, as he rubs th^m 

 on the floor so much that the hair is very thin about tbem. Ans. 

 Try for worms again. Give one of Spratts worm pills after 

 eighteen hours of fasting and repeat again in a week. Apply the 

 following lotion to the eyes three or four times a day with a 

 piece of sponge: Goulard's extract of lead Idr., w>ter 6oz.: also 

 give Che dog once a week a bath in soluble pb en yle (1 part phenyle 

 to 80 water). Give dog 2 or ooz. of meat a day. 



Ned Obke.— My black cocker spaniel, male, four yeai-s old. has 

 become very weak in his hind parts: legs give way and at times 

 he drags them along. Has been coming on about four months. 

 Ans. This may arise from constipation, worms or kidtioy trouble. 

 If you detect any difliculiv in passing urine, the bladder mtxst be 

 emptied by a catheter. If the dog is very consiipatpd it will in 

 time cause a partial paralysis of the hind parts. The bowels must 

 be opened, and if rhey do not operate after giving castor oil or 

 syrup of buckthorn, inject warm soap suds or sweet oil with a 

 syringe. Feed nutritious and strengthening food with plenty of 

 vegetables boiled up and given in soups, etc. If worms are indi- 

 cated, rid Che dng of them by using one of the vermifuges adver- 

 tised in Forest and Streaai. Also give in any case a pill three 

 times a day for some weeks maiie up of two grains of sulphate of 

 7,inc with extract of quassia, administering now and then a mild 

 laxative. Exercise often but not violently. 



A. D, S., Hamilton. On t.— Kindly advise me in the following 

 case. I have a valuable fox-terrier bitch, ]2mos. old. About a 

 month ago a small spot appf^ared on the root of her tail and an- 

 other on her left leg. The sores were not inflamed, but consisted 

 of small white holes as if made by a dog's tooth. Thinking they 

 were bites I dressed them with carbolic ointment, but in a few 

 days the sores spread until one half the leg and the entire tail are 

 covered with a raw red sore. I have clipped the hair and dressed 

 with 'iodine, but no improvempnt seems to follow. A veterinary 

 surgeon tells me it is ringworm. What shall 1 do to heal the 

 sores and make the hair grow at once, asl want to have the bitch 

 ready for tnefall bench shows? I might also say that she was 

 served in April by a dog but mi.s.ged having pups, but her teats 

 (especially the two lower ones next the vagina) are now swollen 

 and very hard, feeling as if they were f ulWof hard strings and 

 tnors. What is the matter? Ans. Apply some balsam of Peru 

 on the sores; keep the bowels opan. Bub the teats with camphor- 

 ated oil two or three times a day. 



W. C. C. Bar Harbor. Mp.— Two of my puppies (three weeks old) 

 have developed some round spots or sores covered with a scab of 

 matted hair, etc. They only get food from the mother yet, and 

 except for this they are in splemMd condition. Will you tell me 

 what I had better do for tbem? The mother of the pups has been 

 bleeding from the womb for the past two or three days, and is 

 very much run down and will not eat. I know of no cause for 

 this, for she whelped very easily and apparently recovered en- 

 tirely and was vry well until three days ago. She has abundance 

 of milk. Ans. Rub the sores with balsam of Peru, keep the bitch 

 away for a while after rubbing it on the pups, simplify the bitch's 

 food, feeding milk as much as possible, and keep the bowels open. 

 Give this 'onic: 



ft Pulv. forri , gr. xx. 



Ext. nucis vomica. , gr. v. 



Ext, gentianaa . , 3 8s. 



Ext. conii 3 ss. 



Make into thirty pills and give one three times a day. 



G. R. P., Manchester, N. H.— My eight-monlha hound pup has a 

 phase of distemper not mentioned in ''Landseer's" book, and as 

 there is no vet. here who knows anymore about it than I do, I 

 take the liberty of asking your advice. Besides the running of 

 eyes and nose, and foul breath, though he has not the usual lung 

 trouble, his ears discharge freely and are most offensive. He 

 tries to scratch his head just below the ears and in front along the 

 nose. Mouth all right. Freces dark and hard, except for a slight 

 looseness yesterdav. Sits way back on his haunches, with back 

 arched and pot belly. Am giving "Landseer'.s" regular first dose, 

 which I have found most effective heretofore; bub have never seen 

 a case just like this. First syrai^toms a week ago. Head trouble, 

 except eyes, began Stmday. Very poor, but can still walk. Appe- 

 tite fair, no fits, and improvement m eyes as far as redness goes. 

 What do you advise? Ans. Cleanse the ears daily with warm 

 water and dry with soft cloth. Pour a little of the following 

 lotion into tlie ears and alBO apply to the sores on face twi^e a day: 

 Wright's sol. of coal tar, drachm; Goulard's exfract of lead, 3 

 drachms; water, 3 ounces. Bathe the eye with a solution of boracic 

 acid (1 in 20) five or six times a day. Give 5 grains of citrate of 

 iron and quinine three times a day. Allow a gt-uerous diet. 



J. W. G, D., Chestnut Hill, Pa.— I have two spaniels about a 

 year old; when they came last May they had an eruption on their 

 stomachs which I took for mange. The skin was red, but not ex- 

 cessively so, there were red pimples, some of which contained a 

 yellowish matter, and the skin was somewhat swollen in places; 

 in these swollen places the skin was not much inflamed and there 

 was intense itching. Otherwise the pups seemed O.K., had good 

 appetites and were full of life and spirits. I began to wash them 

 with a mange solution, containing carbolic acid, patas. bicarbon- 

 ate and laudanum. After keeping this up for two weeks 1 found 

 it did no good and the d'sease seemed to be spreading. I then 

 began to give arsenic, 3 to 5 drops twice a day, and tried a new 

 wash. Little's soluble phenyle. In about a week they began to im- 

 prove, the disease l^ft the stomach and went to the shoulders and 

 neck; in about three weeks more it stopped spreading and began 

 to leave. When a place began to heal up it became very dry and 

 you could scrape oft' the skin easiiy with the finger nail, first as a 

 sort of scab and then in a white powder, which when all off the 

 skin was normal and the hair began to grow again. Most of the 

 bair came out on the diseased places, whether on account of the 

 disease or the continual scratching I cannot say. 1 kept up the 

 arsenic for a month. The pups were fed cm milk, oatmeal, plenty 

 of green vegetables, a little meat and dog biscuit. They were kept 

 very clean, washed at least once a week with Spj-aits' soap, and 

 their house and beds cleaned and renewed as often as washed. 

 They have had plenty of exercise. Now they are O.K. with this 

 exception, that they do a good bit of scratching and on a tew 

 parts they have a few pimples which are not Inflamed but have 

 a dry scab for a head; when this comes off it sometimes bleeds a 

 little, but mostly it does not and the skin seems normal, but the 

 scab forms again in a day or so. The rest of the skin seecns 

 normal, except some days after having a wash a white dandruff 

 appears and the skin looks as if it wa^ peeling off in small pieces. 

 The pimples appear only in a few places, on the crown of the 

 head, the edge of the ears and where the legs loin the bodies on 

 the sides. Since the article on eczema in Fokest and Stream, a 

 few weeks ago, I hav^ been giving the tonic rficommended in the 

 last of the article and have given them one bottle full, the amount 

 called for in the prescnplion. They seem very well otherwise 

 and have tremendous appetites. I give them about a enljic inch 

 of meat once a day, and once in a while I put some stulphu'- with 

 their food. Now, do you think they have the mange or the 

 eczema? As we have had neither before on any of our dogs 1 

 can't determine myself which it is. I want to take them away 

 Sept. I shooting, and as I go with another friend who has a cocker 

 I don't want the dogs to have anything the matter with them, if 



possible, especially if it is catching. Ans. This is so intelligently 

 described, and may be of benefit to others, that we give the letter 

 in full. It is marge. Use the following dressing: Sublimed 

 sulphur. 8 ounces; best kerosene, one pint; vegetable (cotton seed) 

 oil, three pints; to be well rubbed all over the dogs every other 

 day for a fortnight;, then wash off, using any good dog soap. 

 Repeat again in a few days if necessary. Allow each dog about 

 4oz. of meat a day.

THE BISLEY RIFLE MEETING. 



\_From. a Special Corresi)ondent.'i 



BiSLET. Saturday evening, July 11.— All is prepared to begin at 

 "gnu fire" Monday morning. The bank at the "running deer" 

 has been cut down still lower, so there will be an uninterupted 

 view of the "deer," and bad shots will not be able, as formerly, to 

 put down misses to the deer being partly hidden by the bank. 



The revolver competitions, which last all through the meetiner, 

 may be entered for at any (ims, so nobody has tj'oubled yet to 

 enter for them. Tbere are usually some thousand ormore entries; 

 but for the Smith & Wesson revolver aggregate all entries close 

 before 9 o'cclock Monday morning. Of course, none except those 

 in the front rank of revolver shooting enter for this prizi. Tbere 

 may be one or two entries Monday morning, but practically all 

 who are likely to enter have already done so. There are only six 

 at present known to have entered. They include Major MncKer- 

 rell (Colt), Mr. Day, Mr. Walter Winans (Smith & Wesson), Mr. 

 East (?mith & Wesson), Major Hallett (Colt), and one other whose 

 name has not transpired. Between these there is going to be the 

 fight for the revolver championship of England. 



July IS. — The meeting opened in fine weather but later in the 

 day it came in very wet. The revolvpr range was not quite in 

 workine order, owing to the timing clock breaking down. The 

 best score made in revolver during the day was a 39 made in 

 series No. 2 of the revolver series by Mr. Walter Winans, Mr. 

 Haig being second with 31. For the Smith & Wesson revolver 

 aegregate there are 12 entines, several competitors having waited 

 till the last moment to enter; these include Mr. Haig and C. F. 

 Lowe. 



July 14.— It has been fine but windy all day, except for a short 

 time in the early morning and late in the evening. Mr. Walter 

 Winans took these opportunities to shoot and made a 40 out of a 

 possible 43 at the revolver disappearing target, series No. 3, Mr. 

 Haig also improving his score by one point, making it 32. In the 

 afternoon Mr. Winans again made a 40 at series No. 3, He has 

 not shot yet for any other series, as he wants to make a 41 or 42 

 before quitting. Mr. Haig has made 38 In revolver series No. 3. 



BOSTON. July 35.— The Massachusetts Rifie Association held its 

 regular weekly shoot to-day, with a large attendance of riflemen. 

 The shooting conditions were good, and several fine scores were

 kinds of shooting. Following are the scores made to-day, dis- 

 tance 200yds., standard American target, re-entry allowed:

SAISf FRANCISCO. July 19.— The regular monthly shooting of 

 three prominent Sehuetzen clubs took place to-day at Sohnetzen 

 Park, near San Rafael. The San Francisco Turner Schuetzen 

 Club was the first to announce its results. The shooting was for 

 five classes and medals, for which there wore 13 contestants, each 

 of whom shot 30 times for a possiblp 500 rings each. They were as 

 follows: Joe Straub 330. F. Acker 303, L. Bang 'm, L. Brune 333,

 was won by H. R. Brown, who made 2B rings. 



The contest with the California Schuetzen Club took longer to 

 decide who were the winners, as the method was more arduous. 

 The shoot was at httllseyes, and no less than a score of ijersons 

 shot at 10 each on an average. Fifteen of these scored less than 

 1,000 points, which is the dividing point between a good shooter 

 and an indifferent one. The prizf>s were sma.ll cash snms of from 

 25 cents to So. A. Strecker, first pr^ze, 262 points; F.O.Young 

 313, Capt. J. Klein 333. A. Reubold 414. Von der Heide 446, A. John-

PENNSYLVANIA ASSOCIATION. 



WiLLXAMSPORT, Pa., July 35.— The Ppunsylvania State Sports- 

 man's Association was organized at Corry. Pa., in August, 1890, 

 during the tournament held by the Keystone Target Company. 



A number of the Pennsylvania shooters got together through 

 the efforts of Mr. H. A. Penrose, and an organization was effected 

 and the following officers elected: President, H. A. Penrose, 

 Corry, Pa.; Vice-President, Jospph Thurman, Jr., Germantown; 

 Treasurer, Jag. Wolstenerof t. Frankford; Secretarv, Elmer E. 

 Shaner, Pittsburirh; Directors— W. H. Wolstenerof t, F. F. David- 

 son, C. E. H. Brelsford, W. H. Starhird and F. E. Mallory- 



Nbthing fuither was done until May last, wheu, during the 

 interstate shoot hpld at Harrisburg, a meeting was called at the 

 Commonwealth Hotel, and after a little work was done, such as 

 .oppointing some committees, etc. It adjoui-ned to meet at the 

 same place on Wednesday, July 33. for the object of selecting a 

 place and date for holding the first State shoor. 



At this meeting quite a number of clubs were represented by 

 delegates, but through the unfortunate hut unavoidable absencje 

 of the treasurer and his books, it was impossible to determine the 

 number of clubs that were in good standing. It was. therefore, 

 decided that the clubs that were represented at the meeting could 

 only be recognized as qualified members. 



Mr. H. A. Penrose presided. The secretary, Mr. E. E. Shaner, 

 of Pittsburgh, was present and took the minutes of the meeting. 

 Avery spirited discussion was had as to where the first State 

 shoot should be held. Williamsport, Harrisburg, Reading and 

 Pittsburgh each had delegates present who set forth the advan- 

 tages each place posses»pd, and it was unanimously decided to 

 hold the first shoot at WiUiamsport, and the dates Sept. ,29, 30 

 and Oct. 1 and 3 were selected, two days at targets and two days 

 at live birds. 



Williamsport undoubtedly is a wise selection, as it is very cen- 

 trally located; with its 35,000 population of good live inhabitants, 

 it is a thriving city. It also has first-class railroad accommoda- 

 tions. The Pennsylvania. Reading, Beach Creek and Pine Creek 

 railroads each have terminals here. 



The Williamsport Gun Club grounds are undoubtedly among 

 the finest in the United States, costing the neat sum of 815,000, 

 complete, and containing eight acres of land, inclosed with a 10ft. 

 fence, nicely painted. The grounds are adapted to all kinds of 

 athletic sports, such as bicycle riding, tennis, base ball, shooting, 

 etc. The shooting grounds are as hard as a house floor with a 

 good backgronnd, facing northeast. The entrance to the grounds 

 is very pretty and^artistic, comprising a covered gatewar (for 

 both carriages and pedestrians) and offices combined. To the 

 left of this is a shooting house for the rifle contingent, and 

 directly east of this and facing the shooting grnuuds is a beauti- 

 ful grand stand, capable of seating twelve or fifteen hundred 

 people, which cost complete nearly $4,000. In the grand stand are 

 the club rooms, also a dining-room 30x100ft., with a kitchen, all 

 of which will be very convenient for this meeting. 



This large room will be partitioned off during this shoot, and 

 convenient booths erected on one side for the acpommodation of 

 manufacturers of guns, ammunition, etc. to display their goods, 

 and in case of had weather it will be found much more desirable 

 than tents. 



Pennsylvania is the second State in the Union in number of gun 

 clubs and shooters, and if each club does her duty and sends a 

 t«am or two or three representatives, this will undoubtedly be 

 the largest meeting of thp year. .The location, so cen'raltoNew 

 York State. New Jersey. Maryland, each of which will undoubt- 

 edly send large delegations, will tend to swell the crowd to large 

 proportions. 



Special railroad rates will be furnished all shoocers, and special 

 hotel rates will also be obtained at one of thp finest hotels in the 

 State. Everything will bo done by the Williamsport Gun Club 

 for the pleasure and convenience of all present. 



New York and Illinois each have had verv successful meetings, 

 and it is to be hoped that (the shooters of the Stale of Pennsylva- 

 nia will come forward and show to their neighbors that they can 

 hold an equally successful meeting. The shoot will be under the 

 management of the Williamsport Gun Club, which will insure to 

 all present fair treatment 'and a hearty welcome, as many can 

 testify who have attended their annual tournaments. 



The sportsmen of Pennsylvania extend to the sportsmen of 

 other Stales a cordial invitation to b» present at their first State 

 sboot. Two Fets of traps will be in constant operation for sweep- 

 stake shooting, and ample opportunity will be given everybody 

 present to get all the shooting they wish, A royal good time 

 awaits all comers, and it is hopfd that this invitation will be 

 largely accepted, and that we will see in Williamsport on this 

 occasion the largest number of shooters ever congregated together 

 at a single tournament. 



The prrgrammes will he out about the middle of August, and 

 can be had by addressing Mr. N. A. Hughes, 343 Pine street, 

 Williamsport, Pa. Any information will be cheerfully given by 

 him. Ic will be well for visiting sportsmen to engage their hotel 

 accommodations earlj', in order to give the management as little 

 trouble as possible. H.
