H. B. N., Brooklyn, N. Y.— Have a fox-terrier bitch that has 

 several warts on his tongue and lower lips; also a little bunch on 

 the lid of one eye. They do not seem to affect him, but are un- 

 sightly. Can they be cured? Ans. Yes: with a pair of sharp 

 scissors. 



SUBSCBXBEB, Brooklyn, N. Y.— Will you kindly tell me the pedi- 

 gree of the bull-terrier Gully the Great, also Bendigo? I don't 

 know whether the latter is registered in this country or England. 

 Ans. Gully the Great by Gladstone out of Florrie; by Baron out 

 of Maggie May. Bendigo is not given. Write to Mr. Frank Dole, 

 New iiaven, Conn. 



H. M., ("hatham. Out.- My cocker spaniel, eight months old. ia 

 subject to fits. It will not faU down, but kind of slides to one 

 side and froths a bit at the mouth. It seems to have its senses all 

 the time iadgiug by the expression of its eyes. I haA'e tried sau- 

 touine, thinking it was worms. The fits seem to leave it a bit 

 weak for an hour or two. Ans. Treat for worms. Santonine alone 

 is not sufficient. Afterward give the following mixtxu-e: Pot. 

 bromide ~ drams, sod. bi-borate 1 dram, water 3 ounces. One 

 dessertspoonful twice a day. 



C. H. G., Bristol, Conn.— What proportion of the tail shall I cut 

 from cocker spixniel pups now 5 weeks old? At what age is it best 

 to cut them, and how or what with? Ans. It is to a certain ex- 

 tent a matter of taste, some like a comparatively long tail, others 

 the reverse. About 3iu. is the usual length left on. Pnppies 

 should be docked when about a fortniaht or three weeks old, but 

 later will answer just as well. Cut them at a joint with a pair of 

 sharp .scissors, pulling back with thumb and linger the skin to- 

 ward the root of tail, so sliin at the end will cover the stump 

 nicely and heal so much quicker. 



H. W. R., New York city.— I have a St. Bernard lOmos. old that 

 cannot bear mo to press my hand on its loin. If I press hard its 

 hindquarters fall to the ground. It seems to have a difficulty at 

 times in passing urine, other days it will be all right. Do you 

 think it has any kidney troubler It is a well bred one and I don't 

 ' want to lose it. Let me know at once what to do for it. Would a 

 blister do any good? Ans. The symptoms you describe are due to 

 weakness. Treat for worms. Feed the dog well, allowing a fair 

 quantity of meat, and also use cod-liver oil cakes. Give' the fol- 

 lowing mixtm-e: Tincture nux vomica 1>4 drams, dialysed iron 1 

 dram, water 6 ounces. One tafilespoonful twice a day. 



H. W. S., Tom's River, N. J.— Please teU me what to do fo. my 

 black and tan bitch. She has been unwell for several weeks, has 

 vomited considerable mucus, whitish in color, and the last few 

 days the vomit is greenish. She has little or no appetite, is get- 

 ting very thin in flesh. Does not appear to be in pain, but lies 

 with hindlegs drawn up against belly. Nose hot and dry, pulse 

 quick, respiration seems to be labored. Bowels rather inactive, 

 Ans. Give five grains of carbonate of bismuth three times a 

 dav. taken on the tongue. Feed on raw minced meat alone, given 

 in "small quantities, and at intervals of three or four hours. 

 Allow the clog a very little water three times a day. When bowels 

 do not act give enema of soap and water, and if necessary a tea- 

 spoonful of castor oil.

RANGE AND GALLERY. 



THE NEW JERSEY STATE SHOOT. 



Sea Girt, Aug. 26.— This has been the biggest day of the week 

 at the riflemen's camp. The two principal matches between regi- 

 mental and bettalion teams were decided this afternoon. In the 

 i'lierstate match there were four reams entered, two fi'om New 

 J r-rsev and two from the District of Columbia. The score follows: 

 First "Regiment team, N. G. D. C, at known distances, 173; in 

 Pkirmish firing, 769; total, l,24i. The 1st Battalion team, N. G. S. 

 N. J., at known distances, 469; in skirmish firing, 7-56; total. 1,235. 

 The 2d Regiment team, N. G. D. C, at known distances, 44:^; in 

 skirmish firing, 743; total, 1.1S4. The Tth Regiment team, N. G. S. 

 N. J., at known distances, 476; in skirmish firing, 033; total, 1,099. 



In the all-comers' military match the best score for the day, as 

 well as for the match, was made by Corporal August Dietrich, of 

 the 1st Battalion, who had 47 out of a possible 50 placed to his 

 credit. In the Schuetzen match, open to all comers, William 

 Hayes, of Trenton, made a reooi'd of 189 as the aggregate of three 

 scores. This places him in the lead. 



TliB State match, between teams representing the Tth Regiment 

 and the 1st Battalion, of the National Giiard of New Jersey, was 

 concluded this afterno an. 't'esierday at the 2iX)yd. range the 7t,h 

 Regiment team .scored 439 points and the 1st Battalion team 455. 



To-day they complete the score with skirmish firing. They 

 started from the 600vd. line and made a run to within SOOyda. ot 

 the targets, fieneral Bird W. Spencer rode along back of the 

 skirmish line with a mounted bugler by his side. As the signals 

 were given on the bugle the men started, ran for 100yds., dropped 

 quickly, aimed, fired and then up again and off for another trot 

 of about lOOyds. At the 200yd. line the bugler sounded the retreat, 

 and the men started back to the 600yd. line, turning and flrmg at 

 intervals. The 1st Battalion team scored 23 points more than 

 their competitors. 



Corporal August Dietrich, of the 1st Battalion, made the excel- 

 lent score of 82 points, including 7 buUseyea and 10 shots within 

 the inner circle. By winning this match the Ist Battalion is en- 

 titled to hold the handsome bronze .State troohy for one year, 

 when it will again be subject to competition. The totals of the 

 scores in to-day's part of the match follow:

Sea (iiRT, Aug. 29.— The New Jersey State Rifle Assncia- 

 tion closed Its first annual meeting to-day. Many crack riflemen 

 ha^ e been in camp in the week, and the meeting has proved re- 

 markaVdy successful under the management of General Bird W. 

 Spencer. The most interesting shooting of the day was the final 

 malch between two teams of twelve each, representing the State 

 of New Jersey and I he District of Columbia. In the known-dia- 

 tance shooting the Washington team made a total of 970 points 

 to their opponents' 974. In the skirmish firing, which was by far 

 the most interesting part of the match, the scores were as follovys: 

 New Jersey Nat. Guard Team. District of Columbia Team.

When it was announced that the New Jersey hoys had won the 

 match the Washington men gave three rousing cheers for Jersey 

 marksmanship and Jersey hospitality. 



All of the individual matches were close to-day. The match for 

 the championshi p meoal offered by Governor Leon Abhett was 

 won by Sergt. Chas, W. Mayow, of the 1st Regiment, Newark. 

 The match has been open all summer, but Sergt. Mayow came up 

 to the range at the lasi: hour and distanced all the previous scores 

 by making 44 out of a possible .50. Lieut. Geo. H. Harris won the 

 first prize, a special militarv rifle, in the Kuzer match. His score 

 was 104 out of a possible 105. Private C. W. Dickey was scored 

 with 100. Both of the men are from WashiuErton. In the all- 

 comers' match Captain Lohman and Corporal Augustus Dietrich 

 were tie with 47 as the total made hy each. Captain Lohman's 

 score, however, was adjudged the better and he was declared the 

 winner. The fochuetzen match was won by Wm. Hayes, of Tren- 

 ton, with an aggregate score of 189. Ex-Governor Robert S. Green 

 presented the prizes to the winners at headquarters this evening 



THE RIFLE IN CANADA. 



Ottawa, Ontario, Aug. 31.— The annual shoot of the Dominion. 

 Rifle Association commenced this morning. It was just 8:25 

 o'clock when Sergt. Dunnett discharged the cannon as a signal to 

 begin, and in five minutes afterward the popping of the rifies at 

 the 33 targets was heard all along the lines. The weather was 

 overcast, but not very unfavorable at the start. As the day pro- 

 gressed, the steady east wind that was blowing directly across 

 the range grew somewhat puffy and was rather puzzling even to 

 the oldest shots. The light in the morning, however, was good, 

 being dull, but steady. 



The fii-st match was the bankers' in the nursery class, range 

 SOOyds., rounds 5, Snider rifle; position, any with head to target. 

 The match was open to members of the Associaiion who have not 

 at any previous prize meeting of the Dominion Rifle Associaiion 

 won a prize of S5 or upward, exclusive of team or extra prizes. 

 It resulted as follows: Private C. M. Lang, 25; Dr. D. McMartion, 

 O. R. C, 34; Sergt. M. P. McCarthy, G. G. F. G.. 24; Capt. W. 

 Sehultz, 24; Private W. Humphrey, St. John's R., 23; Lieut. J.H. 

 Rannie. Infantry School, 23: Sergt.Crosby, Seventeenth Leicester- 

 shire, 32. 



The MacDougall challenge cup match was finished at 1;30 

 o'clock. The ranges were 400 and OtWyds., five rounds at each, 

 open to efficient members of the active militia, members of the 

 staff, and officers of the active force who have retired retaining 

 rank, and to all officers, non-commissioned officers, and men of 

 her Majesty's regular army and navy stationed in Canada who 

 are also members of the association. The cup will be the property 

 of the member winning it twice consecutively. The prize included 

 also §30. 



The score was for the six highest: Sergt. Mitchell, Tenth, 47; 

 Priv. C. A. Windatt, Forty-fifth. 46; St. Sergt. J. A. Armstrong, 

 G. G. F. G., 46; K. B. H. Flowers, P. G. A., 46; St. Sergt. Rolston, 

 Twentieth, 46; St. Sergt. W. Rinman, Ninetieth, 46 



The First (Leicester) Regiment, Imperial Ser\nce, which is 

 stationed at Halifax, is represented by a .strong team. In the 

 MacDougall challenge cup match Priv. J. E. Hutchinson, Capt. 

 Rogers and Priv. Jamieson, all of the Forty-third, came back 

 from 400yds. with the possible 25 points. The youngest rifie shot 

 at present in the city attending the meeting is Trumpeter Ptigh, 

 of B Battery, Royal Canadian Artillery, stationed in the citadel, 

 Quebec. This promising shot won many prizes here during the 

 1889 meeting, coming within 3 of winning a place on tlie Canadian 

 team which is sent to England. 



Toronto, Aug. 27.— The twenty-third annual prize meeting of 

 the Ontario Rifle Association closed this evening after four very 

 successful days' shooting. While the attendance all through the 

 meeting was not up to previous years, it maj^ safely be sa.id that 

 this year's matches from a point of general interest and keen 

 competition have never been equalled. To-day was a rare day for 

 the sport. There was little if any wind, and the light was almost 

 perfect. These excellent conditions enabled the marksmen to 

 outdo the scores which were considered good in other years. The 

 Gzowski cup. which is enviously sought after by the teams in the 

 skirmish and volley firing matches, was captured by the Grena- 

 diers for the second time in two years, score 309, they having been 

 tbe virinners of the trophy a year ago. It was expected that the 

 highest score in the revolver competition would not exceed 40, but 

 yesterday Corp. McLaren, Q.O.R., caught his eye and put in 42 

 lioints, or two points above Li^ut. Margetts. 13th Batt., the wiuntr 

 a year ago. There were two 41'8 and one 40. The scores in the 

 two leaOing contests stood:

AN AMERICAN TEAM FOR BISLEY. 



The writer is very pleased at the editorial in Forest and 

 Stream of .luly 23 suggesting that an American team shottld 

 visit Blsley iipxt year. 



When Mr. Farrow came over to England a few years ago and 

 shot in the long ranges he carried off the chieJ honors, and why 

 should not Americans do so again. 



Tbe thing to do would be to bring over selected men, several 

 for each style of shooting; for instance two long range shots for 

 tbe 1000yds. prizes, one or two good off-hand shots at 200yds (this 

 is what the English are worst at): these shots must be used to the 

 English Martini rifle, as that is used exclusively for the 200yds. 

 oft'-hand competition, and the rest of the team good at 200, 500 and 

 600yds. these also must use the Englisn Martini rifle. 



The Martini rifles can be got from several English makers at 

 from $25 to $30 each. 



The great mistake all American teams coming to England in 

 former years have made is bringing only Sprintrfield or other 

 American rifles with them. The great bulk of Bisley competi- 

 tions are open only to Martini rifles. Consequently the Ameri- 

 cans could not shoot in any but a few unimportant competitions, 

 or if they shot in Martini competitions they had to borrow rifles 

 they were f nlirely unaccustomed to. 



Now if a few good Martini rifles were bought at once, and were 

 practiced with the balance of this season and next year before 

 the Bisley meeting hy an American team, they would come over 

 to England and enter in all the prizes at Bisley except the two or 

 three which are restricted to English volunteer.*, and if they were 

 good shots win hundreds of prizes, instead of the two or three 

 American teams have been contented to shoot in heretofore. 



The writer will be verv pleased to answer all questiona on this 

 subject asked through Forest and Stream. W. W. 



CANADI.-VN TKAM.— The Canadian Militia Gazette, the organ 

 of the active force of the Dominion, explains why. for this vear 

 at least, the CaDadians will not visit Creedmoor. It pays. "Last 

 year the secretary of the National Association went to a good 

 deal of trouble in connection with a proposed visit of a Canadian 

 team, and a cordial welcome was assured. The proposal fell 

 through, however, not because there were not manv marksmen 

 willing to go, but for the want of an organizer. We believe that 

 could an interchange of visits between Canadian and American 

 ri^e teams be arranged it would be ereatly tothe advantage of rifle 

 shooting. The great attraction to a Canadian team at Creedmoor 

 would of course be the Hilton Trophy match, which is open to 

 teams of 13 men each from tlie Regular Army in any of the three 

 military divisions of the United States, from the National Guard 

 of any State, or from the military forces of other countries. The 

 firing is at 200 .500 and 600yds., 7 shots with any military rifle. The 

 position at 200yds. is standing, this being the condition most to 

 the disadvantage of a Canadian team, as the standing position Is 

 so little praoticfd in this country. The Creedmoor meeting un- 

 fortunately goes on at the same time as the Dominion matches .it 

 Ottawa, commencing on Sept. 1, a dav later than ours. We 

 believe the Hilton Trophy match is to be fired on Saturday, so 

 that our men would have barely time to reach Creedmoor after 

 the close of the Ottawa meeting, and would have no chance for 

 practice." It must be borne in mind, however, that this is the 

 first year where the meeting has been held so early in September" 

 In other years, with no Dominion matches at home, the Can- 

 adians did not come. 



ARMY SHOTS. -Lockport, N. Y., Aug. 29.— The annual shoot- 

 ing competition of the Division of the Atlantic. United States 

 Army, comprising teams from all the posts east of the Mississippi 

 River, has just closed at Fort Niagara, at the mouth of the fa- 

 mous old river. The shooting has been exseptionally good and 

 has coniimied incessantly for the last two weeks, with the excep- 

 tion of two days, when the wind and rain storm interferpd. The 

 distinguished marksmen who go to the army shoot at Chicago, 

 with their final scores, are: Private Thomas Feeny, Co. D, Fifth 

 Infantry. 568; Sergt. WiUiam A. Boyle, Co. C, Battalion of Engi- 

 neers, 509; Sergt. AVilliam F. Shipp, Co. E, Fifth Infantry, 495; 

 Private Albert W. James, Co. D Fifth Infantry, 488; Private John 

 Kelly, Co. A, Battalion of Engineers, 482. Of tne best scores 

 among the other marksmen the following have led the list, and 

 will represent the division also at the shoot: Sergt. Charles Wood- 

 cock, Co. C, Eleventh Infantry, 565; Sergt. Charles Hohler, Co. B, 

 Eleventh Infantry, 534; Private William Decker, Co. E, Battalion 

 of Engineers, 518; Coj-p. John Desmond, Co. H. Fifth Infantry, 

 .501; Corp. James Laver. Co H. Sixth Infantry, 487; Sergt. Frede- 

 rick E. Ginder, Co. D, Eleventh Infantry. 485. 



AMERICAN RIFLES WIN AT BISLEY.-In the Martini-Smith 

 competiiion for single-barrel rifles the scores below were made: 



Single rifles, 7 shots: 



1st prize Mr W R Joyat Ballard 6767777—47 (5 cartons.) 



2d prize Capt Dntton Hunt.Rigby 45 



3d prize Mr Meyrick Mayuard... 44 



'fhe carton is a circle of 2in. diameter. It counts 7. A bullseye 

 of 3in. diameter is used (cotmting 6), that being the smallest 

 object that can be conveuielly aimed at at lOOyds. It is only the 

 last few years the English shooters have found out the accuracy 

 of the American riffes; in former years hardly anyone except Mr. 

 Meyrick used American rifles. Mr, Joynt shot from a sitting 

 posture. 



BOSTON, Aug. 39.— The regular weekly shoot of the Massachu- 

 setts Rifie Association was held at its range to-day, with a large 

 attendance of riflemen. The shooting conditions were good, and 

 several good scores were made, Francis, Mervale, Fellows and 

 Brackett he-^diug the list. A. C. White, J. W. Jones, G. L. Hos- 

 mer and C. F. G. Arm.'4trong were the medal winners. Following
