T. O. H. — How can No. 8 shot be loaded for a full-choked gun to 

 make a large pattern? Ans. Load with two pink-edge wads over the 

 powder and one pink-edge wad over the shot. This wfil cause the shot 

 to scatter, giving a considerably larger killing circle at certain ranges. 



0. H. W., Amsterdam, N. Y.^We have near here a large reservoir 

 covering about 1,000 acres. It is well stocked with pickerel, and I 

 want to put in some other fish that will be a good food fish and will 

 live with the pickerel. Had been thinking of German carp. Will they 

 take the hook? Will they hold their own with pickerel? The water is 

 ci'eek water, clear, but not spring water; bottom muddy. What 

 would you recommend for us to put in? Ans. Carp would undoubt- 

 edly flourish in the water you mention, but the advisability of stock- 

 ing with them is an open question. They are not an easy fish to catch, 

 and once introduced it is next to impossible to get rid of them on ac- 

 oount of their habit of burrowing in the mud. Their flesh is not con- 

 sidered palatable by many. On the whole, we think bass or perch 

 would prove much more satisfactory for your purpose. If you try 

 bass you should procure fish at least a year old. as younger fish might 

 not be able to hold their own against the pickerel. 



H. R. W., St. Louis.— Please explain the difference, if any, between 

 the standard American target for rifle practice, 300yds. range, and 

 the Massachusetts target, and oblige. The above refers to the pos- 

 sible of each target particularly. Ans. The black in both targets 

 measures Sin. in diameter, and thus corresponds exactly in size with 

 the Creedrnoor bullseye, but the targets have no other important 

 point of similarity.. The possible for 10 shots on the Massachusetts 

 target is 130,- that on the standard 100, the inner ring in the first place 

 counting 13 and in the second 10. As the 10-ring on the standard tar- 

 get measures only 3.36in, in diameter, while the 13-ring on the Massa- 

 chusetts target measures 4in., it is a much more difficult matter to 

 secure the highest possible on the former than on the latter. The 

 black in the Massachusetts target is only subdivided once, being in- 

 cluded within the 11-circle. In the standard target it is subdivided 

 twice and includes the 8, 9 and 10-circles.
