No notice taken of anonymous communications 



S. Vau W.— Will you please state whether it is lawful to use ferrets 

 in hunting rabbits in New York State? Ans. Yes. 



SwAMPSEED.— We would like to publish your game note and more 

 like it, but you do not give any place, so we cannot know what locality 

 is referred to. 



D. B.. Rye, N. Y.— Please answer whether ducks can be shot by sail 

 lawfully? Ans. The law provides that wildfowl must not be i=hot 

 "from any boat other than a boat propelled hj hand," but they may 

 be shot from sailboats in Long Island Sound, Gardiner and Peconic 

 bays. 



G. 8., Germantown, Pa. — Is there any law forbidding non-residents 

 from shooting quail in Atlantic county. New Jersey, and if so where 

 do I apply for a license? Ans. You will require a license, to be 

 obtained from Charles H. Barnard, Secretary of the West Jersey 

 Game Protective Society, 416 Royden street, Camden, N. J. 



J., Grand Rapids.— I notice in Forest and Stream of April 20 a re- 

 port of game killed by the Coimtry Club, of San Francisco. I see 

 they include robins in the list. In this State, as you, of course, know, 

 the robin is not considered a game bird, and is protected by the game 

 law as a songster. Is the California robin referred to a different 

 species than our Eastern robin? Ans. A variety of the same bird— 

 Merula migt'atoria propinqua. 



T. A. B., Woonsocket, R. I.— Last year while hunting at West 

 Canada a party shot a doe which had horns, but with little thought 

 threw the head in the stream. I was there one week after and spent 

 nedrly two days hunting for the head, but could not find it. Last 

 spring our guide found it. and now I have the horns and part of the 

 skull. Do you know whether any one can tell any difference in the 

 cranium of a buck and doe? Ans. The sex could not be determined 

 by the skull. 



A. G H., Brooklyn, N. Y.— As I am going to purchase a rifle for all- 

 around hunting purposes, and have decided on a .38-cal, I would like 

 to know whether you consider the .38-55-255 (powder 48grs.) as good a 

 cartridge as the .•38-56-2.55 in point of accuracy and penetration? Not 

 to use the 330gr. bullet in the latter, range 200yds. Also do you think 

 it better to buy the graduated peep sight and bead combination in 

 preference to the common sporting rear sight, i. e., notched for every 

 40yds.? Mind, I speak of a hunting rifle not to be used at the range 

 and where facility of reloading, penetration, etc., are considered. 

 Ans. For hunting, we would advise the latter cartridge and either 

 open or Lyman sights. 



J. Q., Tavistock.— A writer in Scientific American of Oct. 7 states 

 that the gall of the rattlesnake is an infallible cure for the bite of that 

 reptile. Please answer through your valuable paper whether there is 

 any foundation for this statement. Ans. We never heard of the 

 remedy. The note in the Scientific American is from a Mexican cor- 

 respondent, who says: "What I know from my own experience to be 

 an infallible cure is the gall of the snake itself. One drop of it on the 

 wotmd will effect a cure, even when inflammation is far advanced. I 

 have seen a dog treated whose head had already swollen to twice its 

 natural size, and t cured him almost instantaneously. The gall may 

 be preserved in e ohoh or even dried, requiring in the latter case only 

 to be moisten ■■ , even saliva alone between two stones will do. (I 

 have seen a case o I this kind.) If preserved in alcohol, of course the 

 whole bag of the ga '1 is put into the liquid entire." 



J. B., West Park, N. Y.— Please inform me through your Answers 

 to Correspondents: 1. What conditions are necessary for the thriv- 

 ing of wild rice, and would it grow in a lake with lily-padded borders, 

 and a muck and rotten vegetation bottom, and if so would it interfere 

 with the black bass fishing? Will it spread from year to year or will 

 it die out, and when should it be planted, spring or fall? 2. Can 

 hunters come from Dutchess county and carry off our game (Ulster 

 county)? 3. What is the lowest figure that decoy ducks can be 

 obtained, and of whom? Ans. 1. Wild rice should be planted in the 

 fall as soon as the seed can be obtained. It is perennial and under 

 favorable conditions will rapidly spread. It would be more likely to 

 improve your bass fishing than otherwise, as it would in various ways 

 increase their food supply. We see no reason why it should not do 

 well in your lake. 2. There is nothing to prevent. 3. Write some of 

 the advertisers whose names you will find in our columns.
