H. W, P. , Auburndale, Mass. —There is a prevalent idea among sports- 
men that a pointer or setter puppy with a dark roof to his mouth is 
more likely to become a good hunter than one with a light roof. 
After brooding and training pointers and setters of both conditions 
for fifteen years I have come to the conclusion that color of roof of 
mouth bears no relation to hunting qualities. I should like your 
opinion on the subject. Ans. The color of the roof of the mouth has 
no more relation to the dog's hunting qualities than has the color of 
his hair or eyes or toe nails. There are many ancient fallaoies which 
seem to live on despite common sense or experience. 
C. A. H, Hinsdale, N. H. — My pointer dog, 11 months old, last win- 
ter had a humor which broke out on him, the worst of it being about 
the testicles and under the shoulder. It was red and In pimples, 
which in a few places broke and suppurated Now the dog has pim- 
ples on the inside of the flips of the ears. What is the best thing I 
candoforhim? I have seen no worms; have looked for them. His 
food consists of table scraps, wheat bread and meat. He is chained 
most of the time, being inclined to run away. Ans. Treat for worms. 
Give a Weyth's compound sulphur tablet three times a day. Apply 
following lotion to eiars three or four times a day: Goulard's extract 
of lead loz., water Soz. Mix. 
R. D., Chicago.— Can you refer me to any accurate calculations as 
to the speed of flight of our ducks and geese? Ans. We know of 
nothing definite on this point. We frequently meet with the off-hand 
statement that a wild duck flies ninety miles an hour, and a goose or 
swan faster or slower, but we believe that nothin? definite is known 
on this subject. Our impression is that the late D. W. Cross, of Cleve- 
land, in a little book called "Fifty Years with Rod and Gun" made an 
effort to compute the speed of ducks by stationing observers at differ- 
ent points on the Winous Club marshes and telegraphing in some 
form the time at which a flying duck parsed each observer. We do 
not think that the experiments were carried on long enough, or re- 
peated with sufficient frequency to give any data that are of great 
value You will have noticel Mr. Gatke's remarks in his interesting 
book on Heligoland. He believes that birds fly much more rapidly 
than is commonly supposed.

A New Lyman Sight. 
Wm. Lyman, ot Middlefield, Conn., has added another sight to his 
already very complete repertory. This is called a "receiver sight," 
and is designed for rifles with long bolt actions, such as the new 
smokeless powder repeaterB. It 3s also good for short-stocked rifles 
which have much recoil. At present it. will be furnished only for the 
Winchester models of 1886 and 1895, and the Marlin models of 1893 and 
1895. 
"This sight is very simple and Btrone in its construction, and is com- 
pact and out of the way. It is made of a flat piece of spring steel 
extending along the left side of the receiver, toward the grip. The 
rear part of this plate extends up over the top. On the top of this 
extension is the sight aperture. The forward elongated hole in the 
side of the receiver is for the pivot screw. At the rear of the Bight ia 
a long slot. A screw is passed through a thumb lever and a spring 
pointer and through the slot, screwing into the second or rear hole 
drilled in the receiver. To eleva+e the sight, turn the thumb screw 
up, then lock it by turning the lever down. It is not necessary to lock 
it, however, as the indicator spring holds it in position." 
For the '95 model Winchester a special ivory bead front sight is re- 
quired.— Adv. 
Mannocitin. 
Otto Goetot, 114 Broad street, New York, has issued a circular de- 
scriptive ot Mannocitin, the rust preventive, which will be mailed to 
any address upon application. To quote this authority: 
"Mannocitin is composed of greases and volatile oils. It is, and re- 
mains, absolutely neutral, aud contains no acid. On application the 
oil.- evaporate, leaving an air-tight Aim or skin, which adheres tightly 
to ihe metal, and absolutely and permanently prevents rust and cor- 
rosion. This coating is transparent and does not spoil the appearance 
of the metal (this is important for goods in stock), and leaves neither 
Spots nor marks when removed. The Mannocitin film does not crack, 
is not absorbed by dust and paper wrappers (for instance, when used 
on small tools), and does not rub off in handling, as oils and petroleum 
jellies do. Its great advantages for goods that are handled or shipped 
are easily seeD. At the same time it can be quickly removed with tur- 
pentine or benzine, thus offering a great saving in labor, as compared, 
for instance, with whi' e lead. The Mannocitin coating will stand very 
high temperature without melting, and it can therefore "he used to 
advantage on bright parts of boilers, etc. An article once coated with 
Mannocitin is protected as long as the film is allowed to remain on, 
consequently it prevents rust for years."— Adv.
