Y OU know mallards—wisest and wariest of all 
ducks—Solomons of the air. You can’t knock 
down mallards with a paddle nor can you get them 
with a gun that plasters its shots all over the face 
of creation. 
A mallard shot is generally a long shot, and long 
shots require a hard-shooting, close-shooting gun. 
That’s why the long-headed man who goes to a 
mallard country takes a Lefever. When he swings 
it on a towering pair of mallards he does not ques¬ 
tion the result. He know it— 
TWO CLEAN KILLS 
The reason a Lefever kills clean and sure and 
far is Lefever Taper Boring. 
But if you buy a Lefever for the taper boring 
alone, you will get more than your money’s worth. 
For instance, you will never be handicapped with 
looseness at the hinge joint. The exclusive Lefever 
screw compensates for a year’s wear by a trifling 
turn that you make yourself with a screwdriver.

ver simplicity and strength make the $28 gun the

media similar to the following: Agar, 5 grams; 
gelatine, 80 grams; Liebig’s meat etxract, 5 
grams and distilled water, 1,000 grams. Here is 
where old Dobbin is called upon to assist his 
canine friends, and he is inoculated with thirty- 
five centimeters of the dead organism, and then 
in one week he receives 500 cubic centimeters of 
the live organism, and so on for four weeks, 
when he is ready to produce the fluid which 
gives life to the dogs. This operation is not at 
all painful, and in fact the faithful old horse 
does not know that anything unusual is going on. 
It is simply taking the germ of distemper from 
the dog, injecting it into the horse, and then in 
a certain length of time, taking it from the horse 
again and putting it back into the dog. This 
sounds simple enough, but so far Mr. Deaken 
is the only man who has discovered the proper 
organism to use with the media. 
In cases where the disease is only slightly 
marked, Mr. Deaken is satisfied with putting the 
fluid under the skin. It is only in severe cases 
where the anti-toxin goes into the jugular vein. 
Although the youthful discoverer has not dis¬ 
closed his secret, he has made it possible for 
others to use the anti-toxin, and when he leaves 
the city he will leave behind him able disciples, 
so. that every little dog who is suffering from 
the dread disease, distemper, may have a chance 
for his life. 
Picking the Best in the Litter. 
Nothing is more difficult for the undog- 
matic than to try to judge the merit of pups, 
and even those who can classify at a glance the 
full grown, fail where the embryonic champions 
are concerned. 
Some breeds are more difficult to select than 
others on account of possessing certain points 
which are not fully revealed until a fairly late 
age. The ears of a collie or terrier or hound 
will probably be carried wrong until the per¬ 
manent teeth have grown. So, too, with many 
breeds in which color is of importance. Age 
alone determines whether this is going to be cor¬ 
rect or the reverse. The collie, however care¬ 
fully he is fed, exercised and groomed, may 
disappoint his owner as regards the quantity of 
coat he possesses on reaching adult age, and one 
that did not look so well at weaning time may 
come along nicely. 
Yorkshire terriers are among the most diffi¬ 
cult to pick, as they are born black. A litter of 
Airedale terriers will, to those unused to the 
dogs, resemble a litter of black and tans. 
A litter of West Highland white terriers is 
about as prepossessing as a nest of guinea pigs. 
The toy breeds are pitfalls for the unknow- 
Kennel.
