Shooting 
“INFALLIBLE” 
HITTING vs. MISSING. 
By S. T. Hammond (“Shadow”). Cloth. Price, $1.00. 
Mr. Hammond enjoys among his field companions the 
repute of being an unusually good shot, and one tvho is 
particularly successful in that most difficult branch of 
upland shooting, the pursuit of the ruffed grouse, or 
partridge. This prompted the suggestion that he should 
write down for others an exposition of the methods by 
which his skill was acquired. The result is this original 
manual of “Hitting vs. Missing.” We term it originat, 
because, as the chapters will show, the author was self- 
taught; the expedients and devices adopted and the 
forms of practice followed were his own. This then may 
be termed the Hammond system of shooting; and as it 
was successful in his own experience, being here set 
forth simply and intelligently, it will prove not less 
effective with others.

eats into the body and weakens the fish, making 
the cure more doubtful. 
After treatment it is most necessary to take 
precautions against a recurrence of the fungus. 
In my experience in many cases it is not difficult 
to kill fungus on fishes, but when this is done 
the affected place is left a sore, and the fish is 
more or less weakened by the disease and treat¬ 
ment. Therefore, when put back into the tank 
in the same water from which the disease was 
contracted, the fungus soon appears on the 
places formerly affected. Each recurrence re¬ 
duces the strength of the fish and in many cases 
death occurs in time. I believe that if after 
treatment the fish could be put into new water 
practically free from fungus, the sores would 
heal and the disease would not reappear. A 
human being contracts pneumonia and recovers, 
but is not exempt from contracting the disease 
again; in fact, under the same conditions he may 
be more liable to a second attack. 
In March, 1908, when fungus disease was so 
prevalent in the aquarium, there were two tanks 
of fishes, one of rock bass (Ambloplitcs rupcs- 
tris ) and the other spotted or channel catfish 
(Ictahims punctcitus ), both of which species were 
attacked. Salt water was used, but without any 
beneficial effect. Hydrogen dioxide solution was 
used until the fishes were entirely cured. At the 
present time, Sept. 10, 1908, every specimen of 
both species is in fine condition. 
Fishes in house aquariums can be treated for 
fungus by taking the diseased specimen out of 
the aquarium and immersing it in prepared salt 
water, or in a solution of hydrogen dioxide. A 
small quantity of either preparation will be suffi¬ 
cient. If kept for some time, the dioxide will 
lose strength and become less effective. 
Transporting Eggs and Fish. 
New methods of transporting eggs and fish 
were described by Walter S. Kincaid, General 
Superintendent of State Fish Hatcheries, Den¬ 
ver, Colo., for the benefit of members- of the 
American Fisheries Society. 
This method (handling green eggs or trout) 
consists of packing the eggs in a case containing 
four trays, each about eight by twenty inches, 
each tray containing ten cells about four inches 
square, or forty cells in each crate, the bottom 
of each tray covered with brass screen cloth to 
allow water to drain off and also to prevent rust. 
Each cell carries 4,000 green trout eggs, and 
there are thus 16,000 in the entire crate. In pack¬ 
ing the eggs in the cells, make a nest of moss in 
each cell; place cloth down firmly in cell, leaving 
top of cell open; pour just 4,000 eggs in cell, 
fold cloth carefully over them, and then fill cell 
to top with moss. Before placing trays in case 
make cushion of about one-half an inch of moss 
in bottom of case. After placing trays in case 
set perforated ice tray on top of eggs, fill ice 
tray with chopped ice, and the eggs are ready for 
transportation either by pack horse, wagon or 
rail. This crate when packed ready for shipping 
weighs eighty-one pounds. 
The advantage claimed for this method is the 
economy in weight and space in handling green 
trout eggs successfully either on pack horses, by 
wagon or by rail. 
The method of handling eyed trout eggs con¬ 
sists in removing the. cell trays and using the 
flat tray before described. What is claimed for 
this method is again the economy in weight and
