My dogs backed beautifully, but I 
confess I didn’t feel much elation as I 
lined up with the others for a shot at 
covey rise. The birds were scattered 
apparently, for Dinks never budged 
when his owner walked passed him and 
put up half a dozen busy fellows that 
did their best to get away. 
There was a big bevy scattered all 
along that ditch and my dogs had to 
play second fiddle to that stub-tailed 
phenomenon, for that’s what he was. I 
got one look at my friend as Dinks 
picked them up one by one and I saw 
how neatly I had walked into the trap 
he had laid for me. 
It wouldn’t be stretching the truth a 
particle to say that Dinks put it all 
over my high-bred fellows. He had the 
advantage of hunting territory with 
which he was familiar and it was balm 
for me that evening when my friend 
told me after we had gone to bed that 
all dogs looked alike to Dinks, field 
trial winners fresh from their conquests 
had come to Magnolia and been taken 
into camp as handily as mine had. 
I tried to find out something about 
him and his breeding and offered $250 
for him after I got home and thought 
over the wonderful performance I had 
seen. It wasn’t a fluky first day’s work 
either, for we stayed three days and 
hunted every day, and Dinks was al- 
ways the same. His father was a dog 
that was popularly supposed to be a 
“dropper,” as they term a dog that is a 
cross between the pointer and setter 
type, while his mother was just plain 
dog. Dinks was nobody’s dog in par- 
ticular, but made his home with first 
one man and than another in Magnolia, 
grateful for any kind words which 
came his way. 
He was a natural bird dog, and the 
storekeeper who claimed him as his own 
and who wrote me that I hadn’t enough 
money to buy him said that the boys 
around town used to find him on the 
outskirts of the municipality working 
industriously as soon as the season for 
quail came along. 
They told a lot of ‘yarns about Dinks, 
and I was ready to believe any and all 
of them after what I knew of him. One 
was to the effect that on one occasion 
while a group of Northerners were 
shooting at Magnolia, Dinks pointed a 
bevy of quail from a wagon as it was. 
being driven to town after a day’s 
shooting. 
Our old friend the storekeeper noticed 
Dinks showing uneasiness, and he in- 
sisted on stopping the horses. It is re- 
cited that Dinks thereupon, standing in 
the wagon, pointed the birds by the 
roadside, and subsequently retrieved 
the two quail which were shot when the 
covey flushed in the gloaming. If you 
don’t believe what I’m telling ‘you

ris or any of the other old fellows wh 
knew him and marvelled as I did at hi 
ways.

stick and rag draw the vinegar back 
and forth through the shell, holding 
the base well down in the vinegar, so 
that it will be forced in and out 
through the primer pocket. Then they 
should be immediately placed in an-— 
other vessel’ of clear water and 
scrubbed again with swab stick and 
a clean rag. Then they should be 
dried on the outside by using a dry 
cloth, and the inside should again be 
rubbed out with stick and dry rag, 
and then be put in a warm place to 
dry. You will find by this process 
that your shells wil be as bright and 
clean as when new, a very essential 
thing. This use of vinegar, however, 
will not be necessary if you always 
clean your shells immediately after 
shooting, as stated above, omitting the 
vinegar process. Great care should 
be taken never to allow your shells to 
be put in too hot a place for drying, 
or they may be ruined. Shells will, of 
course, deteriorate with use, and should 
be replaced by new ones as soon as 
any defect is found in them if you 
expect to get perfect accuracy, for I 
warn you that you must stick to the 
text that only perfect conditions will 
produce perfect results. 
Everyone is familiar with the com-— 
ponent parts that enter into the con- 
struction of a loaded rifle shell. And 
yet very few have ever made a careful 
enough study of these parts to be able 
to put them together so as to obtain 
the best possible results. (I am speak- 
ing now of black powder and lead 
bullet shells). The instructions given 
by the manufacturers of reloading 
tools in regard to the casting of bul- 
lets, when followed, will produce satis- 
factory results. There is, however, | 
one suggestion that might help the 
trouble that a great many have in 
getting perfect bullets. The bullet 
moulds are often made to fit so tight 
that the air has no chance to escape 
when the lead enters at the top, and 
the pressure of the air keeps the 
lead from filling the grooves properly. 
This, however, can be overcome by 
cutting a small groove about the size 
of a small needle, on both sides of the 
mould, from where the point of the 
bullet comes “out,” being careful to 
have the grooves on both sides match. 
Bullets should usually be cast twenty 
to one, that is, twenty pounds of lead 
to one of block tin or babbitt metal. 
This, however, will not be right for 
those guns having shallow grooves, or 
greater twist, which will require 
harder bullets,
