Tlie barrel is four f.--t long ami nearly
an inch in diameter, w lull- tin; Id ire is lint

to take into it a ronn.i leaden ballet of

In weight, The stock in of rurly tuul,
f-lalxiiately carved out of a single piece of
wood, and extends from the semi-circular
brass heel pinto to the brass half ring of
mounting under the fore tip of the barrel.
What ii called tlio "drop' or lend of the
breech, id very alight an compared with
the fiihhion of the InteNt suns; Indeed,
some of the old guna have almoat straight
stocks and most of them have a greaxe
pot either opening in the heel plate or in
the left aide of the stock near that plate.
The trigger guard is of brass and f-inci-fully
curved, while the thimbles for the
ramrod aro placed under the barrel stock,
in which ia a semi-circular longitudinal
groove that becomes a round hole in the
wood of the lower part of the atock.
The lock is the best model of flint nnd
steel mechaniHin, elaborately curved nnd
perfectly lilted inlo the right u'do of the
atock near the lower extremity of the
barrel. The trigger is double, tlio pos

rangeinent, regulated by an intermediate
crew, the forward one at tin least touch
releasing the hammer that br.nn tlie flint,
which in turn strike open th sleel pan
and dropa its apark into the priming la
the under part of the stix-k, just behind the
guard, ia a tiny hole into which ia thrust
a amall quill, probably a primary quill of
the golden winged womliecker. This
feather ia used to put into the "touch,
hole" to prevent the powder from run
ning out during the process of loading.
The ammunition for thin gun ia thn
finest Kentucky isiwdcr, leaden bullet
molded by hand and aoiue wrong, thin
white cotton (shilling for "patching." The
bullets aro carried in a kjiicIi, the pow
der in a llnely carved horn, and the charge
ia measured in a lioar'a tooth charger.
To load the gun, put the feather in the
touch hole at the pan, mr in a boar's
toothful of powder nt the muzzle and
then, Hpreailin? the patching clutli over
the mouth of the bore, lay on a build

which follows will lose a great deal of its

that no other method can equal. It is
better than when mixed with the solid
manure, for even in this case quite a
fermentation will soon set in. But there
is another side to the question. Ine
