TRIGGER AND TRAP.

A QUESTION that comes TO US very
n frequently is: How long viii my
shotgun laste' or How many shots
can I fire from my rifle or revolver
before it wears out?'
The shotgun, rifle or revolver
that Is actually worn cut from
shooting Is a very rare specimen.
In fact, we don't remember ever
having seen one that Outlived its
usefulness simply because Of the
number OF shots that have been
fired through it.
There are two factors, either OF both
of which are TO blame. when fire
arm begins TO show signs Of prema-
ture old age, and, figuratively speak
Ing. shoots with a bad limp.
Some people say it is possible 10
wear a barrel out by cleaning it too
much, and it is probably true under
certain conditions II you clean con-
sistently from the muzzle with n
rusty and dirty cleaning rod and you
are not careful TO keep your outut
free from grit undoubtedly DANA &c

Just how long a firearm VIII last be-
cause 70 is impossible TO tell before
hand what kind Of care 10 Is going 70
get. and the care it receives makes all
the difference between inaccuracy be-
tween a few hundred shots and a lie

A hunter once told US that IN MS
section Of the country they uid NOT
use a high power rifle Tor more Inal
500 shots because. he said, you could
not hit anything with one after tha'
number OF shots. We would be VIII
