Ans. — Regarding making your setter pnp 

 chicken proof, yon should be glad that he is crazy 

 to get at them, as it shows that he is a proper bird 

 dog. 



It is, however, essential to make him chicken 

 proof, and the best cure is to hang a dead chicken 

 about his neck, tieing it to his collar and leaving 

 it there for a few days until he gets to hate the 

 scent of chicken. 



I would, however, put this off until he is well 

 broken on quail, or he may lose interest in the 

 entire bird-hunting game. 



AMBITIONLESS PUPPY 



I enclose a picture of a dog which I have had 

 five days on trial. I believe that she might have 

 been a good dog had she been fed so that she 

 would have had strength to hunt. She was tired 

 out, no desire to hunt, but would lie down at every 

 chance. In the company of another dog she 

 worked better, but alone she was too listless to 

 do anything. I am enclosing you a picture of the 

 dog so that you may see what she looked like. It 

 cost me in the neighbourhood of $6 to have her. 

 I do not censure Field and Stream, but am de- 

 sirous of letting you know how I fared.
