A CAT fiOUmrASD. -Whitehall, N. Y.— While writing I would 

 like to ask van if von ever heard of a dog that would kill and eat a 

 cat? Theroij one here that is halt pointer and half spaniel that 

 lev- "killed and en I en three, at least. The above can be verified by at 

 least six pemotm. C. McV. T. 



S;.-' ;:u--». j toll. O. S., in Kennel Management. Feb. 24. Thecal 

 destrover and gourmand, of which you write, which we understand 

 is a pure cross between a pointer and spaniel is a most valuable pro- 

 duction. Would that there were more of the breed spread broadcast 

 throughout the laud. Had we such a treasurer in out backyard o' 

 nights we would consider him a bootjack economist of the first 

 water. Moreover, he would unquestionably pay for himself in 

 china, hah- brushes and toilet soap the first mouth of his engage- 

 ment. 



AMERICAN EXHIBITORS ABROAD.— Whether the New York 

 Show of this year will have many entries from across the water at 

 this tun- it is* hnposdhlo lo state, but from a private letter we learn 

 that Mr, Dal; Bl i willing to make all arrangements with foreign 

 exhibitors and aid them with his experience. Here arises the 

 question. Will American dog owners at an earlv date try for Homo 

 of the glorv and nitres on the other side V We believe that there 

 are many dogs now m this country that would hold their own in 

 any company on Hie bench ; and wo would not be surprised to see 

 several of our best kennels represented, and successful, too, before 

 manv year- have gone over our heads. American bred horses have 

 won far beyond the expectation of their owners during the post 

 twelve months, and there is no reason why our dogs should not win 

 in an international field trial. Why not haye an international 

 rield trials V 



"THE WEEKIE LITTLE BEAGLE "— Evansville, Ind., Feb. 

 28.— I am glad to know that yon are working for the beagle. I 

 think by oiTe.ring special Tiri/cs you will engender a permanent 

 interest. The in tides of Elmore and also of Pownall wero 

 splendid. Will they not wrile mure o,i L l,e snbieet ? i Im.vo kil'. d

 pur pxcelk-nre is the fox-chaso. not with guns, as many people de-

 natelv, my professional earns do not permit of a fox-chase, as in 

 my y.Junn'ci' days, lieuco I will keep a small pack of beagles aud 

 run 'hares, as the best substitute for that royal pastime, the fox- 

 chase. -G. F. Center, M. D. 



OLD-TIME POISTEBS— Golnmlras, 0., Feb. Vi—Mitor Forest 

 and Stream : I have been a reader of Forest asp Stream for a long 

 tune and have never vet troubled yon, although strongly tempted 

 to indorse the v„„u of a gentk-mau from the South who in a few- 

 numbers back condemned' the race of setters, root and branch, in 

 no doubtful terms, and longed for the old-time, wiry-haired, heavy- 

 gel pointer. His experience has been mine. Like him 1 have 

 owned the blues! of blue blood, with pedigrees as long as a man's 

 arm. vet, with all their pride of ancestry, I have been doomed lo 

 disappointment and still look for the old-time pointer.— Counters. 



ENTRY BLANKS FOR THE STUD BOOK and the Second 

 Annual Field Trial Derby will be mailed as soon rb they are 

 printed. Mr. CiuuieB lit Bouge, the late SfiorBfery of the National 

 American Kennel Club, has the matter in charge and expects to 

 forward the blanks to Mr. Dew within a short, time, Mr. Dew de- 

 sires flit to notify the public of the reason why the blanks have 

 not beau distributed and state that no legitimate, entry will be 

 barred for this reason. 



MR. SNELLESBURG'S LAVERACKS.— In another column we 

 notice the piio'h.i-n r,v Wr. A. H. Moore, of Philadelphia,, of SI,. 

 Snelleubprg's Thunder and Lady Laverack, and that or Daisy 

 Laverack by Mr .1. H. Goodsell, "of this city. Mr. Snellcnburg 

 writes us: '•' Since I put my advertisement in your paper I oonld 

 have sold one hi idled Laverack doe,, if the letters I have received 

 are any indication." To this we would say. that careful and intel- 

 ligent breeJors like Mr. Hnelleuburg will never fin' 1 it aiflienlt to 

 procure their price when thev can offer such remarkably fine stock 

 as the above named dugs. 



MORTALITY OF STOCK.— Letters from almost all sections of 

 the country advise us ot the almost unprecedented mortality of 

 stock during the. past winter. Not only have the young dogs suf- 

 fered, but manv of the old and tried companions in the field have 

 galloped on to 'other "-happy hunting grounds." Mr. Kelly, who 

 hr"- charge of lb. Caltunore' Kennel Club, mites that from what be 

 can learn nine-tenths of the young dogs shown at the Pittsburgh 

 show have since died of distemper. 



A FINE HULL TERRIER.— Mr. John Wills, of this city, has 

 received from our friend, Mr. Hugh Dalziel, the present of a very 

 promising bull terrier puppy, seven mouths old, pure white in 

 color Young Victor, as the youngster is called, was bred by Mr. 

 R J Hartley. Bowdon, of Cheshire. England, who owns the best 

 kennel of bull terriers in the world. Young Victor is out of Cham- 

 pion Violet (E. K. C. S. B.. 7G36) by Young Turk (E. K. C. S. B., 

 6599). We congratulate Mr. Wills ou nis good luck. 



KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 



89 Can'a^daioua. — I had a cocker spaniel about six months old. 

 He 'seemed to ha ve r.ak< n cold : at first be noted stiff aud dumpish : 

 eyes looked somewhat red, but still bright ; did not seem inclined 

 tb eat much for a few davs. Then he commenced having fits of 

 shivering, no matter in how warm a place. These shivering fits 

 gradually became more frequent until after ten days or two weeks 

 I lirst noticed anything wrong with him : then he began to 

 run a little at the eyes— very little— and refused to eat or drink any- 

 thing but water Then J began to treat bun for distemper ; but he 

 gradually became worse, shivering all the time, although I kept 

 him in a" warm room night and day. His head seemed very hut 

 aud throbbed very violently on top— YOU could see and hear it 

 throb. His nose did not run exactly, although the nostrds seemed 

 to fill up and impede the breathing, which was very much labored. 

 All this time for "about fight or nine days he would cat nothing, 

 although he did not seen, to waste very fast. Still he grew weak 

 and seemed to have great difficulty in breathing. He would have 

 spells of getting up ami trotting around the room from oueside to the 

 other until the last day, when he could uot get up Hechduotery, 

 butatfll seemed to be 'hi great pain, and finally died. I treated him 

 for the distemper, mid supposed he had distemper fits. The last 

 day when 1 went to him in the morning he raised up his head and 

 snapped at me and struggled a few seconds but could uot get up. 

 The night before he died, while moving around the room, lie 

 turned around aud snapped bis jaws once. 1 was expecting the 

 distemper fits and was careful to keen out of Lie reach. He seemed 

 to have what, I supposed to be ilie distemper smell. Do you thmk he 

 had the distemper cur"! do you think he had what is called distem- 

 per fits ? His 1 iraiic was evidently affected ; still he did not seem to 

 have regular fits. We fed him milk for a day or two berore be. 

 died, but when he commenced to snap we did not attempt it any 

 more. Aus.— The dog had inflammation of the lining membranes 

 of the brain iJiftiiagUis). Such cases are generally fatal. It was 

 not distemper. 



90 J. A. W., Fargo, Dakota.— My bitch haR had distemper and 

 worms and was t, cited for same in about two weeks from time she 

 was taken sick'. She was then stolen from me and kept in a damp, 

 cold cellar, where I afterward found her. At this time she oould 

 not stand on her feet and remained in that helpless condition six 

 weeks or more, since which time she has staggered around but is 

 gaining strength and is iu good spirits Last week her eyes began 

 to run and a in i a <t a luend I gave her fifteen drops of 



" Haarlem Oil" daily until to-day, when she commenced to pass 

 little white worms about one-fourth of an inch long. Her nervous- 

 ness is increasing and is more marked when she is sleeping. I have 

 given her quinine in doses of one gram once a day ; out previous 

 to thai supposing the nervousness was occasioned by derangement 

 of the heart, I gave hoi two drops of the extract fluid of digitalis 

 twice a day, but with no effect. Can you aid me to cure her i 

 Ami.— The treatment indicated is a tonic one. You should have 



given more quinine ; say two grains threo timo a day — one grain 

 would do very little good. If yon add one-sixteenth to one-eighth 

 of a gram of extract of mix vomica to each two grains of ipiiiiiu,: 

 it may be of service The digitalis was not indicated and was 

 lik Iv o (I,, barm. For tho pin worms give injections of salt and 

 water, (live nutritious food of a light natnru ; warm and well 

 ventilated kennel. 



91 W. 13. O., Abilene, Kansas.— Your puppy has the mange 

 The following is u good cute for it: Pondered bi-carbonale of 

 potash, one ounce; powdered white vitriol, one-qunrler ounce; 

 gull-sulphur, two ounces ; lard, eight ounces ; mix aud nil) well 

 into the skin. Feed no meat aud administer two drops of Fowler's 

 solution of arsenic twice a day in fond.
