SOUND ADVICE.— If the farmers of th.- country w bo own 

 worthless dogs— cms without any breeding— could'h.- induced 

 to destroy then, and substitute one well bred shepherd pup. not 

 more, to each farm, the wealth of everj farming community 

 would b.- vastly increased in many ways. Farmer-, with a 

 little tact in getting along with a dog, would soon find the 

 collie saving them many a step. Eager and anxious to learn, 

 Milling to do everything within his power, the youngdog 

 needs onlv a wise and patient restraint, an it". Hi.'.'-ni dir.-e-

 of black spaniels and cockers, as no matter how carefully we 

 breed blacks, in every litter there appears one or more solid 

 liver pups which have till the distinguishing mark- of the 

 black spaniel except the color. I have not had myself suf- 

 ficient experience in the breeding of tricolored Spaniels ... 

 know exactly how I hey arc bred, but. in appearance they 

 strongly resemble the liver aud white and bW-k and white, 

 and think they should be classed together. In this I shonl.l 

 like to be instructed b> Greenhorn' 1 or any breeder oi (In- 

 most beautiful spaniel. Black and while spaniels ought not 

 to be classed with blacks or livers, they are of a different 

 type. 



In conclusion, I hope that the breeders of the various 



classes of spaniels will unite in the lea vor which was so 



well inaugurated three years ago. to snatch from decay the 

 cocker spaniel by lending their assistance to the American 

 Cocker Spaniel Club, by whoso advice already the leading 

 bouch show managers are guided. J. S. Nivkx.

SPANIEL CLASSIFICATION. 

 Editor Fort .-■' and Slretim: 



The letter of "Greenhorn," in your last issue, anent the 

 classification of cocker spaniels, at our bench shows wants a 

 little consideration. I take it for granted, from the nom do 

 plume, that he has never either assisted in the management 

 of ashow or exhibited at one. I may be allowed, therefore, 

 to explain that bench show managers have to be guided in 

 their classification by two things: First, what classes are ne- 

 cessary to improve the breeding of dogs to which they are 

 assigned! Second, what classes will be filled by paying entries? 

 I take the catalogues of the Westminster Kennel Club for 

 1880, 1^1, and 188^'. 



In 1880 there were three classes for cocker spaniels, no 

 weights mentioned, for dogs, bitches and pups. There were 

 thirty-seven entries and -*o(i and three medals given. In lisSl 

 there were four classes given for the same dogs, namely, field 

 spaniels over -Jslhs., dog or bitch: cocker spaniels under iSlbs. 

 ill for dog il) bitch, and a puppy class with an entry of forty- 

 three and prizes amounting to •*!■"> and three medals. In ISSi 

 tii.-re wera five classes) Spaniels other than black over 281bs., 

 dog or bitch; cocker spaniels other than black under SHlbs., 

 dog or bitch , spaniels, black, over !S*lbs., dog or bitch; cocker 

 ■ '.ft .-;;.- . .! ... or hitch; puppy class with an entry 

 of filtv-livcand prizes amounting to .-''... and one medal. 



£hese were all good paying classes for the club, as the en- 

 try money received for them more than covered the prize 



..;•.- in iss-j, when they received sun and 

 paid out on.lv SCo and a medal. 



'Greenhorn" wishes a class made for lemon and white and 

 black, white and tan. It is very questionable whether such a 

 •:..- ■ would pay, as in the show of ivd there wa- but one lemon 

 and white, no black, white and tan: in l x Vi 1 think There were 



two ■ utriee of lemon and white and but one black, white and 

 ... ai:.- a half-bred Knfr Obarlos spaniel. 



If the Westminister Kennel Club would, at the next show. 

 follow the example of the Dominion Kennel Club, and give a 

 do? and bitCh Class m each, it would be tar more encouraging, 

 as nianv breeders have good ones of each sex, but will only 



and white setter bitch, or a litter of puppies 

 belonging to" such a bitch from the Westminster Kenuel Club 

 show of \m will coininuicate with me, care of Forest and 

 Stream, I think I can put him on tic right track to secure 

 hisproperty." 



Mr. (le.orge Ayres, of the Hod anil Gnu Hotel, I'awtiixit.

 scription of- his setter bitch recently lost! She is white, one 

 cur buff the other mottled with red. mange on hind quarters.

A LIVELY TIME WITH THE FOXES.— Macou, Ga.. 

 Jan. 23; IS83;— 1 spent several dars in Jones county shooting 

 quail and had fair success. JIv cousin killed one wild turkey. 

 He uses a pointer and has killed fifteen or twenty turkeys 

 this -ens..;,. 1 went -hooting with Col. R. V. H.. the crack 

 shot of Jones county. We bagged forty quuils between us. 

 the only real good kill we have made this season. Col. H. 

 usually hunts b>- himself, and frequently kills twenty to thirty 

 birds in an afternoon's hunt. I beat him several birds "when 

 we shot and felt quite elated thereby. I anticipated a fox 

 chase on Christmas night, but just as we were ready to start 

 the rain began to fall and we were disappointed. 1 had -peni 

 the day with a friend in Munroe county, who lives a few 

 miles across the Oomulgee River from Cupt, Ridley, and who 

 has some of the same stock of dogs, though he has not given 

 them the attention lhat Ridley has. A few years ago this 

 Munroe friend with a party were after gray foxes. On the 

 third morning thev had two on foot ut the same time and 

 while the two best dogs ran one the rest can-lit ; hi I Of h.-i . 

 A few niinnt. 'Salter Ihe i wo dugs ealilf by in full I -h.l-c. .lie! 

 putting on the pack thev caught this one in five minutes. On 

 the following day they jumped a very large red fox. and alter 



nuining severuf hours all the pack were exhausted but 



dog. This dog chased the Cos alone, frequently having a 

 sight race, and as he would pass the other dogs they would 

 bark, but could not follow him. This particular dog was very 

 remarkable both for speed and endurance, and though 

 always in "ut the death," had never before been known to 

 take hold of a fox. Can you account for t his: We have had 

 very bad weather of late. Shooting has been very poor.—
