TWO DOC STORIES. 



Editor Forest and Stream. 



It is astonishing bow much of interest one can Hud to your 

 paper. I mean one who don't K" hunting, or fishing, except to 

 dangle aline for a few hours in the Merrimack River, or in 

 some of the. near-by ponds, with the result as a day's work of 

 a few chub or perch or an ugly horn-pout, and who flrca 

 away, when out shooting, at last year's bird's-nests, while his 

 associates all around him are bagging their squirrels and par- 

 tridges. But we have lot<= of newspapers ut our house, and 

 we consider them a uon.i investment. Our boy. who is ml cr- 

 ested in dogs, hat been taking your paper for some time; and 



t.iel.s in it to the ne ; .|. : . ,.'oi' other papers. And I think the se- 

 cret of this is. that vm allow your correspondents to tell then- 

 stories in their own way; and do not shave them down, as 

 some cranky and e_ ,i;-ti al editor- and proofread.:: do. bo 

 some one standard of svntax and etymology. 



There have 1 nso mam "flsh" stories in your paper of late, 



that I thought I would tell von a "dog" storv or wo. A 

 well known, clergyman of my acquaintance had a child who 

 always begged i..r a "( iry". He saidhehad apractice of 

 ahvav- i.iiki! a .b ■«.-. nnlv" and "mak- 



believe" stories raid -■■-■■ believe it. he always pre- 



ferred the "make believe" one-r liuuinn na.uire is th- Same 

 the world ov.r: and 1 should judge that vour readers prefer 

 the "make believe" kind, and that, von succeed admirably in 

 catering to tie ii tast ■■ 



But, jokiug aside, the two dog stones I am going to tell you 

 are veritable and line, and 1 ean give \ou names, dates, and 

 places. Our aforesaid boj has a handsome water smanicl 

 named Scamp. His boast [S, that be came from Ben. But- 

 ler's -tab!.-. Be is a knowing fellow An enthusiastic Adi 

 rondack fisherman and hunter says he never, in an experi- 

 ence of twentv-live years, :mv a more intelligent and 

 expressf ve face on a dumb animal. 



If you have ever been in Lowell, vou know thai the bells 

 are mng three or four times daily for the operatives. And 

 such a clanging: Scamp had a habit of howling in the most 

 doleful strains, wheuevertke bells begin to ring, and keeping 

 it up entil ii,- '• . p i: got to be a nuisance, I was in the 

 yard one a the bells began. Scamp got into 



position, sitting on. his haunches, head in air. and began. I 

 took him by the coil.u. looked him in tb^ face, talked to him 

 "like a father to a sick child," and he stopped. Tbe-naxt 

 morning I was iu the hammock when the bells began; Scamp 

 started up. looked around, got hi- eve on me. dropped his 

 head between his paw,-and uoi a howl: W'i.osars dogs have, 

 no souls? 



The seen.- el the se I story is laid in North Cambridge, 



Mass. The boys round the engine house on North avenue had 

 :. pet dog named Billy. . He was old andwise. and was a 

 general favorite, Tie patrolman stationed on that beat was 

 named Cleveland. 1 think he is there vet. One. fine morning 

 Mr. Cleveland bad '•spruced" up a little more than usual. 

 Shiny boot.-, bra-.- buttons, blue pants. Billy bad been rolling 

 round in a puddle, and came trotting up to the policeman for 

 a morning's romp. He rubbed his -baggy main- ug.iir.~t tie- 

 clean boots and pants, when Mr. Cleveland turned to him. 

 and in a reprimanding tone. said. "Air you nanghtj dog! 

 see what you have done: You have nursed me ail up:" 

 Billy trotted into the. engine-house, and came out holding tlie 

 clothes brush in his mouth, for him to brush olf the dirt. 



Now. Mr. Editor, these are actual occurrences: mid if any 

 of vour readers eau g-ive better examples of the good -> nse of 

 dOgS, I for one would be pleased to lead them. Crosvkmju.

loKKiT POWTVER IN SOLUTION.— The following from

ple-t. nio-i eeonomie.il :n(l efficient. The bulk of the powder 

 is most easily dissolved in water, to Which it at onoe iinpart- 

 the insecticide power. No constam stirring i- ne.-.---arv and 



two gallons of water is ample sufficient to kill tli> cotton 

 ry few full-grown ones, lint that lie- same 



are protected by d-'n-e. long hairs. ' Toting cotton worms can 

 be killed by 25 "grains of the powder stirred up in two quarts 



the water ii b color which, after several hours, 



changes to a light brown. Ou the third day a luxuriant 

 growth of fnngus generally -develops in tin yessel containing 

 the liquid, and it- efficacy is then considerably lessened."'

PARASITES IN DOGS.- Belvidei

 tbi -tion of country, have 1 seen or hoard of such 



all. Many men of education and sound ^euse have
