ENGLISH AND AMERICAN FISHERIES. 



r IM!F. principal object for which the Fisheries Exhibition was 

 1 inaugurated was to improve the condition of the fisher- 

 man, and to place the prodlice of liis industry within more 

 easy reach of the li-h eating comnmnitv. No better scheme 

 could have been devised for this purpose than that of Mr. 

 Birkljcelc. who has proposed that a New England fishing 

 schooner should be chartered in the United Slates, and be sent 

 to England for the purpose of giving a practical example of 

 the working of the purse-cine net : this proposition appears to 

 ig the cordial Support of most of those interested in 

 our fishing iudu-tries. Such of our readers who saw the ac- 

 count which appeared in our last, week's issue of the method 

 of operating tli in net. and the work performed by it. will per- 

 ceive that a new .md powerful apparatus tor the capture of 

 herring, mackerel, and other free-swimming fishes is likely to 

 be introduced :■■ (he Knglish fishermen bv the proposed expe- 

 dilior.. It ma\ be. of course, that the purse-seine will piove 

 in En rh'sh waters thau it has been found to be in 

 American, but this point can only be determined bv aoiual ex- 

 periment, and it wo dd seem that no more appropriate way of 

 ■■:-.■ surplus funds f the exhibition could be 

 found than in gaining' the necessary experience. We think, 

 : ,.r '■' would be a. pity to confine the expedition to 

 '.■'' ir: ] ofotl ." - i" of taking fish, there being several methods 

 i ■, :.< ■■:•-■ ' ::: America and unknown in English waters, with 

 which it would be well to experiment. The Americans have a 

 svstcm of fishing with long lines which they call trawling. An 

 'iii'-line smack will carry about ISO lines, each forty 



... I-, and armed with as many as 4,880 hooka. These 

 iin-'s to i a ad hatded from the smack herself. A New 



England schooner will cany four to six small boats caUed 

 dories, each of which will be maimed bv two hands who M-ill 

 handle almost as much gear as a whole smack's crew will with 

 us. Again, there is a distinct fishing carried on in American 

 wa f "is I o which we have no exact parallel in England This 

 ;:■ iiili.nit fishing which is pursued principally by the 

 schooners of Gloucester, Mass.. on the ocean banks of the 

 northwestern division of the Atlantic. This fishing supplies a 

 very causal. . • ; ttal fish foot! of New England 



and it has F - -n we might establish a like indus 



try 1n England, - rap oauig American methods of capturing, 

 cleaning and packing the fish were adopted. 



Altogether it would seem that there is much that we could 

 profitably borrow, from our brother fishermen on the other 

 side of the Atlantic, as no doubt there is much they could 

 learn from us. 



Toe American fishermen have, however, a great advantage 

 over their fellow craftsmen here. The United States Fish 

 Commission n as established by a resolution of Congress rather 

 more than twelve years ago, when Professor Spencer F. Baird 

 was appointed to the honorary post of the head of the Com- 

 mission. Since that time, the Commission has been steadily 

 laboring in the interests of the fishermen and the fishing 

 in : ! 1 1 - v ■,' ..nd notion--' of nnv degree of importance has ari 

 which has not been the subject 'of investigation. The Ci 

 mission is composed oi men of very different tvpes. To quote 

 Professor Gobde, 'Pure and applied science have labored 

 together always in the service of the Fish Commission, their 

 representatives working side by side." Men eminent as 

 zoologists have joined with those who have, been ali their 

 lives 'practical fishermen in the investigation of subjects that 

 have arisen in connection with the work to be done. This 

 harmonious co-operation of practice and theory, would be 

 possible only under the. leadwship of one possessing high ad- 

 ministrative abilities and great personal influence; indeed, the 

 lar-e sums that are voted yearly from the United States 

 revenue for the work of the Fish Commission could only be 

 obtained by a pnan intrusted with the confidence of the people

 built a hatchery i n their fishing grounds in Oneida county, 

 N. Y., and will operate it this winter. • It is proposed to hatch 

 brook trout, lake trout, land-locked salmou and "'frostflsh." 

 The latter is one of the small Coregvni, and is a favorite in 

 the woods. Two McDonald fish jars were sent ap to the club 

 last week, and i hese will be used for frostfish. Gen, R. U.

THE TEETH AND GUMS OF DOGS. 



* FREQUENT cause of suffering and constltutioui 

 -lJL turbance, especially in pet dogs of the small breed, is an 

 abnormal condition of the teeth and gums. The former may- 

 be decayed, coated with tartar, or loose— the latter congested, 

 swollenand spongy. Not only do these conditions of the teeth 

 and gums irritate and annov r the subject, but also distress the 

 fair owner, for both give rise more or less to an unpleasant 

 state, which renders the animal rather an object of offense, 

 through the fetor of his breath, than a creature to be ad- 

 mired, nursed and petted. Yet the animal is more to be sym- 

 pathize..! with tliaii discarded, because the sa 

 work in producing these offensive conditions 

 with this difference, that we can avoid it, w 

 who is dependent upou us for his food and ma 

 So long as individuals will persist in disobeyii 

 and making the carnivorous stomach a. recep 

 tionery, the hundred and one tit-bits of the 

 scraps" and other oddments, even so long 

 diseased teeth and gums, and foul breath. 



During my professional career, numerous eases where the 

 latter conditions have existed have been brgoght under my 

 notice. In some instances extraction has been compulsory; 

 in others, and bv far the. majority, the scaling instrument and 

 dietary orders have rendered removal unnecessary, and brought 

 back a normal condition of gums and breath. Prevention is 

 better than cure; therefore, cause and effect are to be duly 

 considered in these as m every other case. If the tooth is loose 

 and the gum spongy, owing to a deposit of tartar, removal of 

 the latter is clearly indicated. If the breath is foul, owing 

 to disordered digestive organs, a proper dietary course, with, 

 in some instances medicine, will render it again sweet. Re- 

 moval of the cause is, in fact, removal of the effect; whereas 

 treatment of the latter, regardless of the former, can only end 

 in disappomtment. 



But not only do decayed, loose and tartared teeth and 

 spongy gums arise from injudicious feeding and gastric de- 

 rangement, but. having arisen, they in then- turn produce 

 other diseases, and so the rotten stump, the loosened fang, the 

 mass of tartar, and the bleeding gum, claim more than a pass- 

 ing. notice. Decayed teeth have, a heavy list' of concomitants 

 at their back. Painful swellings, abscesses and sinuses of the 

 cheek, structural changes in the jaw bone, leading to tumor, 

 laceration of the tongue, canker, constitutional irritation, m- 

 digestion, and intestinal disease. In the dog it is always ad- 

 visable to remove a decayed tooth, unless the gum be swollen 

 and suppuration is established, when it is best to postpone the 

 operation until the inflammatory action has subsided, in the 

 meanwhile painting the gum over the fang of the diseased 

 tooth with weak tincture of iodine will afford relief," and a

 Abscesses no; unfreqnently form on the jaw, and dischargo 

 fo.'tid pus; ulcerative granulations follow, and the animal is 

 reduced from inability through ]iaiii to lap or masticate, to a 

 mere skeleton, and considerable inflammatory fever is estab- 

 lished. Ulceration of the gum also arises from gastric derange- 

 ment. Rotten stumps, loose or overcrowded teeth, and tartar 

 should be removed, also necrosed bone, if it exists. Alterative 

 medicine is advisable, auinial food must be avoided, the diet 

 consisting solely of soft, nutritious, and plain matters. The 

 mouth with advantage may be gargled with an antiseptic and 

 astringent mixture. Uype'rtiophy of the gums is occasionally 

 met with in dogs; small" dense tumors, n-sembling the gum in 

 structure, arise from the periosteum of the alveoli. These 



. u-twaoreafco sometimes form between the neos and 



readily induced lieinori haec. and the liability to inl i fere wilh

In conclusion, I would urge upon canine fanciers to pay 



more regard to the mouths oi their pets than L- al present e.\-

should not continue in old age as good as in youth. Recently
