FOREST AND STREAM. 



KOVEMBRH 4, 1880. 



J. D., Dayton, O. — ^The best book on training hunting dogn is 

 "Hutchinson on Dog BreaWng." Vero Shaw's " Ulnstrated Booli 

 of the Dog" is one that should he iii the hands of every (!■ g man. 

 We can furnish uumbera already published. 



J. W. E., PottKtomi, Pa.— My dog is very constipated. What 

 shall I do for him '.' Aus. Want of exercise and absence of proper 

 food ai'B the principal cauHeB. Give sulphur — one teaspoonful — 

 with food once a day for a week, and give two doHes of castor oil 

 three days apart twice. 



J. P. W.. South Orange, N. J.— The fore-feet of my setter bitch, 

 six months old, seem to be out of joint. Or rather oat of shape. 

 She seems to be bow-legged. What in the matter and what can I 

 do for her? Ans. The dog hiw bocn impropurly coniincd. All 

 young dogs should have their freedom. Chaiuiiig young dogs up 

 will get them out of shape, and kennelling puppies in barrels will 

 crook their legs. There is nothing to be done. 



H. K. P., Gambier, Ohio. — I have a puppy ten months old, half 

 Gordon and half Black Russian. In .Tune last he got the St. An- 

 thony's dance. Shall I use a battery? Ans. The puppy has chorea, 

 or St. Vihis' dance. We have heard of St. Anthony's fire, but not 

 of his dance. The battery would probably do more harm than 

 good. Give nus vomica one-eighth of one grain and two grains of 

 quinine made in pill three times a day. Gentle exercise in open 

 air and careful diet may in time bring about the desired result. 



T. E. 1j., New York City.— My dog, a large mastiff, has canker 

 within his ear. The crevices are discolored by a black discharge, 

 and the dog frequently shakes and scratches liis ear. You were 

 kind enough to give a most valuable remedy for the mange ; may 

 I ask yon to add to the obUgation by proscribing for this ti-ouble ? 

 Ans. Remove all dirt and hardened wa.x by careful washuig or 

 syringing of the ears with lukewarm water. If the wax is hardened 

 it can bo removed by poiu'iug in a few drops of olive oil. The fol- 

 lowing preparation should then be appUed : Goulard's extract of 

 lead, one ounce ; glycerine and carbolic acid, one-quarter ounce ; 

 finest olive oil, four and a half oimces. Mix the two first named, 

 and add the oil gently, rubbing them in a mortar. The bottle 

 must be shaken before the luiiment is used. 



C. S., ColeviJk. I'a. -Wc were talking about game biida in om- 

 store the nthci night in it-gard to quail (Bob Wliite), partridges and 

 pheasants. F. claims quail and partridges are the same and K. 

 claims they aie three distinct hu-ds. Which is right ? The discus- 

 sion arose from reading the game laws of Pa., where it read par- 

 tridge or quail. He said it was two names for one bird. Ans. Par- 

 tridge and quail are local names appUed in different sections to dif- 

 ferent bttds. The imrtridge of Virginia is the quail of New York and 

 Connecticut, while the partridge of New England is the "pheasant" 

 of Pennsylvania and the South. In many parts of Tenna^'lvania 

 the tei-ms quail and partridge are indiscriminately applied to the 

 Bob Vfhite (_(h-ty:r virginianus'). In New England, however, the 

 quail is Bob White and the partridge the ruffed grouse. 



A ConsTAKT REAOKK.—My Gordon setter is m good condition 

 and seemingly healthy. He has a watery discharge at the eyes, 

 which is piaticularly noticeable in the morning. Ho is three years 

 old. My pointer, same age, is similarly afflicted, as is also my 

 young pomter, fourteen months old. The latter dog was very sick 

 with distemper, which ended in the foiination of a kind of tmnor, 

 which discharged a quantity of matter and then healed. Tliis was 

 tliree months ago ; since then I have found it diflioult to fatten 

 him. What shall I do for my dogs ? Ans. The two fli-st dogs re- 

 ferred to, if fat, caused from over-feeding, you can improve by 

 giving limited amount of food and regular exercise. Wash lightly 

 once a day with Goidard extract, one drachm, and one ounce of 

 water mixed together. Small doses of sulphur will also be found 

 beneficial. To fatten your young pointer, add meat with the meal 

 and feed three times a day. 



H. S,, Troy, N. Y.— 1. I have a black and tan dog, ten months 

 old. About two weeks ago the inside of his mouth, and outside 

 xuidcr his lower jaw, became very much intlamed and sore, causuig 

 him to rah and irritate it. I treated him by nibbing his mouth 

 with borax water, which entirely healed it, but after a day or so I 

 noticed he wns veiw sore about his throat, and then 1 found that 

 outside there was a sore about the size of a silver dollar. The 

 hair has fallen out, and he is constantly rubbing it, and he can 

 hardly swallow his food. His nose is quite dry, and there is a 

 slight discharge from the eyes. 2. I also have a setter puppy, fom- 



months old, strong and healthy, but when she is excited she can. 

 not retain her urine. Ans. 1. The iwohaljility is that there has 

 been infiammation of eomo one or more of the glands situated 

 under the jaw, in which case a flax-seed poultice, or some simple 

 ointment, such as two ounces of lard uiixod with a teaspoonful of 

 tai-, will afford roUef. a. Am the little bitch growB older she wiU 

 become free from the trouble you Bpeak of. The less yon intimf.^ 

 date her the better. 



y. B. a, Elizabeth, N. J.— Will you please tell me what to do for 

 a hound aged foiu- years who has been troubled since December 

 last with a running from one eye. 1 think he hurt it when hunt- 

 ing hi the brush. There is a small spot about the size of the head 

 of a pin on the dark part of the eyeball, from which a yellowish 

 white matter is discharged. When the eye is washed ho can for a 

 short traie see with it, but it soon fills up agam. At the time of 

 the hijury the eye did not swell, but was very much inflamed. At 

 the present tune, however, the inflammation seems to have disap- 

 peared, but the eye is covered at all tune with the thick yeUowish 

 matter. Ans. Y'ou have allowed ten months to elapse before at- 

 tenduig to your dog. There arc too many sportsmen hke yourself, 

 who, at the ending of the season, neglect their dogs until the be- 

 guming of the next. Such an injury as probably exists is of too 

 dehcate a nature to be prescribed for without seeing the dog. We 

 would suggest that you show hun to a competent surgeon. John 

 Daucier, Central Hotel, Orange, N. J., is one whom wo can recom- 

 mend. The trouble you speiik of may bo one of two kinds. For 

 example, if inflammation of the coniea exists very careful and un- 

 irritating treatment is demanded. If on the other hand it is a small 

 growth upon the cornea, a caustic, accm-ately apphed, or calomel 

 dusted upon it would be likely to remove it. In any case the eye 

 should be kept clean TOth tepid water. 



—One of the firm of John H. Pray, Sons .t Co., wholesale and 

 retail carpet dealers, Boston, Mass., is, or claims to be, a sportsman, 

 and he will at all times take great pleasure in douig a favor for a 

 fellow sportsman in want of any kind or grade of carpeting, rugs, 

 etc, etc, Correspoud with the house, or call and see Mm, and see 

 if he means what he says. — Adv.
