F. S. W., Bath, N. Y.— Is there any law m ihia State relative to 

 registering dogs in the Clerk's Offlee. Ans. We know of no law 

 and think that there is none requiring dogs to be rcgiste red. The

 hable to be taxed " shall, irlieneoer requind by any asseesor, de- 

 liver to him a discription in writing of every such dog owned 



him." Penalty for neglect or refusal or false state-

 or approaching a requirement to register.

 some localities, i. e., eea shooting. 3. Yon do not give weight of 

 gun, or length of barrels. 4. Yes. 



20 V. B. M., Baleigh, N. C— WiU you please answer the follow- 

 ing question ? I had a bitch speyed in the latter part of October, 

 1879, m Januaiy, 1880. Came in season, which did not surpnse 

 me, as I understand such to be frequently the case a short time 

 after a bitch is speyed. She is at this time (November) in season, 

 at least nine months between this and her former period. Is this 

 not unusual ? Can she have puppies V Two ovaries were taken 

 from her at the time the operation was performed. Ana. If the 

 operation was properly done your bitch cannot now* have puppies, 

 although she might have conceived during the lirst period. 



G. H. S. — The America differs from recent yachts in being deeper 

 and having an easier biJge, much more dead rise and finer ends. 

 She is less of a bo.<c than the modern ceutreooavrt racing Bchooner. 

 She is faster than anything of her size built since IHiil iu .•Vrnerica — 

 proof that a j>roperly designed keel yacht is not slower than the 

 centreboard. A glance at her model and those of other yachts in 

 the club rooms of the N. Y. Y. C. shows plainly that we have retro- 

 graded since her days, though we are now again beginning to ap- 

 preciate her points, and are building more iu consonance with the 

 principles of naval science, and giving less credence to the clumsy 

 notion that fast boats should sail •' over the water," a meaningless 

 and utterly impossible supposition, wiiich produced such uncouth, 

 dangerous specimens as the MoUawlc and a whole class more or 

 less like her. The America is caUed " crank " by landsmen, be- 

 cause she heela a little to find her bearings — something which 

 gives a sailor no concern if an aid to other desirable quaUties.

We have seen the Parker Pocket Scales advertised in another 

 column and should think that they were well fitted for use by sports- 

 men. They are small enough to be oan-ied iu the vest pocket and 

 weigh up to 8 lbs. ^ 



Bethabaea Wood. — The bethabara wood, which is imported 

 from Africa by Messrs. Shipley & Son, of Philadelphia, Pa., for 



rods, is by reason of its elasticity and sti-ength peculiarly adapted 

 to meet the angler's roquii'ements. The wood is highly spoken of 

 by those who have used it ; and promises to increase iu favor as it 

 becomes better known.
