LLEWELLINS vs. POINTERS. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



"Pious Jeenies's" letter published iu your edition of the Uth 

 inst., has been perused by vour readers with much interest. 

 The only tiling ".teenies'* is wrong in, is the blast, lie ■_ . ■ 

 Llewellins. Although correct ie his statement about their 

 having been the victors in nearly all our late trials, he over- 

 looks one fact, namely-, that the breeding of this king- of all 

 setters has been made a -n-eialtv with us for Years. Large 

 amoimts ..f noaej and labor have beea spent to make this 

 strain perfection, audit is now on its zenith. How much do 

 wecarefortl i,.-- ..; ih- noinfer? How very few men 

 really work for him. Point, -r breeding is only in i't, ,i,r.-. e ■■ 

 here, while in Europe iunumeraf.le tield trials have ! ■ '■ ' Ml 

 by ttie same strain of pointers as we have in the United States. 

 The Llewellins have not only really many ni-st-eh.-> do -,s. but 

 also fully as good bitches, consequently produce better pro- 

 geny. Now l,,,w- maul pointers have we in the United 

 States of real first-class quality! Five: Bow. Faust, Croxteth, 

 Don and Sen-nt on. Now, how mo.ny bitches are there as 



produce rivals to l.ewe.lliii- it the bitch stock is not in the 



country. 1 My udvf >■ to pointer men is, buy- or import as good 



1 we wdl ran the Llewellin a very 



ins oulv won one lirst. so far, bu't 



l.lewellin iu every hold 



is," give us a show. "C%e si <■<> 



■o.-s -.lowly trees safely,") as the 



ny years the pointer will win as 



many firsts as the Llewellins ; all I hope is "'Jeehies" -will he

BARBED WIRliFEXCKS.-Hiddetord. Maine, ,la ini.ii v II 

 —Editor /'ores' ...,./ Stream: I have just read your editorial 

 on "Barbed Wire Fences." contained in your issue of Dee. 7. 

 •8a Although I am neither landowner nor hunter, there are 

 one or two points which i desire 10 make or, this 'subject. 

 First, t know from a varied and extensive experience in the 

 West, that a plain win- fence, even though it hasa rail or pole 

 al the Lop, is not ; - effectual a fence as is the 



ha bed wire fence. Cattle soon learn to crawl through a 

 plain wi . fence, aud the wires cannot be .trained tuht 

 euoujh to prevent this. Second, the barbed wirefenu 

 the whole, much it any more dangerous than fences of other 

 kinds. In the neighborhood where I resided intbeWest,tho only 

 oattle which were ever to ipv kiowldge permanentlj- injured 

 by v ire tences, were injured by plain who fences, and 1 have 



known many more injuries resulting from board and rail 

 fences and from stone Walls, than from wire fences of any 

 kind. Third, it is noticeable that the opposition to the barbed 

 wire fences comes not from the owners of the fences, but from 

 philanthropist-, who Lave more pity for breechy cattle, than 

 for hard-working farmers, and from gentlemen of the rod 

 and gun, manv of whom bar, a. ih ••ideef proclivity for scorning 

 premises where they are not wanted.— Albert Donneli,.

 c opinion that it is only a fool who 

 will be inveigled Into paying §100 for a dog. Now, as the (in 

 my own opinion, at leastd fortunate possessor of several 

 dogs, for each one of which i paid considerably more than the 

 siun named, 1 beg to ask why I should for that reason be writ 

 douii a fool, any" more, than' the man who pays 8500 for an 

 oil painting, when he can buy a chi'omo for 5cf-s. Ac-
