A QCINNAT SALMON IN GKEENWOOD LAKE. 



Waiuvici; Woodi.antis, Greenwood Lake, N. V. 

 Ktlilor Foret-i and Strram ; 



In November, 1870, a large number of California salmon, 9,000, 

 I believe, were put in Greenwood Lake, lying partly in Orange 

 County, N. Y.. and Passaic County, N. J. They were obtained 

 from Mr. Fred, Mather, (hen of the New York A.piariurn, on an 

 order from Prof. S. F. llaird. through the imtrmiientafity of Mi. 

 W. O. MoPow-!!. rs-i-t.,! : ■■ :--;-:, If. ... .■■ ,■„.-. ..laced at tbo mouth 

 of the different streams. Mr. McDowell also procured from the 

 New York Rfdi Couiiuission a large lot of lake or salmon trout, 

 which were also placed in the lake. 



Since that time we have received no intelligence of any saimou 

 having been caught, and it has been supposed that they had be- 

 come BXtinot bnl Mifli is not the ease, for on the afternoon of 

 Aug. >; : , Messrs, K ,1. Peck and living Brown, of Haverstraw, N. 

 Y., who for a week have been the guests of the genial Mr. jen- 

 uess, at the Eueatnpiiieut Hotel, Warwick Woodlands, were en- 

 gaged in still Ashing for black bass, when the former took a very 

 nice salmon with healgramite for bait. 



The behavior of this fish after being hooked was most peculiar 

 and gave rise to the most extravagant conjecturing as to its char- 

 acter". On being struck he darted with a good deal of vim about 

 six feet and then remained almost stationary for four or live I ' 

 utB8, notwithstanding Mr. Peck with all the power ho dared e: 

 with his eight-ounce fly rod endeavored to sot him in mot 

 when at last he came up quite exhausted and was netted with e; 

 It was talteu to the camp, where it was much admired for its 

 beautiful marks and was the subject of much surprise and inter- 

 est. Jatueb It. Boyd. 



Most unfortunately t ia fish was taken to the hotel aud cooked, 

 and therefore all chance of positively identifying it ia lout. Mr. 

 Boyd said in an interview that the fishermen are familiar with 

 lake trout, and that this fish differed in shape and color from them. 

 It was only about twelve to fifteen ounces in weight and, if it was 

 really a quiunat salmon, it must have been a youug one. "We 

 hope that if more should be caught in this lake, or any other, they 

 will be kuptin alcohol, or sent in ice, to this office, when we will 

 see that they are placed in alcohol and forwarded to Prof. Baird. 

 This course, will place the matter on record beyond all chance of a 

 doubt as to the species caught.

THE CARE OF PUPPIES. 



From vero Shaw's "Book of the Dog," I 'assell. Pett.er, Galpin * r'o-, 

 Broadway, New York, Courtesy of Author and puMlsi.ei B.J 

 A T Uvc weeks old the whelps mav usually begin to be removed 

 **- from their mother, aud it is w r ell to do this gradually, as they 

 suffer less from the separation if this course is pursued ; and by 

 extending the intervals of the bitch's absence they can he almost 

 entirely weaned without any ill effects to either themselves or 

 their dam. The best method is to begin by removing the bitch lor 

 an hour or two in the warmest part of the day, so that, the chance 

 of tbo puppies catching cold is diminished. The periods 

 abseuce can then be prolonged until she ia only r 

 of a night, and llnally ceases to visit them at all, 



It frequently occurs that the teats of a bitch hu.v 

 by the teeth of the puppies when they suckle her 

 tiou. from the influx of milk, often arises when th 

 Considerable relief can be obtained by rubbing i 

 oil well over her stomach, and this cau be rep 

 morning for some days, a mild dose of physic being adnn 

 when the puppies are finally removed. In the event, however, of 

 the milk that she has secreted still bothering her, aud her teats 

 being so tender that drawing some off by ordinary milking is im- 

 possible reconrso may he bad to an ordinary soda-water bottle, 

 heated with hot water, the month of which can be pressed ever the 

 niilamed teat. This has the effect of drawing some of the milk 

 out, and thereby relieving the bitch of a great deal of pain. Or an 

 ordinary breast-pump may be employed. 



On the removal of the whelps from their mother, a very con 

 siderable change for the worse immediately takes place in the d 

 appearance, which is due mainly to the alteration in their diet aur 

 general mode of life. Instead of drawing a certain amount ot 

 sustenance from their dam at the cost of no trouble, they are now 

 cast upon then; own resources for a means of subsistence. The 

 necessity of having to get up and hunt about for the dish which 

 contains : its food is a fact which it takes a puppy's mind a long time 

 to master. Consequently the entire litter often passes many 

 hungry hours during the night, although their food is withiir 

 a few inches of their bed ; aud it is not until a happy thought 

 strikes one of them that it might be a good plan if he got up and 

 looked for something, that they all follow his example, and fall to 

 as only hungry puppies can. Almost, all puppies suffer greatly 

 from w'orms, and immediately on their removal fri 

 means should be taken to rid them of such torments, 

 pro-onceof worms is certain when tho stomachs of puppies 

 aud harden, but they frequently exist without developing 

 symptoms. His therefore the safer plan to administer one i

 Spratt'a worm powders are also excellent remedies, if an owi or 

 has to clear his pets of these pests, and are easily procured of aiiy

It is useless to resort to any remedy for worms in dogs unlets 

 the medicine is administered on an empty stomach. Small dogs 

 should fast for at least twelve hours, aud large powerful animals 

 for twenty-four, before the medicine is administered. It is a' so

 fruitful aud common cause of this has ouly lately crime to our 

 knowledge; We are indebted for the following information to Mr. 

 F. Greshain, whose experience in feeding large dogs is very con- 

 siderable. This geiule.iiia.n has proved by experience that food 

 cooked iu a copper or other boiler is very apt to turn sour as soon 

 as cooked, if allowed to stand and cool in the vessel in which it 

 has been prepared. Care should therefore be taken to remove it, 

 as soon aB the culinary operations are completed, to a cool and 

 clean receptacle, where it. can remain until it is required for the 

 dogs, or ia returned to the boiler, to be added to other meals in 

 course of preparation. 



All draughts should be kept away from their kennel, which must 

 be warm antt dry. or the puppies will not spread and grow as they 

 should do ; aud'a run in a dry yard is imperative, if the weather
