W. T. P., Elizabeth, N. J.— The brands of powder and shot are both 

 of first quality. We have no reason to recommend onoaur,c ■:,<■

A. A. ,M„ Otsego, Oct. -25 I would like the description of full- 

 blooded cocker spaniels. 2. Who is a goad partv to buy from where 

 I can get what I pay tor? Ans. l. For description of cockers consult 

 back numbers. 2, Address our advertisers and read the article In 

 our issue of Oct 20 on dog dealers. 



B. T. K. J., Springfield, o.— Is there anything that will remove fleas 

 from dogs? Aus. Eternal vigilance Is the price of freedom from the 

 wicked Ilea, and only repeated applications of any of the various ar- 

 ticles used will accomplish the end sought. A thorough washing 

 once a week with whale oil or carbolic soap or frequent use of. Insect 

 powder we have found of equal value, but a sure preventive we 

 have yet to seo. 



D. c, B., Toledo, Ohio, Oct. 29.— Please Inform me where seed of the 

 wild celery plant: can be had, now It Is sown, and the most favorable 

 time Of year to sow. We propose i rring to in i reduce this plant luio 

 some of our -'duck pasture " at this end of Lake Erie. Ans. We are 

 not aware that tin wild celery has ever been sown and artificially 

 cultivated. jM r. D. W. Cross, 4s:i Euclid avenue, Cleveland, O., vol- 

 unteered last spring to supply the seed to the readers of the Forest 

 anb stream who might wish to try the experiment Write to him, 

 and inform us of the success of your trial. 



E. G., St. Paul. Minn.— 1. Can a female wild duck be correctly called 

 a mallard? 2. What Is a mallard? 3. A says that a mallard properly 

 speaking Is the male, or drake. B says that the female is also a mal- 

 lard. Which is rWht? Ans Yes. 2. Mallard is the English name 

 of a species of wild duck;thfl term does not have the signification 

 drake in America. A female, or a young bird, is just as much a mal- 

 lard as the adult male. Iu ornithology the aim Is always used to de- 

 note the species. A consultation >t any work on birds will show that

Noosie, Madison, Wis.— We have at this hatchery a pond of go»J 

 llsh and many of them are of a most brilliant go d color, some a solid 

 silver color, others a bronze, and again oth ts partlyj turned— "old, 

 brown and silver— white all the very small ones are of a dead brown. 

 Please tell me at what age they usual y change color. These are 

 very large it appears to me, some weighing nearly half a pound. 



Ans. All young gold flsh are brown when hatched and some never 

 change In color. Individuals In a pond win on en show a great dif- 

 ference in time and depth of coloring. In some waters the young flsh 

 begin to color before they are a year old, and we know of a pond in 

 which finely colored flsh were placed and their progeny had not col- 

 ored at three years old. It seems to dei end on chemical properties 

 and, perhaps, temperature of i he water, or both. No one has experi- 

 mented far enough In this direct i on to do r e r m 1 1 ie o:t one what is the 

 oause of early and late coloration at these fishes. 



A. G., Mlddletown, N. Y— 1. I have two bull terrier pups In Eng- 

 land that I should like to have brought over here, shall I be liable

 Dogs that are lmpoi ted for breeding purpo-es are admitted free of

 matter in charge. 3. First, Pegasus, owned by or. L. F. Martin, P.

W. p., Quebec— I have a well-bred E iglish setter about fifteen 

 months old who runs away when he sees a gun. He Is so frightened 

 that he wtll Stan, i lie minute he hears the clink of , b ■■ locks. Da you 

 think he can be broken of it? lhave taken Mm oar, several times 

 wlhoutagun. He hunt? well and has a good nose. I have had him 

 about six months, and the first Intimation I got of his being fright- 

 ened was from tne breaker I gave him to He sent him back and told 

 me he could do nothing with htm. Would you kindly let me know 

 what to do with him? Ans In the hands or an experienced trainer 

 your dog would probably come out all right. The outy question to 

 be considered Is will it pay, as Ir. will undoubtedly take a longtime 

 and require a large stock of patience to overcome the fault. We 

 have cured several do^s of gun-shyness bv coupling them to an old 

 and experienced dog, who loved the gun. and taking them Into the 

 open ttelis and sho itlng blackbirds ov r them, tasing care to com-
