wdl by experience will fly into the cover instead of out. We

 sired result. 

 As SiOa us you observe that he has scent command him 

 ■ ■■-,<, Btul keep him on point until you are nearly beside 

 h n, without stopping, you must cluck to him to go 

 on, i-e nnpahying the cluck with a wave of the hand, and 

 walk ji-.t behind him uutil he again stops. .Snoubl he he 

 unwilling to move on at your first order, you must not stop, 

 neither should you pass by him, but keep stepping, even if 

 you have tp pul your feet in the same place, and again 

 cluck, Or perlmos yon may li we to speak to him. Should 

 he sili remain Staunch, the choices are that, the scent is 

 strona, ami that the game may be close by, in which case 

 you should advance and flash the bird, and, if the conduct 

 of your dog has been irreproachable, kill if you can, but 

 on 'no account must yon shoot unless bis behavior has 

 been all that yon could wish : for one of the most impor- 

 tant lessons to impress upon his mind is that, just so surely 

 as li" 'I tea not perform his part in a proper manner, just 

 so sure v nobirds will be the result. Do not forget, if 'his 

 pertor nance Ins been worthy, to pet and praise him, while, 

 on the other band, If no bird has been found, >ou should 

 return b -laud hiru and order him On, and let him know that 

 this is not the proper way, hut, that he must move on until 

 he is new the bird. This is rather a delicate matter, and 

 often requires nice discrimination to determine just what to 

 do, for there is not a second to be lost in deliberation, and 

 Instant action Bhould be taken} f Or it you hesitate your 

 dog may become addicted to making false points or pot- 

 tering, and, rather than this, it will be far better to scoae 

 an occasional flush. Bhould he flush a bird by moving up, 

 oven if you have ordered him on, you must instantly check 

 him, and bring him back to !he place where he should have 

 remained Staunch, and keep him at to ho a short time, while 

 you chide him lor ihe offence. After a tew lessons of this kind 

 — perhaps, even, on the second occasion— you should order 

 him on a little before you reach his side, and at each succeed- 

 ing time you should do this still further away, until he will, 

 at the motion of the hand, move on when you are at 

 quite a distance from him. If he is possessed of a reason- 

 able amount, of intelligence, and you pursue the proper 

 course, he will soon understand just what you wish, and 

 always stop at the Brat indication of scent and look at 

 you for i lie signal to go on, instead of following up the 

 trail, perhaps out of your sight, and oftentimes causing 

 you no end of trouble to find him. He will also soon 

 learn to move on of his own accord when the scent is not 

 jnst to suit, provided he knows that yon cau see him and are 

 coming his way. This accomplishment is invaluable when 

 shooting in thick covert, or heating the snipe meadows, 

 while it Can work no possible harm either on the prairie or 

 IDDle. Of course, we cannot give instructions that will 

 cover every case, as there arc so many different circum- 

 st.Miices connected with the events ot a single day. and the 

 dispositions of tht> different animals are also so widely dis- 

 i possible tor us to give anything more 

 than a general outliue of the Course to be pursued. We 

 lake it for eranted that the reader of ordinary intelligence 

 ■ in, has followed us Ihus far has gained some idea of 

 our system, and that his own good sense, coupled with 

 the intimate knowledge that he must possess of the dispo- 

 sition and intelligence of his pupil will safely tide him 

 over any minor difficulties that may occur.

NAMES -Vermillion.! Erie co., O., Jau. 10,— Editor Forest uml 

 Stream : Noticing Mr, Cameron's communication in Dec. 29th 

 issue, I "plead guilty" to the charge, but must do so on the 

 grounds of " ignoranoe of the law," but I believe that does not 

 excuse any one. Net being "posted." on the custom among dog- 

 I may have encroached upou their rules ot oropri.ry, noj 

 being aware that there was " patent" ou names or anything ol the 



sort. I named my dogs j list as I happened to, but did not - j i 



to name after any others. If I did, it was an oversight iu ignor- 

 ance of what the others names were. It is difficult to keep track 

 of idl the names. This being the rule, it would be well for the 

 Editor to keep a list aud post those who enter if they have a. name 

 belonging to another. Well, I can change '• Spot" to " Spottie ;" 

 "Bess" T have changed ;•' Dolly" I iuteuded for "Dally." and 

 " Daliy'' is her name. " Lulu" may be called " Lucy." I did not

WHO* OWNS HER?— Editor Forest and fflreami 1 have a 

 lemon and white setter bitch, given rue by a person named 

 Thompson, who savs he found her m Buffalo, and he believes 



she was lost from one of the Anchor Line boats last August by 



jentlemen jdini shooting, 3he had oh, whentouud, a vary 



nice nickel-plated eolar. She is a very nice animal, very I 

 tionate, and seems to have been handled. She is not gttl 

 and also has a piece off her tail. Mr. Thompson says he adver- 

 tised her iu the Bufhdo papers. If any sportsman that you know 

 of ha- lost her, be can get her bvwritmg to my address, Joux 11am-
