THE NEW YORK "HERALD'' says: "Mr. S. T. Hatn- 

 ' chosen a very appropriate title fur the series of ten 



better employed in educating a docc that was capable and 

 y.-illmg to learn. As a practical guide to the method of train- 

 ing without, punishment Mr. Hammond's book is all that 

 could be desired, and will doubtless be the means of 'man's 

 best fiiend' being better treated than he has hitherto."

KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 



L. V. D., Littleton, N. H.— The symptoms you mention indicate the 

 loss of the pups, although it is not a foregone conclusion. Give her a 

 lie ipoonfol of cod liver oil twice a day, and omit the. aloes. Write 

 result. 



P. W. Ct., Hartford, Conn.— My dog, a very small black and tan 

 terrier, two years old. has a good appetite, but grows poor, and his 

 eyes nm a thick substance and have to be washed quit" often; bis 

 breath also smells very bad,- and he is quite costive. Ans. Keep the 

 eyes elear from discharge, using a wash containing r.grs. borax to ounce 

 of water. Keep the bowels open and regular" with an occasional 

 dose of syrup of buckthorn, a teaspoonfulmore or less as required. 



F. B. C, Detroit, Mich.— A small hound bitch six months old has a 

 lump on her lower jaw about the size of a hickory nut, apparently 

 an enlargement of the bone. On her neck, In close pmsdmicy to this 

 lump, is a sore which discharges a little at times. There is a slight 

 swelling under the skin beneath this sore. 1 noticed these for the first 

 time about two weeks ago. Her general health is good. Ans. Show 

 I eidi to your family doctor; the lump is evidently an enlarged 

 gland due to the contiguous sore, and should disappear when the sore 

 is healed, which it will probably do if kept clean. 



Clarence, Hartford, Conn.— My pointer has dry scabs on his legs 

 iead; has just had the distemper; seems lively, but shakes liis 

 head a good deal. He has got over the distemper. What is the 

 trouble with him? Ans. Kub" sulphur and lard on the sores. The

 to think that he has canker. Should this be the case, take of bromo 

 ehf-walfum a ml laudanum equal parts, and dilute with six times their 

 bulk of water; fill the ear and gently knead the base a short time 

 once a day. Two or three applications will effect a cure. 



F. S. F„ Lynn, Mass.— I have a young Newfoundland just eleven 

 weeks old. His left ear for the last week has been discharging all the 

 time, and he is constantly shaking his head. A week ago his left eye 

 commenced to run, and now both are running, with a light cough. 

 He has no life, and wauts to lie in the stm all day. He is w-ell bred 

 and I think will make a large dog, aud of course I should like to raise 

 him. Ans. Your dog has distemper with inflammation of the ear, 

 known erroneously as canker. Keep the ear and eyes free from all 

 : i ■ ■-. ■ h iip the dog dry, good food, and for medicine give him 

 2 grains of sulphate of cinchonidia twice a day. 



B. deM., New York.— My pointer pup, about six months old, has 

 had tu o fits, while being broken. Do you think they are caused by 

 excess of work, or can it be a disease? The man who has him in charge 

 advised me of the fact, asking if he should continue his training, and 

 I told him to go on with him until I let him know to the contrary 



' mg him to advise me if the fits were repeated. This was about 

 four or five days ago, and have not heard anything unfavorable since. 

 Do you think these fits will diminish as he grows older? Ans. Such 

 fits are common when the pup is teething. In all probability will out- 

 grow them. No treatment required other than good air, food and 

 exercise. 



H. J. P., Oak Hill, Florida.— A setter dog is afflicted with what the

 a mad. He has coughed more or less all winter. He has had

ess and has not. so far as I know, had any dizzy falls. He seems, 

 however, to grow thinner every day, and his breathing is abnormally 

 short, Ans. Consult a good veterinary. Dr. Frank T. Billings, the 

 set miliary of the last show in Boston, could help you without a - 

 doubt. The dog to be properly treated must be seen. 



J. L., Jersey City.— I have collie dog, now eighteen months old

 J- S -.J,- w -s Philadelphia.— I have raised many puppies, and gener- 

 ally with entu-e success, but within a year or two since I have been 

 getting higher bred dogs. I have had the misfortune to lo=e one
