MOTHER DEMDIKE.— Worcester, Mass., Noy. 17.—Editor 
Fovest and Stream; (did not Intend to convey the idea that 
Mother Demdike invariably won over the dogs that [ men- 
-tioned in my last letter. I know that they have beaten her, 
but Talso know that she has wou over them as many, if not 
more times, than they over her. Ii she had so many faults as 
you aseribe to her, would it haye been possible for her to have 
won the cup over champion Memnon, who is considered the 
best’ greyhound dog in Hngland, at Cardiff, in July, 1554? 
Would the special correspondent of the ForESt AND STREAM, 
in giving his report of the last Warwick Show, held in April, 
1884, say, im speaking of Mother Demdike, who had just won 
first and cup; ‘We saw her here for the first time, and con- 
sider her the most perfect greyhound we have ever seen.” 
Could she have beaten Acalia, at Pembroke, Aug. 28, 1884, 
who the day betore af Tenby, won over the well-known Lan- 
cashire Witch? Would she at the same show haye been 
awarded the cup for the best dog of all classesover G. Raper’s 
weli-known bulldog Robinson Crusoe, 8. Darber’s celebrated 
retriever champion Doctor, and Messrs. Charles’s Clumber 
Psycho? Were she so faulty how could one of the judges, 
whom I mentioned in my last letters, and who is considered 
by English exhibitors in general as one of the best judges on 
greyhounds they have, have said, when asked if he had ever 
seen a better greyhound, ‘I don’t believe I ever have”? The 
only reason that I can give for her becoming so inferior as 
you would have her in the last four months is, that she has 
the same trouble that affected so many dogs, in your opinion, 
ab the last New York Show. Ifa voyage is going to changea 
greyhound who in England was considered one of their best, 
to such an ill-shapen creature as you would picture her in 
we report, it is full time that the matter was looked up,—

_ THE OLHATE REMEDIES.—Philadelphia, Pa.—Zditor 
Forest and Stream: Last week I sent you a few words on the 
course of treatment I had found so successful in cases of lice 
on dogs. Inow wish to say something more in fayor of the 
oleates and parisitic diseases. The oleates have placed in our 
hands the most effectual means for the treatment of parasi- 
toids that are known, Mange and the eezematous condition 
of the skin that we so often see in dogs have been rapidly 
cured with the oleate of copper. Here is my Jocal treat- 
ment: Wash the affected parts clean, and soften up the crusts 
and stales by poultices or hot water mops and cosmoline. 
Clip the hair from the immediate parts affected and for some 
distance around it, the better enabling one to remove all ac- 
cumulated dirt, scurf, ete. An ointment made of cosmoline 
and oleate of copper of twenty per cent. strength, applied 
twice daily, will cure the parasitic diseases quicker than any- 
thing else. Possibly a bad case of mange would require the 
strength to be increased to fitty per cent. ‘of copper, Remem- 
ber that I lay particular stress upon the oleates, and don’t be 
fooled in thinking otherwise. These oleic preparations are 
erandly effective, cleanly and non-poisonous, and not in the 
least irritating. Just remember — parasites —oleates.—San 
Souct KENNELS. 
comments on the extortion some railroads allow their baggage- 
masters to practice upon sportsmen traveling with dogs are 
timely. Another railroad which allows and practices the 
same extortion is the Long Island Railroad. If any Brooklyn 
sportsman desires to go eight or nine miles out on the island to 
Jamaica or further, rabbit shooting, with a couple of small 
beagles, he must pay the baggaze-master 80 cents for the dogs 
for the trip—nearly double the fare charged for himself. Not 
satisfied with the aboye fee, the officials say they do not hold 
themselves responsible for any loss of or injury to any dogs, 
as they do not carry the dogs, but allow the baggage-master 
to, Also,if a person takes a small dog in the smoking-car 
with him under the seat in his own care, he has the same fee 
demanded of him, The above is a considerable contrast to 
many Western railroads, which not only make no charge for 
dogs when accompanied by their owners, but absolutely refuse 
to allow their baggage-masters to accept any fee, under pen- 
alty of dismissal.—s. 
THE MASTIFF PUPPIES.—Editor Forest and Stream: 
Referring to letter of Ma. Gregg, in your issue of the 6th inst., 
in which he alludes to the formation of skull of the Winlawn 
Kennel’s bitch puppy that received first prize at the West- 
tmninster Kennel Club’s Non-Sporting Dog Show, held last 
month, l beg to say the swelling which he noticed was along 
the suture between the parietal bones, running back to the 
occipital bone and was the result of an accident a few days 
before the show, that it has since disappeared entirely, and 
that if any one cares to verify this statement I will be pleased 
to haye him examine the puppy’s head.—W. P. Stevenson, 17 
Broad street (New York, Noy. 14, 1884).

TORONTO, Can., Nov. !7,—Hditor Forest and Stream; Your 
eriticism of Mother Demdike is quite correct and fully in- 
dorsed by the judgment of my old school-fellow and chum, H. 
S. Miller, of Sherbourne, Dorset, Hng., with whom I have had 
inany a good day’s coursing, and in fact at one time knew 
more about grey hounds than collies.—-GRENVILLE HARSTON.

food which the puppies eat with great relisb. Is not this an extra-

and does not seem to be sore. This morning I noticed his chops were 
swelling quite badly. Appetite not good; seems to be dumpish. Can 
_you tell me what the trouble is. and what Tecan do forit? Ans. Itis 
difficult to prescribe from your description of symptoms. It may be 
an abscess or a tumor which in time will require to belanced. You 
had better get a veterinary to look at the animal, 
Hounp, Brooklyn.—I have a seyen months old beagle hound, who 
has been a lithle weak and crooked in forelegs. So 1 have been feed- 
ing her teaspoonful powdered bone daily. Every time she comes in 
the house, she oes to a place where the plaster on the wallis broken 
and tries to eat the same, Please tejl me if I should feed her any- 
thing to satisfy her taste for the plaster, and if so what, how, and in 
what quantities? Ans. You do not say what her diet is, but she evi- 
dently requires bone-making food. Increase the powdered bone to 
one tablespoonful daily with her food which should consist chiefly of 
oatmeal and milk with a little lime water—a tablespoonful addeJ: 
F, G., Erie, Pa.—My cocker pup was four months old yesterday, 
and has been the picture of health in every respect but one, viz.: For 
about six weeks he has been troubled more or less by an eruption 
along his belly and sides, pnder his arinpits, and on his legs. A small 
gathering of pus would appear. and in a ccuple of days break, form 
adry seab, and itch, ete., and which, from all can learn, is blotch; 
or puppy mange. The kennel peopie trom whom I bought him have 
twice sént mea bottle of a Huid ointment, which seemed to be com- 
posed of flour sulphur, turpentine, etc, Dhis removed the eruption 
Capt. Foster's bitch Brenda (Pride of the Border | 
for the time being, but after a few days it would appearagain, The 
last application I made was about a week ago, using the last of thé 
ointment; there were then two or three scabs which had not entirely 
disappeared, now there are eight or ten spots just developing along 
his belly. Jt seems to me he ought to have something internally first 
and that the ointment should then be applied to remoye the disease 
after it was driven to the surface. However, I know nothing about 
dog’s diseases or their cure, and bez you to prescribe for him through 
your columns. He is fed three times a day. His food has been 
cooked yegetables, bread and milk, and latterly well-cooked meat 
twice a week has been giyen him; have earefuliy avoided grease in 
his food, His kennel is warm. dry and clean, but [am afraid he has 
not had sufficient exercise owing to bad weather. One trouble has 
been that the oitmext jwould run out before the last trace of the 
eruption had disappeared, and before I could get more it would get 
under headway again, and not having the formula for it, Thad to 
await the pleasure of the kennel people. Ans, The ointmentis very 
well, but does not reach the seat of the trouble. Trythis: Donovan's 
solution, one and one-half drachms; simple syrup, one-half ounce; 
water to make four ounces; dose, twelve drops three times a day for 
three days, then inerease dose to fifteen drops for three days. In- 
erease dose by three drops every three days until two teaspoonfuls is 
reached, then reduce three drops each three days until one-half tea- 
spoonful is reached, when stop. This medicine is polkon (arsenic) 
and must not be givenon an empty stomach. If the animal loses 
apyeule or yomits, you are giving too much and must reduce the

April 1, 1878.—A very valuable retriever of mine had been losing his 
coat and looking yery thin, and although treated by a veterinary and 
dog fancier, he did not in any way improve, so I gave him one-half 
of a Naldire’s Powder, and in twenty-five minutes he evacuated 27 
feet of a very broad tapeworm. My dogis now doing well on one-
