hree half-inch rubber tubes from a reservoir upon the hill 

 whei-e it is pumped by a hot-air engine. The bottom of the 

 tank was covered witli shells and gravel, and shells were sus- 

 pended on strings across the tank. On the latter there was no 

 ''set," but on the shells and gravel on the bottom many were 

 caught. The temperature in the tank ranged from Joly 8 to 

 Aug. 31, from 69 to 73 degrees Fahr., standing most of the time 

 about 71 degrees. The den.sity of the water being from 1.017 

 to 1.020, and standing steadilV at the latter Hgure from July 

 18 to the close of the season named. At that time, Sept. 1, it 

 was necessary to remove the pipes, clean and tar them for the 

 coming work with cod eggs, and the young oysters were re- 

 moved to the great pond mentioned below. They were then 

 one fourth of an inch in diameter. 



The other trial was made in our large salt- vvater pond which 

 has a flood-gate to hold the water at low tide, and from which 

 we pump. This pond is some 380 feet long, la'i feet wide, and 

 about 4 feet deep. Ten bushels of scallop {Pecten} shells were 

 spi'ead on the bottom and hung on stilngs. The swimming 

 spat was put in at the flood-gate while the tide was flowing in 

 and thus scattered over the pond. On Sept. 19 the pond was 

 drawn down and a splendid set was visible, both on the bot- 

 tom shells and also on those suspended. On the latter there 

 was a set as high as three feet from the bottom, b\it the 

 lower ones .showed more specimens. The following is from 

 the joumalkept by my foreman, Mr. F. A. Walters: 



July 1 — Received first lot of oj^sters, opened one bushel, 

 found 17 ripe females and 1 ripe male: took spawn from these. 

 After 9 hom-s, as there was no sign of life, considered not good. 



July 4 — From >^ bushel, 9 females, 3 males, melt not active, 

 no sign of hfe after 10 hours. 



July 5— From 1^ bushel, 11 females, 1 male. Three hours 

 aftei' taking spawn young were swimming, put in tank. 



July 9— Put in tank 3 pans of spawn. 



July 10— Fi'om 200 oysters 17.5 were ripe females, 18 not 

 spawning and 7 partl}^ ripe males; had to lose all, 



July 11— From 80 oysters 60 ripe females, 4 unripe males, 

 and 16 not spawning. 



July 14 — Cleaned tank. 



July 16 — Ground gate of salt pond had to be taken out owing 

 to a leak, poor tides followed, pond did not fill for five days, 

 could not pump and consequently no cii culation in tank for 

 that time. 



July 20— Opened 70 oysters, found 30 ripe males, ."0 females 

 and 20 not spawning. Took two pans of spaivn at 10:20 A. J " 

 swimming at 3 P. M., put in salt pond. 



July 23— Put spawn from 300 in salt pond. 



July 26— Cleaned tank, could find no set. 



July 28— Put in pond 4 pans of spawn in good order. 



July 31— Put in tank 4 pans of spawn, the best lot taken. 



August 11" Cleaned tank, and put in spawn from 1 bushel 

 oysters. 



August 30— Discovered set in tank. 



September 8— Cleaned tank, found a nimiber of shells and 

 about a peck of gravel with .sets on, but all dead. There were 

 no sets on the hanging shells ; the reason for this, I think, is 

 owing to lack of cm-rent, which should be quite strong, there 

 is more danger of getting too little than too much. Lowered 

 salt i>ond. 



Sept. 19— Found a good set, the hanging shells had sets 3 

 feet fi-om the bottom, bub the shells on the bottom did the 

 best, Fred Mather. 



NEW YORK FISH COMMISSION.— The new hatcheiy in 

 the Adirondack region is nearly completed and will be ready 

 for woi'k this fall. It is situated on the outlet of Little Clear 

 Pond, between the Upper Saranac and Upper St. Regis lakes, 

 on the road from Bloomingdale to the Prospect House. Mr. F. 

 A.Walters, for some years an employee of the Cold Spring Har- 

 bor hatchery, has been placed in charge of the work. It is 

 expected to work with the eggs of trout, lake trout and frost 

 fish.

FIELD DOGS AND FIELD TRIAL DOGS. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



1 do not wish those who compliment me by glancing over 

 this ai-ticle to suppose that I wish to make myself intrusive, 

 to claim any original thought as far as the arguments in this 

 article are concerned, or to think that I wish to place myself 

 upon a pinnacle of authority regarding either field dogs or 

 field trial dogs. The object which prompts me to take up my 

 pen is not one of interference, not prompted by any spirit of 

 rivalry, but npon the other hand, is put forward with the 

 sincere hope that it may possibly be appreciated by at least a 

 few sportsmen, if not by the vast majority of dog breeders 

 thi-oughout the length and breadth of om- coimtry. 



Before entering directly upon the theme of this article, I do 

 not think it out of place to briefly comment upon the utter 

 nselessness of attempting to justly decide field trials, or rather 

 the field quahties of contesting dogs, before at least partially 

 revolutionizing the questionable system of scoring which is in 

 vogue to-day. The fact that dogs, as with other living 

 creatures, do not behave equaUyupondiSerent days, of course 

 cannot at aU interfere with their judging. It is the merit of 

 the dog as he behaves while being judged that can alone con- 

 vince a judge of his worth, but to set a dog down in the field 



as I have seen judges order, and in the short space of one 

 half honr decide justly as to his field qualities is beyond the 

 power of the most astute men associations can appoint as 

 their judges. Like men, dogs are characterized by tempera- 

 ments, which rule their existence, charactei-izrng them iu 

 their kennels or at their work. They are constituted of a 

 harmoniouslj'' working organic system, one system predomin- 

 ating iu one dog, while another wiU in another dog, thus 

 stamping them with their various differences, so that we 

 actually see in our domestic friends a proportionate variation 

 as their quahties or cha racteristics may differ. 



One dog enters the field in that sedate manner which age 

 has awarded him, and which caution has prompted him to 

 assume. He fortunately finds at once his covey of birds, does 

 his work among them and under the gun without apparent 

 fault, and is awarded meritoriously over his antagonist, who 

 iu the vigor and impulsiveness of a stronger physical constitu- 

 tion acts more rashly. The former dog may have completed 

 his day's work; he did it vvefl, but there was very little of it, 

 while the latter dog actually requires two or three hours, 

 work to relieve him of his surplus energy, and then only is he 

 in a condition to act as well as the foi-mer dog ever did. The 

 former dog may be of the proper species but, that does not say 

 that he is a field dog. The latter dog as a field dog in every 

 sense of the word, may be his superior from all points of vievr, 

 except for the first few moments of then- run, when we can or 

 must excuse surplus energy, for it is a condition over which 

 we have or he has no immediate control. No dog's field 

 quahties can be judged imder short or stinbed time. 



Are the scoring points in field ti-ials of the National Ameri- 

 ican Kennel Club, strictly speaking, just from all points of 

 view? Inaugurating field trials for the express puroose of 

 advancing the standard of field dogs, should "style" enter 

 into their work as a meritorious quality? Does the dude who 

 travels in our own midst bear a strong reputation tor his 

 work? Some of our most thorough workmen who stand be- 

 fore their respective benches, are the least stylish of their fel- 

 low men ; the greatest thinkers that this world has ever pro- 

 duced and whose work she has profited by were notoriously 

 plain, silent, unpretentious, progressive men. Style is the re- 

 sult of an emotion— variety cloaked in a more or less brifliant 

 garb. The other and only necessary elements of a field dog 

 may be found absent in miany stylish ones. I hope that none 

 of you will smile at the likeness which 1 attempt to draw of 

 the emotions of two animals, a man and a dog; that emotion 

 vanity, resulting in .style, will be found a remarkable traib of 

 local rivah'y so far down in the scale of animal life as in many 

 species of fowl and variety of birds. 



Those scoring points "pace" and "ranging" may be much 

 simplified, "quartering" and "retrieving" consolidated under 

 the head of "advantages." "False pointing" in young un- 

 broken or pai'tially broken dogs for very obvious reasons is 

 an advantage. 



I must profess myself incapable of proposing a scoring table 

 which would be practically perfect in the hand of any one 

 judge, to say nothing of different appoiutees, imless perhaps 

 it consists alone of "physical qualities" and "acquired habits." 

 I have seen dogs who were largely hunted upon wild birds in 

 the fall, voluntarily acquii-e the habit of "heading them off" 

 and "flushing them toward the gun;" forexamj)le, after point- 

 ing a covey of running birds, and after leading you to whei-e he 

 stood, he would leave his point, "head them off" and stop the 

 running covey, a trait which in a field dog is invaluable aud yet 

 one which one cannot easUy train him to adopt. Such a trait 

 in a field dog should receive higher credit than their natural 

 staunchness, for it exhibits an amount of intelhgence aud train 

 of reason in them yery pleasant for us to contemplate. I do 

 think that the dog breeders, who have hitherto proven them- 

 selves so loyal to their pursuit in life, should meet and by their 

 united efforts reassert their supremacy to this existing and 

 very apparent inefficiency in the manner of scoring at trials. 



Before briefly discussing field fnals, allow me to attempt to 

 criticise the qualities of field dogs. Of show dogs, so 

 far as the himter is concerned, I care nothing and 

 consequently entirely overlook them. Let us inquire into 

 the essential elements of the various dogs which will 

 answer our jjui-jjoses in the field. The i>ointer and the setter 

 —two species closely allied from a natural standpoint— com- 

 pose the ti-ue field dogs of the sportsman. They must be pos- 

 sessed of certain characteristics necessary to our wants, strongly 

 affectionate, yet not of a fawning disposition, still obedient 

 and submissive to their masters' will, with nervous energy 

 enough to render his senses keen, and prompt a fully developed 

 muscular system to that energy necessary for him to accom- 

 plish his work, are the primary requisites necessary to all 

 hunters, whether pointer or setter. If a breeder oveilook the 

 primary essentials necessary in the breeding of field dogs, 

 while aiming at che development of a peculiarity, any one can 

 most readily see the natural consequence. Is it toward such a 

 standard that om- breeders are unanimously aiming? I think 

 not, for I find many of them endeavoring more ardently to se- 

 cure the trophies and honors of field ti-ial tests rather than 

 breed actually good field dogs. What then are these so-called 

 field trial dogs? They are dogs bred for that purpose, and en- 

 tries which actuaUy stand a greater chance of winning under 

 .such a test than does a field dog. Small in limb, with a pro- 

 portionately undeveloped muscular sj'stem, comparatively of 

 small size, with the physical appearance of hereditary inapti- 

 tude. They are dogs which are physically incapable of with- 

 standing hard work, and consequently lack the first and grav- 

 est quahty necessary to a field dog, stamina. Upon the other 

 hand, to at least partially offset this condition, we find dogs 

 with tremendously developed nervous systems, bright, intelli- 

 :ent, acute dogs, bearing unexampled noses; in other words, 

 logs which have been bred "to nose" at the expense of their 

 physical conditions, and as a result, dogs inferior in finding 

 birds, yet promptitude itself in pointing them when f oimd. 



Had I to choose between a do^ with an inferior nose, and one 

 with an inferior physical constitution, each dog's other quali- 

 ties except the ones named being good, for a field dog I would 

 be obhged to choose the former, for I would then be in pos- 

 session of a dog who would at least show me that birds were 

 somewhere in my district of the country, notwithstanding his 

 blunders after having found them. When one hunts, whether 

 it be for pleasure or for a living, he can always more easily 

 procure his birds after he knows their whereabouts, than he 

 can primarily find them. Had I to choose under such circum- 

 stances, I would want a dog who would occasionally raise a 

 feather before the gun, not one that I would have to 

 find birds for in order to witness him point them, 

 no matter how gracefully he could accomplish the feat. 

 1 make these remarks simply that I may demonstrate 

 that the "staying" qualities or "stamina" in a field dog is 

 really of more vital importance than is his sense of smell; and 

 now I shall endeavor to prove that the dog who is bred "to 

 nose" at the expense of his remaining economy actually "loses 

 his nose," and under hard work it early becomes inferior to 

 that of his brother who possesses a perfect system. 



Unless great care and unlimited study is indulged in by those 

 breeding dogs according to a vei-y simple natural law, breed- 

 ers will find themselves, by methodical selection, unconsciously 

 bi-eeding their dogs toward the development of some particu- 

 lar and peculiar advantage, and doing so at the expense of 

 some other system of the dog. For example, dogs are now 

 being unconsciously bred "to nose" at the expense of theii- gen- 

 eral economy. That organ of the nervous system hereditarily 

 and also most cultivated which predominates in these dogs are 

 the olfactory bulbs of their nose. They receive the greatest 

 blood supply and in their developed condition naturally sup- 

 port the greatest circulation of blood. Now, the moment that 

 a dog increases the number of heart beats and otherwise ex- 

 cites the circulation by muscular exertion, that moment do 

 the other organs of his body also receive a greater blood sup- 

 ply. The tension of the circulation is heightened and the 



capillaries become less capable of resisting its force. The dog 



"lo,ses his nose," as the experienced sportsman says; it be- 

 comes congested with the quickened circulation and the dog 

 finds himself less capable of appreciating scents wafted to his 

 nostinls. He begins to flush birds and his attitude of very appa- 

 rent surprise when they raise from his immediate neighborhood 

 is ample evidence that he had no indication of their presence. 

 Now, the greater the proportional size of a dog's olfactory 

 organs, as compared with the remainder of his economy, the 

 greater must proportionately be the congestion to which they 

 are subject under the above circum,stances; and, again, with 

 a given amount of work the faster must be the blood circula- 

 tion and supply proportionately as the dog is mferior consti- 

 tutionally, and consequently the greater must be the conges- 

 tion of his nose from this latter cause. Just upon the same 

 principle which requires a great bram-worker to be supported 

 by a strong constitution, in order for him to withstand for any 

 length of time the wear of his work without rest, so exactly 

 does a dog necessarily require a strong physical system in 

 order to undergo his work and fortify his nose against con- 

 gestion. 



Those dogs so carefully bred, as above stated, for field trial 

 pm-poses, must again be more liable to succumb from the 

 effects of disease; with the heightened development of the 

 nervous apparatus (throughout the entire scale of animal life) 

 does disease assume a more complicated type, and with a de- 

 generative, or rather retrograded condition of the physical 

 economy, these diseases must assume a proportionately more 

 grave aspect. 



Thus we have field dogs and field trial dogs, each, although 

 of the same species, differing from the other as black differs 

 from white. Let the dog breeders of our land once attempt 

 to act otherwise; let them attempt to bui-y rivalry, and some 

 individual among them of a less mental caliber than the others 

 will steal the prizes and the honors which they seek. They 

 cannot afford to do it so long as the present system of mark- 

 ing remains in vogue at field trials, and consequently they 

 will go on breedmg toward the advantage "of nose," until 

 they finally find themselves in possession of a sort of "xioodie" 

 whose "nose" will surprise the huntsmen of the past, and 

 whose field qualities will be next to useless. Utt.
