KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 



t^" No Notice Taken of AnonymouB Coi-respondents. 



C. B. S., mmira, N. Y.— My spaniel has had what I suppose to be 

 mange. He is cured, but the hair is off his back in places. Ans. 

 Give three drops ot Fowler s solution three times daily. Increase oy 

 one drop daily to ten drops, and then decrease iu the same manner. 

 Wash pans daily with sulphur soap. 



A. F. H., Leadville, Col.-Dog taken a few few months ago with 

 distemper; had one bad fit. Of this I succeeded m curing him but 

 he now has what seems to be the direct result of the distemper, a 

 peculiar twitching and jerking of the body and legs; also of the 

 tongue, like "St. Vitus Dance." Aus.-Have some phis made «ach 

 to contain of the citrate of iron and strychnine two grains, and of the 

 valerianate of zmc one-half a grain. Conceal a pill in a morsel of raw 



meat and let the dog have one three times dally. Do not feed on 

 meat as a rale, and see that the bowels are in order. 



C. M R., Buffalo.— A large St. Bernard dog seems to be afflicted 

 with some kind of lameness. Whenever he gets up from the ground 

 he tries to scratch himself with one of his hind legs and always with 

 the same one. He makes the same motion that a dog makes when 

 you pat him on the back. WiU you be so kind as to inform me in 

 your next issue what the matter i* and the remedy? Ans.— We cannot 

 tell from your description what, if anything, is the matter with your 

 dog, 



J. C Atlantic City, N. J.— Two Irish setter pups, nine months old, 

 are very thin; have no appetite. One has sores on the ear and rump, 

 the hair is now growing out again over the bare places. They have 

 had the diarrhoea for six weeks, and passages are bloody once in a 

 while. I have meat and burnt flour, but they will not eat. They do 

 not have any fever nor do I hear them cry with pain. Ans. Your 

 puDs suffer from dysentery. Begin treatment with a full dose of 

 castor oil, then give a powder containing one grain of opium and ten 

 graiBS of the subnitrate of bismuth. Feed boiled milk and very Httle 

 ineat. Report result. 



W. L., Norwieh, Conn.— I have a red Irish setter whose coat is 

 rough and who sheds his hair all the time. He has been fed on scraps 

 from the table and milk, has been very loose ur til lately. I dropped 

 his milk and his bowels are more healthy, both in consistence and 

 color, but look much like weed seeds or small particles collected to- 

 gether. He has much trouble in retaining or digesting his food, 

 sometimes vomiting his breakfast at night in nearly the condition he 

 swallows it. He is thin in flesh, nose moist and cool most of the 

 time. Ans. Your dog has indigestion. You must be careful of his 

 diet. Give mostly fluid food, plenty of milk with a tablespoonful of 

 lime water to the pint, give soups without fat, in which you may 

 crumble bits of toast. Give a little scraped raw meat mixed with the 

 white of an egg once each day. Give plenty of outdoor exercise, and 

 keep the bowels regular with syrup of buckthorn, teaspoonful doses. 



POINTS WORTH CONSIDERING. 



1. Because of the compact style of its typography the Fobe.st and 

 Stream actually contains, weekly, more reading matter pertaining to 

 its chosen field than is fotmd in any similar publication in the world, 



2. In general excellence the reading columns of the Forest anb 

 Strbaji are of a higher grade than those of any similar publication in 

 the world. 



3. Takmg into account the amount and the character of weekly 

 reading given, the Forest and Stream is away ahead of any similar 

 publication in the world. 



4. If a sportsman wishes a sportsman's paper, he will he better 

 suited by the Forest and Stream than by any similar publication in 

 the world. 



POT LUCK FROM EXCHANGES. 



Edinburgh, Oct. '20. — The action of Mr. Ross Winaus, the 

 Baltimore millionare, who owns an extensive deer park in 

 northern Scotland, in closing a roadway on his property at 

 Gnisachan, so angered the people in that vicinity that they 

 mobbed and stoned him on Sunday last. Mr. Winans has 

 offered a reward of £500 for the capture of the culprits. 



TuxADO Park. — There was filed Oct. 38 in the County Clerk's 

 office the certificate of incoiporation of the Tuxado Park As- 

 sociation. The objects of the association are stated to be the 

 introduction and cultivation of game in the lakes and streams 

 within the boundaiies of the lands owned by the a.^sociation 

 situated in Ramapo and Monroe, this State. The incorporators 

 ai-e Greo. D. FLnlay, Wm. Kent, Pierre Loiillard, Jr., Gottver- 

 neur Tillotson and Peter Lorillard. 



Day by day, to deck your toilets, birds^of paradise are slain, 

 Humming- bii'ds are shot by thousands, striving to escape in 

 vain; 



Ai-gus pheasants, rare kingfishers, birds of every clime and 

 hue. 



Are destroyed in ruthless number, thanks— and thanks alone 

 to you.

 End it, lovely woman, end it, and for your fair sex's fame 

 Let the craze for sUly fashions no more stifle pity's claim. 



—Londt)n Truth. 



On the banks o' Deer Crick— there's the place for me ! 

 Worter slidin' past you jes' as clear as it can be— 

 See yer shadder in it, and the shadder of the sky, 

 And the shadder of the buzzard as he goes a-lazin' by; 

 Shadder of the pizin-vines, and shadder of the trees, 

 And I purt' nigh said the shadder of the sunshine and the 

 breeze! 



Well, I never seed the ocean, ner I never seed the sea, 

 But on the banks o' Deer Crick is grand enough fer me! 



—J. W. Riley, in Indianapolis Journal. 



The Nation's Fore.st Area.— The letter of Special Timber 

 Agent Haley to Commissioner Sparks, of the General Land 

 Office, complaining that millions of feet of lumber have been 

 cut from the public domain without warrant of law, directs 

 attention to the whole qtiestion of the preservation of the 

 nation's forests. The task of preserving the Adirondack for- 

 ests, entrusted to Messrs. Basselin, Cox and Knevais as State 

 Forestry Commissionera, has been the subject of discussion in 

 every part of the Union, but the devastation of timber in the 

 remote States and Territories has to a great extent escaped 

 the surveillance of the public eye. The last census gives the 

 total forest area of the United States, not including Alaska, 

 as 440,i«)0,000 acres, but statisticians say that the lumber is 

 swept from more than 50,000,000 acres annually, and the ex- 

 haustion of the supply cannot be distant if the drain is not 

 checked. Forests fires consume more than 10.000,000 acres of 

 forest annually, and the depredations of timber thieves re- 

 sult in perhaps greater waste. It is time for the enactment of 

 lavys for the protection of the forests in every part of the 

 Union, and a half of the fine imposed for each violation should 

 go as a reward for evidence to convict.— jScc. 



A letter was yesterday received at Castle G-arden, written 

 in German and dated at Mentor, Wis., October 7, 18,8.5. It 

 stated that the writer early in May last left his home in Bre- 

 men and went to live at Mentor. The writer's dog Fritz was 

 left at Bremen in charge of his brother Albert Otto. On Oct. 

 6, while the writer was out in the field, to his great surprise 

 his dog Fritz came limping toward him. ''He knew me," 

 added the writer, ' 'and. whined piteously. His feet were much 

 worn by travel and every step left a mark of blood upon the 

 ground. I want to know if he passed tlirough Castle Garden, 

 as I am entirely at a loss to find, out how he came to me, a 

 distance of over .5,000 miles." The letter was signed "Charles 

 Otto." The story of the dog's travels was told by a quarter- 

 master on the steamship Leerdam, who heard it thi-ough a 

 boarding house keeper. He said that Fritz never left^the 

 wharf at Bremen after his master sailed, but waited imtil 

 another vessel came in and went on board. She was an 

 American bark, and after unloading sailed away virith Fritz as 

 passenger. Thebarklanded in New York about a month ago, 

 and Fritz it is claimed was found by a boarding-house keeper, 

 who took him to a Castle Garden employe, who from the 

 name on his collar found that he belonged to Otto. A search of 

 the books told where he had gone to, and attaching a card to 

 the dog's neck directing him to his master he was sent West 

 in charge of an immigrant. The immigrant it is presumed, 

 fancied the dog, and resolved to keep him for his own. He 

 therefore took off the collar. Fritz by some instinct must 

 have traced his master and sm-prised him as the letter says. 

 Fritz is described as a large St, Bernard, with an intelligent 

 face and splendid coat of hair.— r/ie Morning Journal, 



Basset or Beagle Wanted.— I wish to obtain a basset or beagle 

 dog pv.ppy— the topmer preferred— from 8 to 12 months old, house 

 broken; must not be more than la or 13 inches high and fairly gbod- 

 lookmg. Address, with lowest price and particulars, Ivan, this

QUEER PRIZES.— London Truth pokes fun at the utilitarian 

 notions of the prize committees on the English ranges in the following 

 paragraph; "I referred a week ago to the absurd character of some 

 of the prises offered for competition at volunteer shooting matches. 

 Matters seem to be getting worse iustead of better m this direction. 

 Among the prizes set before the Second Oxford R. V. tbe other day 

 were bottles of whiskey and gin, gallons of beer, a clothes brush, a 



Cair of braces and a fork, spade and shovel. The Third Norfolk, 

 owever, have even a more ridiculous record, for the winner of a 

 recent competition found himself to be the proud possessor of a pig's 

 head!"
