FOREST AND STREAM. 



GRAPHIC'S ALLEGED IiTjlTSH.-New York, Dec. 7.— 



Editor Fotest and, Stream: When my letter referring to the 

 flush scored against Graphic by Mr. Coster shall have been 

 answered by him, I will take up the running and judging in 

 detail and give "facts, not fiction," for which facts I have the 

 data. I wiU say now'tbat the judge -vvho ga.ve the facts as to 

 the alleged flush to the reporter of your paper and to others 

 must have been in a peculiar state of mind, as the statements 

 in the different papera are widely diffei-ent, and do not dove- 

 tail with tha t accuracy usually shown in different narratives 

 of the same ocemTence when made by the same person. I 

 mav also add that in many statements of fact I entirely dis- 

 agree with yoiu- reporter. It, as he says, "the judges informed 

 us [him] the dogs would start on even terms in the morning, 

 and with a clean score," I most emphatically pronounce Mr. 

 Heath's withdrawal of his dogs not only not "ill-advised." but 

 highly proper. Judges who can score a flush against a dog in 

 the evening and then start him "on even terras in the morning 

 tod with a clean score," may do for the Eastern Field Trials 

 Glub, but "not any for your' humble servant." Either Graphic 

 scDi ed a flush or lie did not. If he did, he should have been 

 penalized for it, and no judge or judges had any right to start, 

 him ' 'm the morning with a clean score" or at any "other time. 

 If Graphic did not score the flush, then the charge against him 

 was an outra.ge. A very easy way out of the whole matter 

 was for the judges to have consulted Mr. Heath, the owner of 

 Graphic, and to have stated to Mr. Heath what your reporter 

 says tliey stated to him; bnt as neither Mr. Heath", Mr. Mitchell 

 or'niyseit expected or asked any favors for Graphic, the dog 

 would only have been started after a complete withdrawal by 

 Mr. Coster of the statements on which the alleged flush was 

 entered up agamst him. The judges had every opportunity 

 on Saturdav morning to correct the record, had they so de- 

 sired, for Graphic and Spot were both in the wagon at the 

 door of the hotel with Mr. Mitchell, ready to start, had any 

 satisfactory explanation or evidence of the alleged flush been 

 offered to" Mr. Heath, and Mr. Heath and myself purposely 

 remained in waiting at the hotel until the judges consulted 

 tog-ether and publicly ordered up Beaufort and Mainspi-ing 

 without intimating that they would like to confer with any 

 one on the subject. I have no doubt in my own mind but 

 that yom- reporter was authorized on the part of the judges 

 to make the statement that the dogs would start in the morn 

 ing and with a clean score. — J as. L. Anthont. [There is one 

 very serions error in the conclusions di'awn in the above letter, 

 an error which we are glad to correct. No flush was chiirged 

 to or scored against Graphic on the judges' books, and the 

 withdrawal of tlie dog seems to have been due merely to the 

 fact that Messrs. Anthony and Heath took common report for 

 a statement of fact, and on the faith of this common report 

 the latter withdi-ew his dog. Under these circumstances the 

 withdrawal, for the reason stated in Mr. Heath's letter, was 

 clearly ill-advised, because the ground for withdrawal which 

 he alleged had no existence. Why Mr. Heath was not in- 

 formed of this we do not know. Mr. Coster stated that quail 

 got up near Graphic, but that he was unable to see why they 

 got up or whether the dog was in fault.]

KENNEL. MANAGEMENT. 

 No Kotlce Taken of Auonymons Correspondents. 



8. O. L. D.— Yes, take the puppies away ; but the milk had better 

 be drawn from her udders for a few days by manipulating gently. 

 You may also give ten drops of tincture of belladona night aud morn- 

 ing, which will dry up the secretion. 



H. M. W., Baltimore.- A friend has a setter that he values, who is 

 continually straining while hunting— every few minutes— but passes 

 nothing. Could he have worms? He is very fat. Would not a dose 

 of castor oil do him good:' Ans. Yes. Give the dog a tablespoonf ul 

 of castor oil, and repeat if necessary. Do not feed so much, and give 

 no meat or a litt le that is cooked. Give plenty of exercise. 



E. L., City.— My puppy, 4}^ months old. is a Skye terrier. He now 

 will eat notning but meat, except thin part of rice or barley soup if I 

 put m some meat to lempt him. Natural consequence, thin and 

 miserable looking. Ans. Give vour dog plenty of exercise and feed 

 on Indian meal mush, boiled with a few bits of meat and soup and 

 served cold. We see no signs of dyspepsia, but simply a capricious 

 appetite. 



A. C. A.— Your dog has indigestion. It will take time and care to 

 effect a cure. In the first place, tbe diet must be very simple and 

 easily digestible. Give mostly fliuds—niilk with liroe water (table- 



Spoonful to pint), soups without fat, flour porridge or mush and 

 milk, and once daily a small quantity of raw meat grated or minced 

 and mixed with the white of an egg. Give eight drops of Fowler's 

 solution of arsenic twice daily in the food. This always acts excel- 

 lently. Report results. 



SNEroER, Poston. Mass.— My dog suffers as follows: From the end 

 of tail to middle of back the hair is very thin, and ono d iy the skin 

 will be very much inflamed and the next dry and .sc vly. His breast 

 is bare and he scratches and bites until he blae.ls. Ans. You mujt 

 persevere with the arsenic, giving as directed befor.?, b it increasing 

 to ten drops thr-'e times daily. For an external application get tho 

 following: Of cxraphor, two drachm?; of sulphur, half an ounce; of 

 bismuth subnitrate, half an ounce; of rose>vater, eight ounces. Ap- 

 ply with sponge three times daily. Report results.' 



H. C. B., Boston.— The mouth and hps of a bull-terrier are com- 

 pletely covered with warts. I have failed to find any book that 

 treats of warts in the mouth of a dog except "Vouati's and I am try 

 icg his prescription now, but it seems to me to be a rather slow 

 process, even should it prove effectual. Ans. Cauterize with nitrate 

 of silver .stick (hmar caustic) twice daily, touching two or three warts 

 only until they have disappeared. A more sure method is with 

 nitric acid on the end of a pine stick. They may also be dusted 

 with powdered calomel applied by means of a camel's hair brush, 



G. B , Cincinnati.— My Enghsh water spaniel pup, four months old, 

 trembles when lying down and not asleep, at intervals of three or 

 four second-', and for about two or thrae seconds at a time. When 

 asleep or exercising he does not tremble at all. He deesn't wish to 

 play or exercise: appetite variable, but usually low; very copious 

 urine and of a light color: eyes look languid and unhappy, a slight 

 flowing from the corners as in distemper. Ans. We think your 

 dog is only out of condition. We would advise giving Fowler's 

 solution of arsenic, ten drops night and morning, in t ie food. After 

 giving for three weeks stop the medicine. K^ep the dog's bowels in 

 order with syrup of buckthorn in teaspoonful dose^. Report results. 



Q. F. A.— Pointer pup had three fits, about three hours apart. Dur- 

 ing the fits he would flounder about and hammer his head on the 

 ground. He would then lie on his back and kick with ah four legs at 

 once. These spells would last about two or three minutes; then he 

 would get up and stagger about in a dazed sort of manner for a few 

 minutes, and then he would be all right tOl the next attack. He has 

 had no fits since Sunday, but he has no life and does not eat. He 

 turns his head around to Orst one side and then the other, and his 

 nose is rather warm. He is constipated, and I have given buckthorn 

 three t imes in the usual dose with no result, Ans. The first thing to 

 be done is to purge your dog and get his.bo%vels in proper condition. 

 Constipation and stoppage are often a cause for these fits. Yon 

 must also be careful of the diet. Feed little or no meat, or if it is 

 given let it be cooked and mixed w ith other foods. Purge your puppy 

 with castor oil in tablespoonf ul doses. Probably they will cure him; 

 if not give ten grains of bromide of potash three times daily hidden 

 in a bit of meat. 



Of Ashmont's new book, "Dogs; Their Management and Treat- 

 ment in Disease," the Boston says; "The work will prove of 

 valu^ to many owners of dogs, and wih bring to 'Ashmont' great 

 credit for his noble, humane labors; and we suspect if tbe poor, 

 dumb canine race knew their benefactor, they would all assume the 

 expression of Landseer's wounded hound,"
