COAT'S MILK FOR PUPPIES. 



IT has often appeared to me as something strange that 

 goat's milk is not more frequently used for rearing pup- 

 pies than it is, considering that whenever it has heen tried 

 for this jmrpose it has always given satisfaction, being re- 

 garded as far superior to cow's milk. About four years ago 

 under the heading, "Does Cow's Milk Produce Worms?" a 

 letter signed J. Isaacs appeared in the Journal from the in- 

 vitation of Mr. Vero Shaw, who was desirous of obtaining 

 the opinions of dog breeders on this question. The writer 

 stated that after losing 75 per cent, of the puppies he bred 

 from worms, proved uy dissection after death, the cause of 

 Which he attributed to'the use of cow's milk, he was induced 

 to tf v goat's milk, which proved so successful that the year 

 i ii which he wrote he bred more than fifty puppies without 

 one showing a si.^n of worms. This led him to start asmall 

 herd of goats, the milk from which he had drawn twice a 

 day and fed to the puppies hot from the animals up to four 

 months old. A few weeks back I mentioned in a report of 

 the Society d'Acclimatation of Paris, that some goats were 

 kept in Prance for this purpose, showing that the same opin- 

 ion is held on the continent. 



I recollect also being informed by a gentleman 1 once met, 

 who had lived some time in South America, that goats were 

 there used to rear puppies, suckling them as they would 

 their own kids : but the object in these cases was to create 

 in the dogs a natural affection for their foster-mothers in 

 order that they might be better available as guards for the 

 herds. 



What the actual cause is that renders the milk of the goat 

 more suitable as a food for puppies— as, indeed, also for chil- 

 dren—than that which comes from the cow is not altogether 

 clear. For the purpose of comparing the constituents of the 

 three milks, I append a table, showing the results obtained 

 by analysis of each, based on the researches of Yernoise and 

 BecqitereL

By the above figures it appears that although in general 

 solids the goat's milk approaches nearest to that of the bitch, 

 the caseine and extractive matters, which are very consider- 

 able in the latter, as in all carnivorous animals, shows less 

 in the goat's milk than the cow's; while the reverse is the 

 case in regard to the fat, though here again the bitch has 

 far the largest quantity. As we know that caseine is less 

 easily assimilated than fat, we might suppose, that herein 

 lay the advantage of the goat's milk were it not that the 

 milk supplied by nature to the puppy contains nearly half 

 as much again of this constituent. Then I should observe 

 that the sample of goat's milk here analyzed was evidently 

 rather below the average in caseine, as two specimens of this 

 milk, examined by Dr. Voelcker in the 1880 Dairy Show, 

 produced caseine in the proportion of 3.94 and 4.67 per cent. 

 It is also well known that the constituents of milk vary ac- 

 cording to the period of lactation, the caseine being in far 

 larger proportion, and the sugar much less, immediately 

 after parturition than at a latter period, so that unless the 

 analyses have all been made under the same conditions, they 

 are not very trustworthy as a means of comparison. Prac- 

 tical results are, after all, what is wanted; and perhaps these 

 few remarks of mine may lead those who have tried goat's 

 milk for puppies to give their experience of it, so that if 

 really superior to cow's milk, as shown by the cases that 

 have* come to my knowledge, the use of goats for this pur- 

 pose may become more general .—.Mr. Holmes-Pegler, in 

 Fanciers' Gazette. 



B. M. STEPHENSON REINSTATED. -Cincinnati, O. 

 July 30, 1887.— Editor Forest and Stream: At a meeting of 

 the "Executive Committee of the National Field Trial Club 

 held in this city this date, Mr. B. M. Stephenson was (on ap- 

 plication) reinstated as a member of the Club, and the bar 

 against him removed. It was also f urther provided that cir- 

 cumstances in mitigation, which were not admissible at the 

 trial, under the rules of the association, be made a part of the 

 records of this meeting. In this connection, it is proper to 

 say, in behalf of the Executive Committee, that the consitu- 

 tion of the National Field Trial Club is very defective, in 

 that it does not provide for any different degrees of punish- 

 ment, and the Executive Committee is therefore left without 

 any discretion whatever. -The rule is mandatory, and does 

 not permit matters in mitigation to be considered. In this 

 ease it is safe to say that all the members of the Executive 

 Committee would have considered the matters in mitigation 

 entitled to a great deal of weight, had there been any grades 

 of punishment provided for, which would have allowed Mr. 

 Stephenson's statements, which were verified, to be officially 

 considered.— C. W. Paris, Sec'y; W. B. Shattuc, President, 

 [We are pleased to note that the National Field Trial Club 

 has reinstated Mr. B. M. Stephenson. The cause of his ex- 

 pulsion is well known, all the facts having been published 

 in Forest and Stream at the time. As we then stated, 

 "Mr. Stephenson's motives in the case in question appear to 

 have been generous rather than base. He preferred to have 

 his friend's dog win rather than his own. * * * The 

 offense was committed— it makes not a particle of difference 

 by whom— and it should be punished. That Stephenson 

 should bear this punishment no doubt seems hard to him- 

 self and his friends, for his position was a difficult one; but 

 however much we may love the sinner, we must hate the sin 

 still more. We have said before that in a matter of this 

 kind we have to deal with results, not motives. " The Club 

 could do no less than punish the offence, which it did by de- 

 barring Mr. Stephenson. The ends of justice having been 

 served, it was then right for the Club to consider the motives 

 that actuated Mr. Stepenson, and base their recent action on 

 the mitigating circumstances.] 



SPANIEL SPECIAL AT DETROIT— Toronto, July 22.— 

 Editor Forest and Stream: Mr. Chas. M. Nelles having re- 

 linquished honors that did not belong to him and haying 

 written you#to that effect, it is surely now in order for him 

 to return the prize to the rightful owner. I am pleased he 

 deemed it best to place the honors where they belong, but 

 should also like to have the prize he still holds. — H, G. 

 Charlesworth. 



HORNELL SHOW.— Hornellsville, N.Y., Aug. 1.— Editor 

 Forest and Stream: The Hornell Kennel Club claim the 

 dates from Aug. 30 to Sep. 2 for our show. No cash this year, 

 except what is subscribed by the citizens; medals and dip- 

 lomas. John Davidson will judge all classes. We will 

 make two champion, dog, bitch and two puppy classes, for 

 every known breed.— J. Otis Fellows, Supt.

KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 

 pw No Notice Taken of Anonymous Correspondents. 



C. E. P., Hartford.— A St. Bernard dog, 1 year old, weight 

 1201bs., has rheumatism in forward foot ; it seems to be below the 

 knee or in the foot. Has had it 3 months. Until then (3 months 

 ago) had alwaps slept in a hen house that was dry, and had a large 

 yard to rim in. Ans. Consult a veterinary to decide whether it 

 'is a sprain or rheumatism. II the former, a fly blister would be 

 effective. If rheumatism, large doses of Rochelle salts or salyci- 

 late of soda. 



G. R. P., Smethport.— I have an English setter that is eleven 

 months old and for the last three months his eyes have been very 

 red and discharged a little matter. He has a good appetite and 

 is in a good condition and very lively. Ans. Get the following : 



R. Zinc sulph grs. iv 



Aq 3 ii 



M. Sig. Eye wash. 



Sponge the eves carefully night and morning and drop a lew 

 drops of this solution in the outer angle of the eye and let it dif- 

 fuse itself over the baU. 



M. T., Portland.— Will you please let me know through your 

 paper, what to do for my one-year-old King Charles spaniel. 

 He has no appetite, only cats enough to keep him alive, is very 

 thin, and his hair is all broken off, and is very short. I have 

 treated for worms but it does no good, he passes a good deal of 

 matter with his urine; he has been this way for about six months. 

 He seems well, and is as lively as can be. Ans. Give five drops 

 Fowler's solution of arsenic morning and evening in the food. 

 Keep the bowels free with syrup of buckthorn in teaspoonful 

 doses. Do not feed meat.

MASSACHUSETTS' TEAM.— Competitions for places on the 

 team which is to represent Massachusetts at Creedmoor this fall 

 took place at Springfield on Tuesday, July 26, and at Walnut Hill 

 July 28. The competition at Springfield was arranged to suit the 

 convenience of members of the militia in the western part of the 

 State, and that at Walnut Hill for the members of eastern organ- 

 izations. The distance shot over in both instances was the same 

 (500ydS.), each man being allowed 15 shots. Regimental inspectors 

 of rifle practice had been notified to send their best men to the 

 competition. The weather conditions at Springfield were not of 

 the best, the light being variable and the wind strong. At Wal- 

 nut HiU the conditions were, very poor, a strong fish-tail wind 

 blowing throughout the day. The Springfield riflemen led the list, 

 making scores as follows: Priv. F. R, Bull, Co. (t, 70; Priv. James 

 Kimball, Co. G, 67; Priv. L. T. Farnsworth, Co. G, 66; Priv. M. W.
