BEAGLES FOR BENCH AND FIELD. 



LINDEN, Mass., July 15.— Editor Forest and Stream: 

 Seeing in this week's paper an item on the beagle by 

 "H. H.," I will give my experience for the past three years. 

 He speaks in rather a discouraging way of the show winner 

 and small stock. I have at present in my kennel eight 

 beagles, all under the standard but two. They are all good 

 workers except two, which have never had any chance, but 

 which I am in hopes to have in good trim for running by 

 September, My small dogs can go as long as the larger 

 ones, but of course not quite as fast, though they will all 

 stick from daylight till dark, and be all ready to go the next 

 day if necessary. My best running dog is by champion 

 Little Duke, out of an extra nice bitch, and he is only 14in. 

 high. 



I have been looking into this matter for several years, and 

 have come to the conclusion that the show winners have 

 been petted too uiuch and not given a chance to do as well 

 as they might do for fear of getting lost or hurt. There is no 

 reason whv a winning dog on the bench should not make a 

 good dog in the field. I have now in my kennels two very 

 nice bitches, one a show winner (May Belle II.) and the other 

 never shown, but tobeheardfrom next spring if she is alive. 

 They will run a little while and then come in and follow to 

 heel; they oulv appear to be lazy, and are doing much better 

 than when I first took them out. I go out about three nights 

 every week for about two hours. The way I do is to take a 

 couple of good workers and go where I know I can start a 

 rabbit, and take the green dogs along with me. I had been 

 out three or four times before they would take any notice of 

 the dogs that were driving, but I am beginning to feel quite 

 encouraged about them now. A beagle can be trained to run 

 when from six to seven months old if a little pains be taken 

 with them. I have had quite a number of pups the past two 

 years, and the way I do is to take them out with the old dogs 

 after they get to be four or five months old, and they soon 

 learn what is wanted of them. 



I hope to see a little more in your columns in the future 

 on the beagle; they are to my mind the finest little sporting 

 dog of the day, for the New England States especially, as 

 most every other kind of game is so scarce, but rabbits are 

 quite abundant still. I would be glad to hear from others 

 on this matter and what they consider the best dog for work, 

 the undersize or oversize beagle. For my part I like the 

 little dog best, only I want him to be able to last all day.

FOXHOUNDS AND STOCKADES. 



Editor Forest and Stream : 



"N. C." is amusins; in her paper concerning foxhounds in 

 the issue of July 7. 1 am fond of foxhounds, but! 



The inference is probably unfair, but perhaps not alto- 

 gether unnatural, that when the old gentleman went after 

 his daughter with his pack of hounds unmuzzled, it was of 

 no importance how many little girly they might absorb so 

 long as the daughter remained unharmed. If I had been 

 the father of the "little cousin" I would have taken the con- 

 tract at extremely low figures to start that pack the first 

 time they showed unmuzzled noses within the limits of my 

 bailiwick. 



The patience of i! N. C." is commendable or not, iust as you 

 choose to look at it. She is, I take it, a Southern lady. 

 "Well, she and her friends of the feminine persuasion have 

 in my opinion been "put upon" quite long enough by their 

 chivalric hasbands and fathers, and it is high time that they 

 begin to assert their rights. 



Let them combine and quietly but firmly make known to 

 the aforesaid husbands and fathers that if no better kennel 

 system is attainable, a good stockade of logs, say fifty or 

 sixty feet high, and placed not more than five-eighths of an 

 inch apart, will restrain and keep from stealing or other 

 depredations on the rights of the housewife the most thiev- 

 ish hound that ever bayed. 



A few sheds inside will make the dogs comfortable, and 

 the owner will know where to look for them when old Her- 

 cules reports "big bar tracks Jes' down by the lower edge ob 

 de co'n fiel'." 



Instead of the hounds being permitted to select for them- 

 selves such delicacies as hams, butter and the like, the best 

 of these may be chosen for their delectation, and poked 

 through a wicket into the stockade, at the end of a long 

 pole. 



Therefore, let the ladies, as I have said, combine and in- 

 sist upon the kennel or stockade system, or some modifica- 

 tion thereof. As a motto for the society I would suggest 

 "stockades or strychnine." KELPIE. 



DOGS FOR BIG GAME. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



In your issue of July 7 are some remarks by "Leather- 

 head," taken from the Kennel Gazette, upon a suitable 

 breed of dogs for hunting big game. He desires speed, 

 courage, strength and nose, and he can get just these 



Sualities by breeding a dog half greyhound and half Great 

 lane to a foxhound bitch, the hounds to be from good hunt- 

 ing stock. I had some dogs a number of years ago bred 

 from a foxhound bitch and a dog, a cross between a stag- 

 hound and a German boarhoand, and they would trail any- 

 thing, run a sight chase like a greyhound, and kill anything 

 they came up with. They were famous bear dogs, doing 

 their own trailing, and showing wonderful quickness and 

 skill in their attack when the game was at bay. They 

 always ran to kill and were ferocious in battle. 



If "Leatherhead" will spend a few years in breeding such 

 dogs he will have a pack that will trail, run down, and kill 

 any game on this continent short of a grizzly bear.

SAN FRANCISCO DOG SHOW. — The Pacific Kennel 

 Club will give a dog show in San Francisco on April 5, 6, 7 

 and 8, 1888. An organization known as the California Ken- 

 nel Bench Show and Field Trial Club is said to intend giving 

 a show iu August next, but from observations made here we 

 conclude that it will not do so. The date selected by the 

 Pacific Kennel Club was that best suited to local conditions. 

 All, or nearly all, of Califomian owners of sporting dogs use 

 them. There is no class of benchers purely. The autumn 

 and winter months are those in which field dogs are used, 

 and few owners would suspend preparation of their dogs for 

 the field simply to place them on the bench, as would be 

 necessary if ;t show was held in October or November. In 

 April all classes will be in good coat, and showing them will 

 in no wise interfere with using them in eoursiug, deer bunt- 

 ing, or on birds. It is the wish of the Pacific Kennel Club 

 to nave a good entry from crack Eastern kennels, and some 

 dogs are expected, but local demands must first be met.— 

 Breeder and Sportsman. 



SPANIELS FOR BENCH AND FIELD. — Editor Forest 

 and Stream: In your issue of last week you have an effus- 

 ion from a Mr. B. A. Osborne, which, if intended for a free 

 advertisement for Mr. Fellows, may or may not be consid- 

 ered clever, but to a breeder of the recognized type of cockers 

 as bred to-day it must be regarded as the veriest twaddle. 

 "We were not aware until this Solon came to the front that 

 cockers were supposed to retrieve in water, much less to be 

 expected to run deer. This wonderful pair he possesses may 

 probably answer his purpose for this mixed kind of work, 

 as we have seen many a mongrel do similar service. But we 

 can imagine how this pair would look on the show bench; 

 we think they would require to be labeled to enable the pub- 



lic to decide to what breed they belonged; this is our con- 

 clusion from similar experience of those who always have 

 such wonderful dogs "at home." They don't often venture 

 to show them, and for the credit of our shows it is well they 

 do not. But there is a more contemptible feature about 

 this letter, his insinuations that the judge discriminated in 

 favor of Canadian dogs, should be promptly condemned by 

 every respectable beeeder and exhibitor, for Mr. Kirk is 

 known tolbe an honest, conscientious judge, and should be 

 protected from such vile calumniations. Regarding Cana- 

 dian dogs, we ask this man how it comes that at all the best 

 shows for years, under all the best known and most compe- 

 tent judges Canadian dogs have secured a large proportion 

 of the honors. We have before us a letter from Mr. Fellows, 

 written a few months ago, in which he says, "Toronto has 

 more good dogs to the square inch than any other city in 

 America." This is true and it applies to Canada as well as 

 the city of Toronto, We like the long, low, strong built 

 little fellow, such as we breed here, and we think we can 

 produce them of this style, that for endurance, pluck and 

 work, day in and day out, will be more than a match for the 

 long-legged specimens Mr. Osborne owns. Besides there is 

 a class, known as field spaniels, that will allow a little more 

 scope for size and weight to those whose fancy so directs, 

 but for mercy's sake let them not be confounded nor condemn 

 the one simply because the other is what is desired. To our 

 mind the cocker and field spaniel are distinct classes, and we 

 hope to see them bred as such. Such terms as crocodile, Dachs, 

 weasel, double-action Skye-cross and similar silly expressions 

 as applied to the princely cocker may to your correspondent 

 seem very funny, but to the average reader are decidedly 

 low, vulgar and nonsencial. — H. G. ChAELESWOKTH (Toronto, 

 Canada, July 9). 



" JUDGE AND JURY " is the title of a new sporting 

 paper which hails from Boston. It has a live kennel depart- 

 ment, and will, we presume, represent the current opinion 

 and thought or Hub dogdora. Judge and Jury starts out as 

 if it meant business, and there is evidently a vast amount of 

 go in it. .

KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 

 |3F~ No Notice Taken of Anonymous Correspondents. 



SuBSCTUBER,Boston, Mass., shouldfoUow advice given C. G. G. 



C. G. G.— Is it neoessary to use any means of reducing the siee 

 of a bitch's udder after having suckled her pups? I wish to use 

 her in the field. What preparation is the best and how should it 

 be applied? Ans. Give 5 drops of tincture of belladonna three 

 times daily and rub belladonna ointment into the udders each 

 day. 



W. H. J., Argentine, Mich.— A pointer pup, male, 3 mos. old, 

 has a breech at the navel; it protudes about as large as a small 

 walnut. Will it grow up with age or will it need an operation? 

 The pup seems to be in good health at present. Aus. Reduce the 

 ruptu re and place a pad of lint doubled four or six times over it. 

 Tliis can be held in place by abroad band of adhesive plaster, long 

 enough to overlap. Change whenever it becomes loose. If it is 

 kept up for a few months it will not be likely to return. 



J. T. W., Waterbury.— My cocker bitch has been affected with 

 mange for some time. Her hair is all coming out and it is all oft 

 on her feet, neck and about her head; there is one sore between 

 the eyes, a little back, about the size of ahalf dollar, that is scabbed 

 over and matterates, also a bad scab on neck and on leg. She is 

 lively when out for a run, but sleepy whennnside. She eats well: 

 bowels quite loose; she smells bad; she is 16mos. old and has been 

 kept on a farm. I began treatment this morning by washing with 

 carbolic soap and giving 5 drops Fowler's solution of arsenic. 

 Ans. Continue the arsenic, giving 5 drops morning and evening.

 afternoon the scores were well up. Philo Jacoby captured the 

 medal in the first class, having scored 392 points. The trophy for 

 the best marksman in the second class was won by John Horst- 

 mau bv 353. Henry Tietgen won in the third class shoot by a score
