then buzz, whisb, out into the dark again , and you never see 

 it more. 



James L. Anthony announces that he is ready to retire. 

 Whether weighed in his own scales as the one righteous 

 man in a sinful generation of dog fanciers, or taken at the 

 estimate others put on him as a noisy nuisance, it was clear 

 from the first that Anthony would not last long. He was 

 not a "dog man.'' He bought a kennel because he thought 

 it an opportunity to make a splurge, and by brag, blow and 

 bluster achieve notoriety. He has made his splurge, has 

 blown, bragged and blustered, and has achieved a notoriety 

 such as it is. and now he gets out. That is all there is of it. 

 Every dog must have its day. Yesterday he said "I am." 

 To-day they say "He was." To-morrow "Who was he?" 

 The next day oblivion. 



There are others who will follow. Anthony's former ken- 

 nel partner and Man Friday will say "Mo too," and sell out. 

 The next will be the individual who signs "Pres. A.K.C." to 

 his name. Belmont is not a dog man; he went into show- 

 ing because it was English; he has tired of the fad, and when 

 he discovers that the members of the ring, who because they 

 have use for him cajole him to his face and adopt resolutions 

 indorsing his "defense" (untruthful statements and all), 

 sneer at him behind his back, the joys of office will pall on 

 him, and the Blemton Kennels will be put up at auction. 

 And then will follow the windy pedaut who has almost 

 exhausted his cyclopedia of Greek authors done into easy 

 English, and will abruptly reach the end of the book and 

 the end of his career as a dog screed maker at the same 

 moment. This is the rule that one and another, who for one 

 reason or another buy or write about dogs, but have no 

 natural interest in dogs, will go out of the fancy and be 

 forgotten; but letno one fall into the mistake of supposing 

 that there will not be just as many dogs left and just as 

 many dog men, for there will he. This bit of dog talk is in 

 the nature of prognostication, and on it we will cheerfully 

 wager our repute for soothsaying. 



A crazy woman, four dogs, thirteen cats aud a parrot, all 

 camped out in the street, invited the attention of the Brook- 

 lyn police last Monday. The four dogs were shot, the 

 thirteen cats drowned and the woman and the parrot sent to 

 the insane asylum. 



A meeting of Hudson River poultry breeders will be held 

 at Newburgh. N. Y.. Nov. 17, to organize a Hudson River 

 Poultry, Dog and Pet Stock Association. An exhibit cover- 

 ing four days is proposed during the coming winter, 



Messrs. Larson and Eroumau, of Anoka, Minn., have 

 brought out an "improved bench dog," good not only for 

 the bench but for the gun as well, which is more than can 

 be said of many a bench dog. 



Mr. J. O. Thmston (Erminie Kennels, Mt. Vernon, N. Y.) 

 writes: "I have purchased from Mr. Jas. Jarvis, England, 

 the well-known rough-coated St. Bernard dog Lysander. He 

 is two years old, was bred by Sidney W. Smith of Leeds and 

 has won fourteen prizes and cups. He is orange tawny with 

 white markings, stands 83 kin. high, and weighed the day 

 he sailed 1901bs. I expect he will arrive next Wednesday 

 per steamship Italy. I have also purchased the Swiss 

 smooth-coated dog Barry, out of Bella, litter sister to the 

 celebrated Guide." 



The Merideu Poultry Association will hold its eieventh 

 annual exhibition of poultry and pigeons, and fourth bench 

 show of dogs, at the Polo Rink, Meriden, Conn., Jan. 1 to 4, 

 1889. inclusive. - 



DISTEMPER. 



IN its ordinary form, distemper, as we explained in the last 

 article, is a catarrhal affection, which at its commence- 

 ment resembles an ordinary cold; and when the attack is 

 mild and transient, it is not always possible to determine 

 which of the two diseases exists. When the affection runs 

 a more definite course, the evidence is sufficiently positive, 

 aud the occurrence of certain complications leaves no room 

 for doubt as to the nature of the malady. Excessive emacia- 

 tion and sometimes entire collapse are the frecpient results 

 of the ordinary progress of the common kind of distemper, 

 when the early stage is neglected or improperly treated; and 

 even when everything is done for the animal's benefit, the 

 disease may prove to be beyond the doctor's skill, owing 

 to the implication of important organs— the lungs, liver, or 

 brain. 



Coughing is one of the almost constant symptoms of dis- 

 temper, and its existence is evidence of the irritable state of 

 the mucous membrane of the air passages. Increase of the 

 irritation is not uncommon, and sometimes it advances to 

 the degree of acute inflammation of the lining of the larynx 

 or bronchial tubes. In such cases the cough becomes very 

 painful, and the breathing is quickened, and is carried on 

 with an open mouth. It is frequently observed that dogs, 

 when suffering from disease of the respiratory organs with 

 difficult breathing, will seek to relieve themselves by elevat- 

 ing the head, and in some cases they will stand with the fore 

 paws resting on a stool or the edge of a fender The more 

 common position, however, is sitting on the haunches, with 

 the head held up and the mouth open. 



Inflammation of the substance of the lungs is indicated by 

 the symptoms above described, minus the painful cough and 

 plus a quick, hard pulse, iustead of the soft beat of bronchi- 

 tis. All inflammatory affections are associated with fever, 

 which is shown by the rise of internal temperature, dryness 

 and heat of nose, and constipation. Acute affections are 

 also, as a matter of course, productive of general lassitude, 

 with loss of appetite, attended with rapid emaciation. Treat- 

 ment of distemper with lung complications does not include 

 any important alterations in the .method which will have 

 already been adopted in dealing with the ordinary catarrhal 

 form of the attack which precedes the more serious affections 

 of the respiratory system. If the dog's condition is good, 

 and the acute disease' supervenes before the strength is im- 

 paired, bleeding may be resorted to; but the operation is now 

 seldom performed, and the amateur should not attempt it. 

 Only the experienced canine surgeon can decide whether or 

 not the conditions are such as to render the treatment 

 necessary. Counter-irritation in acute inflammatory disease 

 is not deemed to be good practice; but in the case of the dog 

 an excellent and safe substitute is found in the warm bath, 

 by the use of which, followed by the application of hot 

 towels, and completed by wrapping the dog in a blanket, the 

 skin maybe kept warm, and all the benefit of stimulant 

 applications obtained without causing any pain or excite- 

 ment. 



Some care is necessary in giving a bath to small pet dogs 

 in reference to temperature, and also duration of the immer- 

 sion. Dogs are easily affected by heat, and faint on the 

 slightest provocation, especially when they are suffering 

 from a weakening disease. On no plea should the temper- 

 ature of the bath be judged by the hand; but a common 

 thermometer should always be used, and a temperatui'e of 

 98 to 99deg. will be sufficient. Should fainting occur while 

 the dog is in a bath, the animal must be immediately i'e- 

 moved, and quickly dried while lying on its side. If neces- 

 sary, the usual devices which are resorted to in the case of 

 the human patient in similar circumstances may be em- 

 ployed. 



Careful nursing is absolutely essential in the treatment of 

 acute disease in dogs, and it is particularly necessary to 

 avoid alarming the patient by rough handling, or the use of 

 force in the administration of medicines. For this reason, 

 powders which can be thrown on the tongue, or remedies 

 which can be made up with honey to form an electuary, are 

 to be preferred to fluid mixtures and pills; and with very 

 irritable pet dogs, it may often be worth consideration 

 whether it is not better to trust to good nursing ia acute dis- 

 order of the breathing organs, rather than excite the animal 

 by an attempt to give medicines. 



Regulation of the diet will not be dificult in the cases 

 which have been described. The dog is disinclined to eat, 

 and it should be coaxed to lap milk in which an egg has 

 been beaten up, or cold soup made of meat without any salt. 

 Small quantities of food should be offered, and, if not ac- 

 cepted, should be removed from the animal's sight, and a 

 fresh portion of another food be tried in an hour or two. 

 Nothing is so certain to disgust a sick dog as the sight of 

 food which it objects to take. Cold water will often be 

 taken freely, and whatever is offered in the way of nutri- 

 ment must be cold, or it will certainly be declined. 



Jaundice or the yellows is a disease which is sometimes 

 developed during the progress of distemper, although it may 

 occur independently. The symptoms are characteristic and 

 easily recognized; in fact the common name of the disease 

 (yellows) at once suggests the most prominent sign, which 

 is the yellowness of the skin. White dogs exhibit the change 

 of color in the most marked form, but even in black ani- 

 mals the yellow tint may be observed quite distinctly. Be- 

 sides the yellow color of" the skin and mucous membranes 

 there are other symptoms in jaundice which indicate general 

 derangement of the digestive functions. _ The dog is dull, 

 apparently suffering from nausea; sometimes constipation 

 is present and at others diarrhoea. The evacuations in 

 either case are at first lighter clay-colored, but in the ad- 

 vanced stage of the disease they may become dark from the 

 mixture of dark green or brown bile or blood. 



In some cases abdominal pain is present, and pressure 

 over the region of the liver causes the dog to flinch. Coming 

 on when the animal is already weakened by the primary 

 disease, jaundice often proves fatal in a few days. But it 

 sometimes becomes subacute or chronic, and is attended 

 with considerable enlargement of the liver, which occupies 

 the lower part of the abdominal cavity, causing the belly to 

 swell out, while the sides fall in, showing deep hollows on 

 each side. 



During the whole course of the disease in its acute form 

 there is a disinclination to take food of any kind, and it is 

 necessary to administer small and frequent doses of the con- 

 centrated meat extracts to keep the animal alive. Fatty 

 substances should not be given, as in the disordered state of 

 the digestive system they are not likely to be appropriated. 

 In the medical treatment of jaundice the fluid extract of 

 taraxacum, in doses of a drachm to half an ounce, will be a 

 very useful remedy, aud it may be given mixed with the 

 meat solutions. 



Some practitioners give small doses of calomel, and apply 

 mercurial ointment with friction over the region of the 

 liver. Iodide of potassium, in doses of from one to four 

 gr*ains, has proved beneficial in the chronic form of the 

 disease; but, speaking generally, jaundice is an intractable 

 disorder, and treatment cannot be undertaken with much 

 hope of success.— Lon don Field.

THE SPANIELS. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



To your correspondent "Quester" I would say to come out 

 of his dense cover and let us know his name and residence 

 if he is not ashamed of them. 



I should like to ask this Kip Van Winkle "Quester" where 

 he has been and what he has been doing for the last five 

 years? and if he thought our challenge was a "bluff" why- 

 he did not "call us" or see us $1,000 and raise it. 



The only "rot" about it is in "Quester's" letter, nothing- 

 was ever said about $1,000 or any amount. The challenge 

 read, "The Hornell Spaniel Club will back Hornell Silk and 

 Daisy against any brace of cockers in America on woodcock 

 and ruffed grouse for any reasonable amount, the test to be 

 endurance, nose, style and obedience. Will give or take *100 

 for expenses." That was straight. No one accepted the 

 challenge, and a man of '"Quester's" experience must know 

 that we had a perfect right to claim the field trial champion- 

 ship by default, and the fact remains that Hornell Silk is 

 champion, and the entry at Buffalo and Syracuse correct. 



It may be that "Quester" has put in the last live years in 

 training spaniels, and if he has one as good as Silk 1 con- 

 gratulate him, but he can win no cash from us by beating 

 the old dog in the field; but if he has a team of five cockers 

 that he wishes to match against Silk, his sou and grandson, 

 and two daughters, then let him come here and we will make 

 a match for marbles or fun, anything to "size his pile" and 

 accommodate him.

CHESAPEAKE BAY DOCS. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



In the Forest and Stream of the 4th inst., "G. E. S." 

 asked for information in regard to the Chesapeake Bay Dogs. 



I have shot ducks for thirty-five years, and have bad'agreat 

 many kinds of duck dogs, but never had any others that 

 suited me so well as the Chesapeake Hay dogs. 



They are hardy and tough. Will go through ice and snow 

 after water-fowl. They handle birds with great care and 

 are very sure to get all the dead birds. They are very sure 

 on the track of a wounded bird, and it is almost impossible 

 for one to get away from them. 



The color of the Chesapeake Bay dogs is such that they do 

 not scare birds. I have shot over seven within two years, 

 and have found them all good duck dogs. As house dogs 

 they are very kind to children, and will mind their own 

 business. I have a bitch that stays in my house nights and 

 I have found her to be one of the best I ever had. J, G. S,
