FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Jan. 1, 1893. 



DOG STORIES. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



I have an irlea (please omit the usual pleasantries on such 

 an an noun cement). 



The old saying that "Every flog has his clay," is being 

 pretty well verified, vide the* dog shows, when he has his 

 several days, and he is of sufficient importance to occupy 

 several pages of valuable space in the Forest and Stream 

 each week. There is a good deal of the dryer statistical — 

 pedigreeical and similar matter of intere st to dog breeders; 

 but as complete as all that is, the deg does not really get 

 justice done him, and we readers who love dogs want to hear 

 more of them in other ways or otherwise. You tell us all about 

 their merits as field dogs and their aristocratic lineage, but 

 nothing of their social qualities. Now, why can't we have 

 a little discussion from tbe usual dog lore and give them a 

 social show? We all know that the dog is more in the line 

 of man's chum than strictly confined in use to a few days' 

 shooting in the year. The Forest and Stream has given 

 all other animals and subjects a pretty good show. Bears, 

 coons and woodchucks have had a good showing, and now 

 young cubs have their innings (vide "Boyhood stories"). So 

 I don't see why you should not have a "That reminds me" 

 column Ifor short dog stories or short, tales of dogs. Can't 

 spare the space? Nonsense. Have you not given columns 

 to dog sights or fights of owners over their dogs? What I 

 propose would be much more interesting. 



How many of your readers really care, do you suppose, 

 whether a great Dane or Ulmer has twelve joints in his tail 

 or thirteen, over which or equally interesting points dog 

 men wrangle. We have heard ;all about his ears, his 

 tail, now lei; us hear something about his head, or what is 

 inside of it— his intelligence. I know you will be deluged 

 with dog stories that will make your hair curl and out- 

 Herod any fish story on record. Never mind that; you are 

 not responsible. It is not your conscience that is being 

 damaged. 



I am a friend of the dog in general, and do not confine my- 

 self exclusively to dogs of high degree either, although my 

 inclinations point that way; but I can see merit aud a soul 

 in many a miserable little "ornery cuss" of a dog. with no 

 more pedigree than half our millionaires that ride in car- 

 riages. 



I have owned lots of dogs, some good, some indifferent, 

 but few bad: and my experience is, that there are more good 

 dogs than good men— that is, a larger percentage of good- 

 ness than in mankind. That was a sensible remark of the 

 man or woman (a woman, I reckon) who said the more he 

 knew of dogs the less he thought of men, or the more he 

 knew of men the more he thought of dogs, whichever way it 

 was— you have the idea either way. 



I could fill a column of the Forest And Stream every 

 week with "tales of the dogs I have owned," but I promise 

 not to be so hard on you, and will give others a show. I 

 could begin now with one in point, not a pointer, but a little 

 rascal of a fox-terrier with scarce any tail at all, that is at 

 this moment at my feet working away vigorously on an old 

 slipper, which he is reducing to shreds. He is the pest as 

 well as the pet of the house. One moment down in the 

 kitchen worrying the cat, the next at the top of the house 

 lugging off everything in reach, aud by the same token gave 

 the household a chance to run an embarrassing joke on a 

 lady boarder and myself by the fact of the discovery of my 

 slippers in the lady's bedroom the other morning. Fortu- 

 nately my "previous good character" and an alibi was a 

 saving clause; but all this, as Rudyard Kipling says, has 

 nothing to do with the story. What I am getting at is the 

 suggestion that, inasmuch as you are enlarging the Forest 

 AND Stream, and have given the other animals such a show- 

 ing and now the cubs (i. e., the boyhood yarns), let us have 

 the dog "that reminds me," Fish stories will have to rake 

 a back seat. The change will be refreshing. Podoers, 



NOTES AND NOTIONS, 



T"T is almost axiomatic that early legislation is crude, that 

 JL fuudamenfpl principles are overlooked and surface sores 

 are the only ones treated. This is natural, as only experi- 

 ence develops what the underlying principles are. Now 

 dog show legislation is necessarily new, dog shows not hav- 

 ing existed long enough to result in the gathering of the ex- 

 periences that determine primary principles. Thus a 

 majority of dog show enactments are not founded on the 

 essentials from which shows derive their support, but on 

 the needs most at hand, of the exhibitors themselves, disre- 

 garding too much the visiting public, who, after all, are the 

 mainstays of shows, for it goes without saying that if 

 visitors do not attend shows there will be no revenue and 

 therefore no shows. Now large as the dog loving public is, 

 they alone will not support shows, we must draw in those 

 having little or no love tor dogs, who are moved to attend- 

 ance by curiosity, and I can conceive of nothing more potent 

 toward keeping such visitors away from shows than the in- 

 cident, far too common, of a visitor being bitten by a dog. 

 It is true that a majority of such sufferers have none but 

 themselves to blame, their imprudence in handling and 

 petting dogs bringing the biting on them, but neverthelessit 

 is unquestionable that show committees knowingly permit 

 dangerous dogs to be exhibited without taking precautions 

 to prevent the public handling them. Any old habitue of 

 shows can recall the names of many dogs that would bite 

 on the least provocation, and who went the circuit of our 

 shows with no kindly grating to protect the unwary public. 



I am glad to see English papers speaking right out on this 

 subject, the London Stock-Keeper calling attention to tbe 

 growing ill temper of St. Bernards, and the Bazaar narrat- 

 ing the unprovoked attack of a mastiff in the ring on its 

 kennel companion, the Bazaar doing the more effectual 

 service in boldly naming the offending dog. I have no doubt 

 that the owner of this quarrelsome animal will take offense 

 at the frank publication of the dog's misdeed, but which is 

 the more important, that the feelings of owners of savage, 

 dangerous or quarrelsome dogs be unruffled, or that the 

 public be protected ? 



The ordinary prescription for any trouble is, "bring it to 

 the attention of the American Kennel Club and have it 

 enact a rule," but, with all respect for that organization, it 

 is too much of a clinic (I think that is the medical word) for 

 trying patent nostrums, to deal with so important a matter, 

 and the best course is for every show to provide itself with 

 ample gratings for dogs showing any disposition to biting, 

 and at the first indication of anything of the sort put up the 

 grating. Our invaluable friend, the dog-show reporter, will 

 certainly note this incident, or if he is too much afraid of 

 cutting down his paper's list of stud-dog advertisements, 

 such an act cannot be kept hidden and the owner of a 

 dangerous dog will take the initiative himself in this 

 matter. 



"*'*$>. 



The late amendments to the dog show rules of the Ameri- 

 can Kennel Club indicate a tendency in the direction of 

 over-legislating that will certainly produce trouble aud 

 confusion in time. A recent contributor to your paper 

 pointed out the propensity there is for multiplication of 

 legal enactments, aiming to cure every evil under the sun by 

 a special act directed against each particular grieyanfie. 

 This tendency is so well known to students of legislation 

 that State constitutions now generally provide against the 

 mischief thus wrought, by prohibition of any special legis- 

 lation, requiring all to ba general in purpose. So well set- 

 tled is tijis in tbe public mind that a recent attempt to call 



a convention for constructing a new constitution for the 

 State of Pennsylvania was overwhelmingly defeated at the 

 polls, largely from the apprehension of another dose of "too 

 much law." The American Kennel Club promises to be- 

 come over-lawed very rapidly. 



The English Kennel Club has under consideration a ques- 

 tion of vast importance, nothing less than a proposal to ex- 

 clude from exhibition at shows under Kennel Club rules, 

 all dogs shown at shows not under these rules. While 

 "The Onlooker" does not deem it discreet to discuss the 

 merits of the question submitted, it is very proper to call 

 attention to the tone and manner in which it was discussed, 

 the ordinary arguments pro and con that Americans have 

 become so familiarized with being presented, and it is im- 

 possible to withhold admiration for the final question put 

 by Mr. Shirley, the chairman of the club, whether the ex- 

 hibiting public wished such a rule made? and indicating 

 that the decision of the matter should hinge on this. We 

 free Americans may take a lesson from despot-ridden 

 Britain in this remark of Mr. Shirley's. 



As a fact, however, the American, doggy or non-doggy, 

 rebels at no tyranny at home. He is always ready to fight 

 anybody foreign to him, but submits to a galling yoke of 

 slavery from his fellow American such as Britons fought 

 down some centuries since. The Onlooker, 



CHARLESTON SHOW. 



[Special to Forest and Stream,] 



CHARLESTON, S. C , Jan. 6. -This show opened yester- 

 day with about sixty-five dogs and a thousa nd poul try, 

 Some noted dogs are here. Laura B., Spot, Sting, Rosa, 

 May Treasure, Cassino and others. Pointer, setter and ter- 

 rier classes are good. Entries nearly all local. H. W. L. 



ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



There is no charge for answering questions under this head. All 

 questions relating to ailment* of dogs will be answered by Dr. 'E.G. 

 Sherwood, a member of the Royal College of Veterinary surgeons. 

 Communications referring to other matters connected, with Kennel 

 Management and dogs will receive careful attention, 



W, H. P.— The best dressing for killing flpas is one part of kero- 

 sene to two of cottoc-seed oil. Or you mar add two ounces of 

 kerosene to a pail of water, in which wash the dog. 



A Reader.— I have a foxhound puppy, ten mouths old, that has 

 every point of making a good dog-, but his mouth and throat 

 are covered with warts (they look just like those a p°rson would 

 have on the bauds). Ans. Remove the warts with a pair of 

 scissors, cut off a few everyday or every other day till they are 

 removed. 



Constant Reader.— I have a fox-terrier hitch a year old, now 

 in heat. When bix months old she was in heat and was lined, 

 without effect, by a dog at the keDnels of a friend. Is there any 

 danger of there being uo result should I have her lined again, and 

 what could he doiie to aid matters, provided she is not barren? 

 1 have heard that a doae of salts is good for a bitch before having 

 her 1 ned. Ir that so? Ans. There is no reason why she should 

 not breed this time. Give two services. You can do nothing to 

 aid her. 



0. W. F., Cleveland. 0.— Once more I am obliged to call on you 

 for a lift. My beagle bitch Stella, m whelp and due about Jan. 1.8, 

 1893, has worms, the short, flat variety. Would I dare to give 

 her anything to drive them off before she whelps, and what? Or 

 would it be policy to wait until aftei? She is now 9 years old, in 

 good condition otherwise, and i should very much like to raise 

 her puppies in order to retain some of her blood. Ans. Give, 

 after twelve hours' fasting, one scruple of powder areca nut; two 

 hours after give a teaspoonful of castor oil. It should not hurt 

 the coming lit ter. 



Reader.— My five-year-old Irish setter had a bad case of dis- 

 temper last spring. He seems lo have recovered, with the excep- 

 tion that h is nose is dry and hot and be has lost courage. He eats 

 wed and bunts well, but is not half the dog he was. What can I 

 do for him? Aus. The nose will always remain more or less dry. 

 Apply a little boracic ointment twice a day; this will improve it. 

 Also give, tbe dog the following mixture for three or four weeks; 

 it will improve his system and in this way his "courage:" Tr. 

 nucis vom., lj^drs.; liquor arsenicalis, ldr.; dialjzed iron, 2drs.; 

 water, 6oz. Give one tablespoonful twice a day. 



G. P., Regina, Canada.— I have a pointer bitch, 4 years old, 

 which is affected with what 1 believe is eczema. It causes her to 

 scratch until the skin bleeds. The parts chiefly affected are the 

 hack and base of ears, throat and stomach, and slightly so on feet 

 and legs. Have been giving compound rhubarb pills, two each 

 morning, for twelve days, and bathing parts affected twice daily 

 with an alkali wash, but there is no improvement. 1 fef d only 

 once a day. Ans. Apply following dressing all over the dog 

 every other day for a fortnight, tbeu wash off and repeat if ntcef-- 

 sary: Kerosene one pint, oil of tar two ounces, sulphur sublimed 

 eight ounces, cotton seed oil three ounces. Give five drops of 

 Fowler's solution of arsenic twice a day. Also treat for worms. 



"FOREST AND STREAM" TOURNAMENT 



FOR NEW JERSEY RIFLE CLUBS. 



The opening matches in the trophy touruameut were shot on 

 Monday night, the Our Ow n s meeting 1 he Puritans, the Millers 

 shooting against the Excelsiors and the Hudsons trying their 

 skill against the Palisades. The scores were below the average 

 in each of the matches, but as soon as the novelty wears off the 

 clubs will settle clown to their proper shoot ing form and good scores 

 will rule. The tournament is exciting a greit deal of interest all 

 over the country and the work of the various teams will be- 

 closely noted. The effect on gallery shooting is bound to be bene- 

 ficial.

NOTES. 



The Miller Rifle Club headquartera, 80 Hudson street, Hoboken, 

 are beiug thoroushly renovated and refurnished, and will no 

 doubt prnye a comfortable place for the visiting marksmen in the 

 Forest and Stream Tournament. 



Tbe Standard Rifle Club, corner First, and Jackson streets, 

 Hoboken, has only one taoge, and it will take about twice as 

 long to shoot off the matches as it will anywhere else. The range 

 is 98ft. long, the shooter fires through a slit, it being a half slit, 

 half box channel. It is, perhaps, needless to say that the aver- 

 ages will drop when the different clubs come there. 



In the 10-men team match between the Miiler Rifle Club vs. 

 Manhattan Shooiiug Club, the Millers will be represen'ed by- 

 David Miller, Louis Flack, Frederick Brandt. August Meyere, 

 George Schlicht, Louis V< gel. Ernest Fischer, L. Pohl. Frederick 

 Liell, and either Charles Judson or J. H. Kruse. The first match 

 t^kes place at Zettler's Gallery, 219 Bowery, New York, Thurs-
