Wells, and are exceedingly full and promising. It is 
the largest entry list since '94. 
The trials this fall will be at Mitchell's Bay. where 
birds are reported to be very plentiful, and there is every 
-prospect for a successful meet. 
The time for the closing of the entries for the all-age

are nominated, and interest in the contests is very keen.

tory business. The following is a full list of the Derby

W. B. Wells, Hon. Sec'y I. F. T. C 
Stock-Tending; Instinct. 
A correspondent writes: "You. will remember that 
Mrs. Annie E. Preston some time since asked in Forest 
and Stream if dogs were ever given away, and my un- 
dertaking to supply her one. After considerable delay, I 
sent her a puppy, crossbred between a Yorkshire and 
rough-haired black and tan, and she writes me the in- 
closed letters about him. He must be something over 
eighteen months old now, and what is striking about him 
is his development of instinct for caring for animals, as 
in his selecting Mrs. Preston's cow, driving strange 
chickens off the place, etc. This is a characteristic almost 
entirely confined to the sheep dogs — collies and bobtails 
— and I never heard of a terrier developing it; their 
mastering instinct is for vermin killing, directly antagon- 
istic to the stock tending instinct." 
Mrs. Preston writes: "As you said, his mixed ancestry 
is apparent, but he must have the good points of all his 
predecessors. He will do anything that he understands, 
shakes hands, rolls over, begs, catches, sometimes speaks 
and jumps; a rubber ball is nothing to him. He makes 
himself useful as a watch dog — tramps keep shy of the 
premises — but he never even growls at our friends. He 
sends the neighbors' hens kiting. The other day he dis- 
covered a flock of brown Leghorns in the yard (ours are 
all barred Plymouth Rocks), and away he went. One he 
drove into a tree, one to the roof of the piazza, another 
across the street into the ladies' sitting room. He came 
back happy, with his mouth full of feathers. He goes 
to the pasture for the cow every night, separates our 
Jersey from the herd, and brings her to our bars," at the 
top of the hill, while the others go to the barn of a neigh- 
bor a half-mile away. And so important as he is over it; 
he fairly laughs." 
"Penny's first exploit was in hunting up a flock of 
Plymouth Rock fowls that had strayed away into the 
woodland beyond the orchard one day last autumn. We 
were wondering what had become of them and called 
them, when away went Penny like a flash, and soon we 
heard him barking in a thicket on the edge of the wood. 
Following him we found he had the truants all huddled 
together, and he then proceeded to drive them to their 
quarters. 
"A few days later, the cow, a most capincious creature, 
hid herself in a little nook behind some rocks in the 
orchard, and when we called her he went and found her. 
He has since kept it up, and as soon as she was turned 
out to pasture this spring he went for her every night. 
Now he only barks when he finds her and if she refuses 
to come to the bars. He drives her quietly if she behaves 
properly. He keeps our fowls at home and off the flower 
beds instinctively, and the neighbors' Fowls at home." 
Lost Fox Terrier. 
Guelph, Ont., July 1. — I wish to know if you would 
put the following in as a local, so that all your subscrib- 
ers would take notice of same, as I am led to believe that 
a great number of stolen dogs has been recovered in this 
way, as all sportsmen are endeavoring to put a stop to the 
contemptible manner which some people have in pro- 
curing a good dog: 
Stolen on March 16, fox terrier dog. eight months old, 
black head, white body, one side of neck black half-way. 
Answers to the name of "Sting." Any reader will confer 
a favor on a brother sportsman by advising me any in- 
formation with regard to the above. Address R. H. 
Rodger, Guelph, Ont. 
Points and Flushes. 
Mr. T. Farrar Rackham. who has been long and 
favorably known as Spratts Patent traveling representa- 
tive, will start on his regular trip through the South and 
West with Spratts new line of medicines, or rather the 
old medicines in a new and more convenient form. 
Many of the medicines are prepared now in the form of 
tablets, capsules and ointments, thus being more con-- 
venient to handle in every way, while retaining their effi- 
cacy unimpared. All remedies are in amber glass bottles, 
the cork_covered with airtight capsule, and the whole 
wrapped in transparent parchment paper. In the list of 
medicines in the new form are tonic and condition tab- 
lets, distemper tablets, alterative cooling tablets, anti- 
ricket tablets, eye lotion tablets, jaundice cure tablets, 
vermifuge capsules, sprain and rheumatism liniment, hair 
stimulent ointment, eczema cure, two kinds of mange 
cure, 'cough pills, etc. They have perfected a new prep- 
aration whose merits they extol highly, their veterin- 
ary antiseptic soap, which may be beneficially used as 
an antiseptic and germicide, and may be used alike with 
curative results on man or beast in cases of cuts, bruises, 
skin diseases, etc.; and in cases of mange in the dog, and 
obscure skin diseases in general, it is said to be wonder- 
fully efficacious. Mr. Rackham, besides being a skilful 
judge, bench show and poultry show manager, is quite 
expert in medicines. 
Mr. Jos. W. Irwin, of Little Rock. Ark., writes us that 
his setter bitch has raised four dog and three bitch pup- 
pies. He says: "They are beauties, and I expect great 
things of mine. I have divided them with my friend. 
Judge Guinotte, of Kansas City. I have quite a string 
now of pointers and setters and Chesapeakes, all good 
ones. I hope next year to enjoy some fine sport. Last 
year quail were not plentiful in this section, but I hope 
for better results this year." 
Keep in mind that entries of the Continental Field 
Trial Club close positively on Aug. 1. The purse is 
$500^ The trials will be held on grounds at Lexington, 
N. C, Dec. 5. Lexington and Newton, N. C, are but a 
few hours apart, so that the E. F. T. C. trials and the 
C. F. T. C. trials can be attended without extra travel 
and with insignificant extra expense. Write to Secretary 
W. B. Meares, Hillsboro, N. C, for the club's artistic 
brochure, which contains a list of the club's officers and 
the stakes and their conditions.

No notice taken of anonymous communications. 
C. de L. 
B., Amherst, N. S.— Kindly tell me through the 
columns of your valuable paper where I can get carp frv and the 
probabilities of receiving it safe in Nova Scotia. Ans." Carp fry 
may be had in this city (of Mr. E. G. Blackford, Fulton Market), 
shipped in cans at a cost of $10 per hundred and $2 for the can 
(a can will carry fifty carp), and the fish will go safely a four 
days' trip. 
Poster, Ellenville, N. Y— The provisions for posting private 
game parks are as follows in the New York game law; we omit the 
penalty clauses: 
Sec. 210. No person shall trespass upon inclosed or cultivated 
lands for the purpose of shooting or hunting any game, or taking 
any fish from private ponds or streams, after public notice has been 
given by the owner or person entitled to the exclusive right to 
shoot or fish thereon, as provided in this article. 
Sec. 211. The notice provided for in the last section shall be given 
by maintaining signboards at least one foot square upon at least 
every fifty acres of the premises sought to be protected upon or 
near the lot lines thereof, or upon or near the shores of any waters 
thereon, in at least two conspicuous places, or by personal service 
of a notice containing a brief description of the premises and name 
of the owner or of the person having the exclusive right to shoot, 
hunt or fish thereon, and prohibiting the same. 
Sec. 212. A person owning or having the exclusive right to shoot, 
hunt or fish on lands, or lands and water, desiring to devote such 
land, or lands and water, to the propagation or protection of fish, 
birds or game, shall publish in a newspaper printed in the county 
within which such land or lands and water are situate a notice, 
once a week, for a term not less than four weeks in the county 
where the lands so described are situated, substantially describing 
the same and containing a clause declaring that such land or lands 
and water will be used as a private park for the purpose of propa- 
gating and protecting fish, birds and game. 
Sec. 213. There shall be posted and maintained upon such private 
territory notices or signboards, not less than one foot square,

consist entirely of land, or when it shall consist of both land and 
water they shall be placed so that there shall be at least one notice" 
or signboard for every hundred acres thereof. When the private 
property consists of a lake, pond or stream only such notices

shore of such lake or pond, and one of such notices shall be placed 
on every half-mile of such stream in a conspicuous place on the

so protected, except with the consent of the owner or person hav- 
ing the exclusive right to shoot, hunt or fish thereon. 
A Remarkable Score. 
Mr. G. H. Haulexbeek, of New York, sends us the cut of a 
target, concerning which he writes: "You will doubtless be in- 
terested to know of the wonderful score recently made by Mr. Z. 
C. Talbot, one of the members of the Smith & Wesson Revolver 
Club. With a lOin. barrel, single shot. .22cal., at 20yds., he scored 
a very high score — 99."
