disappeared, and another female tahr 
sprang on to the rock. 
I waited patiently, and several others 
appeared, among them the young male. 
The shikaris urged me to fire, their 
thoughts intent on meat, but 1 still 
waited, as from what Blackmore had told 
me of these animals’ habits I thought the 
old male would be behind the others, and 
I was not disappointed. 
I was very excited now, my heart ham- 
mering away, but as I Saw the old tahr 
leap on to the rock I became steady. 
Broadside on, he stood, and the next in- 
stant toppled off the boulder into some 
bushes. The good .360 soft-nose bullet 
had sped true, and when we arrived 
where the tahr was lying we found both 
his shoulders broken. 
I measured his horns, and they both 
taped just over 14 inches. He was a 
fine specimen, and when we arrived back 
at the camp, the shikari carrying the 
head, I was rather proud.

KEEPING YOUR DOG IN 
GOOD CONDITION 
( Continued from page 44 3) 
the functional powers of his nose would 
be so impaired, sympathetically with a 
full stomach, that it would be of little 
use in distinguishing and following the 
scent. As one full meal is ample to 
sustain the dog in the best physical 
condition, the sentimental consideration 
concerning the dog’s state of hunger 
may be dismissed as negligible. He is 
always hungry, as becomes a true glut- 
ton. 
When in the best physical condition 
the dog is extremely gaunt, a matter of 
skin and bones. Apparently he is on 
the border of famishment. However, 
in this condtion, the dog eats better, 
sleeps better, works better ; in short, is 
better. After the shooting season is 
over the emaciated condition of the dog 
almost moves to tears the female mem- 
bers of the family. His ravenous ap- 
petite is quite sufficient evidence then 
that he has been starved. When rest- 
ing and well fed after a season of hard 
work the dog takes on fat at an aston- 
ishing rate. 
The need of a large quantity of food 
in idle days does not exist. However, 
the dog’s appetite, undiminished, is ready 
at all times for food offered. As a rule 
the owner’s protests against feeding- 
avail naught. The over-feeding, by sis- 
ters, cousins and aunts continues. In 
a few days the dog’s body is rounded 
out much to the gratification of the 
female contingent. They note that he 
has passed the period of starvation. As 
the dog grows fat he grows indolent, 
fat accumulates much more quickly. 
The generous feeding still continues. In 
a fat state he usually then remains till 
the next shooting reason returns. 
YANCE a dog becomes habitually in- 
w dolent from fatness and the inci- 
dental overweight, it is extremely diffi- 
cult to bring him again into the proper 
physical condition for work. To starve 
the dog into thinness of flesh is not at 
aB to the purpose, because the working
