Destroying a Vicious Dog 
I have been appealed to to get rid of 
a vicious, dangerous dog in our neigh¬ 
borhood. The owner seems to "have a 
pull” in city matters. The police pay no 
attention to complaints; neither does the 
board of health. The dog is so bad that 
women and children have to pass on other 
side of street. Will you advise me the 
best way to poison the dog, the kind of 
poison, size of dose and kind of meat or 
food to use? B. ii. 
While you may be morally justified in 
ridding the neighborhood of a dangerous 
nuisance, I am afraid that, legally, you 
might get in wrong if you took the law, 
if not the dog, into your own hands. And 
then, aren’t you trying to make an ac¬ 
complice of Tiie R. N.-Y.? Suppose that, 
we should advise what poison and what 
vehicle to use; couldn’t, we be called ac¬ 
cessories before the fact? Probably the 
owner of this dog believes that it has th» 
sweetest disposition in the world and 
that the neighbors who don’t like him are 
just old grouches, anyway. That is the 
way that most of us feel about our own 
dog, though we can readily see the defects 
in character of any other animal. There 
is no questioning the fact that dogs have 
been much overestimated, by their own¬ 
ers. There is much sentiment with re¬ 
gard to them that isn’t justified, except 
in the case of our own dog. But senti¬ 
ment is one of the strongest forces in the 
world and it won’t do to disregard it. 
Leaving poisoned bait for a dog around, 
particularly in a city, is dangerous. There 
is no way of knowing that the animal for 
whom it is intended will get it. I can 
even see that some hungry and thought¬ 
less child might eat enough poisoned meat 
that was intended for a dog to kill it. 
No, if I were to advise in this rather deli¬ 
cate matter, I should suggest that, you 
put a pistol into your pocket, first getting 
permission from the authorities to carry 
one, then saunter slowly past the resi¬ 
dence of the owner of the dog, whistling 
some popular tune, not. the one about 
bananas, for that would be construed by 
any court as justification for attack on 
the part of the mildest-mannered dog, 
and, if this dog complained of leaves its 
owner’s premises and threatens you, 
shoot it. No one is compelled by law to 
permit a dog to chew up his legs, or even 
ruin a usable pair of pantaloons. Upon 
the other hand, no one should attempt to 
shoot a dog unless sufficiently skillful in 
the use of weapons to avoid hitting his 
own feet or some innocent bystander. 
There are, as you will see, complications 
attending even the best-laid plans for get¬ 
ting rid of an undesirable dog, but, just 
between you and me, the city and town is 
no place for any dog. There, is only one 
place for a dog; that is out in the" open 
country, where boys live and woodchucks 
congregate. City ordinances should pro¬ 
hibit their being harbored where condi¬ 
tions of life are wholly foreign to them 
and where it is very difficult to prevent 
their becoming a nuisance. M. b. d. 
More About Duck Eggs 
We started 10 years ago with six day- 
old ducklings. One died, the others 
thrived, until today finds us with 79 
breeders, including 13 males. So far we 
have raised for eggs alone, only selling 
culls and extra males. Possibly the Run¬ 
ners may lay smaller eggs. Our ducks 
are a cross between Pekin and Buff Orp¬ 
ington, and are kept two seasons, second 
year producing very large eggs. Custom¬ 
ers began buying at Easter time and were 
at u nat j ves of Ireland and Scotland 
who had raised ducks at home and knew 
the superior qualities of clean-fed ducks 
as flesh and egg producers. The number 
of customers has increased faster than 
production in our case, until the last 
two season have been obliged to purchase 
our ducklings for lack of eggs, and they 
lay most astonishing quantities of eggs, 
too. Suggest to J. A. R. that duck eggs 
should be broken into a dish of boiling 
water to which a dash of vinegar must 
be' added, to keep egg compact and solid 
while cooking. That, with ham, will 
make a breakfast which will produce con¬ 
verts who will always remain faithful to 
that sort of food. 
As J. A. R. seems to be a true duck 
lover, would also suggest he get a larger 
breed and a small incubator and hatch 
surplus. Be careful to set no eggs more 
than live days old. 
Duck eggs do not readily beat up for 
frosting, etc., but for making cake are 
superior to hens’ eggs in ratio of two to 
three. david a. polley.
