SAVED RABBIT FROM BLACKSNAKE. 
While hunting for rabbits in Hickory 
township recently, Lamont Stivers heard a 
commotion in a clump of bushes. Approach¬ 
ing the spot, he found a large blacksnake slowly 
wrapping itself about the body of a rabbit. 
The. rabbit was making, a desperate effort to 
escape. 
Stivers blew the head off the snake, which 
measured nearly six feet in length. As soon 
as the coils of the snake relaxed, the rabbit 
made its escape.—Pittsburgh Dispatch.

Kentucky Trials. 
The annual trials of the Kentucky Field 
Trial Association were run at Glasgow Junction, 
Ky., on Nov. 12. When the entries closed on 
the morning of the trials, seven setters and two 
pointers had been named, and the entrance fee 
of $5 paid. The territory selected was a good 
one for field trial purposes, practically level, with 
diversified cover and plenty of birds. The club 
had the privilege of about 2,000 acres, but it 
was not found necessary to use more than a 
small portion of this tract. The services of M. 
Shiley were secured as field marshal, and being 
perfectly familiar with the grounds, he avoided 
all but the birdiest portions of the country. The 
conditions were not of the best, it being very 
dry and unseasonably warm all day with a strong- 
wind blowing. Only one stake was run, open to 
setters and pointers of all ages. Charles H. 
Gorham, of Louisville, Ky., acted as judge. The 
winner, Jessee’s Mohawk Kate, owned by P. C. 
Jessee, of Bowling Green, is by Mohawk II. 
She is a classy little bitch, very fair in range 
and speed, and handles birds in a workmanlike 
manner, being well broken and under good con¬ 
trol. She was not in the best of physical con¬ 
dition, and let up a little toward the last of the 
forty-minute heat, but at all times stayed out to 
her work and hunted industriously. In her sec¬ 
ond series heat she showed well on scattered 
birds, refusing to become excited and chase, as 
singles flushed around her in rapid succession. 
Mack, a black and white pointer, owned by 
J. G. Ray, of Bowling Green, is a strong goer 
and stylish traveler, good range and speed, but 
needs toning down, as he is apt to be headstrong 
when on game. He is a bird finder and had a 
number of points to his credit in both his heats, 
but was unsteady when they were flushed. 
Aristocrat, orange and white setter, owned 
by Alanson Trigg, of Louisville, was placed 
third. He is a stylish mover and can find birds, 
but lacks steadiness. In the second series heat 
he was handled by S. W. Linebaugh. In the 
first heat he made a good bevy find, but was not 
steady to flush. In the second heat he pointed 
several times, but no birds were raised.

The presence of worms has a very bad ef¬ 
fect on a gun dog, for it is always ill-nourished, 
and for that reason slack. It entirely lacks 
energy, and a very easy day thoroughly tires it 
out. The dog invariably appears short of wind. 
The morbid appetite created by worms is ruin¬ 
ous to a dog, especially a retriever. If the dog 
does not commit the extreme crime of eating 
game, the game may be crushed, and then a 
hard mouth is developed. We have seen a dog 
throw its training to the winds under the in¬ 
fluence of the lassitude and ill health engen¬ 
dered by worms, and the real cause was never 
suspected. The course of preparation which a 
dog goes through before the shooting season 
should always include treatment for worms. 
This is most necessary, and ought never to be 
neglected.
