Spratt’s Dog Remedies 
Are the result of many years’ experience and 
experimentation. 
They are packed to keep in any climate and are 
noted for their efficacy and the ease with which 
they can be administered. 
Below is a partial list: 
there is cover of any sort, either woods 
or swamp, within a radius of 300 yards, 
it is quite likely that the birds will make 
for it. In the absence of woods or swamps, 
if there is a depression or hollow, or even 
an old fence overgrown with weeds or 
vines, the chances are that it will be there 
that the birds will take refuge. 
There is a difference of opinion as to 
whether the dog should be taught to flush 
the birds, or whether the sportsman should 
do this himself. The more experienced 
sportsmen—those connected with fiqld 
trials and familiar with all the finer points 
of dog handling—believe that the birds 
should be flushed by the sportsman. 
Allowing a dog to flush the birds cer¬ 
tainly does not cultivate in him the quality 
of staunchness. And some of the argu¬ 
ments in favor of this work being done by 
the sportsman are as follows: 
The fact should not be lost sight of that 
the dog is pointing the birds for his mas¬ 
ter to shoot. He naturally wants to know 
what you are doing and where you are. 
Therefore, walk around him, or come up 
from one side, or directly toward him so 
he can see exactly what you are doing. 
This steadies him, and gives him confi¬ 
dence in himself and in you. 
Walk up to the birds deliberately, and 
do not rush in as though you were driving 
a pig to a corner. Do not shoot the mo¬ 
ment the birds break cover. If you do, 
the chances are you will miss your birds 
entirely: or, if you hit, the bird will be 
torn to pieces and unfit for the game bag. 
In either crossing shots or straight¬ 
aways, wait until the birds are fifteen or 
twenty paces away before pressing the 
trigger. And when your bird is down, do 
not run in and get it as if it was a life 
and death matter. It is by imitating your 
example that dogs are frequently apt to 
break shot. 
THE IRISH SETTER IN BRITAIN 
(continued from PAGE 211) 
through and through,—the erratic, loving, 
clever, beautiful Irishman. 
Forgive me! If this is too long, and 
full of detail; remember I am an ardent 
lover of Irish setters, and I have seen 
them on the decline. 
With best wishes to all Irish setter lov¬ 
ers— A. P. R. S'turdee.
