quite a distance off which gave it second 
money which it was fully entitled to. 
The bitch which was third in pace 
and hunting qualities did not class up 
with some of the other dogs in the stake, 
but made two nice points in quick succes¬ 
sion and handled her game very well, which 
landed her in the money. 
GROUSE TRIALS 
W HILE field trials are run success¬ 
fully on both quail and prairie 
chickens, it remained for the Penna. 
Field Trial Club to demonstrate that suc¬ 
cessful trials could be run on ruffed 
grouse, and the Club will this year give its 
fifth annual trials on ruffed grouse at 
Kane, Pa., which will meet with their usual 
success. These trials require a dog that is 
good on game and that does not range as 
wide as is required for quail and chickens. 
However, since these trials were started 
attempts have been made to introduce the 
fast, classy dog as a grouse dog with the 
result that quite a difference of opinions 
arose among the grouse dog fraternity as 
to what constitutes a good grouse dog. The 
result has been the formation of the Amer¬ 
ican Grouse Dog Association which has 
defined the best Grouse Dog from a breed¬ 
ers’ and owners’ standpoint, and this or¬ 
ganization will this year run a stake on 
ruffed grouse the week of November 12th, 
the winner of which will be known as the 
National Grouse Dog Champion of America. 
WORMS IN PUPPIES 
A RECA nut, santonine and turpentine 
are three of the commonest remedies 
used to rid a dog of worms, but they 
all tend to inflame the urinary organs and 
often leave the dog in a bad state. The 
safest of the home remedies is pumpkin 
seed emulsion and in case you have no 
pumpkin seed handy ask your druggist for 
Dent’s Vermifuge. It will expel both round 
and tape worms and also tone up the dog’s 
system. Another good thing to use is pow¬ 
dered charcoal, a teaspoonful twice a day 
for a week. Charcoal is a purifier of the 
system because it absorbs gases rapidly. 
One cubic inch of fresh charcoal will ab¬ 
sorb nearly 100 inches of gaseous ammonia. 
When given to a dog it absorbs or destroys 
the putrescent gases which are generated 
in the stomach and alimentary canal. Char¬ 
coal ape Acts on the digestive organs, in¬ 
creasing their power as well as healing any 
unhealthy condition of the stomach. 
FEEDING PUPPIES 
T HE rule in feeding very young puppies 
should be little and often ; they should 
be fed at least four times a day and if 
they are not good keepers, five times. 
There is an old rule for measuring quan¬ 
tity of as much bulk as the size of the 
puppy’s head for each meal. Milk both 
fresh and sour is the basis of a puppy’s 
food, mashed potatoes, boiled carrots and 
turnips are also good. Stale bread, oat¬ 
meal and rice are useful, but they must 
be thoroughly cooked. Be careful about 
giving bones; dogs both j^oung and old 
should have something to gnaw at and 
there is nothing that serves the dog as 
satisfactorily as Sprat’s Dog Cakes. Pup¬ 
pies cut their teeth on them and grown 
dogs keep their teeth clean by gnawing 
without wearing them down to mere 
stumps, which soon occurs if allowed hard 
bones and detracts from their appearance.
