FOREST AND STREAM. 

for it takes both of us to do the shooting.” 
Frequently when Nero makes game I hide to 
see him go through his motions. Gradually he 
stiffens into a solid point, then looks around, 
first one side, then the other. No master in 
sight. Then he slowly backs out of it, step by 
step, a dozen steps or so; next he turns round 
as slyly as a snake, then sneaks away, and in 
another moment is in a full gallop toward where 
he last saw me. I always meet him with a pat 
on the head and a “Bravo, Nero!” It seems to 
me that the advantage of a reporter is at once 
apparent, whether it be on the wide prairies of 
the West, in the hill country of the East, or in 
the dense woodcock coverts of New England. 
What a comfort and luxury to have a dog who 
will come in and report game and then lead you 
quietly to it. How many forced marches in the 
alder swamps one might save, and how lazily 
he could saunter along the ridges, leisurely 
waiting for the report of his faithful four-footed 
friend. Americans are never satisfied with any- 
thing short of the best. If we have not the re- 
porter in America, we have not the best possible 
pointing dog. 
Is not the subject worthy the attention of our 
dog breeders and dog lovers? Why not im- 
port the German reporting pointer and cross 
with our best pointers of English blood? Or 
why not develop and perfect the reporting in- 
stinct whenever it manifests itself among our 
own dogs? MARSTRAND.

HITTING vs. MISSING. 
By S. T. Hammond (“Shadow’’). Cloth. 
Mr, Hammond enjoys among his field companions the 
repute of being an unusually good shot, and one who is 
particularly successful in that most difficult branch of 
upland shooting, the pursuit of the ruffed grouse or 
partridge. This prompted the suggestion that he should 
write down for others an exposition of the methods by 
which his skill was acquired. The result is this original 
manual of “Hitting vs. Missing.’”’ We term it original, 
because, as the chapters will show, the author was self- 
taught; the expedients and devices adopted and the 
forms of practice followed were his own. This then may 
be termed the Hammond system of shooting; and as it 
was successful in his own experience, being here set 
forth simply and intelligibly, it will prove not less effec- 
tive with others.
