of which are considered the purest 
and best types in existence. 
In New England, the Adirondacks 
and in the Alleghanies with their 
densely wooded foothills and thick cov- 
ert, rocks and rills, the Sussex should 
come into great demand, and in Amer- 
-jea. the land of opportunity, the Sus- 
-sex Spaniel should again come into 
prominence. One of these most excel- 
lent dogs in a community will cer- 
tainly create demand for others. 
Owls, Crows, Snakes and Cats 
DEAR FOREST AND STREAM: 
UST as soon as the writer finished 
Mr. J. B. Landreth’s article on 
“Crow Shooting Methods” in the May 
issue of our magazine, he made a fast 
trip to the old cabinet, got the Fox out 
and looked her over to see—well you 
know, just to see if she looked as good 
as ever. She did, and if she could talk 
she could tell better than I can about 
this game of crow killing, for it seems 
that is what we must do with them, for 
the crow is with a doubt one of the 
very worst pests we have with us to- 
day. Back in the times when this coun- 
try was not as thickly populated with 
humans as it now is, the crow was not 
near as plentiful nor as great a pest as 
he has gotten to be, and why was he not 
as plentiful then as now? ; 
There are several things which 
tended to keep him from increasing 
very fast in those by-gone days. 
First, Nature, and that would take 
a few pages to tell fully, but to be 
brief, when this land was covered 
with virgin forests from the Atlantic 
to Pacific, the crow had of course a fine 
hunting ground, but the great horned 
owl also had a very good hunting 
ground, and the owl’s favorite midnight 
supper was “crow squab.” He, more 
than all the other beasts and birds, kept 
Mr. Crow’s family to the proper size. 
After the forests went, the owls went 
too, and the owl has had every man’s 
hand and gun and trap against him. 
The owl likes fresh chicken, too, and 
whenever he lifted one of the settler’s 
chickens, his doom was pronounced and 
steps taken to see that the sentence was 
carried out. It seems the owl could not, 
like the crow, adapt himself to the 
changing conditions. The crow can get 
along with less woods than the owl. 
After the large forests of pine and 
hemlock commenced to go, it was a very 
easy matter to find the owls in the day- 
time, owing to the fact that the other 
forest trees, such as the oak, chestnut, 
etc., do not provide such cover as the 
first named ones do. It was easy to 
spot a bird as large as the horned owl 
among their leaves and branches, and 
worst of all for the poor old owl, he 
cannot see quite as well in the bright 
daylight as the black rascal.
