A young man from one of the back
towns came in to buy a present for his
girl last week. His wondering gaze
being fixed by the gorgeous display in a
dry goods window, he entered the store
and b%lashfully stopped in front of Il
pretty young lady behind the counter.
"How much are those?" he inquired,
pointingt to parrot handsomely wrought
nickel-plated carriers in the window.
"Seyenty-tive CENTS" replied the young
lady, handing out the articles in ques-
ton and blushing slightly. 81 think
they are kinder pretty, don't you?" in
Quired the young man, anxious for
somebody else's opinion. Very" re-
piled the young miss; "they are the
latest STYLE" Everybody wears them,
don't they? continued the young man.

lady, affecting an unconcerned air. Il

%nervously, "Do you think she would

blushing again. We'll, [ don't know

II OF the dainty articles and examin-
ing it closely. "You don't suppose they
are too large now, do you 2" Why, l.
II stammered the young lady, the
blush growing deeper. "Thev seem
sorter big like" continued the young
man, not observing her confusion, but,
of course, l wouldn't be certain, She's
middle size, but not very fat, and mebbe
these would be a little too close. |
should think she was just about your
bigness, an if these would fit you of
course they'd fit her. Now, just suppose
you try them on, an if "Sir!h ex-
claimed the young lady behind the
counter, in an awful voice, tha5 lifted
the young mans hat on the end of his
hair, you are insulting" and she swept
away to the rear of the store, leaving
the bewildered young man standing in
dumb amazement, holding in his hands
what he supposed was a beautiful pair
of bracelets; and when one of the men
clerks came and explained his mistake,
the young man from the back town
struck a direct line for his team, and in
a very brief space Of time was tearing
toward home at a rate that threatened
to irretrievably ruin the old family
horse. He woa't buy any bracelets now
until he's misunderstanding Ameri-

L have invested several hundred dol
lars in dogs, and so far my experience
has taught me that there is but little to
be made in breeding Or breaking dogs.
1 could name many gentlemen who have
had like experience. ! have been led to
write this, not to bewail my losses, for
/ can stand that not to find fault, for |
have no fault to find; but merely to ex-
plain why a well-bred and well-brOken
dog is worth $3.50. Ask Mr.. David
Samborn how much it cost to break
Nellie, the champion at Hampton. Pro-
baby he would not tell you, but, it he
values his time at mechanics wages,
$3.50 would not reimburse him for it.
"FOols rush in where angels fear to
tread" So beg of you, my dear brother
sportsmen, do not entertain the notion
that we dOg-men are getting rich, and
then invest your bottom dollar in start
ing a new kennel. If you own a good
pup and have no time to break it, | can
name a few men such as Waddington,
Morgan, Whitford, and a dozen others
who might be named. who know how
to do it, and if they ask you S75 or 800
for educating your dog ready for use,
don't begrudge the money. The eason
why there are so many half-broken dogs
in the country, is simply because the
average sportsmen expects them to grow
like a mushroom in n night.
Iexpect this letter to be criticised even
worse than my little pamphlet, called
"Hints on Dog Breaking,"w was, but that
does not matter it ii only throws light
on a subject that has been hid so long.

The Cost of Raising and Break
ing Dogs.
Nv. H. Hclabird, in Chicago Field.

" i"p III SulCdSU flelu.l
| am inclined to write you a brief
letter upon a subject concerning which
many ,sportsmen are entirely ignorant
1t is the cost of raising and breaking
sporting dogs. Many may feel indiffer-
emit as to whether it costs much or little,
but to us who are interested in breed
ing, and who occasionally sell a pup or
a broker dog, this question is not void
OF interest: When I advertise a lot
OF well.bred pups at $50 each or $75, I
know that | am only getting my money
back, and sometimes not that. A few
days ago a gentleman in the Southwest
c~orresponded with me relative to buy
ing a broken setter dog. My price was
goo Gust about actual cost of breaking.)
In his reply he said: 81 do not con-
sldera native setter worth much more
than the cost of b~reaking-say $35."
Now, this gentleman has either broken
but few dogs, or he estimates his time
as OF little value. Let us suppose, for
an illustration:
One pup (%nativeJ value at six weeks..--.s Is 90
Keeping until five months old, 35c. per
House-brcaking, 80 days, the paltry sum
-Four months actual work in the field, at
$15 per month 60 90
Dogs keeping, six - 90
.s1o7 60
St. Landry democrat., 1879-03-29
Suppose | pay s. to advertise this dog
and at last sell him for $50, where is my

and at last sell him for $75, where is my
profit?
hear some M say: Why do you sell
dogs if it is a losing business? My an
sWer is, W do not estimate time in
counting the cost of the dog, only the
actual cash out.
Now, let us try to illustrate the value
of al imported dog, or of a young dog
from the fancy English and Irish stock.
1 will illustrate it best by my own actual
experience with three:
Oh. to-
! red Irish dog pup, kennel Of Arnold
buTSeS. $50 %

wood IS 90
