DOCS THAT DON'T NEED HANDLING. "A
Council Bluffs correspondent of the Chicago
Field says: notice in the correspond
ence between Messrs. Campbell and Bry-
son that they have controversy about
which dog was handled the best in their
match last Fall, and l noticed that Mr.
Bryson says he has employed Mr.. Whit
ford to "handle Gladstone in proposed
match against Joe Jr. Now, what would
like to know is whether the match is to be
made between the dogs or the &c handler" "
of the dogs. If the dogs are only to be used
to test the skill of the handlers, then we
of the Far West have no interest in the
match, because it will be match between
men and not between the dogs, and the
best handler will win the most points.
What we want out here is dog that can
handle himseLf-one that is as feet as the
wind and as staunch as a post when he
finds game. We don't want to be con-
stantly bawling Take care Jake y Down
Joe y "To-ho !" eli away !" "Come
an !" Mind what you are about p ETC.,
to the end of the dog-handling vocabulary.
a dog that requires to be told where the
game is and be careful least he hushes it,
Is about on par with learned pig and
requires too much attention to be of much
service to a sportsman. Such dog is
about on par with the Irishman
who said "Show me the door and I'll find
the house"
FISH IN THE DELAwARE.-The distri-
button of salmon in the Delaware river,
says the Trenton True american, has been
successfully completed under the direction
of the State Fish Commissioners of New
Jersey. There were 100000 California
and 10000 Atlantic salmon placed in the
river. These were furnished gratis by
D..
and the only expense to the State was that
of Matching and distribution. They were
all healthy, and averaged an inch and a
half in length. About 20, 900 land-locked
salmon are Matched and ready for distribu-
ton in the cold lakes in the northern por.
ton of the State. The Fish Commission
ers contemplate, during the present shad
season, by means of artificial propagation,
adding largely to this species of food fish.
Past experience fully warrants this step,
as it has been highly encouraging, not only
as to supply, but as to the size and quality
= of the fish The work of the Fish Com
missioners of New Jersey has been very
successful and the results highly encourag-
ing and satisfactory.
CURE FOR "SALMoNED Docs Day.
ton, w. TT have lived on the North
Pacific Coast over twenty-five years, and
have lost several valuable dogs by their
eating salmon. AS to the reason why, l
offer no theory but l do know that a
small piece of healthy salmon will kill dog
as sure as a dose of strychnine, if nothing
is done for him. The Indians accustom
their dogs to it by feeding it in small pieces
when they are young. have tried almost
everything for cure, but never found any
thing that would do any good until about
a year ago, when my setter got "sal-
moned," and friend told me to give him
coal oil. l gave him an ounce to begin
with, and gave him about half dozen
doses. could see change for the better
from the first dose. In few days he was
all right. | have seen it tried several
times since. and never knew it to fail.
Any one having dog salmoned would
do well to try this. l believe it to be a
sure cure.-[F. NJ. P, in Forest and Stream.
