By JOHN c. MOSES

This weeks page on the dog covers the best-known beeds of the sporting dog femily-the Pointer and Setter. These two species have been before the public in different stages for many generations.
 The discussion on the merits of the diff ferent strains Is wide. and of course own CTS of different breeds argue that their line is best. Everybody to his own opin- ion. The writer brings the Pointer and Setter down through the years of their development until we reach the present day speed kings and field trial winners. We trace the pointer back to where he has a strain of hound blood injected into his veins, and the Setter where he comes from the Spaniel family. At any rate, the development uf these two breeds has about reached perfection. The different crosses have increased the speed and injected stamina, until we now have all-day hunters and tireless field trial specimens.
 The writer also goes thoroughly into the tw 0 troublesome diseases of all dogs Eczema and Mange. They are both com plex and mean to handle and should be taken into hand at the first signs.

The Pit Bull

A discussion is now on among the dif- ferent fanciers over the prefix cham pion" to the Pit Bull Terrier. This breed is in line with the English Bull Terrier. but unlike the latter it has not been breed for the pure white features and show type. Thus the argument IS to what grounds shall constitute a champion
 Of course. their business is fighting, ard it seems that after a dog has won SO rlany battles he deserves prefix to dis tinguish him from has beens." There are different weights in this fighting class the lightweight and heavyweight. There being no recognized head to the Pit Bull Terrier fancy, any man who owns dog which is the bully of his town may dub his dog a "champion." Consequently the prefix is of little value. This shows the need Of organization in this class. The breeders and owners of these dogs formed an association some years ago, but being,
 like the dogs they owned. very pug nacious., they did not dwell together in peace. A good start was made. however. and the dog was elevated considerably in the estimation of the general public. who had regarded him merely as a brutal fighting machine. The dogs true worth as a companion and guard dog of su- pi cpe quality was brought prominently forward, a better class of fanciers be- came interested in the breed and an ex- ceedingly bright future was rapidly de- veloping for the dog. In keeping with all progressive undertakings and improve ments, after the stride ahead, came step backward, but with a permanent footing considerably in advance of the old position. Some shows have classes for the Pit Bull Terriers and some others classify him as Bull Terriers other than White It is now time for the fanciers of tbis breed to reorganize and advance and make champion stand for some thing with the Pit Bull Terrier. The Thomson Kennels, Houston, Tex, is one of the leaders in this breed.

produce a Pointer that could equal or outclass the Setter" set apart to do this. and for the purpose he combined the blood of the three great Pointer families. Rip Rap, Graphic and lingo, and the product was Fisheps Frank. This dog ended a very successful career in the field trial world by a remarkable per formance in the National championship at Grand Junction. Tenn, in January. 1908. A LleWellyn Setter Count White stone II, was awarded the championship, but from the decision of the judges there sprung a sharp controversy. Whether right or wrong, many contended that Fishers Frank fairly won the stake, oth- CTS to the contrary. The leader for Fishel's Frank in this controversy was Judge Zell Gaston of Birmingham, and l may say without fear of contradiction. that the pen of this gentleman in the sporting papers of that period, probably did more to bring the dog before the pub lie than any other one cause. From that time on, Fishels Frank became the pop ular Pointer sire of America, and his get have left an impress on field trial his- tory for all time. While he produced many great sons, especially when bred to the daughters of Affords John and Hard Cash, I might mention the fact that one. John Proctor has to his credit four championships, a feat accomplished by no other dog-either Pointer or Setter. So MT. Fishe accomplished his lifes desire. What Dexter and others did for the Pointer in earlier days in producing Rip Rap and lingo. that successfully com peted with the great Setters of that time, Fishel has done in this generation in producing not only the Pointer but the sire of Pointers that have competed with and won over the great Setters of this day.
 And in conclusion. who will be the next to grasp the opportunity and take the blood first combined by Dexter. McMur- do and Perkins. and made to equal the greatest dogs of the world. afterward utilized by Fishel. and made to eclipse all former records. and carry same along abreast of all other breeds. and make the Pointers continue to shine among the brightest stars in the field trial f1rma- ment?

Time to Give Medicine


 The question often is put to the writer by persons seeking advice as to the nedi- cinal treatment of their dogs, whether medicine is best given before food or after food. We generally recommend all medicine to be given several hours before Ieeoing' Tor this reason: That when the dog stomach is empty, absorption into the system takes place more speedily. and so to speak. more thoroughly, than would be the case when tho stomach Is loaded with food. The medicine given in this way has an opportunity of acting. whereas if 1t be given just after a meal It becomes intermingled with that food. and its action is not likely to be 90 spon- taneous as in the other case. This. of course, Is merely an expression of our own opinion. and we arc quite aware of the tact that some medicines must be gwen after meals-such, for instance as remedies for indigestion. In this case a medicine Is given after food very often to prevent the contents of the stomach from turning acid, or it may be to assist the digestive juices in their work. as when pepsin is ordered by a veterinary practluoner to be given to small pet dogs. The proper thing to do in that case is to give 1t Immediately after the rood, so that the medicament Is distrib- uted among the digesting food, and so carries out the purpose for which 1t was intended. But, on the other hand, if you give medicine, we will say for the blood, the best plan is to give it before food. and by so doing insure its com plete and quick absorption into the sye- tenn.

Watch the Flea

The season of the lively flea will very soon be coming on, and we shall, of course. receive a number of inquiries from readers as to the best means of keep ing kennels clear of parasitic vermn. All experienced fanciers know how very necessary it is to keep the kennels clear of fleas in order that the dogs may be kept clear of worms, which are largely propagated from host to host through the agency of the lively flea. There are a large number of of insecticides on the market at the present day. all of which have some particular merit attaching to them, but apart from this we should like to emphasize the value of Immigration as the most effecti means of getting rid of small insects. most telling system of Immigration is to close up the kennel tightly and place inside it shovel upon which sulphur is burning. A few live coals on shovel will start sulphur burn ing rapidly. and the fumes from the sul- ing rapidly.
