Dogs
By Peter Boqqs

Perhaps you thought that a
bloodhound, in tracking, sticks his
nose close to the ground in the
very footsteps of the man he has
been set to trial Actually, blood
hounds do nothing of the sort.
They run. often. far to one side
of a fugitive's tracks. This, in
order to take full advantage of
such wind as may watt the scent.
Sometimes they are more than 40
yards to one or another side of
the actual trail. yet ever keeping
on its course. The hounds owner
or trainer realizes this and makes
due allowance.
This is but one of the many
countless things most people don't
know about bloodhounds. For CEN
Ituries they were supposed to
be murderously ferocious brutes
whose chief idea Of a pleasant
evening was to run down some
fugitive and then to tear him to
pieces. AS a matter of fact, the
average bloodhound is gentle and
friendly. True. he is a genius at
tracking. But, when he catches
up with his human prey. he is
much more likely to fraternize
with such a person than to attack
him.
During the time of King Richard
II of England, in 1899, there was
law ruling that mo layman with
out lands to the value of 40 pounds
a year, nor any priest nor clerk,
| if he be not advanced to the value
Iof 10. pounds q year, shall keep
Igreyhounds, hounds, nor any other
dog to hunt; under pain of one
years Imprisonment"
The published reason for this
latter law was that "dogs do great
damage in parks and forests, while
their owners are at church"
@. I just purchased a young
Scottie pup. How old does he have
to be before I can enter him in q
dog show? ID. j. C. E.
| A. The dog must be at least 6
months of age before he can be
entered in regular dog show. He
is considered a puppy until he is
/ year of age.

We've just reviewed two new
books on fishing, both of which
we believe you will enjoy. The
first is "Fisherman's Spring" by
Roderick Haig Brown. It is
beautifully written.
The other is by William w.
Michael. DRY Fly Trout Fishing, 4"
and is most .thorough-going
treatise on the sport by a man
who has f1oated his flies in every
State that boasts a trout stream
for more than 40 years. It will
be appreciated by both tyro and
expert. The book covers every
step of dry-f1y fishing in a clear,
scientific manner.
Ducks Unlimited of Canada re-
ports water conditions in the
breeding areas are most encourag-
ing. Coupled with an upward
trend in waterfowl population
noted by the United States Fish

The Campfire of the Brother
hood of the jungle Cock will again
be held this year from May 1927
at Camp Airy above Thurmont,
Md. Each adult who attends must
sponsor a boy, either of his own
choosing or from an accredited
group sponsored by the Campfire
Committee. The overall cost of
man and boy is $40. The main
purpose of the brotherhood is for
each member to take boy fishing
at least once a year.
The campfire this year will be-
of particular interest because OF
the dedication of the Brotherhood
