COCKER S MANUAL. Ill the parts affected with salt butter. Give butter rolled into a pill the size of a marble; this tends to remove the blood and feathers in the throat, and serves as a slight physic. For a few days only food of a soft nature should be given; also a small quantity of nitre should be placed in the drinking water. Where fowls, either old or young, have been badly injured in the pit the closest attention is necessary. If the injury occurs in the winter season, warm quarters must be provided to avoid taking cold. As a general thing fowls injured with the steels more readily recuperate than those torn with the naked spur. The day after fighting ;give the fowl a feed of bread and milk, warmed. The blood and feathers in the throat and mouth should be removed, and a few drops of wine given as stimulant. If fever is prevented from making its appearance the fowl can cafely be placed on the walk in a few days. It is not advisable, however, to place the cock on his walk after battle, during cold weather, as he is liable to take more cold, which usually results in his TARTAR GAME Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Gray, F.
