DOWN CHARGE! and " to shot"; that is, when a bird rises, and when the gun is fired, and with young- dogs the latter at least should always be insisted upon. As they grow older and stancher, I should be satisfied if they came to heel when I fired. There are times when it is positive cruelty to compel a dog to drop to shot, particularly in the case of pointers on wet snipe meadows. It is the English custom not to break dogs until they are a year old. We begin much earlier, and a puppy is generally sent to the breaker at six months. I think much should depend upon the disposition of the dog. If possible, you should house or yard-break your dogs; diat is, teach them to drop or " charge" at command, to come in. to obey the whistle, to stop, and, if , to retrieve, before sending them to the breaker. Many prefer puppies born in the fidl, as in the spring they can be broken on snipe, and some shcjoting can be had over them in the fall. I believe, however, that fall puppies are much more difficult to rear, from the fact of their being likely to be to cold and wet; in winter, too, they can get no grass, the corrective provided by nature for all canine ills, and one which should always be within their reach. The puppy should also be accustomed to the report of fire-arms. il 'I 11 t HI \\\ ' \ i' m m m.
