To the Editor of the "Nortu-Cuixs Dairy News."
Sir,—Will you kindly allow me space to reply briefly to the letter of Mr. Maguire regarding the Mokanshan deer shooting, (1), Mr. Maguire says he has yet to learn that the muntjac may carry young between the months of August and February. We have positive proof of this fact.
(2) He does not see any resemblance between the muntjac and the domestic goat. We stated that inasmuch as the muntjac is liable to be found carrying young during any of the—winter months it resembles the domestic goat. It does also in the number of young dropped, but that was not the point.
(3) We Mokanshan_ sportsmen do not admit ever having "unwittingly done that which is wrong" in shooting the muntjac during the summer, unless sportsmen who shoot the same deer during the winter are doing wrong.
T am, ete., H. Caste.
