Kenfiel arid Exercise. 6i 



day. This is imperative if you would have 

 a healthy, vigorous animal. A dog should 

 never be kept on chain ; but if this is un- 

 avoidable, you can overcome a portion of 

 its disadvantages by stretching a long wire 

 — overhead, to be out of the way — between 

 two posts or trees, and attaching the chain 

 to a ring that will slide on the wire, thus 

 giving him exercise and a partial relief from 

 heart-breaking confinement. 



Pure air and sunlioht are of the orreatest 

 importance ; in fact, they are indispensable 

 to the health of most animals, and too 

 much stress cannot be eiven to the neces- 

 sity of rearing your puppy where he can 

 have plenty of the former at all times, and 

 at least two or three hours of the latter 

 every bright day. It is true that many 

 animals live in apparent health when sur- 

 rounded by noxious odors and deprived of 

 sunlight, but in such cases disease sooner 

 or later generally overtakes even the most 

 hardy and vigorous specimens.
