THE BOSTON TERRIER 61 



In regard to feeding the pups after weaning, 

 it will be found an excellent plan to feed until 

 ten weeks old four times a day, from that 

 age until six months old, three times daily, and 

 from that age until maturity, twice daily. I 

 think a good drink of milk once a day excellent, 

 and where there are enough fresh table scraps 

 left to feed the pups, nothing better can be 

 given. Where the number of dogs kept is too 

 numerous to be supplied in this way, then a 

 good meal of puppy buscuits in the morning, 

 a good meal of meat (fresh butcher's trimmings, 

 not too fat, bought daily) with vegetables at 

 noon and at night well cooked oatmeal or rice 

 with milk makes an excellent safe diet. Good, 

 large bones with some meat on are always in 

 order, as all dogs crave, and I think ought to 

 have, some meat raw. Be careful not to over 

 feed, and above all do not give the dogs sweets. 

 When a puppy is delicate or a shy feeder, an 

 egg beaten up in milk forms an excellent change, 

 and good fresh beef or lamb minced up will 

 tempt the most delicate appetite. Give the pup- 

 pies a chance to get out on the fresh grass and 

 see what Dr. Green will do for them. Above all 

 see that they always have free access to pure, 

 cool water.
