FEEDING 69 



A most excellent water trough can be made 

 of old galvanized range boilers by cutting a 

 four by twelve hole along the side in the center 

 and burying it upon its side, allowing the hole 

 to be flush with the surface of the ground. 

 It will hold about thirty gallons and the earth 

 will keep it at a proper temperature, and the 

 small opening will prevent the hounds from 

 soiling the water. By placing half the boiler 

 in either yard beneath the division fence and 

 making an opening in the boiler on each side 

 of the fence the one trough will serve both 

 yards. 



Where practicable, running water (unfortu- 

 nately seldom to be had) should be provided, 

 and a box trough arranged for them to bathe 

 and cool off in.
