Such stuff may fill an aching void for the time 

 being, but there is no flesh producing substance 

 in it. The liver will disarrange the internals 

 and you may as well feed so much sponge as

Don't forget the bones. Dogs kept in ken-

 suckling or running with puppies. The mater-

 gnawing the bone is not to be depended on 

 and may give a too venturesome and confiding 

 puppy an ugly bite. 



Don't neglect ventilation in the kennels.

 nail a board the size of the aperture but slant-
