How to chiife a Dog and Bitch for good Tfljelps. 

 Take care they be of a good Kind, large Ribs and Flanks, and well pro- 

 poriion'd. A young Dog and old Bitch bring the belt Whelps, and the 

 Third Litter is accounted bell. 'Tis faid January, February, and Marchy 

 are the beft times for them to be lined -, and if they couple when the 

 Moon is in Gerfiini, or Aquarius, you will have more Dogs than Bitches, 

 and they will never run Mad : At two Months end you ought to wean 

 them, and not Hunt them till a Year and an half old at leaft. There are 

 alio Dogs of Pleafure, as, The Shepherd's Majlijf for watching his Flock, 

 and the Ban Dog, for Bull, Bear, and Guarding the Houle. If the Shepherd 

 would have his Dog fierce, pull them oft by the Ears, and fet them to 

 fight, tho' not hurt •, tie them fometime to a Clog^ let him loofe at Night, 

 and keep him ty'd up of Days. This makes him wakeful at Night, and 

 fleepy in the Day. Let not Shepherds fufFer their Dogs to eat deadSheep, 

 for fear they come to eat the Living. Cut their Tails at Seven Weeks 

 old. When young, a little Worm is fubje£l to breed under their Tongues, 

 that makes them bark much ; take it out with an Awl, and it prevents 

 their growing Mad. 



For a Mangy Dog, Take Quick-filver, Verdigreale, Wool) Oil, Brim= 

 ftone Powder j mix all together, and anoint the place.
