THE CARE OF DOGS: 



Do not allow other dogs or strangers to disturb the fe- 

 male until the puppies are at least three weeks old. Never 

 feed grown dogs and puppies together ; start to feed puppies 

 at three week's old, buttermilk twice a day, morning and 

 evening; this will clean their stomachs of worms. Leave 

 the mother with them until they are at least five weeks old ; 

 then, for her own health, as well as for the health of the 

 puppies, allow her to stay with them one hour a day for one 

 more week, then feed twice a day, buttermilk or beef broth 

 with bread crumbs (corn bread is best), little strips of raw 

 lean meat is good twice a week, but very little until they aiv 

 past four months old, at which time they will get their sec- 

 ond teeth and can masticate more substantial food and will 

 grow strong. Avoid sweet stuff, fresh milk or meat, as it 

 has a tendency to produce worms. 



Be sure to see that your kennels are well ventilated; 

 if possible, have running water, at any rate a goodly supply 

 of fresh water at all times. Disinfect thoroughly at least 

 once a week. If nature does not provide it, have a good ar- 

 tificial shade and a perfectly dry kennel in damp and cool 

 weather. Feed grown dogs not more than once a day, corn- 

 bread and table-scraps as a mixed diet. Best of all, corn 

 meal and middlings with well cooked meat and soup, baked 

 to a pone oV mush. Dogs will eat this substance readily and 

 it keeps them in perfect health. Exercise or work on game, 

 if possible, at least once a day. To prevent fleas, and for 

 mange and for all forms of skin diseases, use one part creo- 

 line to 100 parts of water, ancj dip dog, head and all. For 

 cankered ear, saturated solution of boracic acid. Massage 

 or rub thoroughly. For distemper, allow the dog his liberty 

 and give him all the raw eggs and fresh milk he will eat. 

 Give him a good dose of castor oil about twice a week.
