 substance and every article used as food, he now 

 adheres to one mode of feedhig ; and which mode, 

 from a very extensive experience, he recommends as 

 the most convenient, uniting nutriment with cleanly, 

 wholesome food, that will not give a disposition to 

 fouhiess. This feeding, it is to be observed, is pe- 

 cuHarly adapted for kenr.els, or where there are 

 large dogs to be fed. It consists in the tripe of 

 sheep, which is connnoniy called the paunches, which 

 being thoroughly well cleaned from filth, are then 

 boiled half an hour, or forty minutes, in a moderate 

 quantity of water. When taken from the water they 

 are hung up to cool, and the boiling liquor they 

 cante from is poured on bread raspings ; if possible, 

 of French bread. Tlie quantity of raspings should 

 be so regulated, that, when soaked and cold, the 

 mess may be of the consistence of an ordinary pud- 

 ding before boiling. The paunches, being now cold 

 should be cut uito tine pieces, and mixed with the 

 soaked raspings, and more or less of the mixture may 

 be given. The mixture, it is evident, nmy be made 

 to contain more or less animal matter by increasin"* 

 or lessening the proportion of paunch ; though the 

 author is disposed to think that tripe is, of all animal 

 substances, the purest food, and tends least of all 

 meat food to make a dog foul and gross. When it 

 IS intended or wished to make the mixture more 

 enticing, the otfal or intestines of chickens and other 

 fowl from the poulterers may be procured and 

 boiled with the tripe. Of all substances, the en- 

 trails of chickens is the one most eagerly sought 

 after by dogs, and it fattens them fastest.
