cially young ones. The collar not only leaves 

 an unsightly ring or mark on the hair around 

 the neck, but the frequent struggling and pull- 

 ing on the chain pulls the shoulders and legs 

 out of shape and affects the proper develop- 

 ment of other parts of the body. 



If you have a hound that can scale the ken- 

 nel fence do not chain but clog him, making 

 sure that the clog is heavy enough to prevent 

 him hanging himself. A round cast-iron ball 

 of about fifteen pounds weight will allow him 

 plenty of freedom of movement. A wire 

 stretched across the yard, with ring and chain 

 attached, will allow such a hound ample exer- 

 cise.
