122 THE FOXHOUND 



from diarrhea. Feed starchy foods and rice 

 water. A good stiff gruel of Hour and water 

 will stop the complaint in its early stages. 



Don't allow the kennel yards to become lit- 

 tered with manure. Besides being unhealthy 

 and a source of worms, the manure is a salable 

 commodity and should be regularly taken up, 

 dried, and sold to the morocco leather dress- 

 ers. The bones that accumulate around a ken- 

 nel can also be disposed of. All these little 

 things count in the conduct of a large kennel. 



Don't feed scraps from the table without 

 carefully looking them over before doing so. 

 In the dog's eagerness after dainties he may 

 swallow a hidden fish bone, chicken bone, 

 splinter, or other pointed substance that may 

 cause trouble afterward. 



Don't feed highly seasoned messes that 

 come from the table just because they are 

 handy and the dog will eat them. It will cost 

 you less in the long run to feed sound, whole- 

 some dog food. 



Don't use the whip for every mistake your 

 dog makes. Dogs are not like lions in a cage 

 to be subdued by a show of force. Talk to 

 the dog and prove to him by action and expres- 

 sion that he has done wrong. A dog follows 

 his master's expression more than the lash.
