 come thoroughly acepiainted witli the individual constitut 

 habits and peculiarities of hks cliarges; he must learn to del 

 tect the slightest change in spirits, appetite, coat, temperti-

 ture and nuMsl lire of nose; attitude while at rest; gait and 

 carriage ; condition of bowels ; odor of tlic breath before eat- 

 ing, etc., etc. ; for they all have their several distinct mean- 

 ings, and the old proverb about '-au ounce of prevention'' 

 was never more truthful than when applied to llic care of 

 dogs. 



The lk.st thing in order is a suitable, kennel upon a desira- 

 able site. As I have carried out my idea of sunh a, kennel at 

 Lakcview, it m;ty serve our purpose 10 describe it ; 



L.akeview stands upon an elevation on the western border 

 of an irregular lake two miles long, and vaiying in iviillli . ._ 



from one hundred yards to somewhat more than a qtuutcr of , chloral 

 a mile, and skirted by trees, buslies and a sand}' b(..icli. j ihlorof 

 Bomided on the south by corn-fields and clovei-, on "tiie westj began 

 by a public road to Dover, and on the north by :t cenieiery 

 ■whose northem and eastern l.ionndaries are water's of the; lake. 

 This, you will observe, gives it the desirable isolation an.l jiri- 

 vacy. 



Ill the cenU'e of the farm is the main kemiel, a fr.ime build- 

 ing with peaked roof, built upon a brick foundation 3 feet 

 above the gromid, and having beneath a basement cidlar (i 

 feet deep. " The building is 30 feet long ty 13i feet witle, aud 

 16 feet to the eaves of the roof ; over the "sleeping rooms and 

 miming the entire length of the kennel is a loft," tor liedding 

 aud apparatus used in training, etc. The .sleeping apart meiit 

 is provided with a slatted bench, ten inches above Ihi- floor, 

 for eaeli dog. These benches are kept supplied witli more 

 or less fresh .straw to suit the seasons, tml are kojn, cnlindy 

 bare iu very hot weather or when fleas attcni]rt an inv;ision. 

 Two Ittrge "doors (one on either sidej and a trap-door in the 

 ceiling through which air is conducted to tha' loft Aviudo->v, 

 are ample means of ventilation. 



Kcxt to the sleeping apartment is a doge room ventilated by 

 a crossed-baiTed door on one side and a fool, space open be- 

 tween partition and ceiling and into an entry on the other 

 side for bitches in season. Wires, of which' I shall spoak

These individual kennels or boxes will perhaps merit a de- 

 scription. They are made amply large and -with a double 

 pitched roof and a porchlike roof over the opening iu front. 

 The box is cut iu 1 wo, horizontally, a little ahovt the middle, 

 and made to slide the upper pari forward to admit any de- 

 gree of ventilation, and to shut perfccily close iu wet or cold 

 weather. The bottom is made separate, aud may be removed 

 for cleaning by lifting off the top. It, is mounted on two 

 pieces of 4x4 in', timber which keeps it dry and prevents its 

 rotting. The whole arrangemeut is exceedingly simple and 

 can be made by any person who is " handy with tools :" be- 

 sides it is so convenient to take apart, notlung being fastened 

 by nail, screw, bolt or peg, aad scrubbed aud whitewashed 

 inside and out. 



Ketaoved at a safe distance are other " private boxes " to 

 be used for sick, exceedingly quarrelsome or fierce dogs. All

 md Ittieum lam happ3 to aj that the notice of my dog 

 having been stolen that you were kind enough to piilillrli i' 1 

 me, has borne fruit, and I have recovered her. By gti ' 1. 

 she had within a few d:iys fallen into the hands 1 , .i 

 Bruce, of Providence, R. I., a fehow sportsman and a g.L.jL 

 man, who, on reading the uoticc of her descriprion, recogmzed 

 her and telegraphed To me at once. Why would not such 110- 

 tices form a legimate aud a very useful source of inecime to 

 your paper as advertisements? Everybody might not be as 

 lucky as I have been, but if any dog, a sporting one esprcially, 

 that had been stolen, were advertised by you. the chances uf 

 dog thieves selling their prey would he greatly lessened, and 

 they might (hid the business I'ess profitable. F. 



V\'e commend the -wisdom of our correspondent's com'se 

 iu advertising his lost dog in the Fokest axd Stream, and 

 congratulate him upon the happy result. For the present we 

 will gladly publish notices erf lost sporting dogs free of
