 LTiON .vrTt'ii si'ATiNO.— New York, Jan. Kith. 

 i Stream of last week I corroborated the 

 i 'iir correspondents who spayed a bitch 

 which afterward gave birth to pups ; and you 



of the eggs might have descended]!' Lou 



in. This was impossible in my ease, as the 



;, only five months old at the time she was 



ipnyed. I have since presented the ease to Professors 



, homas, J. C. Datton and J. G. Curtis, and they 



, lat there must have been at Les 



ntary ovary. Professor Dal ton has notes of 



iv.i similar cases : one a eat and the other a bitch : the 



oly given birth to two litters of pups, 



ind more expected. Mark West. 



The supplementary ovary is of course quite possible, 



! tie demonstrated before accepted as fact. The 



authorities quoted are of course good only so far as a 



500<2 opinion is good. The crpierimentvni crucis is the 



Mily reliable evidence.

 ffir, SaattuO has adopted an admirable system whicli he 

 arefuhy carried out. The dogs are fed twice a day 

 i i. well-cooked mush of Indian meal with the ad- 

 [tiono [0 or IS per cent, of meat — which addition gives 

 the mush a gelatinous consistency ; different garden veg-

 add greatly to the collection.
