FOOD FOR PUPPIES. 

 Y" OUIl corrcs])ondent, "O. W, It.," is sufficiently explicit as 

 1. to the manner in which he fed his puppy, to" enable me 

 to point out just where, in my opinion, he took a wrong 

 course. lie started with a lix-d belief that his puppy was "a 

 y delicate piece of handiwork,"" and tliis inevitably led 

 xiety concerning the health of the 

 .n-t.-mt watchfulness to discern the

"O. V.'. I-;. " fed his six- weeks-old puppy on "boiled cow's 

 milk, on broth, on puddings ,corti and oatmeal)" etc. The 

 effect of boiled cow's milk upon the bowels is well known 

 and is directly opposite what I consider a beneficial habit in 

 the puppy. Do not boil the milk, or even heat it beyond a 

 point sufficient to take off the chill. Omit the broth entirelv 

 if by the word a meat broth is meant. Cook corn and oat- 

 meal mush thoroughly, boil, mash and mix into the mush a 

 few potatoes. Stir mush and milk well together. If this is 

 not done the puppy will form a habit of drinking the milk 

 and ignoringthe mush. 



Give the puppy daily all the thick sour milk he will eat 

 This last I consider very important. Do not stuff him witli 

 mash and then offer him the sour milk, but mix the two or 

 batter-stall, give him the thick milk alone before his regular 

 breakfast. \\ onus will appear long enough for the longest 

 l.arm name that scientific minds ran invent, but there is no 

 occasion to worry, and above all things do not give any 



'''"••re will be days when the puppy will eat little, or perhaps

leat. Let him alone : he will come
