Handling the Airedale 
Part II. 
FKEni.NG Puppies. —Feeding is as sim¬ 
ple .as lunisiug in the case of the “big¬ 
gest and best of the terriers.” They eat 
praetifally everything, and if they get 
any adequate exercise nearly everything 
agrees with them. They scarcely ever 
need dosing, and the fewer drugs given 
them the better. If necessary castor oil 
may be used; many dogs will lap it out 
of a saucer, but if there is trouble in ad¬ 
ministering it, should it become neces¬ 
sary. use the capsules. The females are 
generally good mothers, and take the best 
of care of their babies. When the time 
eomes to wean them, and of this you must 
Judge by the number and condition of the 
pups and the attention w’hich the mother 
gives them, they will do well on cow’s : 
milk, warmed, of course, but not hot. 
The hooks will tell you that cow’s milk 
eauses worms, hut this is sheer non¬ 
sense ; they take to it naturally and do 
well on it. The litters usually run from 
four to a dozen, perhaps sevp or eight 
would be a fair average, but if the num¬ 
ber is unusually large and it is desired to 
raise them all there is little difficulty in 
artificial feeding. Don’t use a nursing bejP 
tie; the nipple is too large and too stiff 
for the little mouths; the best thing is 
one of the small syringes made for use 
in the human ear It is made all in one 
piece in the form of a rubber ball with a 
long, liexible and very soft nozzle, made 
all in one piece w'ith the bulb. As the 
babies get older solids and semi-sjlids 
mav be introduced into their milk, crack- 
ersl stale bread and best of all, rice or 
oatmeal. Oatmeal, being especially rich 
in phosphates, is a splendid bone-builder, 
and prevents rickets. Then gradually 
they can be put on the diet of a mature 
dog, but, of course, going very light on 
meat, in fact none at all, except perhaps 
as they get it in broths and gravies, until 
five or six months old. 
Diet For Mature Dogs. —The mature 
dogs can be fed practically everything you 
eat vourself; don’t stick to one feed, but 
give'a little variety. Don’t give too much 
meat, give very little in the way of sweets, 
don’t feed heavil.v on potatoes, and above 
all, never give any poultry hones. A 
chicken bone will readily sliver into_ long 
splinters that sometimes pierce the intes¬ 
tines and cause an agonizing death. If 
you must purcha.se food, fresh bones, stale 
bread and skim-milk are all excellent, and 
have the merit of cheapness. Dog biscuits 
are good but expensive. Rice is an ex¬ 
cellent feed, especially if a dog’s digestion 
is a little upset and boiled with a little 
chopped liver or meat or with a few 
bones to give it a flavor dogs eat it greed¬ 
ily. Most of the cereals ai’e good, but 
eornmeal should not he fed in any form 
to excess, especially in hot weather, as it 
is apt to cause skin irritation. Needless 
to say all a dog's feed should he fre.sh, 
clean and cold. 
Time op Feeding. —As for the fre¬ 
quency of feeding much depends on the 
habits of the dog and the exercise he gets. 
Closely confined or kept in the city, once a 
day is enough, but if running all the time 
he should be fed oftener. My ov.’ii dogs 
ai’e busy every minute. If a dog must 
superintend the bringing in of the cows, 
see them milked, trot over to the station 
ahead of the milk wagon and then get 
back to the farm in time to make his 
thorough inspection of every wood¬ 
chuck and rabbit hole before din¬ 
ner. it means a pretty full morn¬ 
ing. Then in the afternoon these holes 
must be examined again, the teams 
escorted to w’ork, and the cows_ brought 
in again. Even if once in a while a few 
minutes can be stolen for a nap on the 
front porch or a swim if the weather is 
warm, such a dog has a pretty busy day. 
and is entitled to three meals a day, but 
don’t let him get fat, and keep him away 
from the kitchen stove. 
Breeding. —The proper age for breed¬ 
ing depends entirely on the individual. It 
is generally best to wait until a year old, 
but the Airedale, if living out of doors 
and getting plenty of exercise, matures 
early and sometimes can be bred a little 
younger if big and strong and healthy. 
Usually too it is safe to have tivo litters 
a year,' but not unless the female keeps in 
good condition. Of course, while carry¬ 
ing and nursing pups she should have 
good attention and plenty of food. When 
the time comes for whelping she will often 
disappear and make up a bed for her¬ 
self in some out-of-the-way place, but it 
is generally best to fix up quarters for 
her as far away from the other dogs and 
as secluded as possible; give her plenty 
of bedding, a pan of water and then leave_ 
her entirely alone. They practically' 
never need help. After the babies come 
leave them alone and don’t handle them 
or bother them, although it may be well 
to pet the mother again once in a while 
to keep her confidence, for often the best- 
tempered of dogs will be uncertain in dis¬ 
position when her first babies come. 
Don’t let strangers annoy or frighten her. 
The period of gestation is nine weeks, and 
the pups generally begin to open their 
eyes on about the ninth day.
