The Fox Terrier 
S EE this jolly little fox terrier. These 
dogs are usually white, but many have 
some tan or black spots. They are 
smooth-coated, and the nose is always black. 
In the old hunting days two fox terriers 
went along with the pack of hounds on a 
fox hunt, that the little dogs might dig out 
the foxes from the holes in the earth. All 
kinds of dogs like human beings, and adapt 
themselves to the human way of living better than any other animals do. 
This sort of dog is one of the best to have for a chum, for they are very 
intelligent. 
The Frog 
H AVE you ever seen this little crea¬ 
ture? If you live near a stream of 
water or a lake, you have heard 
him. He is the little fellow that croaks so 
loudly. You would think to hear him that 
he was big, but he is not. Look at his hind 
legs. You can tell, just by the way that 
they are drawn up, that he leaps instead of 
walking. The bull-frog of Canada and the 
United States leaps several feet. He is the largest of all the frogs and 
may be seven inches long. He croaks the loudest, too. 
The Ox 
D 
ID you ever hear a farmer hollaing “Gee! Haw!” to his yoke of 
oxen? He has to holla at them, and sometimes prod them with 
a stick called a “goad,” for the ox is such a large, heavy beast 
that he moves very slowly. A yoke of 
oxen is harder to drive than a span of plow 
horses would be. Yet for dragging very 
heavy loads through ground that is soft, 
the oxen would be much better than the 
plow horses. Throughout the world oxen 
have been the great helpers of man in clear¬ 
ing forests and dragging away stones, so 
that he might build him a home.
