They do not have to be trained to eat it 
as they do many other dog foods. They 
take to it as naturally as ducks do to 
water. 
THEY LIKE IT — and there’s a reason. 
It makes them feel good, summer and 
winter, builds good bone and muscle and 
makes a sleek coat.

TYPEWRITER 
( BALL-BEARING , LONG-WEARING) 
The new Model Five includes every practical device and 
convenience the operator can require—all inbuilt as in¬ 
tegral parts of the machine itself. 
You will be delighted with its compact completenesi. The 
ball-bearings throughout permit adjustments close enough 
(while still perfectly free-running) to eliminate all play 
and mechanical rattle. An increased volume of work, at 
least effort, is assured by the light, smooth touch and 
snappy action which does not Ere the operator’s Ungers. 
Even though “hard to suit” this newest model cannot 
fail to impress you. For the work you want of a type¬ 
writer it is without an equal. 
You should read our “Story of the Ball-Bearings/’ which 
explains just why the L. C. Smith &■ Bros. Typewriter is 
the high-efficiency writing machine. Write for literature.

The Borzoi, or “ Russian Wolf¬ 
hound” 
Observations on Borzoi. By Joseph 
B. Thomas. 8vo. Illustrated. Pp. 120. 
Boston; Houghton Mifflin Co. $1.25 net. 
‘‘There does appear to be a lamentable 
amount of ignorance,” writes Mr. Thomas 
in this excellent little volume, “concern¬ 
ing the history and uses of the Borzoi, 
which is the more surprising in view of 
the antiquity of the breed and its presence 
in many corners of the world, largely on 
account of its extraordinary beauty. 
“I prefer to use the Russian name 
“Borzoi,” meaning swift, rather than the 
term used in America, “Russian Wolf¬ 
hound. ’ The word “Borzoi” means swift, 
light, agile, and is the exact equivalent 
of the German Windhund, the French lev- 
rier, the English greyhound. . . .” 
The author goes on to tell of the Bor¬ 
zoi’s development as a breed, the history 
of coursing in Russia, and the introduc¬ 
tion of these dogs into America, ending 
with a chapter which throws much valu¬ 
able light on their care. “Mature hounds,” 
he writes, “require no heat (in the ken¬ 
nel). In every case great care should be 
paid to cleanliness and freedom from 
damp. 
“The novice invariably seems to think 
that Borzoi require some different food 
from the ordinary dog, but such is not 
the case; so, for his instruction, the many 
books containing suggestions on the sub¬ 
ject of feeding and the care of the skin 
and coat will be found valuable. I have 
found, however, that corn meal seems to 
cause Borzoi to shed their coats, so that 
its use in connection with show dogs is 
inadvisable. . . . 
“Young dogs may be fed bread and 
milk twice each day, and cooked meat at 
night, with a fresh bone now and then. 
Water should always be convenient. No 
puppy or grown dog should be fed more 
than he can eat with relish, and food 
should not be left standing about. Worms 
cause much sickness and always occur 
in young dogs of all breeds. There are 
many good worm medicines which should 
be used about once a month. The surest 
indication of a puppy being ill is his re¬ 
fusal to eat. . . . 
“If one imagines the condition under 
which the young fox or the young wolf is 
raised and acts accordingly, — not forget¬ 
ting, however, that the puppy needs his 
meals more regularly than the wild 
animals need theirs, — his success will be 
assured. 
“He (the Borzoi) is a companionable 
dog par excellence, but is strictly what I 
should term a one-man dog; and I have 
never recommended the ownership of one 
to the man who expects to delegate his 
care to others. He must, like all other 
dogs, be brought up for the purpose for 
which he is intended ; but properly train¬ 
ed and educated, he will be found as com¬ 
panionable as the best — no fonder of fight¬ 
ing than the deerhound, faithful as the 
collie, and more picturesque than either.”
