his throat at the base and on top of his 
tongue. Now close his jaws, hold them 
so with the left hand, and rub his throat 
up and down with the right. This will 
cause an involuntary gulp or two, and 
down goes the dose. 
In all cases of administering medicine 
the dog’s head must be held firmly to pre¬ 
vent his jerking away. A few remedies 
are so prepared that a dog will swallow 
them for the pleasure of it, but the great 
majority of standard medicines are dis¬ 
tasteful and must be given against the 
patient’s will. —Robert S. Lemmon. 
The Practical Book of Outdoor Rose 
Growing. By George C. Thomas, Jr. 
J. B. Lippincott & Co. $4.00. 
The. trouble with many of the so-called 
“practical" books is they are practical only 
to those who have a knowledge of the sub¬ 
ject aforehand. But in this large volume 
by Mr. Thomas the story of the rose and 
its culture, is so simply handled that it 
proves a mine of information for both the 
informed and the novice. There are 
numberless half-tone and color reproduc¬ 
tions—the latter remarkable work—that 
serve both to make the volume sumptuous 
and the reader envious. The arrange¬ 
ment of information is best shown bv the 
■chapter heads: “The Propagation of 
Roses,” “The Best Varieties, with Their 
Characteristics,” “Climbers,” “Location 
and . Preparation,” “Ordering,” “Plant¬ 
ing,” “Pruning,” “Cultivation,” “Some 
General Information and Plints on Hy¬ 
bridization, and “Index. For those 
who wish to pursue further the study of 
the rose, the author gives the names of 
■other authorities on the subject, and the 
dealers in the various varieties. It is dif¬ 
ficult, indeed, in so short a space to give 
appreciation of any one part of the book; 
though mention must be made of the sane 
way Mr. Thomas has selected his “Six¬ 
teen Best All-Round Roses.”
