“ —an abundance of hot nxiater at ewery hot n.vater faucet 
in the house. That’s the great advantage of having a 
Ruud Water Heater—the heater that automatically operates ^ 
^ itself. All you have to do is simply turn any hot water faucet 
for as much or as little hot water as you want. Think of it! 
The results of the 
are simply marvelous. There’s no heater in the world like it. 
The faucet starts the water flowing—the water starts the heater 
—the heater heats the water—the hot water reaches you in ten 
seconds and flows hot continuously while the faucet is open. 
Closing the faucet shuts off the gas, and your expense for 
fuel ceases. 
Easy to attach in your basement to pipes already installed. 
Our free hook explains it all. Write for it to-day.and

the animal will often constantly attempt 
to drink water from a pail or bucket if 
placed within its reach, but, owing to the 
paralysis of the throat muscles, swallow¬ 
ing is impossible. 
The idea is prevalent with many 
people that dogs are particularly liable 
to go mad during the so-called “dog 
days,” which extend from the first of 
July to the middle of August. These 
days are called “dog days” because they 
cover the period of time when the dog 
star Sirius is above the horizon with the 
sun; they have no connection with the 
dog. On account of the clemency of the 
weather dogs probably travel about 
during this season more than in winter, 
and hence are slightly more liable to 
infection. Statistics, however, as well 
as our own experience about this section 
of the country, show that the disease is 
present throughout the year, and seasons 
have very little if any influence.

TRAINING GAITED SADDLE HORSES 
Orofino, Idaho 
/^AN you give me the title of a good 
book on gaiting the saddle horse, 
i. e., teaching him to walk, single Joot, 
fox trot, canter, etc. 
If there is no book published giving 
such instructions, can you not give us 
some instructions in your very interesting 
and instructive magazine ? 
John W. Givens. 
There is no good book on the subject, 
nor have 1 ever seen an article on the 
subject that was lucid and enlightening. 
It has been so long since I owned or rode 
a gaited saddle horse, that is a horse 
trained in the five gaits, that I do not feel 
competent to formulate the instruction 
myself. But I have been fortunate in 
securing the promise of Mr. Mat. S. 
Cohen of Lexington, Ky., that he will 
send me an article on the subject. I 
hope to have this article for an early 
number of House and Garden. 
KENNEL PLANS 
Milwaukee, Wis. 
I am a reader of your publication 
House and Garden and the thought 
occurred to me that perhaps you were 
in a position to give me a little informa¬ 
tion regarding dog kennels. 
What I desire are kennels for five
