The Dog’s Ration 
T) ROBABLY nine out of ten people 
A who purchase a dog know little or 
nothing about his proper feeding. One 
thing that complicates matters is that the 
dog’s food supply must be governed both 
in character and in quantity by the parti¬ 
cular breed chosen. It is impossible, of 
course, to go so deeply here into the mat¬ 
ter as to name the proper ration for each 
of the more common breeds. It might be 
helpful, however, to mention a few of the 
fundamental principles in all cases. 
One good meal a day, served prefer¬ 
ably in the evening, is sufficient for an 
adult dog if a dry dog-biscuit is given for 
breakfast, with perhaps a large bone to 
gnaw. Have a supply of clean, cold water 
within the dog’s reach in all weathers — a 
requirement that is far too often neglected. 
Some authorities advocate an occasional 
drink of milk, colored with tea. Goat's 
milk, it may be interesting to know, is 
particularly suitable for the dog; some of 
the English breeders maintain goats about 
the kennels in order to have a supply. 
It is an exploded theory that a meat 
diet brings on eczema and other skin trou¬ 
bles ; in fact, the contrary is the case. The 
dog is by nature a carnivorous animal, and 
wholesome flesh, either cooked or raw, 
should form the main part of his diet. A 
little liver given occasionally is an aperient 
food which most dogs relish. When it 
can be afforded — and when a household 
has but one or two pets the expense is of 
little consequence—butchers’ meat is with¬ 
out question the proper food. Oatmeal, 
porridge, rice, barley, linseed meal and 
bone meal should be only occasional ad¬ 
ditions to the usual meat diet, and these 
are not necessary when dog-biscuits are 
regularly supplied. There is no harm in 
giving well boiled green vegetables, such 
as cabbage, turnip-tops, etc., mixed with 
meat; potatoes are of doubtful value. 
There are many advertised dog foods, 
some of which are excellent, but as a gen¬ 
eral rule, it will be found more convenient 
in the average household to stick by the 
old-fashioned and wholesome diet sug¬ 
gested above. 
Sickly dogs require invalids’ treat¬ 
ment, of course, but if you start with a 
dog having a sound constitution there is 
no reason why he should not thrive with 
proper kennel accommodations, a moder¬ 
ate amount of food and plenty of exercise.

A Suggestion for the Invalid Puppy 
If your puppy is clearly out of sort, or 
listless, try a worm expeller on general 
principles. Worms are the ban of puppy- 
hood. You can obtain these vermifuges 
at any dog supply store. When giving 
medicine in liquid form, such as castor 
oil, pour the liquid into the mouth through 
the space behind the teeth, grip his muzzle 
for a moment to check his breathing when 
the medicine will be gulped down. It is 
easier to administer in capsule form, se¬ 
creting the capsule in a dainty tid-bit.
