Associated Specialty Shows of New York. 
The details of a scheme that has been in a 
process of evolution for the past year are now 
ready to announce. 
On Jan. 12 Messrs. John E. DeMund, W. If. 
Sawter, W. S. Gurnee, Jr., and A. D. Gillette for 
the Russian Wolfhound Club of America, the 
Boston Terrier Club of New York and the Bull¬ 
dog Bredeers’ Association of America, respec¬ 
tively. at Mr. Sawyer’s office organized the Asso¬ 
ciated Specialty Shows of New York, the plan 
and scope being similar to the organization that 
has proved so successful in Chicago for the past 
two years. 
The personnel of the association to date, and 
possibly the final one, includes the following 
dulls: The Russian Wolfhound Club of 
America; The Dachshund Club of America; 
'file Boston Terrier Club of New York; The 
Airedale Club of Long Island and The Bulldog 
Breeders’ Association of America. There is still 
a possibility of the Collie Club of America join- 
ing. 
The association will hold a one-day open show 
on May 4 at the Twelfth Regiment Armory, 
Sixty-second street and Columbus avenue, New 
York. George F. Foley, Lansdowne, Pa., will 
superintend and Spratts will bench. 
The premium lists go to press on April i and 
the entries close April 22. 
In effecting this organization due care has been 
given to keeping the identity of each club intact. 
Each club will cater to its own breed under sepa¬ 
rate and distinct bench show committees, the 
chairmen of each forming a committee in general 
charge. 
Each club’s license, classification, prize money 
and entry fees as well as specials, will be de¬ 
termined and offered separately, though all 
breeds will be included under cover of one cata¬ 
logue. 
Rearing Puppies. 
Rearing puppies successfully means that he 
who tries it must know the essentials of feeding 
and cleanliness. Cleanliness is far the most 
important. _ Dryness is the first thing to be 
considered in obtaining a perfect state of ken¬ 
nel sanitation. 
If one is a small breeder and has the choice 
of a number of places about the stable and 
premises for the rearing of a litter or two of 
good puppies, he can find a dry location in 
woodshed, haymow, basement, where there is 
plenty of light and air, or some other build¬ 
ing that will answer just as well. I have 
reared puppies in a cellar that was sunny and 
dry, keeping them there until time to get them 
on the grass and wean them from a rather frail 
little mother. This age was five weeks. 
It is a fine scheme to get the little fellows eat¬ 
ing as soon as they will lap up milk. Warmed 
skim mdk with a bit of sugar in it is just the 
thing. I he mother’s milk has a great amount 
of sugar in it, and it is from such nourishing 
food and the germs of filth that generally infest 
a brood matron’s nest, that the puppies sooner 
or later have worms and the chance of being 
carried away by them. 
When the puppies are whelped, be sure that 
the bitch is clean. Better bathe her well before 
they are born and start them right. If she Fas 
been brushed out nicely every day, her hair 
about the teats will not be loose enough for 
them to get into their little stomachs. Some 
heavy haired bitches should have the hair 
trimmed away from the nipples. I have known 
a whole litter tO' die of balls of hair in their 
stomachs. 
Be sure the bedding is clean for the matron 
before she whelps and at all times thereafter. 
If she lies down in a pool of urine-covered 
straw or hay, she gets these germs upon her 
mammary glands and the pups in turn take 
them into their stomachs. They breed worms. 
Dusty hay or straw or shavings are not good 
for the litter of puppies. Long swale grass or 
lye straw I have found to be the cleanest from 
dust and dirt. 
It will surprise one to know what different 
self-termed dog breeders use in the way of 
bedding. Once I was called out to the kennels 
of a breeder, or fancier, rather, who was just 
getting started in the game. He had used nice 
white sand for the bitch to whelp in, and she 
had plastered herself in it. The puppies had 
shoved themselves about in it until their noses 
were stuffed full and over half the litter had 
thus smothered. 
Some very successful breeders who can watch 
their matrons closely at whelping times use 
nothing on the floors, but have them clean and 
smooth. The matron sometiiiies decides this, 
too. If she is heavy and restless the smaller 
amount of bedding the better. If she is tried 
and true and one can bank on her to keep the 
puppies snuggled up to her, she can be allowed 
to whelp anywhere. 
Do not start the puppies eating too much at 
once. Let their feeding go ahead gradually. 
Do not have any pot-bellied ones among them, 
and see that all of them get their share. If they 
are gradually weaned they will leave the dam 
in much better shape and there will be no stop¬ 
page of their swift growth. I always give them 
a big dose of sulphur once each week. Put 
this in milk. It is good to use areca nut along 
with it. Use two teaspoons of sulphur and one 
of powdered areca nut for a litter of six setter 
or pointer puppies or like sized breeds. Mix 
it up in milk, and then after thoroughly assimi¬ 
lated by the liquid, stir into the pot of stale 
bread and milk which you feed them. 
Stale bread in milk is the fastest growing food 
I have been able to get for a first month’s 
feeding. Then I add soup bones and vegetables 
and gradually give them chopped meat. Too 
much food, especially of meat, will make them 
stick to one diet and refuse others. Vary it 
steadily. Three times a day will be about right 
for the average puppies until they are three 
months old. After this I feed twice a day and 
allow them the run of the place. If one had to 
fence them into a large lot, it is better to give 
them freedom this way than chain too early
