to 2 cents a loaf delivered within a 
distance of two hundred miles. Immedi¬ 
ately upon receipt it should be exposed to 
the sun, to prevent its greatest enemy, 
mold, from attacking it. 
Bones or hard dog cakes should be fed 
regularly. They are the dogs’ tooth brushes ; 
and, as with man, that part can not endure 
neglect. With a kennel cooking plant many 
variations of food can be prepared on short 
notice; and vegetables should be fed dur¬ 
ing all the seasons that they can be ob¬ 
tained. Notwithstanding the clamor against 
potatoes do not be afraid to add a few 
occasionally to the meal. They won’t hurt. 
About the most efficient worm preventa¬ 
tive around the kennel yard is buttermilk. 
Dogs should have it every day, if possible. 
Some kennels have found it a paying prop¬ 
osition to keep it standing around the yard 
for a considerable part of the day. The 
sourer it becomes, its potency increases in 
proportion. It is a wonderful stomach 
tonic, and no doubt prevents the inroads 
of intestinal parasites to a marked degree. 
HANDLING LOADED GUNS 
The fundamental rule in the handling of 
loaded firearms, which, if observed by all, 
would prevent hundreds of casualties 
every year is simply: Don’t point the muz¬ 
zle of the firearm toward another person, 
irrespective of whether the gun is loaded 
or empty. In other words, don’t do it. 
Get this well fixed in your own mind and 
impress it upon the mind of every boy and 
man with whom you associate. 
Today guns of American manufacture 
are well built; not one gun in a million 
will burst with the standard factory charge 
except from carelessness in allowing the 
muzzle to become clogged with mud, or 
when used in a double-barrel gun, the con¬ 
cussion of the discharge of the first load 
may loosen the wad in the other barrel, 
which may lodge in the choke of the bar¬ 
rel. Don’t buy cheap ammunition, and 
don’t experiment with modern powders— 
the loading companies will do that for you, 
it is their business to do so. 
The man who shoots at an object with¬ 
out being absolutely sure of the character 
of that object should be declared “ non com¬ 
pos mentis.” He is a menace to public 
safety and needs a guardian. 
Before entering the house or camp and 
before climbing into a vehicle, remove the 
shells from your gun. In crossing over a 
fence, if you don’t remove the shells first, 
lay the gun on the ground lengthwise to 
the post. In this way the gun is never 
pointed toward you in laying it down or 
picking it up. 
If you sit down to rest or for lunch, 
don’t stand a loaded gun against a tree or 
a vehicle. Take the loads out of the cham¬ 
bers. 
Keep an eye on your companion. If he 
is careless and takes umbrage at your fears, 
shun him as you would a plague and get a 
new shooting companion. 
MAGAZINES RIFLES ON GAME 
Fire every shot from a magazine rifle 
with as much care as if it were your last 
ball. Fast “pumping” never succeeds so 
well as careful aiming, and it tends to 
carelessness.

ing disease, there is nothing to 
equal them. PRICE, PER BOX,
