Care of Animals in Sum

The American humane association pre-
sents the following suggestions relative
to the care Of animals during the heated
term:
Provide water-fresh, pure water.
Think, reader, how you are refreshed by
a drink OF cool water on hot day. The
lower animals are equally in need Of the
means Of quenching thirst.
The active dog requires drink fire.
quently during the hot day, as does also
the cat; and dish Of fresh water should
stand where they can have access to 1t.
Undoubtedly many dog Is driven to
madness through lack of water; and the
testimony is that hydrophobla Is almost
unknown in those localities where dogs
can drink when they wish.
Every. city, village and country town
should be literally supplied with drink
ing fountains for animals, and they
should be so constructed that even the
smallest dogs can drink from them. No
gift to people confers greater pleas
ure than a fountain, and that person who
turns aside a stream from the field and
gives watering trough to the roadside,
or provides fountain at which man and
beast can drink pure water, is truly a
public benefactor.
Give the horse frequent opportunity
to Quench thirst at times when not too
much over-heated, and before eating.
To drink freely Immediately after eat
ing prevents a favorable digestion OF
food.
Provide shade. How instinctively we
seek the shadow when the sun is pour
ing its hot rays on the dry and parching-
earth. If the pasture is not provided
with shade trees, In q convenient lOcali-
ty set four, six or eight supports, across
which place straw or grass, and thus, in
brief time and with little labor make a
shade in which animals can rest from
the heat Of the sun, to the great comfort
OF themselves and benefit to their own
ers.
Remove the harness from the horses
In the hot day whenever you desire to
give them full, free rest, and once dur
ing the day, preferably at night, a
thorough currying and grooming will
do about as much towards improving
the animals condition as will the oats.
Examine the harness on your working
team, and you will discover that blinds,
check-reins and cruppers are simply tor
turing cOntrivances, serving no useful
purpose. Take them all oil for the CON-
venience Of yourself and the comfort of
the horses. Keep the stable well venti-
lated and free from the strong ammonia,
which Is injurious to the eyes. Assist
the animals to protect themselves against
flies, feed regularly, hitch In the shade,
and remember that the care which will
give comfort to the lower animals will
make them doubly profitable to their
owners, aside from the humane bearing
upon the subject.

Of an artist in landscape and portraits.
By the way, 1t has not been known in

as an artist, but such is nevertheless the
case, the gentleman preferring. how

to follow this line of art without detrf-
ment to his duties. Some Of the pretti-
