Twenty years ago the business of
making dog biscuit was represented by
u small shop in Holborn, nearly oppo.
site Chanccry lane, and 4 weekly sale
of q couple OF tons, Now there is n
vast factory near London bridge and
another in New York, between which
is a daily output and sale Of from thirty
to forty tons. This dog food is made
of wheaton flour (chieily that known
as middlings), oatmeal, dates, beet
root and prairie meat. Dates were the
first article OF Il vegetable or fruity
nature Introduced, II nave had the
a~nti-scorhutic effect so desirable in the
feeding of dogs. For many years they
only were employed, and at that time
it was advised that fresh vegetables
| should be given twice a week, additional
TO the biscuits. Searching for some
thing that would obviatc the need for
this addition, it was discovered that
the only vegetable which did not lose
its distinguishing properties under the
! great heat to which the cakes are sub
| iected in baking is beet root, and rs il
has all the desirable elements, foi
some years all the biscuits sent ou'
have contained beet root. The last in,
