they, too, keep away the kites and look
after the health of the bronds. There are
no artificial 5rooticls for the young chicks.
The incubatory keeps them warm and the
women, when they are taken away attend
to their comfort in their dwellings, such
rs they are. The houses OF the feilahs are
dwellingho for people, cattle, sheep
goats, camals, donileys aud fowls; and
brutes and fowls are more carefully
watched over than The children.
Disease is almost unknown. The dry.
ness OF the climate is the cause of almost
universal health among fowls-at least
that is my opinion. Mites and lice are,
think, produced mostly by fowls while
sitting; and as fowls are rarely permitted
to perform the process of incubation this
is Il decided exemption in this respect.
The growing chicks are carefully
watched, aud if parasites appear, the
whole brood may be seen minus all

1t is, perhaps, not generally known
that more money can be ma]e nowadays
by painting the portraits of dogs tnan by
Inning the features of the human ami
NAL. The extent to which dog portrait
ure is being carried is almost incredible,
and is remarkable sign of the times
There is one well-known painter, whom
the public would no more suspect OF dog
painting than they would OF designing
pictorial advertisements for somebody's
soap, who makes Il large income in this
way. or course there is nothing dis
creditnble about it, but it SHOWS that u
curious fancy has taken hold of the dog
owning public. Many q iaan who would
not dream of having his own portrait OF
that of any Of his children p;.intcd, would
pay readily AND handsomely for good
portrait of his Tavori,c dog. The natural
result is that the demand creates n sup.
ply, and the number of artists who dc
vote themselves to this branch of art is
very large. Life.
