CATERERS TO DOMESTIC ANIMALS.

Principles That Underlie tho Manufacture
Of Dog and Horse Biscuit.
Eyes, we are nothing more nor
less than dog caterers" said Mr.. j.
8. Leigh. Mr. Leigh, seeing that he
had aroused the reporters curiosity,
added further, ''and we make 300
tons of dog biscuits in London per
week, IS tons here, besides manufac-
turing our buiscuits in Berlin and
St. Petersburg" By this time the
reporter began to imagine that the
dog was much more important ami
NAL than he had hitherto believed
him to be and questioned Mr.. Leigh
further.
Said the latter: Man himself
would be a hundred per cent better
off if he could be fed on the same
principles we apply in catering to
dogs. We ourselves eat everything
and anything. The laborer has about
the same staple articles of food that
does tho man who uses his brains.
There is but little difference, though
from a physical point Of view there
should be q vast one.
I'm feeding dogs it is quite other
wise when we have the say. For in
stance, we don't give greyhound,
whose nature it is to run, food to
make him fat, but that which will
build up his bone and muscle and I'M
prove his wind A bulldog will get
the sort of biscuit that will improve
his courage and increase his tenacity.
The pet dog that gets but little exer-
else has to be presented with some
thing more tempting than either of
the other two, while the puppy which
is still growing must have that which
will form both bone and flesh.
In the manufacture of our biscuits
all these facts enter largely. In the
first place, the biscuit must be hard,
so that the dog cannot bolt it at once,
as he usually does with soft food,
but must gnaw at it leisurely, thus
giving the saliva chance to flow.
mix with his food and help digest it,
at the same time keeping his teeth
clean and his gums hard. AS to the
composition Of our biscuits, we put
that proportion of animal and vege-
table matter into them which will at
tain any desired result. Besides
catering to dogs, we make biscuits
for cats, and, by the way, " cents
per day is the average cost of keep
ing cat OH our biscuits. Then, too,
there are biscuits for horses, very
serviceable thing in times Of a cam
paign, when the most food must lie
carried in the smallestspace possible.
From our experience in catering
to animals, said MI Leigh in conclu-
sion, II will wager that the time will
come when the man of sedentary
habits will no more think Of buying
the same kind of food that the man
does who leads an active life con-
stantly calling his muscles into play,
than would think of giving to my
greyhound the same biscuit to eat
that would to my puppy. Caterer
