Dog Farms in China,

In Manchuria and all that part OF
China adjoining Mongolia there are
thousands OF farms devoted exclusive
ly 10 dog raising. At each Of these es-
adjustments several hundred DOGS are
kept, which are killed by strangula-
ton when they are S months Old. usual
ly toward the middle OF winter. Al
that time their skin is covered with
very fine hair. and from these skins
are made winter clothes for the in
habitants of the celestial empire. The
dogs furnishing these skins are en-
tircly different from the breed Of dogs
known here or In Europe. and their
fur Is said to be so long haired and
close on account of the extreme cold in
hat region.
These fur dogs constitute the ONLY
wealth Of this desolate country, and
the only dOWry given TO the daughters
OF these farmers consists Of a number
Of dogs. The value Of the dogs Is
about half a dollar, and as it takes
eight fur dogs to make a coat, such an
article IS rather expensive.
Traffic in dog skins is centcred in
large cities like Moukdcn and Fo,
Chow, where they are tanned. At thu
tirst-named place the amount of dol
skins handled last year represented
half a million dollars.
