ORAuoHr DOGS IN HOLLAND.

Animal Does the Work of the Donkey
in the Low Countries.
In Holland and Belgium the dog oc-
cupies the place which the donkey
does in several other countries In
the former the sight of couple of
dogs dragging along pushcart loaded
with vegetables. flowers or shining
milk cans is familiar one. They
trot along underneath the cart with
in easy reach of the blunt toe of the
sabot of the woman. who walks be-
hind it to guide it by the handles at
tached at that point.
In Belgium the dogs are hitched in
front, as the Russians attach their
horses to their droskies, three abreast.
and are guided by a pair of rope reins
fastened to a muzzle about the nose
of the dog in the middle.
Recently the National Cart Dog As
sociation. organized to reg snerate the
original race Of Belgian mastiffs, held
its first exhibition of cart dogs. The
Flemish breeders have found that in
crossing the Belgian mastiffs with the
Great Danes, with the .dea OF lncreas-
iEg the size of the cart dogs. and so
securing additional strength, they
made a mistake. The result proved
to he animals with weak headquarters
and diSpcoportionate limbs Now they
are en4eavoring to revive the original
sto, 4.
The women and dogs of these two
little countries are another evidence
that human and canine nature are the
same the world over When one sees
the white-capped Belgian milk woman
with her dogs standing near a we'll.
the woman having a battered can
siung on her forearm, one instructive
~ becomes suspicious. The suspicion
is confirmed when one discovers a po-

Good Summer Hog Pen.

Where swine are TO be kept In a
somewhat small enclosure and fed In
the house 1t is not always easy to keep
the floor Of the house clean. The plan
here suggested will accomplish this
and give the hogs something to keep
them busy besides. The hoghouse is
built with a slantng floor and in the
end at the high part is cut a trough
the entire width of the house, into
which is thrown leaf mold or broken
sod. This the swine will root down
and 1t will act as an absorbent Of the
manure. particularly the liquid por-
tons. If the floor Is made quite slant
ing most of this sod, etc, will be root
ed down to the lower end by the hogs.
While the artist has not shown the
floor slanting as it should be, in the IL
