Cedar Shavincs For Dogs.

If your dogs are troubled with heas
q very simple way TO get rid OF the

Dnns and Colors.

The question, Can dog distinguish
colors? was the subject Of an article
in a recent issue of the Zentralblatt
fur Physiologie. A series Of expert
ments demonstrated the fact that dogs
could. through training, learn to dis
tinguish colors. The writer says; I'VE
trained dogs to fetch and carry an OBJ
ject Of a certain color and then placed
one like it in every detail in a group
Of similarly formed objects, but Diff
fering in color from white to black. In
most instances the dog picked the right
color. We found, however, that the
darker shades puzzled them, and they
made many mistakes. We are con-
WINGED that dogs can distinguish col
ors. but not all of them, and their
sense in that direction is limited to
what we know as light shades"
