Care Of Pets

HERE IS no time in the year when
animals need so much care as In
the summer. Then they must not
only be kept clean. but must be
FED and watered properly, fcI on this
depends their health.
Dogs should be given little or no meat
during the warm weather, and water
should be kept where they can get il
az any time. Dos biscuits are the best
form Of food for them; milk and oat-
meal are also good. A bone with very
little meat on It may be given for them
10 chew. but 1t Is better 10 let the bis
cult take its place. Dogs should be
washed al least once a week to keep
them in good condition. A soap con-
tanning tar Is best for the purpose.
cats should be fed mainly on milk and
nush, and. strange to say, they are
very fond Of some vegetables. Corn on
the cob does not hurt them, and a
great many like 1t very much There
nave even been cats who Ike canta-
soupe. These animals also should have
water where they may get II. and some
cats may be washed with good results
to the cat-although It is very
dangerous operation for me unfortunate
person who Is detailed to perform the
feat. Some cool place should be pro-
vided for them to sleep, but the cellar
is not always good, for It IS too damp.
Dogs should not be allowed to sleep IN
the house. particularly IN summer. The
stable is the best place. or, lacking that
the dog kennel would be all right.
Canaries should be provided with a
daily bath Drinking water should be
kept in their cages at al times. Lettuce
leaves celery tops. and ChiCkweed
should be provided for them about twice
a week. and a bit Of red pepper VIII dc
