HOW ABOUT YOUR DOG?

~NN~~NoN~~~

Some facts which every lover of dogs
should know are printed in Our Four
footed Friends The writer Of the ar
ticle believes that nine dogs out Of ten
which their owners have to get rid OF
are simply the victims of careless or
unkind treatment. Overfeeding and
lack of exercise are the cause of ills
in the canine race as well as among
human beings
Nothing is so certain to make dog
sullen or cross as claiming him up.
He suffers so much from confinement
that it inevitably changes his DISPOSE
tion. 1t is not only a wrong and
cruel way to treat a dog, but it Is fool
ish, for chained dog can be of no
service to his owner excepting to bark.
A tramp or burglar knows the dog
cannot reach him to harm him.
A chained dog Is likely to bark 1T
friend as well as at a foe, or at a
dog running by or a passing team. The
family gets used to his barking. and
no one is likely to get up in the night
and investigate every time the chained
dog barks.
dog that Is well treated and has
his freedom stays about the place and
guards it. or course there are excep-
tons" tramp dogs" we call them; but
the family wanting a watch dog can
find one that will discriminate between
friend and foe, and strike terror to
the heart of evil-doers by the very fact
that he Is loose.
| have heard it said, and believe it
to be true, that burglars dread a little
house dog inside the house more than
dog outside the house. as they have
ways of quieting the latter A dog
that sleeps inside the barn is a greater
safeguard to the barn than one out
side aud chained up.
If a dog is kept outside to guard
place he should not be chained, but
should have a goodsized, comfortable
dog house, facing south, raised at least
six inches from the ground, as other
wise the floor will be cold and damp,
and cause rheumatism. There should
be a bed of loose straw or excelsior,
changed frequently enough TO keep it
clean and dry, and always a dish full
Of fresh, clean water.
A dog is a living, sensitive creature,
not a machine, yet he frequently gets
less careful attention than the machi-
merry men use. 1t IS seldom boy or
even a man will take as good care OF
his dog as he does of his bicycle or his
automobile.
A chained dog is wretched, and nc
constant suffering. even to serve what
one may call a useful purpose.

Eleven million larches, oaks, spruces,
Douglas frs and eucalypts have already
been planted. and vast numbers Of seed
