ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals has been organized in Bel
gium and a number of English resi-
dents are interested in the work.
They have succeeded in having a law
passed in Antwerp preventing dogs of
a certain size from being worked, and
also that weight drawn must be in
proportion to the size and strength
of the canine.

the dog will always be looked upon as
a beast of burden. The pet dog is

American will often make a pet of his

The milk which is hauled about in
Belgium is tested every day by a milk
inspector. There is no special time
or place for this, and the milk seller
must open her cans at any time and
all times for this official. The water
ing of milk is almost unknown, for
this offense is punished by a fine. If
it occurs a second time there is an
other fine and a sign to that effect is
placed upon the milk dealers home.
A third offe1se means the withdrawal
of the license and a prison sentence.

pure milk.

it is remarkable how this dog guides

he will sometimes overload his cart,
even though there is a stringent law
against such methods, for the dog is
protected by law in that country as

with the hideous milk bell such as is

in peculiar looking wooden buckets

the bottom. In Edam, the home of

ing village of Holland, the dog is
frequently the burden bearer of the
fish cart, and it is no uncommon sight
to see the fisherman himself riding in
the cart while his wife in her pic

walks beside the vehicle. This is
really no great hardship, for the
Dutch woman is fond of walking and
thinks nothing of walking five or ten
miles to the market in Amsterdam
twice a week.
In the Jewish quarter of Amster-
dam the dog does service for the
old clothes man who plies his trade
with an aggressiveness not to be found
in America. Amsterdam has a large
Jewish population and the second
hand clothing dealer hourishes here
as nowhere else in the world. Every
morning these men start out with
their push carts to which the dog is
hitched. In the capacity of a puller
of the wagon the dog is not worked
to a great extent. for his business
here is to guard the vehicle while his
master is indoors bargaining. These
men sell as well as buy and are a

the proprietors of the Baxter Street
shops in New York City. The Dutch

cared for and their owners are as
proud of the condition of their canine
burden bearers as the Americans are
of their horses. Holland is the most
level country in Europe, the Joads are
excellent and the streets of the cities
well paved These conditions tend to
make the task of pulling light carts
easy for the dog. The Dutch arc an
unusually clean people and this clean
illness extends even to their dogs. for
the animals are washed and brushed
after the fashion of a working horse.
In Hamburg, Germany. those people
who are too poor or who have no
place to keep their draft dogs may
hire them from the dog livery stables
of the town. In that city the peculiar
laws make IL impossible for a poor
man to keep a large pet dog. for tho
animal is taxed according TO Its
height. A dog under seventeen and
one-seventh inches is taxed S4.76.
while the charge for a canine over
the above named height will cost It's
owner 1852 per year. This law ap-
plies only to pet dogs and was made
to do away with the big dog as pet

much room Dogs used as draft
animals for business purposes are
taxed sass per year In the city and
SLAP in the rural districts. A failure
on the part of the owner to secure
the tax tag by the end of January
of each year is punishable by a fine
of s11.90.
In Berlin the tax on all dogs IS the
same. $3.50 per year. In Antwerp.
where 50 many dogs are used in carts.
the tax on draft animals Is only
thirty Eight cents per annum. while
he owner of a pet canine must pay
ninety-six cents per year. The mu-
nicipality of Client exempts draft dogs
from taxation and charges S1.93 on
all others.
In all these cities the laws are rigid
both as to the payment of the license
and the care OF the dog. Cruelty to
the animals in any way IS severely
punished. One hears little of hydro
phobia in these countries where the
work dog is q valuable asset IN the
business life of the people.

The dog as burden bearer is more
picturesque in Belgium than in any
other part of the world. AS an animal
he is not beautiful as the ''maIamute''

cruel as the man who touches up

is as far from her nature as it is
