GUS rosettes all over the body. The
lOng-haired CAVES are not recon-
mended for ordinary pets. as their
coats need much care. The smooth
haired require less attention and
make equally attractive pets. They
have the advantages OF being easily
kept and of never biting when ham
died. However, it is not advisable to
subject pet animals Of any sort to
much handling or, fondling. Even
dogs and cats are always the worse
for such treatment, and pet rabbits
or guinea pigs soon show the results
Of much handling in their roughened
coats and lack Of sprightliness. Long
haired guinea pigs, especially If in
tended for show, require some ham
ding, since the hair has to be
brushed frequently. This is best
done while the animal rests on high
shelf where it need not be held DUR
ing the brushing.
Guinea pigs are in much demand for
experimental use in the preparation,
testing, and standardizing serums and
antitoxins. They are well adapted for
this purpose, being small and easily
handled. Their use in medical re-
search is steadily increasing. and
some of the large institutions, unable
to secure steady supply Of reliable
stock for their own purposes, have
set up breeding establishments of
their own.
Sometimes guinea pigs found in
bird stores are unfit for laboratory
experiments. They have been pre-
viously used for serum or antitoxin
tests or may be the offspring Of ami
mails that have survived such tests.
Unless the dealer knows the source
from which the animals came and
can guarantee that they have never
been used for experiments. he can
rarely sell them to institutions. Any
breeder undertaking to supply animals
to laboratories must give absolute as
surance as to their suitability for ex-
periments. If he can do this and fur
nish the animals as needed, he should
he able to command good prices for
them and to establish a permanent
and lucrative business.
The chief enemy of the guinea pig
is the common rat. Preventive meas
ures should be taken for the extermin-
alton Of rats; after they have thor
oughly established themselves about
the premises 1t is no easy task. In a
neighborhood that is rat-infested,
buildings intended for housing guinea
pigs should be made absolutely rat
proof.
The rearing of guinea pigs requires
no extraordinary knowledge and no
great odtlay of capital. Little space
is needed to accommodate the ami

RAISING GUINEA PIGS
Serve as Pets and for Many
Scientific Purposes.
Little Animals Are in Much Demand
for Experimental Use In Prepara-
tIon and standardlzing serums
and AntItoxlns.

Guinea pigs, or CAVES, are raised
chiefly for two purposes as pets or
fancy stock and for scientific uses.
For four centuries the guinea pig
was regarded merely as pet and
bred for show and fancy alone. Being
q plastic animal, it was considerably
changed during this period. and sew
eral strains and notifications of the
original were developed. Thus, besides
the smooth-haired forms, we have the
Peruvian. which is very long-haired
type, and the Abyssinian, type with
rather long hair standing out In curl

Supervisors of Alexandria
County Give Approval to
Improvement Enterprise.

Rights of way are now being secured
for a new boulevard to extend southwark
from the Potomac river and parallel to
Mount Vernon avenue on the Virginia

have work actively in progress soon on a
section of the new highway connecting
Highland boulevard and the Columbia
turnpike This portion of the road will
extend through the government expert
ment farm, on which property 1t will con-
meet with the new Arlington boulevard,
which is now in course of construction
from the south end Of the Highway
bridge to Arlington.
Some work already has been done on
the new highway in the subdivision of
Virginia Highlands, and from this point
it is intended to extend 1t southwark to
the old fort at Four Mile Run. This in
teresting fortificaton, though not so well
known as are other points of historic

extend the boulevard southwark to con-
andria. The northern terminus of the
boulevard will be on the line of the APP
proach on the Virginia side to the pro-
posed Memorial bridge to Arlington.
The board Of supervisors of Alexandria
