HANDY HINTS FOR THE KENNEL

For disinfecting purposes an ordi-
nary plant spray" that sells at any
hardware or seed store for 25 cents,
and little sheepdip can not be ex-
celled. These spraying machines con-
sist of pump and container for the
sheepdip. BY single pumping OF the
handle the sheepdip, in the form OF a
spray, reaches every corner and crack
in the kennel. The sheepdip, of which
there are many brands and varieties.
should be diluted according to the di-
rections on the can. BY liberal applica-
kennel of feas and all insects, and you
will have little If any of the ordi-
nary kennel diseases. Be careful, how
ever, not to let the dogs breathe or
get in their eyes any of the dip.
Keep your kennel runs clean and
notice the difference In the health and
appearance of your dogs. If the dogs
are fed right. the runs and houses kept
clean, the dogs exercised. the houses
not allowed to be closed up and stuffy,
distemper, mango and the host of other
kennel diseases will be unknown In
your kennel. In great many of our
western kennels the prevalence OF
mango and distemper. skin diseases,
etc, is due entirely to improper feed
ing. A steady diet of bread, washed
down with greasy soup, will not keep
a dog in a healthy condition. Bread
has a natural tendency to clog up the
bowels and produce constipation Feed
your dog plenty of carrots and other
vegetables (with the exception of po-
tatoes), keep his drinking water fresh,
his sleeping quarters airy, give him
plenty of exercise and do not oVerfeed.

the Terra Nova. which arrived recently

paper as follows:
IAN exciting incident marked the
transference at Cardiff the other day of
the antarctic dogs from the Terra Nova
TO the kennels for conveyance to Lon
don They howled and gnawed al their
wooden prisons. One powerful felloW
nipped away the side of his kennel and
dashed along the quayside, scattering
the crowd in all directions.
Surgeon Atkinson whistled loud ana
long and the dog returned to the boat
and quietly submitted to being again
imprisoned by one of the Terra Nova
seamen.
.'Then the whole pack of IL howled
and ragged again as they realized they
were being removed from their oid
quarters and from the companionship
of the men whose voices they knew
and understood
