MEAT DIET TO KEEP
DOG IN CONDITION
Makes Richer Blood and
Strengthens Bones.

With a big majority of dog experts an
idea prevails that cereal food is prefer
able to meat for dog. but where there
is much hardship and long continued
exertion there is nothing so sustaining
as q meat died. For instance the huskies
which are used in the snow clad trails
of the Yukon and the frozen north are
fed mainly with raw meat. and anything
else has been found to be practically
useless In discussing the question the
current number of the American Fancier
makes the following interesting deduc-
ton:
1T has long been an established fact
among dog experts, as we call those who
make a business or hobby of dogs that
nothing keeps a dog as At as meat
It's the natural diet. Many people want
to know what is the best tonic when
there is need for richer, redder blood
and more of it. 1t is assumed that the
need is for more iron in the blood. Three
University of California students have
undertaken to answer the question of
which is the best way to get iron in the
blood. They worked with dogs. A dog
would be bled until a quarter of his
blood had been lost. The next day the
process was repeated. They took away
about half his calculated blood sup
ply. Immediately after certain guam
drawn from the vessels the tissues sup
ply enough of water to make up the loss
in quantity, but they are not able to
supply the quality on such short notice.
Therefore, half of a dogs blood hav-
ing been drawn off. what is left in the
vessels shortly becomes 100 per cent. in
quantity and so per cent in quality.
The first question was, will the tis-
sues bring this quality of the blood to
10 ic fha &c
fed enough. The blood of dogs fed on
an average amount of table scraps was
normal in eight weeks. If dog was
fed on table scraps. but was not given
enough to eat his blood did not return
to normal. Assuming, then, that eight
weeks was n standard. various foods
and medicines were used and the time
required for a return to normal was
compared with the standard. A diet of
raw or cooked meat was found to be
the best iron tonic for a dog. When
such a diet was used dogs were back to
normal in four weeks. Liver came right
along in the same class as meat. Green
vegetables were not so effective as
meat While dogs are accustomed to
eating a mixed diet, there is no doubt
that their stomachs and intestines are
built on meat eating lines. Had they
been working with grass eating animals
perhaps spinach and other green vege-
tables might have led the meat. Their
experiments indicate that money spent
on forms of inorganic iron is money
wasted.
Certainly these experiments prove
that where an@mia is due to hemorrhage
the only iron tonic needed Is good food
in proper quantity, good meat heading
the list. Beef tea and beef extracts were
found to be as useless as tincture Of
iron and bitter wine of iron.'

J. E. MADDEN LEADS
WINNING BREEDERS

Statistics of racing compiled for the
American Racing Manual show that
John L. Madden heads the list OF win

season in the show ring. They are no
longer built, except to order, and are
becoming quite rare. Charles r. Hamil-
ton of Philadelphia confesses to being
the exhibitor who first introduced pneu-
matics at American horse shows. He
had a wire wheeled runabout weighing
sixty pounds, specially built by Caffrey
of Camden, with two sets of shafts to
fit any pony, and kept it exclusively for
occasions when the going was heavy
from rain at outdoor shows. Others, he
says, seeing its advantage in the matter
of light draft, began to pick up the
Caffrey and Schildwachter speed wagons
built for harness racing and used them
at both outdoor and indoor shows.

SEEN AND HEARD
IN HORSE MARKET

With buyers of farm horses already
in the market both fresh and seasoned
work horses are now bringing much bet
ter prices than they were a month ago
in the semi-weel<ly auctions at Fiss,
poerr & Carroll's. These Monday and
Thursday sales in East Twenty-fourth
street are headquarters for both coun-
try and city trade, and just now the
out of town dealers and buyers are TAX
ing an unusually large share of the
offerings for this time of the year. Their
explanation of the early farm demand
is that many of the best horses going
through the auctions this winter are
thin, and 1t will take some time to get
them in condition for hard work.
The Bergen Horse Company's weekly
auctions in Jersey City are making an
outlet for a lot of useful seasoned work
horses every Wednesday, with frequent
shipments of fresh ones from the West.
Prices are steadily going up as the sea-
son for farm work draws nearer.
Frank Mckay of Princeton, ILL.,. has
arrived in New York with carload of
work horses for to-morrow's auction at
Fiss, Doerr & Carrolls. He is a well
known shipper to this market and the

morrow's sale.

Status of Hands Up
Creates Discussion

To the Editor of THE NEW YORK HERALD :
The American bred wire haired fox
terrier Champion Hands Up was never
exhibited as a puppy. He made his first
appearance when he was seventeen
months old at the w. X. c. Show in
Madison Square Garden. His dam,
Berkeley Belle, was a smooth fox terrier
by Claude Duval, and was purchased in
England by my husband for f100, was
left there to be bred to Go Lang and
was sent over here and whelped seven
puppies on Staten Island, of which
Hands Up was one.
This is the first ! ever heard Of Hands
Up not being American bred and the
first l ever heard of the judgment of
the late Mr.. l.. p. C. Ashley being con-
demned. The latter is noted. perhaps
the most noted. of all English judges
and a great authority on the fox ter
rier.
These are the true facts by one who
should know.
MRs. REGINALD f. MAYHEM.
To the Editor of THE New YORK HERALD ::
"The Facts About Hands Up."-Under
this sub-caption THE HERALD of last Sun
day permits "a correspondent to state
certain facts bearing on a statement in
THE HERALD to the effect than Hands Up
won all before him as a puppy at our
shows and was then sent to England
and there won highest honors for the
breed at the Crystal Palace and Cruft's
shows Is it not strange that the
correspondent corrected the statement
that Hands Up won in the puppy classes
and yet failed to correct the other mis-
statements which We're even more evil
dent to those who are familiar with the
dogs actual record? The corrected ver-
sion is that the dog was not shown as q
puppy but that he won in all other
classes; which is precisely what he did
not do, for he was exhibited at Pitts
burg soon after he had made his debut
at New York and was placed second,
the judge being James Mortimer
AS to winning "the highest honors for
the breed" at the Crystal Palace and
Cruft's, how can that be possible when
the dog won only fourth prize in the
open class at the Crystal Palace. which
think you will find was Cruft's show i?
Your statement is about the same as that
a fourth prize winner in the open class
at the Westminster show had won high
est honors for the breed at the New York
and Westminster shows After his de-
feat at the Palace. Hands Up made his
appearance at the Fox Terrier Club
show, where he got highly commended
in the open class under one of the best
judges the world has ever known.
The For. Terrier Chronicle, edited by
l.. p. c. Ashley, who reviewed the big
shows. contained the following opinion
about Hands Up, which proves how far
Mr.. Ashley cared to venture in upholding
his opinion of Hands Up as expressed
when he placed the dog first at New
York: Hands Up we hoped would have
done better under an old and acknowl-
edged first rate judge, who has also bred
some of the best. He has
thus failed signally to distinguish HIM
self in the attempts he has made in
England. and however he might have
deserved the high encomiums passed
upon him in America he has done
nothing here to show that he merited any
such laudations as he received"

Another prize winner exhibited by the
Broadlawn Stables at Madison Square
Garden last November has been disqual-
ifled by the National Horse Show Asso-
citation. After having been registered as
Firebrand the yearlng hackney pony by
Fire Boy out of Princess Sheila. was
entered as Velvet Fire, winning in one
class and being placed in another. His
disqualification in the pony class will
give all three prizes to yearlings exhib-
tied by James Cox Brady and got by
his champion stallion, Hamilton Model.
In the other class in which Velvet Fire
was disqualified the third prize went to
an unregistered yearling, while the win
ners of first prizes in the classes for
yearling FLIES and two-year-old hllies
are not to be found in the stud books,
as required by the published conditions.
After a long delay the protest made
by Mrs. Thomas ]. Regan against Miss
Corinne Poth and Miss Bailey riding as
amateurs at the Mineola Horse Show
last September has been decided in favor
of the children protested. The rule OF
the Association of American Horse
Shows is exceedingly strict in barring
the children of dealers and those inter-
ested in the purchase and sale of horses
in professional way. and Mrs. Regan
maintained that Mr.. Poth and Mr..
Bailey were so interested, but the COM
mittee has finally decided against her
contention.
At a meeting of the directors of
Squadron A last week it was decided
that challenge cup valued at $500, to
be known as the Squadron A cup. be put
up for competition at the next National
Horse Show as a prize for officers
chargers. 1t is the purpose of the donors
of the trophy to encourage the laying
down of definite rules and conditions
for judging this type of horse. 1t is
the opinion of the directors of the
squadron that in the past conformation,
type. performance and various other
factors have frequently varied with the
result that widely different types of
horses have received prizes in classes
for officers chargers not only at the
National but at other shows, and 1t Is
to avoid this by establishing a definite
standard so that prospective exhibitors
NAV know what is demanded that the
cup Is to be offered A special committee
composed of two members of Squadron
A two United States army officers and
= two civilian horsemen will meet in the
near future to draw up conditions for
the new trophy and define the type of
horse that fills the requirements.

ANOTHER CANDIDATE FOR
GOVERNOR.

A communication from Richmond
states that MIR. j. Shepherd Potts,
President of the Rural Road Improve
ment League of Virginia, young
business man and farmer, is being
urged to announce his candidacy for
the nomination of Governor in the
August primary. The reason given
for urging Mr.. Potts candidacy is,
the question of the big proposed
bond issue for roads has been "put
squarely up to both Mr.. Trinkle and
Mr.. Tucker. but up to this time
neither of them has expressed him
self definitely on the subject, both
side stepping the question"
In communication sent out by
Mr.. Trinkle. May 23rd, he says on
the question of n bond issue and
taxation generally.
II believe that the present burden
of county, city. State and Federal
taxes is as heavy as the people
should be called upon to bear, and l
am unatterably opposed to any in.
crease in taxation of any for any pur-
pose under present conditions" Is
this "side stepping" or is it not?
