Of dog medicines
If the number of dogs, their value and utility
should impress the Agricultural department with
their practical and cause demand for a bulle-
tin, 1t should contain this information:

ards >. Feeding. 3. Housing. !. Disease. ..
Breeding. 6. House training, farm training, and
special training. I. Digest of state and municipal
laws S. Outlaw and criminal dogs sheep killers,
etc.
The following paragraphs are in Mr. Hawes'
words:
Evadng the Darwinan theory as applied to
the dog, for fear it may become involved in that
broader field of present debate it may be said that
the modern dog has developed in much the same
way domestic fowl and utility animals, but
he must not he cassed with those, because his as
socation with man is closer and more personal
and is better described as "domesticated' than
domestic"
We find his drawing upon the tombs of Egyp-
tian kings upon the tiles Of the Assyrians In the
sculpture of the Greeks and Romans.
He has not been neglected by history or forgot
ten by the poets.
Columbus discovered him In the West Indies,
our American Indians found him useful, and
whether at the North pole the Equator he has
had a home and place In the affairs of men
There are more different breeds of dogs than
of horses, cattle sheep or poultry.
He is the oldest domesticated animal, and
against his enemy before horses cattle and pOul-
try came under control
His story runs back prehistoric times. He
used a sacrifice upon the altar of Pagan
gods. His place in history, art fiction and poetry
ranks second only TO man.
Next to man he ranks highest in intelligence
being susceptible to all human passIons-hatred
love- fear, hope, JOY distress, tmidity and
jealousy
Man requires service from all animals but only
receives fripDdshIp JJa iS ha np1y
animal that eats all of mans food, flesh and vege
table.
Man is taught chivalry the dog has 1t natural
ly He never attacks the female of his Species
when feeding
He Is the delight of the poor mans hovel and
the rich mans mansion Faithfully follows his
master who trarnps the dusty roadside and sits
proudly upon the cushioned seat of the million
aires de luxe machine.
Wealth, caste, social distinction are all one to
him. He is content and useful in every station
assigned TO him hv fate
But he knows the Just from the unjust the kind
from the unknd. the charitable from the unchor-
liable, the true from the false, the man from the
hyrocritc.
Disguise does not deceive him. Paint tinse
SILK and jewels are to him than tatters
rags worn shoes, or ragged hat But it is what
these things cover, the man, who wins his affec-
tiOn dislike
His masters friends are his friends his mas.
ters enemies his enemies no matter vs. hat their
station.
he does not count the cost, but gives his life
at MS masters command, and, even without com.
Inand, in his masters defense
When master is CAV he Is merry. uban cod =.
grleves and understands his masters moods
WIN teeth barred eyes ablaze and hair a-bristIe
he has saved wife and child from assault and
then played nurse all day.
win devoted strength he has rescued his master
IRON watery grave and dragged child from an
angry fire. ~
