Oh, pack your bags! It's South
ward Ho!
For Key Vests glorious sunset
glow,
For lovely groves that palm trees
make,
For deep-sea fishing-it's no
mistake.
Of all the ports, it is the best,
The reborn city that is Key West.
See the Overseas Highways ma
jestic show,
And Key West promenading.
See natures building as you 60,
Feel sunshine's glorious blessing.
See Largo, Big Pine, as you roll,
And leaping fishes play.
Then when you get there, on the
Boulevard stroll,
Or on the cleaning sand to lay.
Finally, when the time comes to
depart,
You'll find it doggone hard to
start.

while the mother gives the

Proper mating should be the
goal of every breeder. Some
times four or even five different
matings are necessary before OBJ
tanning the ideal results. Blood
lines, as I have said, are most
important, but alone cannot be
satisfactory. There are three
divisions of breeding: 1nbreed-
ing, line breeding, and cross
breeding.
Cross breeding usually pro-
duces new qualities, while in.
breeding chat is the breeding
of dogs closely relatedO peEpetu-
ates either the defects or virtues
of the parents. Line breeding,
the breeding Of animals de-
scended from the same blood
line, continues to produce the
same general characteristics OF
that line.
In conclusion, let me say,
that If one is not an experienced
breeder Of dogs, he should con.
suit his veterinarian concern
ing the physical condition Of his
dog and also for suggestions as
how best to care for the mother
before she is due to whelp. Spe-
cial attention and often a
change in diet are advisable at
this time and after the puppies
are born.
