usually considered to be nervous,
very active and excitable. The
hunting group, the settlers, the
cookers, pointers and hounds, are
usually of good disposition. In these
dogs, however, the hunting instinct
is strong and unless kept tied up,
and who wants pet dog tied up,
they will roam away from home.
Then in some breeds there is a
certain bad blood line" This is
true in the German Shepherd or so
called Police dog. When purchasing
this breed the buyer should acertain
that the dog he buys carries none
of this fierce bad blood" in his
ancestry. Today careful breeders of
the German Shepherd are particular
to see that this bad strain is elimin-
ated in their breed stock
1t seems plausible that the short
haired dog is easier to care for than
long haired dog. A dogs coat needs
regular care and brushing so it's
easy to see that long hair requires
more attention than short. Our dog
| is a short haired dog. We simply
give him a good brushing once a
week and his coat stays in satin
smoothe and shining condition. We
never bathe him! Oh! what crime
it is to give poor doggie that weekly
bath that most pet owners think
is absolutely necessary.
What kind of dog? Well, here I
go on our breed, the Boxer! And,
naturally we think there just simply
is no other breed of dog! The Boxer
is large dog, short haired, intel
ligent, loving, gentle and are of
clean habit and good manners. They
are house dogs, love people and
certainly should never be kept out
doors in dog house. They are superb
watch dogs. They are handsome
animals. It. Is unfortunate for many
that they fall into the expensive dog
group. A Boxer puppy of good
breeding will set you back almost
two hundred dollars I should imag-
inc you'd have a tough time to get
one for less today. Dog prices have
gone up, too!
All dogs will get ticks on them in
the summer time. Ticks are simply
easier to see on a short haired dog.
We always manage to get ticks
off our dog before they have a
chance to become embedded and
engorged with blood. This is merely
because they are readily seen on
his short slick coat.
But above ALL no matter what
breed you buy, or consider remember
that dog reflects his owner just as
child reflects it's parents. A dog
need not be i'll behaved and obnox-
ious. If he is, his owners just simply
have not been patient and kind and
have not taken time to train him
properly. Shouting and whippings
are poor means of training. Love
and kindness and understanding of
the animals needs reap their re-
ward in the JOY of having happy,
healthy. obedient (but not cowed)
pet real gentleman dog" as our
boxer Is so often called.
hope all this will be of some help
and good luck to you with your dog
whatever breed you choose.
EGG WHITES.
From Mrs. r. M. c., AleIandria)
Mrs. c. T. B., Arlington re egg
whites. I have found a good way to
keep them from accumulating is to
use that extra egg white every day
unless planning to make a cake or
dessert. When scrambling eggs, or
making an omelet, I beat in the
extra white. often adding cheese to
make it richer. I sometimes coddle
the baby's egg and one for myself at
the same time and add the extra
white to mine instead of having two
whole eggs myself. I sometimes drop
spoonsful of meringue q tablespoons
sugar to each white) on a wide deep
pan of boiling water and bake in
moderate slow oven till light brown
and remove with fork to place on
puddings or pies.
