in while they appear on the fore
legs as well.
In ancient times they were sup
posed to be sign of distinction and
even an emblem of good fortune.
Then came the fad of amputating
them during early puppyhood on
the grounds that they gave the foot
a splayed appearance and that they
were likely to get caught in bram-
bles in the hunting field.
I never have found they interfere
with dogs speed or safety in the
field, nor that they do any harm,
but most show dogs are shorn Of
them to give the lower leg and
foot heater shape.
@. I want a dog that can be used
to hunt birds, rabbits and retrieve
ducks. Do you know of any breed
of dog that can do all this?-R. L. N
A. A breed that might do all this
for you is the German short-haired
pointer.
@. If dog has dewclaws does
that mean he is mongrel?-T. p.
A. No. Even the purest OF dog
strains often have dewclaws.

that would go around. Then we went
to the blacksmith shop. We pumped
the bellows and made a great big
fire.
After we pumped the bellows, we
went to see inside a covered wagon
They had a funny watering trough
that the horses drank from. 1t was
half of a tree trunk.
After we went there we went to the
State House and saw some public
rooms. Then went to the Raleigh
Tavern and saw the ladies powder
room, the gentlemen's smoking room
and the taproom. There was a ba,
and at the bottom of the floor there
was door that the bartender would
go through to get the drinks. There
was a long pipe, and each time a
man would use it he would break a
little off.
Then. we went to the Bruton
Church, where we saw right where
Thomas Jefferson and George Wash
ington sat. We also saw where the
coachmen and slaves sat.
Then we went and ate In the
Growing Tavern. Then we started on
our way home.

hired to take care of the reindeer
while they were being driven from
Kotzebue Sound clear across North
ern Alaska to the Eskimo settlement
near the Mackenzie. 1t had been ex-
pected that the journey would take
about two years. AS it turned out
five and half years passed before
it was completed.
The Lapps and Eskimos were ex-
pert herdsmen, but reindeer kept es-
Gaping along the way. At one place
close to 1000 escaped, and year
was spent there before the majority
of the lost animals were rounded up
About $500 reindeer died along
the way, or escaped. The number
delivered to the Mackenzie River
Eskimos was 2,370, however. That
seems like poor arithmetic, since the
start of the trip was made with only
$1,000 The explanation is that almost
1900 fawns were born along the way.
The mother reindeer, or does, took
care of the young ones, which
learned to trot along beside them.

Around s or 4 O'CLOCK tnat a1tef-
noon, we reached Williamsburg, and
went to the house where We were
going to stay. We put on our cos
tunes and went to look at the
houses.
We went to the Governors Palace.
We saw the front room, and chair
with candles on each side of it. The
governor would fall asleep in it and
wake to see if his wig was on fire.
Then we saw the bedroom that he
died in, with red covers and shades
on it.
Then we went and saw the canal.
There was bridge going across it,
and we could stand on 1t.
I'VE saw the kitchen. And we saw
the great big fireplace. We saw a
shoef1y chair that the maid used
when she peeled potatoes.
Then we went to eat at the Col
onial Restaurant. After we ate, we
bought some cards of Williamsburg
Then we went home and went to
sleep.
Early the next morning, We went

Dairymen Urged
To Raise Calves

BLACKSBURG, Va.-Robert G.
Connolly, Virginia Extension dairy
man, has advised farmers who do
not already raise their own replace
ments to start the practice and said
it has been proved beyond doubt
that healthy, high producing dairy
herds are raised rather than
bought" Those who raise their own
requirements are much better able
to keep their herds free from con-
tagious diseases, he said.
Breeding cows once year stimu-
lates milk production and dairymen
who raise requirements will have
surplus cattle to sell every year and
a chance to show profit on pasture,
hay and silage.

and female reindeer nave antlerS,
and in this way they differ from
other kinds of deer
The food of wild reindeer is made
up largely of plants which are found
in woodlands. In winter they feed
largely on the bark of trees and on
moss. They may nibble moss which
hangs down from the branches of
trees, or they may take it from the
ground. Often they dig away snow
by paving" with their front legs
so they can reach the moss below.
Many Reindeer Tanned.
Lapland is a region which spreads
across sections of the countries I
have named. If you made visit to
Lapland. you could see great num-
Der of tame reindeer The Lapps
keep them very much as we keep
cattle.
Milk is obtained from reindeer
COWS" and the Laps use reindeer
to pull sledges. A strong reindeer can
draw a load of 300 pounds along
snow-covered roads at the rate of
IS miles per hour.
Besides its tame reindeer, Lapland
contains many thousands which run
wild. From time to time, the wild
reindeer are rounded up and slaugh-
tered for their meat, or venison.
Meat Is Exported.
Some persons in hungry Europe
are being fed with the reindeer meat
which the Lapps export. In an aver
age year about 10000 of the animals
are rounded up for this purpose.
One Lapp, Lars Kreik, has the nick
name of Reindeer King" In single
season, he made $4,000 by the sale
of 500 reindeer.
Siberia is another center for REIN
deer. Several hundred Siberian REIN
deer were obtained for Alaska in
1892, and others were brought in 10
years later. These were for the use
of Alaskan ESkimoS.
Twenty years ago, some OF the
Eskimos of Northwestern Canada
were having a hard time because OF
the shortage of food. Word of this
came to the Canadian government,
and it was decided to buy 5000 rein
deer for Eskimos who lived east OF
the mouth of the Mackenzie River.
Five Lapps and four Eskinos were

At this time of year shade and
fruit trees are sprayed. The chief
element in most of these sprays is
acetate of lead, deadly poison. The
spray is pumped onto the trees but
much of it is blown by the wind
onto the grass for many yards in
every direction. Much Of it drops
from the trees to the grass below
Then along comes a dog, happy al
the chance to chew fresh spring
grass once more after CRASHES
winter. He may swallow enough
acetate of lead to make him deathly
i'll or enough to kill him.
Dogs, like humans, suffer from
the lack of certain elements in their
food. Many of the minor canine
skin ailments can be traced directly
to improper feeding. When dog
is fed an increased amount OF
vitamin A the skin trouble usually
disappears quickly.
When your dog suffers from loss
of coat or other skin trouble take
MIN to veterinarian for advice and
proper treatment. If the condition
is not too Serious, first try feeding
your dog less, and increasing the
amount of vegetables in his diet.
Mix the vegetables with raw. lean
meat. Often this is all that is
needed and you need not consult a
wet" If the skin trouble doesn't
clear up quickly after a change in
diet, don't put off taking your pet
to a veterinarian. The trouble may
be traceable to something other
than incorrect feeding.
Among interesting patents is one
issued to Miss Ruth McCaleb Of
Evanston, III.
Miss McCaleb's invention consists
of strap with two pockets" The
idea is that the strap fits over the
head of dog and the animals ears
fit into the two pockets. 1t is
specially designed for spaniels to
wear when eating so that their ears
won't fall into ther food dish. An
other recommended use is to fit 1t
on hound or other hunting dog
before taking 1t into the field to
protect its ears from being torn
or covered with briars.
A long time ago I wrote about
dewclaws on dog, but SO many of
you have asked me about them
since that perhaps the subject is
worth a few lines more.
They are unnecessary claws or
spurs which some dogs have on
their hind legs few inches above
the foot and which usually are at
tached loosely to- the leg by car
tilage instead of by a bone. Once
