How to Care for the Farm Dog. The farm dog has a large place in the heart of the boy. The dog is his companion d-uning work and play. The dog loves the ‘boy and worries when he is away from home. The boy often finds the dog one of his best-loved chums and one of the strong attrac- tions that holds him to the farm. A dog can be made useful by proper care and training or it can be a nurs- Mice because of its behavior. Every boy Wishes to have his dog liked by the other members of the household and he can do a lot to properly train the dog. The dog's training must begin at an early age. When a dog must be pun- ished, go to the dog and do not call the dog to you and then punish him. If he receives punishment for coming when called he may lose confidence in his master. He should be punished as near as possible to the scene 0f wrong doing. Then he is mc re apt to know the cause of the punishment. Always use the same commands, such as charge, lie down, get up, etc., when teaching the dog its first lesson. This avoids confusion and the animal soon learns the simple acts that are expected of him. When teaching a dog to charge, press down on the back at the time of giving the command. When the act is performed reward the anima-llwith praise. The tone of the voice and the manner of the dog’s master -soon are undrstood by the animal. Praise is appreciated and the dog wags its tail, barks and rolls over and shows its appreciation. Censure is also soon understood and the dog hangs its tail], skulks away and shows‘ its shame for wrong doing. Dogs should be given no privileges while pups that they cannot have throughout life. The little pup that is allowed to jump into the chairs and sofa will dislike losing that privilege when grown up. Such a habit is diffiâ€" cult to break. Worrying stock and chasing chickens cannot be allowed and the habit is easily broken by whip- ping and scolding at an early age. The dog has a very sensitive car. Do not allow playmates to whistle, shout or blow in the dog’s ear. It is a form of cruelty to the animal. also have sensitive nostrils cannot stand rough treatment without much pain. right for a young pup. TWO meals a day are enough for an old dog.

After the oiling take a com-b or brush and thoroughly comb out all of the fleas. Have the dog stand on a paper and burn the paper after the treatment. All of the fleas can be combed out by carefully workâ€" ing through the hair. Then keep the kennel free from dust and dirt or the infestation will soon be back on the dog. A thorough spraying of the kenâ€" nel with a commercial coal-tar com- = pound will destroy fleas. (a Distemper causes the loss of many goo-d dogs. It can often be prevented by keeping the dog clean and vigorous and properly fed. Also keep it away from other dogs, especially town dogs which have had the run of the streets. A dog that is sick with distemper should be isolated in a kennel or room :that will hold as near as possible to sixty degrees temperature. The dog must receive good nursing and not be lallowed to run and romp until cured. Small cuts and scratches can be washed with peroxide of hydrogen if they are located where the dog cannot easily lick them. Dogs are wonderfully successful in treating their own wounds when they can be reached. In such cases the trouble can safely be left to the dog and healing will rapidly take place. Often an u-nthrifty condition of a dog will be due to intestinal worms. Then it pays to buy one of the com- mercial worm medicines which can usually be procured at any drug store and used according to the direction on the bottle. Frequently worm inedi- cine will turn a thin dog into a husky vigorous specimen in a short time. The great usefulness of the farm dog is as a watch dog. It will give warning when intruders appear and often frighten them away without the farm owner knowing of their pres- ence. By sending the dog after .hawks that swoop low on a poultry They, range the dog will soon learn to run which and bark beneath every hawk that ap- pears and the bird under these cir- cumstances will seldom dare to come A small A-shaped kennel is of great, near enough to the earth to steal a -value in keeping a farm dog under control. A long swivclled chain at- tached to the side of the kennel will enable the dog to take some exercise. At night it will be under control. Keep the kennel in the shade during the summer and pro wide a dish of cool water for the dog. Dogs can stand1 much cold, especially breeds like the Collie and Ai-rdale. They cannot stand draughts or dampness and the kennel must have a dry floor and be some- what protected from cold raw winds. "A dog that is kept in the house soon becomes house broken and will learn its place. A box in the cellar or wood shed will be all the sleeping quarters it will need. Many dogs are overfed, especially when the family is large and there are many table scraps. Other dogs are only helf fed and are forced to forage for part of their living. Both condi- tions are bad and lead to sick dogs. Oatmeal, cornmeal and skimâ€"milk can com the basis of the dog’s diet. Add bones when they are available but do not give the dog much meat. Many dogs get along without much of any meal; and they are healthy and vigor- pus. Three meals a day are about l a“ .â€""-â€"â€"er/ healthy and sweet.

A good dog is also of value in keeping down the rats, weasels, wood- ‘chucks and skunks, which have little value on the farm. The farm boy can take much pleas- ure with a pure-bred dog but just [about as much with a cross-bred dog Iif it is of good type and intelligence. Scrub dogs are not always as scrubby as they look. They are sometimes ‘very bright and vigorous and capable of learning many tricks as well as useful acts, such as watching the farm or rounding up stock. Often the dog that is classed as a mongrel cur ' . bears a bad reputation because of bad training. Boys can learn much about patience and selfâ€"restraint in their efforts to train an unruly pup. The boy who has thoroughly mastered his dog and taught it useful and interesting tricks has something of which to be proud because everyone does not have the patience to train a dog right. A dog that is properly trained to stay at home and be useful is a great source of satisfaction to the boy on the farm. or; Thi‘ig‘f‘v Help me to choose, 0 Lord, from out the maze And multitude of things that by me roll, One thing to work and pray for here on earthâ€"â€" Something to keep before me as at goal; Then when I die my days may form for Thee, Not many fragments but one pen ‘ fect whole. iI seek, O Lord, some purpose in my‘ life, I Some end which will my daily acts control.

It is, of course, a great honor to en- tertain the King and Queen. says a; well-known English hostess, but I can assure you it is also a great anxieiy and expense. Indeed, you want a very long purse to have their Majesties for guests. I ; know that a Saturday to Monday visit of the King and Queen to the castle of a Scottish duke cost him $25,000, and a four days' visit to a well-known earl reduced his bank balance to the ex- tent of $50,000. You can thus see that hospitality which costs $12500 a day is a luxury which few can afford. At certain great houses, where such visits are a tradition, a Royal suite is kept in constant readiness, thus re-s ducing both the expense and the trouble to a minimum. It is, of course. most sumptuously furnished and de- corated; but all its splendors are covered and hidden away, except up- on the occasion of a Royal visit, which ‘ may not come more than once in a dozen years. In one house I know, the Royal apartments consist of no fewer than twenty rooms, including two most luxurious suites for the King and Queen, each of six rooms, with eight rooms for the use of attendants. And these roomsâ€"a fourth of the whole houseâ€"are closed to the owner and his family, and have only been used twice in a score of years. Naturally, where there is no such provision for Royal guests, the ex- pense of a visit is enormous. portion of the house must be set apart for the purpose, rooms redecorated and structurally altered, and new and costly furniture bought. To avoid the least risk to the health of the exalted visitors, the house is thoroughly over- hauled by sanitary experts. and I have even known the entire drainage sys- tem to be reconstructed. Exercises One’s Privilege. It is a curious and little known fact that whatever house the King visits is, in the eyes of the law, his own property so long as he remains in it. He is actually the host, and its owner is his guest. But this is a position of which no Sovereign would dream of taking advantage; and, us a matter of fact, no one could play the role of guest more gracefully and tactfully than our own Royalties. The King. however. has: one privi- lege which he usually exercises. He rout constipation and indigestion, raid?» . has the right to say whom he prefers to meet under his ho. is roof. is submitted for his amendment before a single invitation is issued. This list is by no means confined to persons of title. it always includes a few guests who have distinguished themselves in some field of work or other, or who are noted for their‘ social gifts and powers of entertain- ment. Each guest, too. must under- stand all the nlceties of etiquette to be observed in the company of Royalty. If the visit is in the shooting season his Majesty, after breakfast in his own apartments, is ready to start by ten o'clock with his fellow guests to the coverts; and, after a few busy hours with the guns, the shooting party is joined by the ladies for luncheon, which is usually served in a tent. If there is no shooting the King rarely leaves his apartments during the morning; indeed, he is often ab~ sent from luncheon, so busy is he kept with his correspondence and State duties. is is. however, scldom ub-, sent from afiernoon tea, when he is prepared to enjoy himself in the com- pany of his fellow guests. Dining \Nith Royalty. Of course, all the guests are present at dinner, his Majesty escorting his hostess to the dining-room. During the meal his personal wants are at- tended lo by his own servants, who keep their position behind the Royal chair and receive the various courses' from the hands of the servants of the house.

Brockville, Ont. _Q__ The Milking of Cows. ‘ Shall cows be milked twicc or three times a day? To the average reader ‘this may seem of small concen. To the farmer and dairy-man it is a ques- tion of considerable interest. ”cats have recently been made in Nova Sco- tin, Quebec and Ontario. Professor Barton of Macdonald College says that :}t has been found from the standpoint 10f economy and safety that a cow givv ling 60 lbs. of milk a day should be milked three times. Both Professor Trucman of the Nova Scolia Agricul- etural College and Professor Barton are agreed, however, that unless the ‘udder is overâ€"distended there is little or no advantage to be gained by milk- ling three times a day. These author- ities are quoted in the September number of the Agricultural Gazette of Canada. Professor Wade Toole also‘ contributed to a solution of the same problem by giving results of l College. The tests are to be continued land Professor Toole hopes to be able ,to give a more definite opinion an- fother year than he does at present. lIn the meantime he shows that three high-class pureâ€"bred cows gave more by thrice than by twice milking a day. ‘ His present conclusions, h ever, are the same as those of Progsvsors Bar- ton and Trueman.
