Cellars are nbt good quarters for a puppy. I do not mean that it is not perfectly all right to put a young puppy in the cellar (if it is reasonably clean and entirely dry) if he is not yet trained out of his destruc tiveness and the family must be away for a short time, but even better than being put in the cellar is to be put in a “brig” — a cage which any handy person can make of wood and 1 inch chicken mesh, big enough to permit him to get some exercise, yet light enough to be readily moved by a woman or child. Such a brig could be his night quarters, with the addition of a draft repelling wooden box for his bed (with high sides but a low cut front for easy accessibility). Protected with newspapers on the floor, this arrangement makes house training ‘easier also. A “brig” 15 inches wide, 60 inches long and 15 inches high makes a nice out of doors play pen for the puppy (should have a hinged cover so he can not learn to jump out and run away) so he can be safely out of doors in pleasant weather without the necessity of con- stant watching. Newspapers make excellent, inexpensive bedding, easily disposable by burning. Or a feed sack or burlap bag may be filled with cedar shavings or ribbon (obtainable at pet shops) for a bed. I fill a muslin sack with the cedar ribbon and stitch ‘it closed like a pillow, then use other feed bags or burlap sacks for the which I launder when soiled. keep your dog smelling fresh at all times and also is a flea and insect repellant. A puppy sold into a household as a pet for young children needs especially watchful care lest loving children “kill him with kindness”. Even a very young child must be taught not to hold. a puppy for any great length of time, not to hold him too tightly nor squeeze him, not to drop him if he squirms, and not to feed him odd bits of most anything. Puppies are babies after all, and are subject to the same discomfort and possible illness which a young human, constantly mauled, would experience. Pets can teach even young children gentleness and re sponsibility, but their care must be supervised until the children learn consideration. It's not fair to the breeder (who has taken a lot of trouble to be able to offer you a fine, healthy puppy) or to the puppy to simply buy him and turn him over to children as you would a wooden toy. After he grows up he “can take it” but while he is little, it will pay to exercise some intelligence im his care. After all, the great happiness which will develop between a child and his dog and the devotion which a dog will learn to give his young master is worth any trouble it may be to see-that they get off to the best possible start. I advocate the building of the “brig” or “play pen” for the puppy into which he can be put for the rest and quiet relaxation which animals enjoy and which all young things need. A small amount of wood and some 1 inch mesh chicken wire can soon be converted into this type of haven and if an old tightly knotted clothsline or a pair of old stockings is tied to the top railing the puppy will play with-it for hours and amuse himself and his young owner with his antics. Often a puppy is lonely in his new home — he is missing his “family”. A large soup bone for him to gnaw on, a noisy old alarm clock, kept wound and ticking, or an old shoe (no laces for him to chew up and possibly choke on) will keep him content and help him to feel at ease. Play with your puppy, get used to him and have him get used to you — but remember he is a baby and never let him play to the point of becoming exhausted. A small amount of understanding and patience will help him de- “ 2 cases The cedar bedding will velop into a healthy, well mannered dog, which you can be proud to own, and whose devotion to you and yours is beyond price. In punishing him never use your hand, or a leash, or’ any other part of his equipment which should mean only pleasure to him. Correct him, when necessary, by a light slap with a folded newspaper and a firm “No, no”. Slap him on the flanks, never about the head or ears. If, as some puppies are, he is inclined to bite your fingers as you do things for him, then give him a tap on the muzzle (not on his nose) and substitute some chewable object. It is probable that his teeth are bothering him (even as a baby’s do) and he has the instinct to chew somehing to comfort himself. BATHING — Do not bathe oftener than is neces sary to keep him decent and sweet smelling. A thorough brushing daily, either alone or after french chalk has been well rubbed into his coat, will aid in keeping him clean. Cedar bedding helps keep him fresh and clean smelling. When you do bathe him, use a mild soap, lather him well, and rinse, rinse, and rinse until all the suds have been washed away. Any residue left on his skin or in his coat is bad for both and will also help pick up dirt more quickly. See that he is thoroughly dry be- fore he is permitted to go out of doors or any where he might get a chill. A dog can stand a very great deal of dry cold; damp feet or a damp coat are dangerous to his health. House training is a matter of watchfulness and pati- ence as it is with a baby. The puppies have been started training on newspaper and they will usually try to get to this if one is readily reached. When the puppy shows signs of restlessness pick him up and take him to his paper (or out of doors if you plan to train him this way and if the weather is not too wet). Never take a tiny puppy out in the rain or into wet grass. Particularly after feeding watch him and take him to his paper at the first signs of distress. His stool should be firm but not hard. Extremely loose movements are a sign that something is wrong — it may be much or comparatively little. If mak- ing his food less moist does not correct the situation in a few hours consult a .veterinarian as continued watery or foamy movements are often an indication of some coming ailment. If the puppy shows signs of indigestion or ‘needs a laxative, give milk of magnesia (of approximately the same dosage you would give a child). Never give any pill which might contain strychnine as dogs are peculiarly susceptible to this type of poison and it is usually fatal. All puppies sold from this kennel are either innocula- ted (temporarily) against distemper, or an allowance is made on the purchase price for the purchaser to have this temporary protection until the puppy is old enough (4 months) to be given the first of the permanent dis temper shots. It is very strongly urged that permanent shots be given. These cost from $2.50 to $3.50 each (three are necessary) but are, on completion, a lifelong protection against true distemper. If you ever have oc casion to board your puppy for any reason, you will find that no. reliable boarding kennel will accept an animal which has not been innoculated and no owner who has ever seen the ravages which distemper can bring upon a dog will begrudge the comparatively small cost to insure his protection. While I am both unwilling and unable to diagnose canine ailments, and believe a veterinarian should be con- sulted when any dog has a fever or much of a discharge from nose or eyes, there are problems which a new owner may wish to consult me about and I am always willing to help if it is within my power.

Signi- ficant rainfall was confined to thunder- storms on Saturday. Light amounts in the northwest and southeast have been insufficient to relieve the dry condi tions, and more rain is needed. Corn made excellent progress with some fields either in tassel or earing in all areas. Much is late but looking good. Storms have laid down a lot of corn. Yields of wheat are heavy with some to be threshed in the north and west. A few fields of both wheat and barley are still in shock in some western counties. Nearly all barley is threshed and yields are very good. Early oats are mostly harvested, but many late fields are ripe and ready to cut. Buckwheat is in good condi tion and blooming nicely; however some needs rain. Potatoes are growing well, wherever sprayed. Many late crops in the north are now in blossom. Digging of early crops is proceeding slowly in the First (cutting of hay is over. Second crop alfalfa and clover yields are fair to good. A few crops are short. Soybeans continue making rapid growth. The lack of moisture has caused some pastures to dwindle. All fruits are coming along nicely. More apples are showing up on trees as they add size. Early varieties of peaches are coloring and sizing satis factorily but some rot is appearing despite frequent spraying. Grapes have added much size. Many late fields of snap beans are now in bloom.
