Local Breeder of Winners
Explains Care of a Pup
CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK
CARE — If yur first thought in purchasing a puppy
is that the cellar is a nice place to raise him — do not
buy him. 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.

This was another favorable week
for field work and crop growth. 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. Cu-

to fields are being badly damaged by
aphids. Blight has appeared in many
localities but is fairly well controlled,
