How a Dog Should Be Fed.

The puppy, when just weaned, should be fed four, five, or even six times a day, and from two months to four months of age, four times; after that three times, to the age of nine to twelve months, according to the breed —the smaller varieties reaching maturity soonest; after that twice a day is enough, a full meal being given each time, until maturity is reached. Regularity as to time is important in feeding, both because it assists health and is a considerable help in inculcating orderly and cleanly habits. Minute calculations have been made as to the amount of food required by a dog, with the result of conflicting statements of opinion, ranging from one-twentieth to one-twelfth of his own weight per day, and it is often stated in this form one ounce of food for every pound the dog weighs. Experience convinces me that in the matter of quantity of food the scales are better dispensed with, using instead the dog’s appetite as the correct measure; I therefore always advise that a dog should have as much at a meal as he will eat freely, and that when he stops to turn it over and pick out bits here and there, the dish should be removed. The composition and quality of food is the next point claiming consideration. In reference to the first point, I think it necessary to refer to theories propounded by Dr. Billings, veterinary surgeon, of Boston, Mass., in two lectures delivered in that city, and reproduced with apparent approval by that section of the American press which specially deals with canine matters. I have not the text before me, so cannot quote with verbal accuracy; but, briefly stated, Dr. Billings, founding his argument on the admitted fact that the dog is a carnivorous animal, declared he should be fed entirely on flesh, and even went so far as to say that farinaceous food was poison to the dog. The English practice for centuries—from the time of that excellent huntsman and discourser on dogs and their treatment, Edmund de Langley, of the early part of the fourteenth century, confirmed by such practical writers as Turberville and Ger vase Markham, of the sixteenth, Cox, Jacobs, and others, of the seventeenth, and all the masters of hounds, huntsmen, game-keepers, kennel men, and every other person who has kept a dog since—is dead against Dr. Billings’ theory, which, indeed, should rather be named a “crotchet.” For dogs there is no more wholesome food than the mixed scraps from the table, consisting of meat, bones, bread, and vegetables, and when there are more dogs kept than there are bones and scraps for, the broken victuals should be taken as the standard of the component parts of that which has to be further provided. In regard to pet dogs kept by ladies, the great mistake often made is to overfeed and feed too richly. It is a mistaken kindness to feed dogs on rich, fat-producing diet; and to give sugar and sweet cakes and puddings is to certainly destroy the powers of the digestive and assimilative organs; and anything that produces excessive fatness will bring on asthma, to which disease pugs and other short-faced pets are especially prone. Occasionally we meet with, in all breeds, a dog that is a dainty feeder. These have to be coaxed to eat, a little at a time being given, and a tonic of iron and quinine with gentian given daily for a week or two at a time.— Huge Dalziel, in Harper’s Magazine.

Good for Wheat.

To show the patriotic spirit animating the Territorial press we present a few items clipped from different papers during the past year: “There was a heavy fall of snow last night. This will make splendid sleighing for Christmas. It will also be good for wheat. ” “Although the Fourth of July occurs next week we have had no rain in this vicinity since last fall. People unacquainted with the climate might think this was a bad thing, but we can assure such that it is most excellent for the wheat.” “The wild geese are already seen flying south, and we will doubtless have an unusually early winter. This is gratifying, as it assures an excellent wheat crop next season. ” “A severe hailstorm passed over this region early in the -week just as the farmers were commencing to harvest. We must congratulate our readers, as nothing is better for wheat at this stage of its growth.” “The eclipse of the sun here on Tuesday was the cause of much rejoicing among our farmers. It helped the wheat crop fifty per cent. ” “An Eastern professor predicts that this country will be visited by great swarms of grasshoppers, as was the case a few years ago. We can but hope his prophecy may prove correct, as nothing will make wheat boom right up to fifty bushels an acre like grasshoppers.”—Estelline (Dak.} Bell. I kno ov a man whose sole ambition sentered on hiz bekoming justic ov the pece, and whoz- famely, when he did finally assume charg ov the skails of justic, became ov much importance, and didn’t forget tu brag ov it long after hiz turm ran out and when he waz in realiti ov no more akount tu the nation than a maskaline peakok on parade in a barn-yard iz tu man’s redemptyon.' This would seem to indikat that ambition iz az lible tu “set up” some people az hot whiski doz some fools.— Jud Lafagan, in Chicago Ledger. A leading citizen of Hagerstown, Md., Mr. George W. Harris, had suffered for some time with facial neuralgia and toothache, when he tried St. Jacobs Oil. He says: “It gave me instantaneous relief, and I consider it a wonderful remedy.”

There Are No Lead Pencils.

There is no lead pencil in existence to-day, and there have been none for more than forty years past. There was a time when a spirale of lead cut from the bar or sheet sufficed to make marks on white paper or some roughed abrading material. The name lead pencil pomes from the old no ion that the products of the Cumberland mines in England are lead, instead of being plumbago or graphite, a carbonate of iron, capable of leaving a lead-colored mark. With the original lead pencil or strip, and with the earlier styles of the lead pencil made direct from the Cumberland mines, the wetting of the pencil was a necessary preliminary of writing. But since it has become a manufacture, the lead pencil is adapted by numbers or letters to each particular design. There are all grades of hardness, from the pencil that can be sharpened down to a needle point to the one which cannot make other than a broad mark. Between these two extremes are a number of gradations which cover all the uses of the lead pencil. These gradations are made by taking the original carbonate and grinding and mixing it with a fine quality of clay, in different proportions, according to the quality of the pencil required to be produced. The mixture is made thoroughly and then squeezed through dies to form and size it, after which it is dried and incased in its wooden envelope.—New York Mail and Express.

A Multitude of Ailments.

The ailments which afflict the kidneys and bladder are so numerous, that merely to name them would fill a space far outrunning the limits of this article. Suffice it to say that they are both obstinate and dangerous. To their prevention Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is well adapted. The stimulus which it lends to the action of the kidneys when they are lethargic serves to counteract a tendency in them to lapse, first, into a state of pernicious inactivity, and afterwards into one of positive organic disease, which soon destroys their delicate integuments, poisons the blood, nnd causes death. A double purpose is served by this depurent. It promotes activity of the kidneys, and expels impurities from the blood which have no natural channel of outlet except those organs. Constipation, biliousness, fever and agu“, rheumatism, and dyspepsia, are also remedied by this medicine of thorough action and wide scope.

Home Study.

Cramming is cruelty. A score of things well learned are better than a thousand things half known. A few hours’ study a day makes a boy mentally healthy; too much study makes him top-heavy. A brain that is made alert by knowledge is a good thing, but a brain that is water-logged with poring over books is a very poor thing. Children should be made to study hard in school, but not a lesson should be learned at home. Emerson once said very tersely: “We are students of words, we are shut up in schools and colleges and recitation rooms for ten or fifteen years, and come out at last with a bag of wind, a memory of words, and do not know a thing.” Our present methods are defective, but we shall apply better ones by and by. The system of the future will have this fact in it, and all through it—that a boy is an out-of-doors animal, and ought not to do a man’s work until he acquires a man’s strength.— New York Herald. Prof. Chas. P. Williams, Ph. D., of Philadelphia, says there is neither morphia, opium nor minerals in Red Star Cough Cure. Price, twenty-five cents a bottle.

Paid Off in Installments.

“Where do your expect this moneyfrom?” asked a clerk in the money order department of the Postoffice of a woman who presented an order for sls. “From Chicago.” “And who from ?” “John Williams.” “Ahem. I guess it is all right.” “Oh, I know it is!” as she signed her name. “He used to be my husband. He offered me SSO if I would throw up all claim on him, and this is the second installment. I’ll probably get the rest in about two weeks.” — Detroit Free Press. Thousands of cures follow the use of Dr. Safe’s Catarrh Remedy. 50 cents. In Russia a man may appear as a witness in a lawsuit against his wife—if he has the grit to do so.— Chicago Ledger. “Better late than never,” but better never late when troubled with a cough or cold.

The best blood purifier and tonic known. 50 cents. “I’VE been doing some fine work,” as the prisoner discharged from the house of correction said. Ayer’s Ague Cure never fails to cure all diseases caused by malarial poisoning. Vesuvius is no pimple, and yet it is very frequently in a state of eruption. We believe Hall’s Hair Renewer has no equal as a remedy for scalp diseases. Extinguishing a lamp is like a small supper—it is a small blow-out Use Frazer Axle Grease, 'tis the best in the world—will wear twice as long as any other.

If Your Lungs Are Destroyed

do not expect that Dr. Piercs’s “Golden Medical Discovery” will make new ones for you. It can do much, but not impossibilities. If, however, you have not yet reached the last stages of consumption, there is hope for you. But do not delay, lest you cross the fatal line where help is impossible. The Discovery has arrested the aggravating cough of thousands of consumptives, cured their night-sweats and hectic fevers, and restored them to health and happiness. • A Massachusetts man has patented an adding machine for bookkeepers. No subtracting machine has been invented. Not necessary. “Close the door gently. And bridle the breath; I’ve one of my headaches— I'm sick unto death.* “Take ‘Purgative Pellets,’ They’re pleasant and sure; I’ve some in my pocket I’ll warrant to cure.” Dr. Pierce’s “Pleasant Purgative Pellets” are both preventive and curative. “I want an honest dollar!’’ exclaimed the politician. “Go to work, then," cried one of his hearers.— New Haven News.
