In shipping dogs, great care should be taken, as there is much liability to danger and sickness. Whether a puppy or a grown dog, he should always be put in a tight box, with open slats on top, and an opening three inches wide around the upper side of the box, with plenty of room, so that the dog can stand up and move around. Have plenty of bedding in the box and a water can in one corner of it, close up to the top. Put two cross pieces on the bottom, so that the dog will be up off of the floor; then bore a few holes in the bottom, under the watering can, so that any water spilt from the can will leak out and not wet the bedding. Always put a handle on each end of the box, so that it can be easily handled, and see to it that no draft can go through the box, to avoid the danger of the dog lying in it and so taking cold. In shipping a dog a long distance, put plenty of dog biscuits in the box and always give a light feed before you ship him.

An offensive breath in either dog or cat is often caused by a bad condition of the kidneys. Procure a small bottle of "Harlem Oil." costing ten cents, from any druggist. For a small cat or dog, give five drops on a little sugar; for larger dogs, eight to ten drops. Repeat once or twice a week. Harlem Oil is also a fine remedy for matterated eyes.

Directions for Use. - Drop one drop in each eye twice a day, morning and evening.
