IT n I/ \ one of tho afternoon Now a Jersoy paper* under tho head ? ? of "Boarders Wanted" a D couple of ilnys ago which read that clogs and bird* were boarded on a farm on West RfdiS nvehne. West Side ave- * into ia located on the far aide of the Height* in Jersey City, iu tho newly 1 lettled aectiou. The boarding houae is C located on a rich /arm of about fifteen teres and about two hundred feot from y\ he uveuuo. All through the grounds me can ace newly-painted dog houses, ind aa far ua the oyo ean reach dogs of p til kiuda are aeen, some tied to their c touses, others tied to trees and somo funning loose. _ n In a lot which is sot apart for this Hl particular purpose are rows of neat ittio houses, used as cat houses. Tho Nits are allowed to run loose during j. ;he day, but when night comes thoy of iheir own accord return to their repetitive homes. Each cat lias a house Cl if its own, and after a stay of three c r four days on the farm all learn their duces perfectly. w One would imagine thnt where thoro tl ire so many dogs and cats in such lose proximity frequent fights would n iccur, and it is not at nil unlikely that j, ueli things do happen. Tho proprioor of this dog, eat and bird farm H itoutly denies this, howover, and ilaiuis that tho animals mingle tofether and have never been known to Iglit. There is also a long building r' or birds. Hanging from hooks were 1' ibout sixty cages eoiitaitiing liirds of ill sorts. They are hung high enough f' o prevent the cats, which livo close a iv. from iuterferiiur with them. Nor h tliis all,for as you eoiuo out through r ho door of Iho bird Iiouhc you are j< mil flouted by an immense sign which t endsr "Horses pastured and colts laudh'd with enro." ^ Upon inquiry it was found that j liorses wore taken for the summer and rolts wore broken. If there was any other sort of animal hat required care it is very prohahlo " hat it, too, would bo found there. j I'lio farm is owned and conducted by ii nutu named William Welsh, a short, tubby, good natured man who enjoys 1 I "I Ii u tli e secrets of his peculiar busi- I ( licss. 1 "About ten years ago," Mr. Welsh said, "when I had just landed in this ' country, 1 heard a friojul of mine wou- ' dor why somebody didn't have just ^ mi eh a plaee as I have here. 1 thought tlie matter over for several weeks, aud 1 filially approached iny wifeon the sub- i ji.'et. She did not appear to bo very i entliusiastie at first, but I finally provailed upon her to try it, so when tho j summer season began I had everything ! in re a linens and advertised my busi- j ness. The selteiue was entirely now then and did not take very well, but I j managed to get a sullieiont number of dogs and birds tlm first year to eonvinoo mo that there would be mouey in it in the end.

I "Von know that tlio erazo for pet i dogs, birds iiml eatsis increasing every ( day, and as a eoiisecpietico there aro wealthy I t mi lies here in Jersey City wlio apparently think as mneh of their ( pots as they th> of their children. | Whim *ho\ go away for t ho summer, ns ^ they genera IJ \ do, they want to fool | that their pets are well eared for."

The Ural tiling in the morning my son I leorgo takes the dogs, ten at a time and as many more as wo know do not need watching, and goes down to the lliuvkensaek Itiver and gives them their bath.

"Do you ever lose any of your boarders through theft or escape?" "Well, occasionally a dog will run away, hut we usually find him. As to having a dog toleu, 1 guess not. Any trani]i or thief who would ilare to eome in hen- at night, amid the noist that the dogs would make would be deserving of a better fate than he would undoubtedly meet. - New York Advertiser. \u Kibieaied Snake.
