\ 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. We just about elearod
expenses the first season, and when ;
.i . <

"Ihil why ilo people want to board j
their dog, oat or bird, us the ease may
be?" I
"Von know that tlio erazo for pet i
dogs, birds iiml eatsis increasing every (
day, and as a eoiisecpietico there aro

wlio apparently think as mneh of their (

they genera IJ \ do, they want to fool |
that their pets are well eared for."
"Ih> not so many dogn and other
animals make an immon.su amount of |
work ?"
i
"Of eourse there is lots of work attaohoil
to I lie business, but we manage
it all right. 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. After they
have been washed with it carbolic preparation
which I use they return to
their houses uial u second lot is taken
to t he river ami tilt- nitiite ihing in done

they are here. If any of my boarders

"How many hoarders have you here
now V"
"Well, at pri sent there are eightyone
dogs, si.\i \ eats ami I tliiuk 2 M)
hinls. Kor the dogs we get from $8
to 10 per mouth, for the eats
ami for the birds S-.7~> per month.
The horses and eolts wo make special
arrangements for."
"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

The size and color of hat has a
marked effect on the apparent stature
