(By TED KESTING)
This time of year dogs require special care. Bodily cleanliness and
sanitation around the kennel house and yard are absolutely essential
to a dog’s health. Parasites of all kinds thrive during the hot summer
months, and particular care must be taken (during this period if the
dog’s comfort and well-being are to be insured.
The development of DDT has about solved the flea problem, but
care should be exercised in its use. Sprays of five per cent strength
are highly recommended. Derris powder is especially effective in the
control of external parasites, according to Henry P. Davis, dog editor
for Sports Afield magazine.
Clipping your tdog will make him feel cooler but it will also make
him more vulnerable to insects—and he may get badly sunburned.
Davis mever recommends clipping long-haired dogs. He prefers to
“atrip’’ them with a stripping or plucking knife. This removes the
dead hair, thins out the underpinning, but leaves an adequate coat
for protecton.
Be sure your dog has a fresh supply of water at all times, and
plenty of shade. If you have no natural shade, plant sunflowers in
the kennel yard. They are Cast-growing plants an)d make excellent
Shade.
'Where is no real need to keep your hunting dog idle during the
summer. It is neither pleasing to him, nor to >nis advantage. His
muscles become soft, his keen ambition fades, and he is prone to for
get some of the lessons he has learned in g: ame-handling manners.
This period offers the hunting dog owner wonderful opprtunities for
training and conditioning, in preparation for the open season ahead.
The pointing dog and spaniel fanciers can devote the late afternoons
to yard-training lessons and to brushing up on the retrieving depart
ment. For the retriever owner, summertime is the best period to in
troduce youngsters to work in waiter. Cool, damp summer evenings
offer the hound man an opportunity to give his dogs much-needed
exercise and trailing experience by turning them loose on drag races.
The coon hunter can use the drag races to good effect too.

high school.
From Bin. CheUlo Spelce, Fste,
fexas: I remember when I was in
school in 1900 the water bucket
was passed around to the pupils
on hot afternoons. We all drank
from the same dipper. There were
no pencil sharpeners. We used the
boys’ pocket knives to sharpen
pencils.
We used our chewing gum over
and over again by sticking it un
derneath the desks during study
periods only to take it out to
chew it at the recess periods.
Boys wore knee pants and girls
wore dresses well below the
knees. Both boys and girls wore
long black stockings which were
changed once a week. The boys
sat on one side of the room and
the girls on the other. Punishment
for e grave offense was to have the
boys sit with tbm girls or yidi
versa. Fastidious girls took soapy
