r.' Color of Coat No Index to Dog Temperament,
' Research Center Finds
Despite the fact that no animal
" hai been more closely associated
; with mankind , through the ages
than the dog, a large portion of
- the public, including many own'
era, still entertains a surprising
, number of fallacies pertaining to
dogs, states the Gaines Dog Re-
' search Center. New York City.
Old wives' tales and superstl
tions, handed down for genera-
ttons, are still firmly held to in
- many sections, notwithstanding
- the fact that scientific investiga
' tion has proven these stories to
be nothing more than amusing
bits of folk-lore, it says.
An amazine number of people
' .-" believe, for instance, that mongrels
. are smarter, healthier, braver ana
more loyal than pure-bred dogs.
There are undoubtedly a great
number of cross-breds which pos
sess all these attributes to a high
degree, but the supposition that
mixed parentage creates a superior
animal is ..absurd. Were this fact
'.; true, mongrels would be com
manding top prices as companions
. 'and guardians, while pure-breds
' would be a drug on the market
The belief that mongrels are
' hardier than pure-breds may have
come into being as a result of the
' fact that the average mongrel, if
injured or ill, is generally left on
his own to live or die, while the
'- owner of a pure-bred will usually
secure veterinary attention. It
'.' stands to reason that the pure
. bred dog, which has had good care
: and proper food from puppyhood
on, & likely to be the sounder
specimen than the cross-bred
which has grewn up on a catch
s as-catch-can basis. As for intelli
' ' gence, if .mongrels were smarts'
and more loyal, why are pure
breds used for guiding the blind,
serving with the armed forces, and
. carrying on rescue work?
A belief common in many places
is that the color of a dog's coat
indicates his temperament and
character. One theory is that red
-. (reddish-brown, really) dogs are
inclined to be savage and aren't
to be trusted. Another opinion
holds that certain heavy dark
markings on a hound indicate su
r perior hunting ability. The color
of his coat hasn't the slightest re
lation to a dog's disposition. There
- are just as many gentle, friendly,
gent dogs with red coats as

of any other color, and dark spots
and markings on a hound only" in
dicate that he is descended from
ancestors carrying heavy color
patches nothing more.
Besides holding unreasonable
ideas about the dogs themselves,
many people also have strange
notions about the proper care of
their dogs. One of tile most per
sistent is that a lump of sulphur
placed in his drinking water ben
efits a dog's health. Many, virtues
such as that it acts as a water
purifier, exterminates worms, im
parts glossiness to the coat, "cools
the blood," etc -are ascribed to
this nractice. Science does not sub
stantiate any of this. As a matter
of chemistry, sulphur is insoluble
in water and a piocs. 01 wood in
the drinking bowl would do just
as much good.
Many times a friend or neighbor
will remark to the; owner of an
dog has a good home." The dog
may have a loving home, but cer
tainly not a -wise one, for a fat,
over-fed dog's chances for a long
life are materially reduced. He is
being killed with misplaced kind
ness. The dog whose owner regu
lates the feedings so as to keep
the animal in "good flesh" (trim,
but not boney) willbe a happier
and healthier pet than the wad
dling, wheezy canine whose owner
insists on feeding him too wen.
The manirn, "A lean horse for a
long raee," holds equally true for
dogs, according to the Research

Q. How can I treat a calf that
has scours?
A. Scours are caused by spoiled
feed or infectious germs;, therefore
it is first important to remove the
cause. The stall should be disinfec
ted, and milk" and other feed cut
down. Give 1 to 2 ounces of castor
oil in one-half pint pf warm sweet
"milk. For-cases that castor oil will
not cure, give a heaping tablespoon
of equal parts of .Bismuth Subni
trate and Salol in one-half, pint
of sweet milk or water three times
a day. .
