FIND DOG'S FOOD
HABITS ACQUIRED
AND NOT INBORN
Does Not Require Fresh
Meat to Stay Healthy,
Authority State
Dog owners who arciefirful for
the health of their pets because
of the current scarcity and high
prices of fresh meat are reassured
by Harry Miller, director of the
Gaines Dog Research Center, New
York City.
The dog's welfare does) foot re
quire that he consume fresh meat,
he states. Dogs will do as well or
better on -popular brands of pre
pared dog foods of which there is
an ample supply in groceries and
which contain in balanced nutri
tious form all the proteins, fats,
carbohydrates and the essential
vitamins and minerals that meat
does not provide.
As a matter of fact, he says,
the situation today as regards dog
food is not unlike that experi
enced during the war yean. With
little fresh meat and no canned
dog foods available, millions of
aogs were Kept on prepared dry
dog foods, and they came through
in the best physical condition
they had ever been in.
"Lean Bed Meat" Myth
It is erroneous to assume that
dogs always prefer raw meat to
any other lood, according to Mr.
Miller. Appetite is an acquired,
not an inborn quality, and fust as

Coyote stalking sheep
Eskimos with their raw fish and
-Pygmies with their ants and cater
pillars have food habits different
than our own, so do dogs, under
domesticated conditions, accept
and eat the most diverse kinds of
foods as long as they supply the
required! nutrients. In fact, ani-
mals raised in laboratories on
'Synthetic rations" hardly know
what to do with a bone or a piece
Of meat.
The feeding habits of the oov-
qte, who is probably the closest
: American wild cousin of the dog,
are a case in point,1' Mr. Miller
states, "when the eoyote stalks and
kills a sheep, for instance, he
doesn't go for the 'lean red meat
his victim offers. He makes in
stead for the viscera, wh,ere he
finds a combination pf animal pro
teins and the nourishing, partially
digested cereal foods that have
resulted from grazing. What the
coyote does by instinct man has
accomplished for dogs, through
science, by combining in prepared
dog food all the ingredients a dog
requires for complete nourish
ment" Life Span Increasing
Mr. Miller also points out that,
' again as in the case of humans,
the life-span of the dog has in-
creased tremendously in the last
25 yean the exact period during
which prepared dog foods have
come into popular use. Countless
dogs today live to the age of 11 or
12, whereas not so long ago it
was uncommon for a dog to sur
vive beyond 7 or 8 years. One
dog died recently at the unheard
of age of 26 the equivalent of
1SS . human years and to his
dying day his meals consisted of
prepared dog food of a dry va
riety. There is little doubt the av
erage life-span of dogs today
would be even longer than it is
but for the high mortality from
car accidents, which snuff out the
lives of thousands of dogs annu
ally In the prime period of their
existence, he states.

In 1947 over 10 billion feet of Southern Pine lumber was
produced, an increase of approximately 7 percent over 1946
production.
From 1941 to 1945, during the life of the OPA, Southern
Pine production dropped from 10.3 billion feet a year to 7.2
billion feet a year.
Abont one half of the total output of Southern Pine pro
ducts are made by small, portable mills employing from six
to ten men.
A gallon of water must be removed by seasoning from
a single floor Joist for an average sized room before it is ready
for the final manufacturing process.
The largest producers of lumber in the nation account for
only five percent of the total lumber production.
There are only about two hundred actual working days in
the average Southern Pine sawmill, due to the high average
rainfall throughout the South, which curtails operations.
