tho 1/ breeds of gimdogs in tlio field. Other vocations liad to 4>o found for thorn if they wore to retain their individuality. The (yockor, on Iho aido of size, appearance and temperament alone^ has all tho desirable qiialifications for lifo in the homo; hence


abundaitco of vitality’ , intelligence and a wealth of chcorincss and affection w’hicli iimkcs an almost irresistible appeal, pleasing to find that aUhougli “ fr has taken him from hia^ natural olemeut, that fow, if any of his inherent cliaractoris- tics havo boon destroyed. In fact, villa, town house, or country, tho Cocker is equallv ;it Iionio. ,Ho “ jits in ho has tho happy knack of doing w’hnt is expected of him. As i.s the ca.so w’itU sill dogs, it is best to tako a Cocker in hand at about six months old. Tho points to look for at this ago nro —compactnos.-j of body, a straight coat, well developed muzzle aiuf oar.s sot Ipw. At six months, the main charactoristics already rpferrotl to, sliould bo well advanced. Par- ticiilai: nltention to bo given to tbo straight­ ness of the logs, colouring of tho eyes,

Iherofore, must bo avoided otherwise, in­ stead of a lively, lovable companion, wo have a dog that is “ soft,” lazy and ill- tempered. "Women nro inclined* to spoil thoir dogs and tho giving of titbits and in- hetwoen-tinio snacks is ono of tho ways in which they pander to a dog’s cuphoard-lovo! Two regular feeds per diem must never bo exceeded—except in pnppyhood days when a maximum ol four is permissiblo. Tho lii.sL food can ho at breakfast time and tho second at midday’ or supper time. Easily digestible foodstuffs, contnining a full ([Uota of caihohydratos and protein aro essential to a Cocker’s well being. A diet of this description can be prepared in a, number of w’ays, but tho w’iso dog-ownor will follow tho oxnmplo sot hy hreodors and “ Vets.” where biscuit products aro used almost e.xclusiyoly*. Dog biscuiU are made in so many sizes, shapes and flavours that tho tastes of tho moat fastidious of animals


aro easily catered for. Containing, ns they do, whoaton cereals and meat, a dog is pro­ vided with a balanced ration, complete with
