Dog Brooder of Chicks,
j Spokane, Wash., Dec. 6.—
“Pat," a water spaniel, owned
by Mr. and Mrs. William L.
Wright of Spokane, and winner
of a bushel of cups and trophies
at interstate bench shows, has
served as a brooder for more
than 200 orphaned chicks dur
ing the last 12 months. The an
imal has proven an excellent
guardian for the chicks, but will
have nothing whatever to do
with ducklings and goslings.
“Pat” does not desert his charg
es after they crawl out of the
shells, but tends to them with
all the care of a mature hen.
The dog has defended scores of
chicks from attacks by hawks
and predatory animals, at one
time killing a large cougar,
which went to the hennery in
search of a choice morsel.
“Pat’s’ favorite son “Mike," of
a litter of seven, declines to
brood, probably holding that a
blue-bloodea dog is above the
poultry industry. Both animals,
however, do many little chores
arouna tne nouse. rai ctur
ries home the groceries and
newspapers and can hold his
own with a pack of hungry wild
cats.
Don’t Be Deceived.
Sometime ago we selected the
brand of White Rose for our
flour. The flour put up under
the brand of Olathe White Rose
is absolutely the very highest
grade of flour manufactured by
any mill in the United States.
Since we advertised under this
brand other merchants have got
ten the same brand for a cheap
flour. We have the mill quota
tion on this flour which is $3.60
per barrel or 45c per sack.
Please don’t get the White Rose
confused with the Olathe White
Rose. Taggart Gro. Go.
