Text Appearing Before Image:
thful, affectionate dog, that comes far awaydown the road and welcomes our return to the home,what of his ancestry 1 Our intelligent horse, that knows our footstep audneighs a signal of friendly recognition when we approach,what of his nativity ? The friendly puss, that purrs away a contented andhapp3 existence on the sofa near us, whither did it ctnne ? The multiplied breeds of horses ; the numerous kindsof cattle, sheep and swine ; the wide variety of dogs, cov-ering the range from the minute black-and-tan to thestrong St. Bernard ; the indefinite number of fowls, fromthe tiny bantam to the stately cochin ; the many varietiesof pigeons, from the pretty tumbler and the proud fan-tail to the fulM)rcasted pouter and the swift-flying car-rier; the brilliantly colored pcac<ick, the graceful swan.the sweet singing canary—animals and birds we seearoumi us each day, yet of which we know but little—what of them? To answer these questions are given the sketches on llifsucceeding pages.
