Now it.must not be thought that dogs in carts are only to be scen now and then in Belgium. Quite the reverse, for the dog seems, especially in Brussels, to be the chief beast of burden. Here I mast state I think the loads put after the poor brutes are at times out of all reason too 'heavy. Brussels is in places deucedly hilly and steep, and to put 400, 500 or 600 pounds after a dog is too much of a || good thing. Again, the dogs are not '| overfed. The Flemish farmers are asa | rale very close livers. Most, ot them 'drink their coffee without milk, so as to be able! to convert the latter, which, of course, they produce, into King pold's coin, Now these fariners live on Are all ona ? ag Why | next to nothing, so we can imagine that uot?

Their bone is great for their bodies, and the feet seem to stand the strain well These dogs really take - the place of asses in Belgium, where few of the latter are seen. A good working dog fetches $35 .or "$10, and considering the aniount of work. he gets through he is not-a dear' at that sum. I saw several on sale in ion Brussels market on Sunday morning last. The working dog is generally of a sturdy build. [If an American or Eng- might be generally accepted as a defini- .tion of the appearance of the breed. All bakers use dogs for their carts.
