To his bed especial attention must be paid. For a large part of the year nothing equals good straw; it is both warm and clean. It should be changed before it gets very short and broken up, when it packs and irritates the dog in many ways, and before it becomes saturated with emanations from the animal's skin, when it is unhealthy and harbors vermin. Pine shavings make a good summer bed, but are apt to cling to the dog when he leaves his resting- place. Some disinfectant beneath the bed tends to preserve it sweet and to keep away vermin. In tlie lowest animals there is no distinction of sexes, and reproduction of the species is maintained by division of existing forms, one becoming two or more separate individuals. Among the invertebrates the two sexes are in many groups united in one individual, a common ex- ample of which is the tape-worm. In all vertebrates the sexes are distinct, and copulation or its equivalent is the rule. Both male and female furnish their quota to the new being. To expMn more fully, in the higher verte- brates—e. g., in the dog tribe—the female organs of gen- eration at definite periods undergo changes consequert on a special accumulation of energy, resulting in the matura- tion in the ovary of eggs (<wa), which ar
