Book excerpt: Excerpt from Home Life in All Lands, Vol. 3: Animal Friends and Helpers In the earlier volumes of this series, man, as the maker of and dweller in the home, was dealt with in the varied aspects of his existence. But man is not the only occupant of the home. He has brought around him an interesting family of animals of great variety in form and habit, many of them kept as pets and companions, many aiding him in his sports and his labors, others supplying him with meat, milk, butter, eggs and other forms of food. It is a varied and active sub-family of the household, the barnyard and field with which we here propose to deal, its inmates varying in size from the lordly elephant to the busy bee, and in intelligence from the wide awake dog to the stupid sheep, a multitude of running, ying, and swimming forms brought together from every domain of nature and serv ing man in a hundred ways.
