TRAINING DOGS.
Kindness and Forbearance More Effective
Than Brutal Cruelty.

Kindness and Forbearance More Effective
Than Brutal Cruelty.
"All dogs" remarked Mr.. c. G.
Hough, an experienced trainer, ''can
not be taught precisely the same kinds
of tricks. For example, you would
hardly expect mastiff to sit up or walk
down street with roguish smile on his
face, pipe in his mouth and a hat on
his head tipped much to one side, but
this is just what you would expect of a
poodle. 1t may be that there are some
very intelligent-looking animals that it
would be almost impossible to teach,
but these are very few. Dogs generally
take great delight in learning and in
being considered clever, and they soon
learn not only to please their masters,
but to please their own canine vanity
as we'll. Now, unless you love your
dog, and he loves you, and you can put
yourself in accord, as it were, with his
mind, through the medium of that af-
lection, you will utterly fail
in teaching him single
accomplishment worthy of a name.
1t is a great mistake to suppose that the
whip is essential to the government and
regulation of these animals. They are
too often abused by their teacher when
it is his own error. To whip puppy
ten minutes after he has committed an
error would be absurd, as his latent
natural instinct is almost lost for the
time being, but if he is punished the in
slant the fault is committed, he at once
recognizes the cause of the punishment
On no account will it do to whip him
more than once day, for if you con-
tinue to lash him his instincts become
mixed and he remains the same as
when his schooling commenced, except
that he will be cowed. Every animal
which possesses an average quantity OF
good sense and temper is so eager to
please that he will exert himself to the
utmost to obtain the good will of his
master, and if this fact were kept in
mind there would seldom arise die
mand for corporal punishment. Three
out of every five dogs may be complete
lv trained without blow. Patience and
forbearance are virtues that must be
studied, and while giving lessons the
trainer should never lose his tenn
per, as no amount of forced work ia
of any use. While the trainer is pa
tient, kind and forbearing, he must
also be persistent and firm. A puppy
should have but one teacher, no matter
how close the methods of two trainers
may agree. Another secret of sue
cess on the part of the teacher is to
speak distinctly and slowly. He should
always use precisely the same intona-
ton of voice, the same look and mo-
tons, as well as the same words, as
dogs often go good deal by this. ]
would have no hesitation in undertake
ing to train a clever dog entirely by
the dumb show method, and would pre-
fer setter or pointer trained in this
way, as they are then more easily
ruled without a noise in the field.
Quite a variety of tricks may be taught
them, and the wiser they are and the
wiser they look the more teachabla
they will be- ''-Indianapolis Journal.

Use Your Ashes.

Ever farmer has more of less ashes
every year. Many just allow them to be
thrown out without making any effort
to use them to the best advantage Old
bones. hats and shoes are allowed to 90
to waste, while if they were gathered
up, the bones broken up and all dis
solved, it would make an extra good
fertilizer for special crops. Very few
farmers make any special effort to save
poultry manure or to utilize house
waste, when they are the very best fer
tilizers we can possibly secure, and
could be saved and used to the very best
advantage. One of the principal items
in good farming is, as much as possible.
to increase the fertility of the soil, and
this can only be secured by turning
every thing of value as a fertilizer to
the best advantage. Chemical Fsrta-

The Indian witnesses before the
United States Court at Yankton were
paid off recently. The Press and
Dakotoian say that they declined to have
anything to do with gold or paper
money, being irrevocably welded to the
silver and nickel theory. They also in
sisted upon equal quantities Of dollars,
halves, quarters, dimes and nickels.
After concluding business at the bank,
where their checks were cashed, they
went out among the stores and invested
their earnings in trunks, valises and
umbrellas, and articles of wearing ap-
parel, which always capture the un-
tutored mind.

Telegraph Poles.

In England the Norway spruce is
employed, known we believe in the En-
glish lumber market as ''deal."
Larches, of English growth, formerly
employed, were found sadly wanting in
durability. In America cedar is used
where they can be had tall and cheap
enough, but nothing is found better than
chestnut, cost and durability both con-
sidered. Ten or fifteen years is the
average duration of an American tele-
graph pole. The English are talking of
iron posts. though it is conceded they
cost four-fold those of wood.-Gdrde,a-

R. L. Judge, while out hunting
near Spoonville, Ga. the other day
heard what he thought was the gobble
of wild turkey. He crept toward the
sound, saw what he was sure was big
gobbler and fired. Thereupon, with a
yell, a negro, who had been trying to
call up wild turkeys by initiating their

streaming from his head, where the shot
from Judges gun had hit him. The

FEEDING FOR FAT.

A Dangerous Undertaking Which Ere.
quently Goes Astray From It's Mark.
Obesity is disease, and one of the
most fatal, for it is only a question OF
time when the vital functions become
arrested by the enormous load Of fat
which interferes with their muscular ac-
ton. Fat is deposit in or among the
tissues of oily matter from the blood.

It is readily seen that the addition of
hydrogen to starch produces cane sugar,
and further addition of these elements
produces grape sugar. This is made
more plain by comparison of the fol-
lowing formulas of these substances:
