Known to the Ancients.

The okapi, that strange animal a
short time ago discovered in Central
Africa by Sir Henry Johnstone, Is
now thought to have been known to
the ancient Egyptians. The old monu-
ments show so-called animal of set"
q desert quadruped varicusly supposed
to have been a fox, a muslrat, dog,
q camel and even a fabulous animal.
A study of the picture has convinced
some scientists that this creature was
the akapi, which early hunters ex-
terminated in Egypt.

monish him to be considerate.
While punishment times Is ne
~cessity, its use as whole Is unnec-
essarily comprehensive. There is no
doubt but that 1t is inflicted in most
casesl under a mistaken belief that 1t
SIS useful in forcing the dog to learn
what the trainer desires he should
learn and that it really accomplishes
the desired purpose. The idea, so ap-
piled, Is a mistaken one. Punishment
lever teaches a dog anything other
stbans in negative manner; that is
to say, it simply deters him from do
/; fhg icertain ssslings. 1t does not in the
least add to the dogs sum total Of
I knowledge in q developmental manner.
! For instance, If the dog is punished
for chasing rabbit he learns that
the act has painful associations which
are likely to again recur if the act
z Is repeated, and expecting this he for
(. bears chasing. The punishment does
/. not in the least teach him the reason
{; why he, must not chase, nor, indeed,
!; anything about chasing other than
! that the act results IN pain to himself.
! Itss a deterrent, and he understands
! nothing more concerning it. On the
other hand, IL he had not the natural
+ impulse, and inclination, no degree
1 of punishment would teach him how
( to chase rabbit or even to chase 1t at
all. From the dogs point of view,
! there is no wrong in chasing rabbit,
chicken or sheep, etc. They are his
natural prey; his delight in their pur-
! sui. is unbounded, he is following the
/ natural impulses Of his nature; it Is
Z his manner of obtaining the necessi-
/ ties of dog life; yet, If punished. he
yields. to superior force and desists.
There is no part Of a dogs education
in which punishment is Of any bene-
fit except asa corrective. The dogs
knowledge increases only from expe-
rience. The trainer cannot force his
own knowledge into the dog by vir-
tue of whip or spike collar. Even
when forcing dog to retrieve with the
later instrument, its value is purely
negative. It does not teach the dog
anything about retrieving.
When a dogs fears are aroused,
or when he is made needlessly to feel
uncomfortable, worried and uneasy,
his progress as pupil is slow. If the
lessons are made obnoxious to him,
1.-the trainer has succeeded in making
them things to be avoided or quickly
ended, rather than things which have

To-day a new schedule of prices
went into effect, which advanced
Early Rose potatoes, the old stand

to a price of 81 O2Ca LOS per bushel,
iu less quantity than car lots, and
this price is made to dealers who
must hanl them to their stores be.
fore the farmer can get his hands
upon them. This price is the high
est on seed potatoes in three years,
and dealers say that the end is not
yet.
1t is pointed out that there is not
only shortage of cars, but short
age of potatoes, there being very
few in storage, and that there are
thirty days of demand here, while
as the planting goes north there
will be sixty days more of planting,
sixty days of high and advancing
prices.
This advance is not alone on
Rose potatoes, but all others have
advanced, and the favorite Early
