Every parent will testify to this great

THE USE OF THE ROD RECON-

A study of man through examinations

Washington scientist and philosopher.

and it would seem that good whipping
IS often the best way to cure this defect.
Tenderness is excellent in most children,
but there are certain natures on whom
it is wasted because they simply abuse

says, they can make it almost what
they will If they gave as much time
and patience to the nurture of their
children as they do to society business,
amusement and pets. much of the evil
and crime in the world might cease.
Unless children are brought up and
trained WELL and those provided for
who have no proper home, there is little
probability Of making the world better.
We must place the knife and fork in

in remonstrances spd petitions to the
powers that be for tho enactment OF

A Hunter Tells the Sun Where
i'm is the Trouble.
Says That the Dogs That are Allowed
to Run Loose are to Blame
for the Scarcity.
TELLS HOW TO REMEDY IT
The Editor of The Sun:

The Editor OF The sun:
More complaint is yearly heard
about the scarcity Of game and shorter
time allowed to hunt quail in Ken
lucky and sportsmen kick about peo-
pie hunting out of season. Our sports
men want q game warden and license
to hunt, also want the state to make
new laws to protect the quail which
is about Ell there is left to hunt just
at presc, time. And there appears
no way o1s OF the trouble.
In Western Kentucky within two or
three years the quail will be some
thing of the past. This is fact. The
trouble is that we have ton many dogs
and most especially bird dogs and half
breeds. These dogs ere hunters and
hunters only. They love the sport as
we'll as any enthusiastic gunner. They
also love the game just ~ we'll. il not
better than man, and il allowed to
hunt at their will, they will steal
away from home and hunt whenever
they have o chance. Some owners al
low them oil the chances they want,
especially in the wrong time, the
breeding season. Good hunting dogs
should be confined in kennels more SO
at that season than any other time.
Some city hunters board their dogs
in the country in the summer time
and they are allowed to run at large.
This is where the kick comes in. They
devour all kinds Of game and fowls
that they find and catch. and one dog
will kill more birds in one week than
all our sportsmen can find in whole
season. They will eat the young
birds before they can fly, eat the eggs
and possibly the old quail on her nest.
This is why our dogs are stubborn
about making good stands. They want
to get their mouths on the game. We
hear hunters say, my dogs don't run
at large" Well, maybe he is not with
his dogs all the time.
We also hear hunters say, "My dog
won't eat birds" Well no, not when
you are with him. When he 10 with
You he has sense enough to know bet
ter.
But when he is out alone in breed
ing season he has sense enough to
know that he is free.
If our gun club can get laws to thin
out the thousands Of half breeds and
ours of hunting stock and force good
dogs to be kept in kennels at this crit
ical breeding season, of the quail, it
would be better than having a regular
hunting season. Our hunters may
possibly see an advantage by taking
more care of their dogs. II is to be
hoped SO anyway. q. e. 8.
