TEACHING DOGS BY EXAMPLE
Hunt Moles With Neatness
and Dispatch.

For the sake of the appearance Of
your lawn 1t Is not well to encourage
your dog to promiscuous digging for
ground moles, but If he shows any pro.
pensity for hunting these pests, you
may be able to teach him to catch
them with neatness and dispatch.
Moles are active usually In mid-morn-
ing and again in the afternoon, and II
at such times you approach a fresh
burrow. quietly, without jarring the
ground with your footballs, you will
probably see the stirring Of the turf
which indicates where the tunnel 10

Let the dog follow at your heel. You
can get within a couple Of feet Of the
mole without disturbing him; then
crush down the tunnel roof with your
foot to prevent a retreat, at the same
time driving In q spade and unearth-
ing the mole. Once OF the surface
he will be easy prey for the dog.
The point Of the foregoing is this:

Hatched by Water Bottle.

Mrs. w. II. Cross OF Salem, Ore,
had a setting Of eggs from a fine vari.
ETY. Of chickens. So happy was she in
their possession that she all but count
ed the chicks before they were
Matched. She was equally downcast,
naturally. when the hen, after IL days
Of careful setting, deserted the nest.
Mrs. Cross found the eggs before
they became chilled and placed them
In a box behind the stove in her liv-
ing room, Then she pondered quick
ly, for she was determined not to lose
the chickens, and the problem was
solved.
The hot-water bottle was requisi.
toned az a substitute for the recre-
ant hen. It was filled with tepid wa
ter and placed ' the eggs.
Then Mrs. Cross conferred with her
physician regarding the TEN.
perature at which the water should
be, kept. She followed instructions
to the letter, with the result that six
chickens were Matched from the orig.
