Most of you boys who live in the
country have dogs. Have you ever
tried to train them, beyond the throw
ing of sticks for them to bring back,
and few such tricks as standing on
their hinG legs, or barking for some
thing to eat?
AS boy, back in the country, was
the owner of a number of dogs, at vari-
Gus times, and until was pretty we'll
grown, this was usually the extent of
my training. And my friends who had
dogs trained theirs in about the same
way. Possibly some of you have bright
dogs that are capable Of knowing much
more than they do. If so, the follow
ing general directions, learned by ex-
perience, may be Of use.
First of ALL teach your dog that you
mean exactly what you say, and that
he must obey you. To do this, you
should never give foolish command;
but if thoughtless order be once
given, even though you repent it as
soon as it has escaped from your lips,
do not hesitate, but insist on your pu-
pH instantly obeying-that is, IL the
dog, in your judgment, understands
the order.
Never under any circumstances al
low him to shirk, and even a naturally
stupid pup will learn to look upon your
word as law and not think of disobey.
ing.
Strict obedience to your word whistle
or slightest gesture once obtained, it
is an easy matter to finish the dogs
education. Bear in mind that there is
about as great a difference in the char.
acter and natural intelligence of dogs
as there is in boys. Not only does this
exist between the distinct varieties of
dogs, but also between the different in.
dividuals of the same variety. All
Newfoundland possess similar char.
acteristics; but each individual varies
considerably in intelligence, amiability
and all those little traits that go to
make up dogs character.
1t is we'll for you to understand this
fact, that you may not be disappointed
or make your poor dog suffer because
1t cannot learn as fast as some one you
may know of. And let it be impressed
upon your mind that to make your dog
obey or to teach it the most difficult
trick or feat, it is rarely necessary to

ITO put 1t briefly, the crops along
our line are splendid" AT the pres
ent time the condition of the crops
throughout the territory is the best
that We have ever known" Unless
all signs fail, Kansas will produce the
largest wheat crop in the history of
the state. Oklahoma is equally
blessed, and harvest is exceeding all
expectations and applies to all crops
grown" The Texas Panhandle will
harvest the best crops of all kinds
ever known. California is not behind
the states farther East"
Reports such as these have been
pouring in from railroads and banking
houses In the western country week
after week for the past two months,
and as each day has brought the har-
vest nearer the truth Of the forecasts
has been emphasized. Great crops,
with the ever-increasing demand that
exist for them, mean great business,
and railroads and manufacturers and
storekeepers-all the channels of
trade-are making ready to handle it.
I'VE never faced a more encourag-
Ing season than the one upon which
we are about to start" says the vice
president and general manager of a
large eastern concern. I'VE have
heard from every section of the coun-
try during the past six weeks and the
communications have all been of the
same tenor-'There never were such

large, but, however much you may dis
count them, one cannot escape the
conclusion that there is large virgin

| is very probable that the first birds he
brings will be badly "mouthed"-that
is, bitten and mangled. To break him
of this, prepare ball of yarn SO wound
over pins that the slightest pressure
will cause the points to protrude and
prick any object pressed against the
ball.
After the dog has pricked his mouth
once or twice with this ball, he will
learn to pick it up and carry it in the
most delicate manner. He may then
be tried again with bird. This time
! he will probably bring it to you with
out SO much as rumpling feather;
but If, Notwithstanding his experience
with the ball Of pins, your dog still

bird and arrange the ball and pins in

upon light pressure. Make dog

With pointers and settlers, at first
you will have to give your commands
by word Of mouth; but if you accom-
pany each command by an appropriate
gesture. the pup will soon learn to I'M
derstand and obey the slightest mo-
ton of the hand or head. The less
noise there is, the greater the chance
for game. Nothing Is more unsports-
manlike than shouting in loud voice
to your dog while in the field.
After teaching a dog to heel"
down CHARGE" and to "hie on" at
command, you may show him game
and teach him to quarter" his ground
by moving yourself in the direction
you wish the dog to go. The dog will
not be long in understanding and obey
ing.
When your pointer comes to a point,
teach him to be steady by repeating
softly, STEADY, boy, steady" at the
same time holding up your hand. In
| course Of time the words may be omit
ted; the hand raised as caution will
keep the dog steady; but should he
break point and flush the game, as a
young dog Is more than liable to, you
may give him the whip and at the
same time use some appropriate words
that the dog will remember. The next
time the words without the whip will
correct him.
After your dog has been taught to
obey, it is we'll to put him in the field
with an old, well-trained dog.
AS every sportsman has a peculiar
system of his own for breaking dog,
it is scarcely necessary to give more
than these few hints; only let me eau
ton you once more against using the
whip too often. Spare the lash and
keep good stock of patience on hand.
Otherwise in breaking the dog you
will also break his spirit and have a
mean, treacherous animal that will
stink and cringe at your slightest look,
but seldom obey you when he thinks
he is out of reach Of the dreaded whip.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1914-10-23

use the whip. If the dog, as he will
sometimes do, knowingly and willfully
disobeys. the whip may be used spar
ingly.
One sharp blow is generally suffi-
cient, and it should be accompanied
with reprimand in words. Never lose
your patience and beat the animal in
anger. To successfully train dog, it
Is necessary to place the greatest re-
straint upon your own feelings; for If
you once give way to anger the dog
will know it, and one-half your influ-
ence is lost. To be sure, the special
line of education depends upon the
kind of dog you have and what you
want him to do.
You may commence to teach the
pointer or setter to stand" at a very
early age, using first a piece of meat
praising and pettins him when he does
we'll and reprimandins him when re.
quired. Do not tire your pup out; but
if he does we'll once, lei him play and
sleep before trying again.
AS he grows older, replace the meat
with a dead bird. The best sportsmen
of today do not allow their dogs t. re
trieve, saying that the mounting" Of
the dead and bloody birds affects the
| fineness of their noses. To bring in
birds, the sportsman has following al
his heels a cocker spaniel, large
