Training
BY L. J. BROSE MER
Director Chsppen Kennel Foundation
YourDog
NUMBER THREE

A TRAINED dog is worth all the
n time and effort you give him.
The dog approaches nearest of all
dumb animals to understanding the
moods of man. He knows when you
are glad and when you are sad. His
tail tells you he knows and dogs
tail is the most expressive thing in
the world.
Our next point is in teaching the
dog not to eat food at any other
place than his regularly appointed
eating dish
There are still some so-called hui
man beings who purposely put out
poisoned food for dogs, cats and the
like. Unfortunately, the laws, do
not provide penitentiary sentences
for these Wretches.
The wise course is to train your
dog to refuse food offered by stran-
gers and to teach him to avoid eat
ing at any time and place.
A Well-fed dog is usually dis
posed TO attend to his own affairs.
You therefore can save yourself a
lot of grief by feeding him good
wholesome food regularly at ap-
pointed times each day, at the same
place and in the same utensils.
EIRST, take your dog outside
i Place a tempting morseI lust
in front of him. CBe sure to do
this soon after he has eaten his
regular meal) Of course, he will
lurch forward to seize it.
Command mix" f1ercely. This
may not stop him. Hit him, not at
all severely and command Nix"
It must be emphasized here that
a dog never should be struck on
the head, muzzle, or across the loins.
To do so is likely to injure his hear
ing, his sight, or his kidneys.
A dog seldom needs chastising and
always should be struck on the
shoulders or the hindquarters.
Next, let stranger offer the
tempting morsel. Repeat the pun
ishment. Then walk with him
through an alley and let him run
loose.
Keep near him, and the instant
he moves to take up a piece of re-
fuse Or garbage, command mix"
and move toward him.
A ND now just a word about bark
1 n ing. Most dogs do not need
to be taught to speak, but our les
son is intended to teach him to
bark on command.
The command is Speak" 1t
should be given to him in an en-
treating voice, Speak, Spot"
It should not be spoken roughly.

The Indians new center fielder,
Howard Fitzgerald, showed to adj
vantage Thursday and raped the
horsehide for numerous line drives.
He is a rangy fly-chaser, unassun-
ing and apparently all set to be-
come a mainstay IN the American
Association.
He seems to possess natural abil-
ity to get going the instant the ball
is driven to his territory. Further
more, Howard knows how to bunt,
and Manager Corriden made a wise
move by placing him second in the
batting order.

1t is too early to say Montague will
be superior to Rabbit Warstler in
the infield, but at the plate the
guess would be that Montague will
hit better in the American Asso-
citation.
