Never look a dog directly in the
eyes when you are attempting to
teach him a trick. This is particu-
larly good advice to follow with a
hunting dog that is being trained to
fetch" or retrieve. If you do look
dog directly In the eye under these
circumstances it seems to upset the
animal and take his mind of the
job at hand. 1t also applies to any
dog being trained or being taught
tricks.
The next time you are playing
with your dog look him "in the eye"
and notice his reactions. With some
dogs its effect is stronger than in
others but with all dogs it seems to
have a hypnotizing effect.
Canned milk Is an ideal food for
puppies. It more closely resembles
a mother dogs milk than does ordi-
nary cows milk. Diluted with water,
it can be fed young orphan puppy
being raised on bottle. When a
pup is being weaned from its mother,
canned milk also is very useful. In
fact, I have found 1t almost in
dispensible as an item in young
dogs diet. Finely chopped beef
mixed with small amount of
canned milk Slightly diluted with
water makes an ideal food to give
any pup between the ages Of 6 and
10 weeks.
In certain sections Of the country,
dog poisoners have become rather

undoubtedly one of the worst GRIM
inal types.
A dog taught not to eat food other
than that given him by his owners is
protected against falling the victim
of a dog poisoner. How can you
teach your dog not to touch stray
food? Here's a method that is quite
successful: Secure a few ordinary
mouse traps, bait them with raw

It is good, at times, to get out and
see what other people are doing.
And SO, we left our 10 Virginia acres
a few days ago-left the front field
unfinished, the grass not yet planted
and the corn uncut-to visit with
Gov. Dewey at his Pawling IN. Y)
dairy farm.
The Governor had come down
from Albany to meet with American
farm writers before starting his
Western campaign tour. 1t seemed
to me that he took considerable
pride in showing the accomplish
ments he had made on his 486-acre
farm.
The Dewey farm is not a show
place, in the strict sense of the WORD
1t is working farm. The buildings
though neat and well-kept, show the
effects of use The place has the
worn. shaggy look of farm that is
being well used.
The Governor Is dairyman, and
some things he is doing should be
of interest to dairymen in this Sec
tion. Particularly his pen-stablins
arrangement, and the fact that he
is changing from a grain rotation
to an all-grass program.
Diseases Greatly Reduced.
Gov. Dewey said he changed to
the pen stable, with four Cow milk
ing parlor, when he was faced with
5000 investment for new STAN
chions for his conventional dairy
barn. Since then, he said. diseases
in his 50-cow herd have been almost
unknown.
In other words he gives the pen
stable arrangement credit for wip-
ing out mastitis.
The Governors pen stable, where
his COWS loaf and are fed cafeteria
style, is 1876 feet long by 80 feet
wide, with feed alley 5 feet widt

Tulips, one CT the most popular
Of spring Towering bulbs. seem espe-
cially beset by conflicting opinions
on when and how deep to plant;
and yet they have been planted
successfully in millions Of gardens
during the past 800 years. They
give generously Of their beauty and
color In spite of our efforts and
errors because of the careful culture
In the propogating nurseries where
the bulbs store up an ample food
supply and develop the dormant
flower buds. Thus. regardless OF
how poorly or how carefully we
plant them they will make a color
full display the follow spring.
Some will advise planting the
bulbs deep, others will say 1t makes
little difference. The late DR.. David
Griffith, bulb authority for the Agri-
culture Department, recommended
covering the tips Of the bulbs with
at least inches of soil. Others have
said that deeper planting Is helpful
and cite instances where bulbs
planted 10 to II inches deep per-
sisted for many years without being
disturbed.
In a well-drained light soil such a
deep planting will give excellent re-
suits. Perh-ps the bulbs will last
longer than the usual three or four
years which We have learned to ex-
pect under our climate and soil con-
ditlons.
Humus Holds the Moisture.
Few gardeners, however, are will
ing to prepare the soil properly for
such deep planting. They will likely
agree that the plant food and moist
ure-holding humus should be below
the bulbs, where the roots will nor
mally reach 1t, but will be equally
frank to say they do not intend to
work that hard. We haven't all been
converted to double or triple digging
OF our soils.
Regardless Of your reaction to
depth of planting, it Is important
to note that tulips do need an am
pie supply of moisture-holding
hunus in the soil II they are to
thrive and last more than a year or
two. In our hot ''muggy" climate
the roots need a cool, rich, root run
to develop a plump one that will
produce an excellent flower the fol-
lowing season. Compost is the best
material to incorporate in the soil
Evening star., 1948-09-26

Where moles are nuisance it will
pay to protect tulip and crocus plant
ings. The moles burrowing through
the soil in search of insects open up
runways through which mice enter
bulb beds. A wire inclosure is an
effective means of fencing them out
Use a coarse hardware cloth or
copper screen. 1t should extend
down into the ground from 8 to Il
inches to be effective.

Polls Favor Dewey
As Maryland Winds
Up Quiet Campaign
By John v. Horner

Maryland's quietest political cam.
paign In years will be concluded
Tuesday with decisions on important
local issues, as well as balloting fol
The Presidency and&six House men,
bers.
Prediction polls indicate that
this normally Democratic strong
hold-which has picked winning
tickets in each of the last IA presi-
dental elections-will cast its eight
electoral votes for the Republican
Dewey Warren slate.
But the analysts forecasts are
hotly disputed by Democrats, who
are counting on late developments
to swing the State into the Truman
Barley column.
Close contests in at least two Con-
greSsional districts suggest the pos
sibility of a change in the political
lineup of the Maryland House dele
CATION. The Democrats now hold a
4-to-2 edge. The elections most in
doubt involve one seat held by each
major party. Depending on the
outcome of these races, the delega-
ton may be divided 3-3, or shifted
to give the Democrats a ST. ad-
vantage.
Local Referendums.
OF the local issues, the Mont
Fgomery County referendum on a
proposal to adopt charter form of
government stands out as one of
. the most important before Maryland
voters. Another which has aroused
keen interest is a st. Marys County
referendum on a proposal to issue
$350,O0O worth of school construc-
ton bonds.
Throughout Maryland, the ballots
will provide for voting on seven
proposals to amend the State Con-
stitution. These would limit the
Governors tenure to two consecu-
tive terms, provide for annual ses-
sions of the legislature, simplify the
method by which the legislature
could pass upon gifts to religious
bodies, prohibit members of sub
versive organizations from holding
elective or appointive Office in the
State or local governments, provide
IA method of establishing new
counties, give the city of Baltimore
authority to condemn property for
slum clearance and give it the right
to acquire land for off street park
ing.
One Statewide referendum also
is before the voters. Its practical
effect is to decide on proposal
which would GUST the present motor
vehicle commissioner, w. Lee Elgin.
The presidential campaign in
Maryland has been notable for a
lack Of enthusiasm. 1t was enliv-
ened slightly at the start by activ-
ity of the Progressive Party, which
included a Baltimore speech by
Henry A. Wallace, its standard
bearer.
Belated efforts of the States
Rights party to get on the Mary
land ballot also created some in
terest. Gov. Thurmond of South
Carolina, the party nominee, made
several talks in Maryland, but his
hackers were. too late in filing
list of electors.
Despite scattered interest in the
States Rights program and defec-
lions from the regular Democratic
ticket. the Thurmond vote is not
expected to be large. Supporters
may write in his name and that of
his vice-presidential running mate,
Gov. Wright Of Mississippi, but
Attorney General Hall Hammond

Republicans, both within and
from without the State. are pinning
their strongest hopes for House
gains in the eth, End and 7th dis
tricts in that order. The COP also
claims it has a fair chance in the

The 5th District does not figure

vacated by Representative Flanna-

I. The House candidates in the 9th
are Thomas B. Fugate, Democrat, of

The reason Republican hopes are
high In the End District is that
the Democratic incumbent, Repre-

primary nomination two years ago.
The COP challengers believe there
may be some defections among the

BY the Assoeiotsd Press

SOUTH ST. PAUL, Mimi, June
Loss today was estimated at
more than 100000 in the prairie
