A dog can bs taught 10 understand
the sign language used by the deaf
and dumb. Not only to understand
his master, but also other people
who use this method Of communica-
ting thoughts. This fact was proved
by a dog belonging to Will o. Kim
ball, q teacher in Maine school
for the deaf and dumb.
The dog was q general pet Of all
the students in the school. When
ever they wanted the dog to do
anything, they would talk to it in
the sign language they were being
taught at the school. At the proper
sign the animal would roll over,
walk on It's hind legs, retrieve q ball
and do many other tricks. How
would they make the dog come to
them when he was out OF sight?
That was easy; all they would do
was clap their hands and the dog
would come running.
HOUSEKEEPING.
HOUSEKEEPING Is a problem that
seems to worry many dog owners.
Here is the method have always
used, with exceptionally good re-
suits. Start the training as soon as
the puppy is purchased, because the
odor from accidents about the house
is bound to further errors. Remem-
bering also that a young puppy
must attend to natural functions
frequently.
A few minutes after feeding your
puppy take him out of doors and
put him on the ground. Keep him
there as long as necessary and then
promptly bring him in again. Watch
him rather closely while he Is in
the house and as soon as you notice
him acting the least bit nervous
take him outside to the same plot
of ground as before. Don't allow
him to stay outside a minute longer
than necessary. Soon he will associ-
ate these acts with going out OF
doors, and you will find him trotting
toward the door voluntarily.
Curing Skin Ailments.
prevalent diseases dog owners have
to contend with, and is perhaps the
most dificult to clear up. In many
cases, q veterinarians care is re-
quired to effect complete cure. I
have found. however, that the ma
jority of skin trouble can be traced
to improper diet, and are easily
durable.
If your dog is suffering from skin
trouble, underfeed him for the next
three or four weeks and the condi-
ton will probably clear up. Pro-
vide nothing but raw chopped meat
mixed with canned tomatoes and
spinach. Do not give him milk,
bread or biscuits.

vance the coming of a thunder
storm. The dog indicates his pre-
monition by a peculiar howl with
a tone denoting fear. He huddles
in the darkest corner of his kennel,
remaining there until the storm has
passed. In the house he hides
under q bed. Many nervous dogs
act in the same manner before q
thunderstorm. How do they know?
Dogs seem to sense change in
atmosphere preceding the storm,
such as a drop in the barometric
pressure Of the air and a subtle
electric motion Of air currents. A
dogs hearing is considered Is times
as acute as that of man. and 1t
may be this auditory sensitivity
which enables the canine to hear
the distant rumble of thunder long
before the appearance of gathering
storm clouds.

If so, what should I use as whip?

absolutely necessary. A good scold-
ing in harsh tone will often bring

think 1t necessary to employ some
