have learned that floggings are
bad for children.
Don't misunderstood me. Youl
young dog sometimes needs cor
lrection. $50 does your child0 But
the does not need torture. I have
proved that. I have raised anc
trained many. many dogs of vari-
GUS breeds. None of them has
been pampered. All were taught
obedience and the simple law o1
canine citizenship. But they were
trained by patience, common
sense and gentle firmness. Not by
whip or boot-toe.
Dogs have amazing memories
Not so long ago in Cleveland. a
dog walked into the house OF
George cambridge. The dog had
disappeared IL years before. The
Bainbridge family had no doubt
it was the same dog and the ami
NAL showed every evidence of rec
ognizing every member of the
family. Just where the dog had
been all those IL years could not
be learned.
It has been proved that a dog
has a better faculty for remem-
bering things than you or I have
The average dog easily remembers
tricks and lessons taught five
years previous. Such period OF
time is half a dogs lifetime.
@. My dogs coat looks dull and
lifeless. What can I do to improve
its looks?-B. j.
A. Brush it daily with a good
stiff brush and put tablespoon
full of regular cod liver oil in his
food two or three times a week.
@. Some one told me they read
about a breed of dog called Grab
Eaters" Is there such a dog?
p. H. w.
A. Yes, in South America there
is breed of semi-Wild dogs that
feed on reptiles and crabs.

50 Farm Income Arongers to Help
Fo Remain Steudv At Work Meetino

Farmers net income In 1852
will remain about the same as it
was in 1851, say University of
Maryland agricultural economists,
but higher costs of living may de-
Grease purchasing power. These
conclusions are reached in a new
Miscellaneous Extension Publica-
ton No. IA (revised), Basic
Economic Factors Affecting De-
mand for Agricultural Products. -
Increasing defense spending was
the most dominant element in
1851 and still remains the most
influential force effecting con-
Isumer and business spending in
1852. Industrial production is ex-
pected to be steady and civilian
employment is expected to in
crease 2 to million above the
1851 level. The population is
growing at the rate of 2 million
Ia year. Consumer income is in
|creasing. although consumer
spending shows signs OF leveling
of. Prospects are good for a con-
tinued large volume of agricultural
exports during 1852.
It all. adds UP, says the eco
nomics. to a slight increase in
demand.
However, the slightly increased
demand for farm products in 1852
lis expected to be balanced by
higher agricultural production. In
view of this, the University Of
Maryland agricultural economists
predict that average farm prices
in 1862 will remain about equal
to 1851.
These factors are used as a
basis for several other timely agri-
cultural outlook publications,

This Week in the Garden

GrapevineS mould be prilned
before March If bleeding from
the stubs is to be avoided. There
is some divergence Of opinion. as
to how much injury is occasioned
by the bleeding, but the home
gardener, having only a moderate
amount Of pruning to do at the
most, can well afford to trim his
grapevines early and prevent any
injury.
The problem Of controlling In
sectS and diseases in the home
garden can be very complicated
or it may be rather simple. The
recommended approach is use Of
an "all-purpose" spray or dust.
There are a number of good ones
on. the market. some designed for
use on vegetable crops. others for
fruits, and one for the ornamen-
tails. If regularly used and a good
job Of coating the foliage is done,
they will give reasonably good pro-
lection.
It's not too early to order a
supply Of fertilizer for lawn and
garden as well as to obtain the
other materials which will be
needed this coming season. The
earlier the orders are placed the
better, because during the spring
rush delays may be expected. Most
gardeners will want to help their
suppliers by spreading the peak
load over a longer period of time.
There is still time to scatter
seeds of the hardy ANIMALS in the
situations where you wish to have
them bloom. The soil need not
be spaded for this, nor is it nee
esSary to remove the weeds and
grass. Just SOW the seed and let
the frost carry them down into
the soil.
A new spray or dust material
to be put on the market this
spring is reported to kill red spider
mites in the egg and larvae stages
as well as the adult insect. Be-
cause Of this killing power, a
number Of local gardeners are
applying the material to all likely
winter hiding places in an effort
to reduce the red spider mite pop
ulation. If this should prove
feasible, the practice might we'll
be included in the dormant sea-

son insect and disease control pro-
gram. The product. known. as
Ovatran, is expected to be avail
able locally this spring.
Strawberry plants are usually
set out in the. early spring, al
though some times potted plants
are available for fall planting.
Spring planting should be done
in March If the plants are to
make good growth and develop
into strong plants by next fall.
Midland Is the recommended va
riety for freezing. The firm flesh
and dark red color as well as the
high quality Of Midland. make q
frozen product that is tops.
The majority Of the nurseries
offer dwarf apple and pear trees
on Mailing TX stock. This is ap-
parently the most dependable
stock in commercial use.
Because they remain small, the
trees need protection from strong
winds and should be staked. That
is a disadvantage. but because the
root system is small, dwarf fruit
trees can be grown In q flower
bed without adversely affecting
the surrounding plants.
Some one has suggested that
Poncirus might be used as a living
fence. Commonly known as the
hardy orange, it is hardy in this
area. The plants are readily
grown from seed. Poncirus has
fragrant white. flowers in the
spring. The small inedible fruits
may be somewhat Of o nuisance.
The small tree is spiny and may
be pruned to any height.
Most house plants are now en-
tering their most active season of
growth. As q good start for this
period they might well be given
a Swinging or, better still, a
shower bath to remove the dust
and soak the root ball. This
treatment will remove dust and
most Of the tiny insect pests that
frequently infest our house plants.

The other night ] stopped at a
strangers house to ask directions
AS entered his yard was greeted
by what seemed to me an ex-
Itremely savage dog. It made me
realize that all dogs are not as
docile as my own. I was afraid of
this dog. It is sensible to be afraid
of savage dog and here are q
few points worth remembering,
Most animals have flve sets of
offensive weapons their jaws and
all four feet. You have six sets
of weapons, should you care to
use them. You have your teeth,
your two fists, your two feet and
your head. The head can inflict
cruel damage.
I am not advising that you go
about butting savage dogs with
your head. but if you can elude a
dogs bite, you are safe from him.
If you can clutch him by the
throat or just behind the jaw as
Ihe attacks you, he is harmless as
long as you can hold him thus.
IF your nerve and eye are good
and if you are fairly swift and
accurate in the use of your hands,
the stunt is much simpler than
you realize.
Some time ago I advised readers
against swathing their small dogs
in sweaters and blankets, etc. I
have been taken, sharply to task
by many dog owners who claim
that sweaters and blankets are
absolutely necessary for short
haired dogs in cold weather.
If it were true, I think Mother
Mature would have endowed them
with such coverings. II you keep
him away from the fireplace or
the radiator while he is in the
house, I doubt if he will catch
cold or be any the worse for your
failure to pile blankets or woolen
sweaters on him.
1 have tested this theory with
pointers and other Short-haired
dogs, and they have remained in
rugged health throughout the icy
months.
Ordinary sane treatment Of
your dog in winter is worth fifty
times as much as all the sweater
ing and blanketing ever devised.

In my boyhood. almost every
professional dogman used the
whip freely: some Of them used

Most dog trainers are gentler
