POINT WORK. 



If your dog is trained to obey the motions of the hand, he will 

 scatter the flock in all directions and make them light on the trees by 

 barking at them. 



When the snow is on the ground, track them, and the length of the 

 tracks will determine whether the birds are going fast or slow. If 

 slow, the tracks will be from six inches to a foot apart, showing that 

 the birds are loafing or feeding. 



But when the tracks are from eighteen to thirty inches apart it is 

 a sign that the birds are frightened or are on a long tramp from one 

 locality to another. In this case do not follow the tracks, but circle 

 out a quarter to a half a mile and cross their tracks and then make 

 another circle according to the direction in which they are then going. 

 By confusing them in this way they will lessen their speed and be easily 

 overtaken. When close to them, send the dog, and he will scatter them 

 by barking; then call them to yon by using a turkey caller and they will 

 be readily killed.
