cleft at one end sufficiently wide to admit of 

 the tail of the dog, which being introduced, 

 tie the cleft end with a piece of twine tight 

 enough to make him feel pain ; at the other 

 end of the stick tie a fowl by the wing, then 

 after a little time let the dog loose, at the 

 instant giving him a few heavy strokes with a 

 whip, the dog will then run as fast as he can, 

 by reason of the pain in his tail, which he 

 imagines is caused by the fowl ; by dint of 

 dragging the fowl he will kill it, and spent 

 with running he will stop, and afterwards 

 hide himself in some hole ; then take off the 

 stick, and beat him about the mouth and 

 head with the dead fowl. 



If the dog runs after sheep, and you can- 

 not break him of the custom, couple him 

 with a ram, and in letting them loose, whip 

 the dog as long as you can follow him ; his 

 cries will at first alarm the ram who will 

 run with all his speed, and drag the dog 

 along with him ; but he will soon take cou- 

 rage, and end with butting the dog most
