47. Whenever, indeed, you wish him to desist from 

 doing anything, call out "Ware," (pronounced "W^ar"), 

 as it will expedite his hereafter understanding the 

 terms, " Ware sheep," " Ware chase," and " Ware lark." 

 The last expression to be used when he is wasting his

 restraining them alternately from so doing, you exact 

 the obedience which you will require hereafter in the 

 field, when in their natural eagerness they will endea- 

 vour, unless you properly control them, to take the 

 point of birds from one another; or, in their rivalry,
