HOW TO DEVELOP 
A BIRD DOG 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 364) 
He should be very hungry when you 
commence these first lessons, as his 
eagerness for the food will cause him 
to pay you close attention; and when 
he understands that as soon as he per- 
forms his task his reward is sure, and 
that he cannot have it before, he will 
anxiously strive to do whatever you 
may require of him. You should begin 
by giving him a taste of a piece of 
meat, then secure a firm hold upon his 
collar, and place a small piece upon 
the ground in front of him. He will 
struggle with all his strength to get 
at it, but hold him steadily, and do not 
say a word until he becomes partially 
quiet; then move his nose a little nearer, 
and, in your ordinary tone of voice, say 
Ho, with a falling accent upon the last 
syllable. Do not repeat the word just 
yet, and when you do, be very careful 
that your voice is not strained and 
unnatural. 
Always accompany this word with 
the right hand raised warningly, for it 
may often happen that you wish your 
dog to come to a halt at some distance, 
and by accustoming him to the gesture 
he will soon learn to stop as far as he 
can see you. Most sportsmen use this 
signal to make their dogs charge, but, 
as will be shown further on, the other 
plan is much better. After a few 
seconds the dog will become more quiet, 
and you can repeat the words. Now 
carefully watch him, and as soon as his 
attention is fixed upon the meat and 
he looks at it steadily for a second, 
release your hold and cluck to him as 
a signal that he can now have it, and 
at once praise and pet him, and give 
him to understand that he has done 
something wonderful and that you are 
pleased with him. We should have 
stated before that, from the first, when- 
ever you place his food before him you 
should always cluck to him, as he will 
thus learn the meaning of the sound, 
and understand when he hears it that 
all restraint is removed. 
After the first trial do not try him 
again until the next time that you feed 
him, for should you force him he may 
grow weary and fail to respond with 
that cheerfulness and alacrity that are 
so pleasing to see. You must be very 
careful that he does not get the meat 
until you give him permission, for he 
must understand that you mean busi- 
ness every time, and that he cannot 
have it until he becomes perfectly quiet 
and hears your signal. 
A FTER a few lessons of this kind, 
if you have managed right, you 
will be surprised to see the im- 
provement that he will make and the 
zest with which he will enter into the 
spirit of it. You can soon leave him 
free, and he will readily point at the 
word ; and with proper care he will soon 
learn to point when the meat is thrown 
to quite a distance from him. Of course, 
to Advertisers mention Forest and Stream. It will 
you will understand that the distance 
must be increased very gradually, and 
implicit obedience exacted every time. 
Should he move so much as one step 
after you give him the word, you must 
instantly place him as near as may 
be in his former position, at the same 
time repeating the word ; and this 
must be done gently yet firmly until 
he becomes steadfast. Too much im- 
portance cannot be attached to this ; 
indeed, it is the groundwork of our 
whole system, and unless you 
thoroughly instill into his mind the 
knowledge that you mean just what 
you say, and must be obeyed to the 
very letter, and that he cannot vary 
the fraction of an inch from the rule 
that you have laid down, it will not 
be of any use to continue further, for 
under this system — or any other — it 
will be utterly impossible to turn out 
a well-trained animal unless you strictly 
adhere to this rule and exact implicit 
obedience every time. 
After he once understands that he 
must mind, your task is half accom- 
plished; the rest is comparatively easy 
and you will indeed find it a labor of 
love to perfect his education. 
I N giving these first lessons do not 
remove him from his pen, as new 
surroundings will serve to distract 
his attention from the business on 
hand, and your task will be all the 
harder;' indeed, it is much better to 
avoid all training outside of the pen 
until your pupil is well established in 
what you have taught him. Should 
it not be convenient to have a pen for 
him, a good sized room or any inclos- 
ure that he cannot get out of will 
answer for training purposes. Do not 
allow any spectators in these first les- 
sons, as you want his undivided at- 
tention. We know that there is great 
satisfaction in showing off, but until 
you are quite sure that he will obey 
when strangers are near, it is much 
better to practice him alone than to 
have him “go back on you” before 
folks, where you might feel a little 
delicacy about enforcing your com- 
mands. 
TWO ACCIDENTS IN NATURE 
T OBSERVED and caught by hand, 
1 from a row-boat in mid-lake, a large- 
mouth black bass ( Micropterus sedmo- 
ides) , emaciated and weakened so much 
that he could not escape. The bass meas- 
ured 22 inches in length. On examina- 
tion it was discovered he had choked 
on a large sunfish he had tried to de- 
vour. This stuck and he was unable 
to disgorge it. The smaller fish bore 
evidence of being dead several days at 
least and was going down head first. 
Another interesting accident ob- 
served, was a dead water-snake ( Natrix 
sipedon ) , bulging in the center with the 
two horns of a 4 in. bull-head ( Ameiu- 
ms) projecting from either side of his 
body. A silent, yet impressive testi- 
monial that it is well to be discrete in 
the choice of food.
