Training  the  Farm  Dog 
Part  I. 
Some  time  ago  I  purchased  a  Scotch 
collie  ptippy  for  a  cow  dog.  Training  a 
dog  for  that  purpose  is  something  I 
know  little  about,  lie  has  grit,  for  he 
kills  woodchucks,  but  he  will  not  notice 
the  cows.  I  have  taken  him  with  me  all 
the  Summer.  Can  you  give  me  a  few 
pointers  on  this  training?  C.  II, 
West  Branch,  N.  Y. 
I  have  had  a  five-months-old  male 
Airedale  puppy  given  me  and  am  anx¬ 
ious  to  train  him  so  that  he  will  be  an 
asset  instead  of  a  liability.  In  other 
words  I  need  him  in  the  chicken  business 
for  protection  from  buzzards,  crows,  rats, 
minks,  etc.,  also  “the  light-fingered  gen¬ 
try.”  I  know  nothing  about  training 
dogs  stntl  do  not  want  to  make  n  mistake 
aud  spoil  an  otherwise  valuable  help. 
How  about  scolding,  punishing  and  treat¬ 
ment  for  doing  wrong,  such  as  biting 
horses,  chasing  chicks,  jumping  up  on 
people,  and  crying  at  night  when  tied? 
Denton,  Md.  w.  c.  B. 
Patience  Needed. — In  training  a  dog 
for  farm  use  the  main  quality  the  owner 
needs  is  patience.  Most  dogs,  if  taken 
while  young  and  unspoiled,  can  he  taught 
he  taught  this  depends  on  his  mental  de¬ 
velopment.  The  whole  success  of  the 
training  depends  on  developing  in  the  dog 
a  restraint  which  results  only  where 
firmness  is  used.  The  dog  ought  never  to 
he  punished  for  seeming  stupidity.  You 
cannot  hammer  sense  into  either  dog  or 
man.  Never  punish  a  dog  unless  he  wil¬ 
fully  persists  in  doing  what  he  has  been 
told  not  to  do.  Never  under  any  cir¬ 
cumstances  let  more  than  one  person  at¬ 
tempt  to  teach  him  anything  it  once.  I 
am  mentioning  a  few  of  these  things  be¬ 
cause  they  are  the  points  oftenest  over¬ 
looked  in  training.  The  thing  to  strive 
for  in  a  dog’s  training  is  to  make  him 
obey  instantly  the  command  of  his 
trainer,  not  through  fear,  but  through  a 
feeling  that  it  is  the  thing  to  do.  Control 
of  his  actions  in  a  dog  can  only  come 
through  control  in  the  trainer.  No  mat¬ 
ter  how  much  the  dog  tries  your  temper 
never  speak  in  a  loud  or  angry  tone.

Farm  Guardians  of  the  Future 
to  be  of  real  help  with  cattle,  sheep  or 
poultry.  Even  where  the  dog  has  grown 
to  a  considerable  age  without  training, 
he  can  be  taught  to  mend  his  ways.  In 
handling  a  puppy  the  trainer  must  bear 
in  mind  constantly  the  fact  that  only  one 
lesson  can  he  taught  at  a  time.  There  is 
a  temptation  when  a  puppy  first  comes 
on  the  place  for  everyone  to  pet  and 
fondle  it.  If  you  want  a  plaything  for 
the  children  that  will  later  on  become  a 
plague  on  the  place  chasing  chickens, 
jumping  up  on  visitors,  rushing  out  in 
tbe  road  to  hark  at  passing  vehicles,  and 
straying  on  the  farms  of  your  neighbors, 
just  let  everybody  take  a  hand  in  its 
training.  If  you  want  a  dog  that  will 
he  really  useful,  don’t  let  anyone  but 
yourself  handle  it  until  it  is  fully  ma¬ 
tured. 
The  Lonesome  Puppy. — Feed  the  pup 
yourself,  never  letting  him  jump  up  on 
you  in  his  playfulness.  Pet  him  if  you 
wish,  but  keep  him  at  arm’s  length.  If 
he  gets  lonesome  when  you  leave  him 
during  the  day  or  at  night,  and  whines 
until  you  are  nearly  wild,  just  let  him 
whine.  It  will  do  no  good  to  go  out  and 
scold  him  or  whip  him  or  lose  your 
temper.  He  is  simply  following  his  natu¬ 
ral  instinct  for  getting  company  iu  his 
lonesomeness.  It  may  drive  you  wild  for 
a  time  or  two,  but  even  the  hardest- 
headed  puppy  will  stop  whining  when  he 
finds  that  it  will  bring  no  results.  The 
first  object  of  the  trainer,  nevertheless,  is 
to  make  the  puppy  feel  that  his  trainer 
is  the  great  thing  in  his  existence.  lie 
must  feel  that  through  his  hands  come 
his  food,  his  pleasures,  his  rewards,  and 
when  they  are  needed  his  punishments. 
Obedience. — About  the  first  lesson  I 
teach  a  dog  is  to  come  to  me  wheu  called. 
When  carrying  its  food  to  it  always  give 
the  same  whistle  or  call.  When  you 
take  the  pup  out  for  a  walk,  carry  along 
some  bits  of  cornbread  or  a  small  piece 
or  two  of  me  Let  him  expect  some¬ 
thing  wheu  .\  whistle  to  him.  Teach 
him  to  come  to  you  quietly  instead  of 
rushing  up,  barking,  aud  sprawling  all 
over  your  legs.  The  next  step  is  to  teach 
him  to  follow  at  heel.  IIow  soon  he  can 
stock,  he  ought  to  have  one  habit  firmly 
fixed — the  habit  of  coming  at  once  to 
you  when  called.  In  rounding  up  cows 
or  horses  the  dog  learns  the  danger  of 
well-aimed  heels,  lie  much  prefers  to 
rush  around  to  the  head  of  the  animal 
and  bark.  It  takes  a  dog  with  nerve 
aud  good  training  to  keep  quiet  and  nip 
the  heels  of  the  unwilling  horse  or  cow. 
The  only  way  to  handle  the  dog  is  bring 
him  up  behind  the  animal  at  heel.  When 
he  rushes  around  to  the  animal’s  head, 
call  him  back.  Keep  this  process  up 
until  you  get  results.  It  may  take  sev¬ 
eral  trips  to  the  field  and  considerable 
time,  hut  when  he  once  gets  the  idea  you 
have  a  dog  worth  while. 
Handling  Sheep. — In  handling  sheep, 
particularly,  you  must  have  absolute  cou- 
trol  of  your  dog.  Sheep  are  easily  ex¬ 
cited  and  only  when  cornered  put  up  a 
fight.  It  is  not  a  pleasant  sight  to  see  a 
dog  start  a  hunch  of  sheep  aud  get  them 
on  the  run.  If  you  cannot  call  him  back 
he  will  carry  them  to  the  end  of  the  run 
or  field.  AY  hen  you  have  caught  up  to 
the  stampede,  the  bulk  is  crowded  iuto  a 
fence  corner,  one  or  two  have  jumped  the 
fence  and  ripped  themselves  on  the  barb¬ 
ed  wire,  and  the  whole  flock  is  demoral¬ 
ized  for  days.  Your  dog  is  in  a  bad 
frame  of  mind  to  take  out  and  tend  a 
flock,  although  if  he  had  been  handled 
right,  he  would  be  no  end  of  help.  Many 
a  time  I  have  gone  to  the  gate  of  a  big 
pasture  field  aud  sent  our  collie  over  the 
hill  aud  out  of  sight  after  the  flock.  Pres¬ 
ently  they  would  come  at  a  reasonable 
gait  over  the  brow  of  the  hill,  with  the 
dog  a  respectable  distance  in  the  rear, 
slipping  up  when  needed  behind  some 
straggler.  It  took  a  good  many  hours 
and  a  vast  deal  of  patience  to  get  the  dog 
to  do  the  trick,  but  ouee  the  lesson  was 
learned  I  had  no  trouble.  It  was  simply 
a  question  of  keeping  the  dog  under  ab¬ 
solute  control  aud  never  letting  him  stam¬ 
pede  the  flock.  R.  B. 
“Mention  twelve  animals  of  the  po¬ 
lar  regions,”  said  the  professor;  and  the 
despairing  student  wrote  “Six  seals  and 
six  polar  bears !” — Youth’s  Companion.
