Your  animal  exhibits  signs  of  a  cold  and  sore  throat,  which 
ordinarily  occur  from  catarrhal  fever ;  there  is  an  internal  swelling  and 
inflammation  of  the  throat,  the  animal’s  appetite  is  impaired,  choking 
often  follows  eating,  and  the  milk  supply  drops  considerably.  Be¬ 
cause  of  this  impaired  appetite,  the  animal  is  usually  unwilling  to  con¬ 
sume  medicine-doctored  food.  Right  hero  Dr.  David  Roberts’  Fever 
Paste  overcomes  the  danger.  This  honeylike  preparation  is  com¬ 
pounded  of  ingredients  that  heal  and  soothe  the  mucous  membrane, 
and  powerful  and  reliable  germicides  that  have  a  tendency  to  over¬ 
come  the  germs  that  cause  distemper  and  catarrhal  fever.  Thus  the 
swelling  and  soreness  of  the  throat  is  reduced,  the  animal  soon  regains 
its  appetite  and  consumes  its  food  without  danger  of  choking  to  death.

Training  the  Farm  Dog 
Fabt  II. 
Among  the  Hens.  —  In  the  poultry 
yard  a  dog,  particularly  a  terrier,  can  be 
very  useful.  Possibly  the  energy  of  these 
little  fellows  makes  them  a  little  livelier 
proposition  to  handle,  but  no  dog  re¬ 
sponds  more  easily  to  firm,  consistent 
treatment.  What  has  been  said  about 
handling  the  puppy  applies  particularly 
to  the  terrier.  It  is  a  great  temptation 
to  pet  the  bright  little  fellows  aud  to  let 
the  children  pet  aud  play  with  them. 
Better  wait  until  your  dog  is  trained, 
aud  then  all  manner  of  petting  aud  play¬ 
ing  will  not  harm  him.  In  using  the 
dog  iu  the  chicken  yard,  there  is  more 
temptation  than  ever  with  sheep  for  him 
to  chase  and  bark.  Particularly  with 
Leghorns  this  is  most  undesirable.  Never 
cliase  the  chickens  yourself  in  an  effort 
to  catch  them  until  the  puppy  has  learned 
that  they  are  not  game  for  his  catching 
iis  well.  Get  him  absolutely  under  con¬ 
trol,  so  that  ho  will  drop  anything  he 
may  have  and  come  to  you  at  call.  If 
he  does  forget  himself  to  the  extent  of 
running  down  a  chicken  and  kills  it,  he 
should  have  his  punishment  right  on  the 
spot.  Take  the  dead  chicken  in  your 
hand,  hokliug  him  with  the  other  and  let 
him  have  it  in  his  ribs  until  he  howls. 
You  want  the  idea  to  get  into  his  head 
that  a  dead  chicken  and  yourself  have 
a  terrible  punishing  power.  The  whip¬ 
ping  ought  to  be  thorough ;  no  half-way 
job.  lie  wants  to  remember  that  punish¬ 
ment  for  all  time,  although  if  you  can 
avoid  having  to  give  such  punishment  so 
much  the  better.  A  collie  that  I  punished 
for  this  fault  afterward  learned  to  help 
me  catch  a  stray  chicken  without  leaving 
a  tooth  mark  on  it.  Sometimes  she 
pulled  out  a  mouthful  of  feathers,  but 
never  broke  the  skin.  Once  ou  a  dark 
night  iu  the  curly  Winter,  after  a  sleet 
storm  I  was  getting  in  some  stray  tur¬ 
keys  Toosting  in  the  apple  orchard.  Just 
as  I  reached  for  one,  it  flew  away  out.  of 
sight  into  an  adjoining  field.  Away  went 
the  dog  out  of  sight,  and  call,  and  when 
I  stumbled  ou  the  pair  an  hour  later  the 
dog  was  holding  the  12-pound  turkey  in 
a  fence  corner  with  half  its  feathers 
picked  off  but  uot  a  tooth  mark.  I  do 
not  recommend  using  the  dog  to  catch 
chickens,  hut  when  it  is  used  it  ought 
to  know  better  than  to  mutilate  them. 
Watching  Fob  Marauders. — By  spend¬ 
ing  some  time  in  the  field  where  the 
chickens  are  running  ou  range  you  can 
train  the  dog  to  watch  out  for  the  hawks, 
crows,  any  of  the  other  enemies  of  the 
air  that  lay  for  tame  fowl.  The  dog,  par¬ 
ticularly  a  terrier,  will  take  to  rat-hunt¬ 
ing  naturally,  and  can  be  taught  if  hand¬ 
led  right,  to  go  about  it  in  a  business 
like  way.  Probably  the  best  way*  for  a 
dog  to  got  acquainted  with  this  business 
is  to  have  him  meet  a  rat  which  you 
have  in  a  trap  by  the  leg,  or  iu  a  cage, 
so  that  the  dog  can  size  him  up  properly 
and  catch  him  right.  I  once  had  a  dog 
that  a  field  mouse  spoiled  for  a  long  time 
by  nipping  her  as.  a  puppy  right  in  the 
uose  and  hanging  ou.  It  should  not  take 
a  dog  long  to  learn  to  hunt  rats  either 
by  itself  or  with  your  help. 
Protection  Against  Thieves. — In 
the  matter  of  protecting  the  poultry  from 
thieves,  the  dog  is  again  a  big  i^help. 
About  the  best  way  is  to  keep  the  fact 
well  advertised  that  you  are  on  the  look¬ 
out  for  any  prowlers,  and  that  your  dog 
is  as  fond  of  thief’s  legs  as  you  are  of 
pie.  I  had  a  bull  terrier  that  had  a  very 
funny  habit  of  going  out  to  the  main 
road  in  front  of  the  house  aud  waiting 
for  colored  brethren  to  pass.  When  one 
came  in  sight  he  never  made  a  sound,  but 
just  dropped  behind  the  darkey  and  fol¬ 
lowed  close  behind,  his  nose  about  two 
inches  from  the  darkey’s  legs.  The  dog  i 
never  did  anything,  but  the  moral  effect  j 
was  tremendous.  I  don’t  pretend  to  , 
kuow  how  to  train  *.  dog  to  do  that.  The  1 
terrier  picked  it  up  himself.  It  was  , 
worrisome  to  his  victim.  No  hark,  po  : 
rush,  just  went  sniffing  quietly  along  be-  j 
hind  him.  One  can  train  the  dog  for  i 
execution,  however.  I  have  spent  quite  J 
a  little  time  off  and  on  training  my  dogs  t 
to  jump  for  an  old  gnnnysack  and  tear  ‘} 
it  to  shreds  between  them.  I  think  their  < 
protection  can  be  depended  on  where  they  i 
are  taught  to  treat  only  your  immediate  { 
family  as  friends,  tind  everyone  else  uu-  i
