of prevention are worth more than a few 
allopathic treatments of dog whip or ap¬ 
ple switch. Sometimes the latter is neces¬ 
sary, but before resorting to force be per¬ 
fectly sure that the culprit fully appre¬ 
ciates why he is being punished and what 
he should" have done to avoid it, and then 
make the chastisement an adequate one. 
The first step in house-breaking may be 
taken as soon as your dog arrives. If he 
is to be kept in the house, make it a point 
to see that yourself or someone else takes 
him outdoors for a while at reasonable in¬ 
tervals. This will aid greatly in the for¬ 
mation of proper habits, but when (as is 
certain to be the case sooner or later) the 
pup misbehaves, reprimand him sharply 
and chain him at the spot where the wrong 
occurred, leaving him there for perhaps 
fifteen minutes. Then lead outdoors by 
the chain and release. 
By following these instructions it is 
often possible successfully to house-break 
a dog, but some cases require more dras¬ 
tic treatment. If the plans suggested do 
not effect a cure, and if the pup seems 
nevertheless to realize in what respect he 
has done wrong and continues to do so 
wilfully, then reprimand and switch him 
on the spot, immediately thereafter putting 
him outdoors. But do not, as you love 
your self-respect and exalted position in 
the dog’s mind, let your temper get the 
better of you. 
Before passing on to the second real 
lesson that the dog must learn — “lie 
down” a few words about rewards may 
not be amiss. It is a common—I might al¬ 
most say usual — custom for an inex¬ 
perienced dog trainer to reward the suc¬ 
cessful efforts of his pupil by tid-bits that 
appeal strongly to the latter’s love for his 
own digestive organization. While this 
method often secures satisfactory results 
while the food is in immediate prospect 
and the dog hungry enough to work for it, 
yet the whole principle on which such a 
means of inducing obedience depends is 
faulty. Instead of the dog doing as he is 
ordered from a sense of duty, he obeys 
simply from personal gastronomic reasons. 
Let him lose his appetite or the prospect of 
being fed with dainties for the slight 
trouble of coming when called or heeding 
the command to lie down, and your con¬ 
trol of his actions will probably be ex¬ 
tremely conspicuous by its absence. Never 
make food an offered reward for obedi¬ 
ence to your orders, at least until your 
dog’s “grammar school” education has 
been completed. A kindly pat and a few 
words of praise will be keenly appreciated 
by the dog which is sensibly handled, and 
they are in the long run by far the best 
reward.

ti/uiTC crnTCH uni I icc No country home is finished, no family circle 
W til 1 L SCU I Lit CULLItb complete, without a big. brave dog, and the Scotch 
Collie is the ideal home dog. Mothers are at ease when a sleepless, faithful, 
fearless Collie follows the children on their rambles in the country. Fathers 
know that the tireless, vigorous playmate of the children will keep them out 
doors and doctors’ and druggists’ bills out of sight. Young ladies know that 
white Collies are the most beautiful, graceful, and sympathetic 
aristocrats of dogdom. Little girls love their gentle ways. Boys 
swear by them because they know a Collie is ALL DOG ALL 
THE Ti.ME. The tired business man, disgusted with the shams 
and trickery of the world, has his faith renewed every time he 
looks into the face of his faithful Collie. The entire household 
regard him ONE OF THE FAMILY. On the farm he is the 
first to detect trouble of any kind, drives away all two and 
four-legged enemies, and saves hours of labor by herding the 
cattle and sheep. White Collies are very rare and extremely 
beautiful. Ours are country-raised (out on an island) hardy, 
healthy and rugged, requiring no artificial heat in the winter. 
I’edigree stock only. A pair will raise more than $150.00 worth 
of puppies a year. We ship anywhere in North America. 
Will have some little beauties for Christmas presents.
