Finally, take the dog into a sunny room 
or before an open fire, and give him a 
good brushing with a rather stiff brush. 
This will complete the drying process and 
leave his coat in excellent condition. 
It is a good plan never to wash a dog 
soon after he has had a meal, for some 
individuals are so constituted that the 
shock of taking a forced bath brings on a 
sudden dislike for the food they have just 
swallowed, and the results are not pleas¬ 
ant. I fancy this is merely a nervous con¬ 
dition, for I have seen the same effect 
in a high-strung dog where the only cause 
seemed to be the excitement induced by 
the prospect of going for a walk with his 
master. — Robert S. Lemmon. 
Airedales, the All-Round Dog 
(Continued from page 85) 
ming the dog, but all loose hair can readily 
be removed with the comb. See that the 
head and legs are as clean and smooth as 
possible. 
In shipping the dog to out-of-town 
places, first-rate hampers are now pro¬ 
curable at the dealers’, and your only con¬ 
sideration will be to see that the animal 
has sufficient water during his journey. 
At the show itself if possible, handle the 
dog in the ring yourself A little prelimi¬ 
nary training in making him stand still 
and “looking for the birdie” will help 
wonderfully. 
This brings us to the general subject of 
the training of the dog. If you have the 
time and patience, it is better, and, of 
course, more economical, to buy young 
puppies, but it is correspondingly difficult 
to know just what you are getting. The 
family tree of your pup, however, is the 
safest guide, although the pups in a single 
litter vary to a surprising degree. A six- 
months’ pup ought to be well house- 
broken and fairly obedient to any com¬ 
mand, and that is the best age at which to 
buy. He is, besides, not too old to learn. 
Training the dog is a combination of 
harshness and kindness. Harshness in re¬ 
quiring implicit obedience to orders ; kind¬ 
ness in rewarding good conduct and in 
recognizing an animal’s necessary limita¬ 
tions. Many people make the mistake of 
judging a dog by human standards. 
When all is said and done, common 
sense is the best guide in the care and 
treatment of any animal—that and the 
fact that the Golden Rule applies to dogs 
as well as to men. This is worth more 
than the reading of manv books. 
The Pilgrim Fathers had to cut down 
the trees to get suitable farming land, and 
so did Warren H. Miller when he set to 
making his submarine garden. The story 
starts in the March House and Garden. 
Perhaps it will parallel your experience ; at 
all events it will give you an idea of 
handling refractory forest soil.

SAFETY FIRST 
T A Police Dog insures your children’s 
safety, your house and property, and 
reduces the high cost of insuring your 
property from burglars, tramps, etc. 
The “German Shepherd Dog” is your 
best friend and companion. He does 
anything that any other dog can do, 
and then beats the other dog. His in¬ 
telligence is of the highest order, 
therefore, he will learn readily and obey 
implicitly his master’s slightest order. 
1i A Police‘Dog is not a big brute; his 
wolfish looks do not prevent him from 
being the most gentle and affectionate 
protector. 
1 We specialize in breeding and training 
strains of the “German Shepherd, ” who 
are known to be perfect in character.
