MONROE REFRIGERATOR CO.. Established 1868, Station 4B, Lockland, O. 
very docile. He needs, however, careful 
training, for he has an exuberance of 
spirits that must be reasonably controlled. 
On no account can he be convicted of being 
a vicious or treacherous dog. It is, how¬ 
ever, wisest to start one’s bull terrier early 
in the way that you would have him follow. 
Do not lead him into temptation in the 
form of a stray cat or a yapping alley 
mongrel. Be sure that as a youngster he 
thoroughly learns obedience, but use physi¬ 
cal punishment as sparingly as possible. 
Under the whip he may get stubborn, but 
a sound scolding, or confinement in a box, 
or tying up on a short lead will work won¬ 
ders. The best way is to strive to develop 
his higher nature, if I may be allowed to 
use this phrase. He will respond quickly 
and permanently to such treatment. 
In absolute contradiction to all popular 
opinion, a “white ’un” is a capital dog with 
children. He is kind and gentle, strong 
and long-suffering. Moreover, he is the 
best protector in the world. In this his 
unsavory reputation is quite an asset, in¬ 
creasing considerably his efficiency as a 
guard. He is a very faithful dog and 
jealous of those he loves, fitting him ad¬ 
mirably to serve as coiwoy to the children 
or escort of their mother. As a night 
watchman he also shines, and for similar 
reasons. In the suburbs or the country, 
then, he comes close to being an ideal 
family dog. Nobody can deny his attrac¬ 
tive personality. His snowy jacket, his 
trim, clean-cut "figure, his aristocratic mien, 
all stamp him indelibly as the thorough¬ 
bred. His smooth coat, too, is a point 
in his favor, since few Americans fancy a 
wire-haired dog, and a long coat, despite 
its beauty, is something of a care, if it is 
to be kept looking at its best. No one 
could ever mistake a bull terrier for "just 
a dog,” and every one who knows him 
well loves him. He is a much more uni¬ 
versally popular dog than he gets credit 
for being, and while he does not make the 
splurge at the bench shows or in the cir¬ 
cles of the out-and-out dog fanciers that 
some more recently introduced novelties 
do, still he has a host of true friends all 
over the country, ever ready to testify that 
he is a very good dog, in spite of his bad 
name. 
Making a Pool for Fishes and Birds 
(Continued from page 339) 
I have purposelv left flowers out of this 
garden. Colors would dwarf the scheme, 
with the exception of the pale Iris 
lavender and opalescent — I depend for 
my effect entirely upon the shades of 
green, relieved only by the gleaming gold 
fish in the pond. 
The plants which I buy half-grown from 
the greenhouse are those which quickly 
make a showing, so I lose little time in 
getting mv effects. The irrigation helps 
wonderfully in this. Some of the Ele¬ 
phant’s Ears in the photograph measured 
as much as 31 inches by 18 inches, and
