Accordingly as the fear is associated with a particular object, so one kind of shyness may be exhibited. but fear may be associated with several objects If there is a cause tor It from the dog's point of view; and badly tl<eated dogs may show all the different forms, with i general apprehensivcnesa that some•Jitng dreadful Is likely to happen a« any taomenL Sometimes a form of ihyness may result from the mistake »f a moment, but generally It Is the re-

other hand. If he had not the natural Impulse and Inclination, no degree of punishment would vanch him how to chase a rabbit or even to cbdse U at all. Krom the dog's point of view, there la no wrong In chasing a rabbit, chicken or sheep, etc. They are his natural prey; bis delight In their pursuit Is unbounded, he Is following the natural Impulses of bis nature; it le his manner of obtaining the necessities of dog life; yet. if punished, he yields to superior force and dwilts. There Is no part of a dog'o education in which punishment Is of any benefit except as a corrective. The doge knowledge Increases only from experience. The trainer cannot force his own knowledge Into the dog by virtue of whip or spike collar. Even when forcing a dog to retrieve with the later instrument. Its value l£ purely negative. It does not teach the dog

anything about retrieving.

When a dog's fear* are aroused, or when he is made needlessly to feel uncomfortable, worried and uneasy, hts progress as a pupil Is slow. If the lessons are made obnoxious to him. the trainer has succeeded in making them things to be avoided or quickly

While a dog may misbehave and therefore need punishment as a preventive. It must ever be considered that there are degrees of 1L times for it and a manner of applying U which renders it most effective. One trainer may whip a dog severely without thereby losing his confidence or abating his ardor, another one may give i less punishment and still evoke shyness. The one had Uie dog’s conflience and affection; the other had but a small part of them. a dog over-trained Is of much less value as a worker than one that Is but partially trained but whose natural capabilities are unimpaired. In this connection it may be usefully remarked that practically the properly trained dog works without orders at ill. Man end dog seek with concerted action or supplement each other's .efforts, working together for mutual luccees as a team. The dog. allowed to work in his own manner, but restricted more and more to apply bis work in the service of the gun as his iraining progresses, in time learns that great success results from the joint efforts of bis master and himself: and he then performs his part with intelligence and a practical manipulation of means to ends, far beyond iny knowledge which could be conveyed to him by his teacher. A knowledge of the evils of overtraining Is essential In the development and training of field dogs, but It is still more essential In respect to field trial dogs. However satisfactory to his ownar an over-trained dog may be In field work, he will not be conridered as even making a good showing when in competition with properly trained dogs, which are performing under the critical eye of the Judge. Training a dog to loud orders is a bad. course method of teaching obedience. It Is Indicative of bad temper in the trainer, accomplishes nothing which could not be accomplished. In a quieter way. is distinctively offensive lo every one wthln hearing of the hullabaloo, and gives alaitnlng notice to all the birds in the neighborhood that a dangerous, bloodthirsty min has invaded their habitat It thus impairs success. Oftentimes the amateur trainer takes bis gun and goes forth to kill birds.

His own Judgment and selfcontrol are his only reliance, since they are personal and. therefore, entirely outside of the scope of any syspresented by others.—B. Waters,

education.

After the training h gun. regularity In tl

gun. regularity In the lessons is of prime importance. For instance, it will be conceded at once taat It is much better to give a dog a half-hour lesson on each 5f ten days than It is to give him a lesson of five hours’ duration >n one day. While a dog has very good powers of memory, he Boon forgets his first lessons If it is not refreshed by dally repetition in respect Vo them. The trainer may have a similar forgetfulness concerning his

first lessons, which should admonish him to be considerate. While punishment .. -times is a ne-

cessity. ICs use as a whole la unnecessarily comprehensive. There is no loubt but that it is inflicted In most rases under a mistaken belief that it .s useful in forcing''the dog to learn what the tralnei/desires he should learn and that rt really accomplishes the desired purpose. , The idea, so ap-

plied. is a mistaken one. Punis' sever teaches a dog anything

COST OF COOKED MEATS. tdoellon In Wnlcht Dun to tTnatn and Hunger Is one of the necessities that knows no law. When the beef trust assumes to thrust aside all middlemen who stand between producer and consumer—dictating the price of live stock In the field, the cost of transportation. the price at which meat shall ild at wholesale and retail, and even the selection of butchers who major may not do business In all parts of the country—appetite, like water, seeks find the cuannel of least resistance. Now that fresh beef, muttdn, poultry and eggs have been a out of the reach of persons of moderate means, the following sugthe costs of meat when brought to the open door of the stomach are not without public InterIn these times of high-priced meats any Information that Is of value to the consumer, from an economic standpoint. should be widely disseminated. The writer had some curiosity to learn just what the actual meat we consume—that is the amount we put In to satisfy the cravings of hunger or appetite—costs us. We can easily get Ac price from the butcher of his cuts, but those same cuts, roasted, fried or boiled, lose enormously in weight In the cooking processes. and when the different cuts are carefully carved, and all that portion that goes into one’s mouth Is weighed, and then figured back to the first cost, the nr.iults are actually startling. The Investigator commenced by buying a rib roast for Sunday dinner. It weighed ten pounds, and cost 12.25. That roast was carefully carved, and every ounce consumed in two days, id the meat that was actually eaten )st 51 cents per pound! A leg of mutton came next, a good big one. at IS cento a pound, which was considered a bargain. This boiled, and cost *2 cento for what ual meat R fumlshed.
