. Biggle pet book ; a collection of information for old and young whose natural instincts teach them to be kind to all living creatures. Pets. lO BICiGLE PET awhile and seems to be uneasy and be smelling around, put him out at once. Train him to " speak " by bark- ing once when he wants to be let out, also when he wants to come in. Don't let him form the habit of scratching the doors. The greatest comfort in the ownership of a dog is to have one that will mind intelligently and quickly. This part of his education must be begun early in his life. After he has learned to come to you when called, to follow you when ordered to do so, and to lie down and stay there when you tell him, he has mastered the three "R's" of his education, and after that you can do almost any- thing with him. Be firm but kind with your dog and have abundance of patience. Never give a command you cannot enforce. Be consistent, don't let him do one thing one day and the next punish him for it. The first time a dog commits a fault is the time to correct him. Don't let him form a bad habit, such as running out in the road and barking at passers-by, or howling at night to the disturbance of everybody, and then expect to stop him at once. It will take ten times the effort then. If it is necessary to punish him, two or three sharp taps with a little switch, or better yet a roUed- up newspaper, over his back at the time the fault is committed will probably be all that is necessary. Never strike a dog on the head, and, I hardly think it necessary to say, never kick a dog. Do not punish a KESWICK MIKE.
