Dogs Need Frequent
Release From Chain
The following humane appeal
made by a correspondent in the
Dog World shows pointedly how
dogs are the victims of a cruel, prac­
tice; how their dispositions may be
spoiled, and their Ilves rendered
unnatural and unhappy:
“May I plead through your col-
umns for the better treatment of
dogs who are continually chained,
sometimes for weeks and months,
without being liberated from their
- imprisonment? The other day a
man stated in a police court that
his dog had not been off the chain
for twelve months; from its puppy­
hood, it had been fastened up with­
out an hour of liberty,
“As a lover of dogs 1 hold that
every dog is entitled to regular ex­
ercise, and that it Is unjustifiable
cruelty to imprison a dog for life.
Such treatment makes a dog hop«»-
less and miserable; he becomes de­
jected and often savage, and his
health suffers seriously.
“A young dog can be trained to
be a guard without chaining, and
the best watchdogs are those which
are not chained. Chains are a heri­
tage of bygone days and should be
abolished.”
The 4>est way to keep a dog that
needs restraint Is to put him In a
yard with a high fence. If this Is
not practicable, fasten a wire across
any yard; on this put an iron ring
which, when attachtal by a cord to
the dog’s collar, will allow him to
run backward and forward the full
length of the wire. The yard should
have shade as well as sunshine, to
protect the dog from too great heat
of the sun.
x
Make your dog your companion!
and friend. Treat him kindly and j
he will respond.
It Is cruel to tie a dog under a
wagon or allow him to follow an
automobile or bicycle. Let him ride
with you.

Outright theft of timber Is rare
In the^national forests. Each year
there are some cases of timber
trespass, but usually these tres­
passes happen through no crlmlnnl
intent. They are freauently due to
Imperfect title records on the part
of private operators. The govern­
ment maintains a corps of rangers
and forest guards on the national
forests, who In the course of their
dally work are constantly travel­
ing through the forest areas under
their Jurisdiction. This patrol pre­
vents deliberate theft and discovers
and corrects unintentional trespass.
The pennlty for deliberate trespass
is severe and Is applied rigorously.
