THE DOG FOR THE FARMER.
The Scotch Collie is Very Intelligent
and is a Faithful and Will-
ing Worker.
(By W. S. King.)
The dog is of value to the farmer
only if he is sufficiently intelligent to
do a part of his work, iHs duties may
be small; nothing more than going
after the cows, driving chickens from
the house or yards, watching property
or acting as a playmate for a child
companion, but in all cases intelli-
gence or trustworthiness are caidina

but their usefulness overbalances th
purchase price and tax I.say'tax be-
cause I list my dogs upon the tax book
along with my other properly. I con-
sider them property as much as the
cow or horse. The dog T have in mind
as an ideal farmer’s dog, which is no.
surpassed by any other kind for in-
telligence, usefulness and beauty, is
the Scotch collie. The intelligence
these dogs display in driving stock
and other animals is certainly re-
markable. Cattle men that I have sold
dock to tell me that while driving
a bunch of cattle to the pasture in
summer, when the grass is good along
the road and the cows are hungry, 1
is very difficult to drive a large herd,
but that one dog would keep an en-
tire herd moving with very little help

from the herdsman. There would be
no chasing or fierce barking to tngh-
ten them, but the laggards would get
a nip on the heels and soon learn to
respect the collie’s authority.
It would be difficult indeed, to over-
estimate the intelligence of a good
collie. He thinks and acts for him-
self under difficulties and conditions
new to him. In matters relative to his
special duties he rarely fails. That
‘ he feels the responsibility of Ins
charge and acts independently of spe-
cial orders all who have had oppor-
tunities of observing him must admit
