 Gen. John Bidwell related to the Oroville (Cal.) Register the following as showing how well trained the shep- herd dog becomes. He and a friend were riding in the Salinas valley when they came to band of one thousand or more sheep guarded by ten or twelve shepherd dogs. There were from twenty-five to thirty coyotes along the edge of the hills and within a short distance of the sheep, but between the two were the well trained and vigilant dogs. ''Two or three times while we were in sight one or more of the coy otes made dash for the sheep. but each time they were driven back by the guardians of the flock. We rode on and put up at the Gomez ranch, which was owned by a wealthy native Californian. About sundown the sheep. driven by the dogs, came up to the house and the flock entered cor ral. Two of the dogs laid down at the entrance and waited there until the owner came out and put up the bars. Then the master patted his different dogs and fed them well. He told us that the dogs drove these sheep out on the plains two or three miles in the morning, remained with them during the day, kept the coyotes and other animals at bay, and each evening drove them up to the house and into the cor ,-a1 ,,
