INTELLIGENT CANNES.
The Work Done by Collies on a Cali
fOrnia Ranch.

The Work Done by Collies on a Cali
fOrnia Ranch.
Nothing in my whole western trip in
terested me more" said distinguished
traveller the other day, than the work l
saw done on large sheep ranch in Cali
fornina by half dozen or more collies.
According to my host, each one Of them
saved him good S75 per month in
wages, did his work far better than any
two men could do it, while his board
would not average tenth of what 1t
would cost to keep man. The ranch
which l visited extended over thousands
of acres, while my friend inclosed iu his
corral each night no fewer than 10000
sheep. The corral is simply large in
closure surrounded by solid, high brick
wall. Into this the sheep are driven at
night to protect them from the wolves,
which in California would make short
work of focks left out in the open plain
or insecurity housed.
ARRIVING at the ranch just at nightfall
had the opportunity Of seeing the dogs
conduct their various focks into the fold
and expressed great surprise at their
wonderful ceverness and skill.
"'Oh, but this Is the least part Of IT,
said by host. You should see the intalli-
gent creatures go about their mornings
work In that they really show more than
ordinary human insight 1t would be well
worth your morning nap for once to
watch them
Accordingly at early dawn the next
morning I arose, and as I stood gazing
spellbound at the breadth OF the skyline
and the illimtable expanse Of the plains
my attention was called to the business
of the day by the friendly barking of the
collies. They had just finished their
breakfast and were making their way to
the corral, the gates of which stood open.
In they bounded among the promiscuous
assembly of sheep, and then each began
to single out his own especial flock, for Of
these thousands Of animals, like one an
other as so many peas each collie comes
in some subtle way to know which Of
them are under his especial care. BY
system of running, seeming, pushing,
crowding and elbowing he finally gets his

they do not seem to know when their
flock should be taken to new pastures.

few months the grass is exhausted, and

Tankcrs Carrying Sugar.

The fact that two regular tank
steamers are bound to Philadelph a
with sugar from the far East is a
most surprising one and practically
establishes precedent in this line.
There is a side to this unusual oc-
currence, however, which developed
yesterday. and one which is the
source of much satisfaction to oil
shippers.
1t will be remembered that about
year ago much alarm was occa-
stoned oil exporters in this country,
by the rapid inroads made into their
Eastern trade by the Russian COM
panies. The recently found oil
wells on the Caspian Sea became
the bugbear of the Standard Oil
Company, who, from the reports re-
ceived, feared the most formidable
competition. 1t was even said by
those who ought TO Know. that the
American product would be driven
from the far Eastern market.
The two steamers mentioned,
which are headed for the Delaware
Breakwater. are the British tank.
ers Turbo and Flax. They have
loaded full cargoes of sugar in Java
and will reach Philadelphia within
a month.
A reporter saw representative
of the Standard Oil Company in re.
gard to this curious selection of an
oil steamer to carry sugar 1t was
learned that the two steamers took
their unusual cargoes simply to
avoid coming over to these waters
in ballast. '
The interesting fact is also evi.
dent that the withdrawal of the
vessels was for the simple reason
that there is no work for them any
longer in the much boomedRussian-
Java oil trade.
This fact, of so much interest to
this country, is equivalent to saying
that the bottom has fallen out OF the
Caspian Sea boom, at least to the
extent that two big ships were With
drawn simply because they could
get no business.
