The Sheep Dogs Intelligence.

From the Ludgate Magazine
Since the introduction of sheep-dog
trials in Wales and England, this high
" interesting and instructive sport is
becoming yearly more popular. On a
fine day II would indeed be difficult to
find a more interesting sight than the
highly trained shepherds dog, or collie
working the little flock of three of the
widest sheep over the course in a most
wonderful manner The friendhness
and joviaI good humor of the owners of
contrast to the jeaIOusies so often pres
ent at sporting meetings. added to
which the fresh air, healthy surround
fngs and gay thrOngS go to make A
thorough days enjoyment
The shepherd working the dog stands
at the post, from which he is not allow
ed to move more than six yards At
given signal three sheep are liberated
from the pen: the shepherd then sends
his dog to the sheep, which are to be
driven in the direction Indicated by the
arrows and between the hurdles: if any
of the sheep go outside the hurdles the
dog must bring them back and take
them the proper course, to the triangu-
lar pen of three hurdles, which has an
opening of % inches, or Just wide
enough to allow one sheep to enter a a
time; he has then to pen them. the
time allowed being thirteen minutes
from the time the sheep are first Hber-
ated- The worker Of the dog is al
lowed TO assist, without, however. touch
ing the sheep when the dog has brought
them I'D to the pen The shepherd
works the dog almost entirely by whis-
ting or motions. Often the sheep sep
arate at the commencement: the dog
has then to bring them together and
start with his charge at the proper
place The competitor may be success
full in driving his three sheep up to the
pen at the end Of tks trial; he has then
4 most difficult task. and the utmost
patience and skill are then required as
only one sheep can enter at a time and
the other two will often go outside the
pen It is then the dogs Sagacity is
shown He viii crasvI on his belly
like q cat and quietly drive them inch
by inch until he gets them in the open
ing and the three jostIed into the pen
Another innovation has lately been
introduced at some trials. The shep-
herds mark three sheep, which are
driven among a flock of about a hun
dred or more The dog has then to
find the marked sheep and bring them
from among the others. which he does
showing wonderful sagacity and intelIi-
gence in doing So
In training cOllies the young dogs are
generally taught by accompanying old
dogs. Months of patient toll are re-
Quired to fit them to compete at trials
successfully. The young dog is very
wild and apt to overrun the sheep in
which case the shepherd often has to
devise a means TO hold him in check
which he does by tying up one of his
front paws with his pocket handker-
chief around the dogs neck thus Ieav-
ing the dog only three legs to run on
and it is surprising how soon the dog
understands its meaning

PINGREE IGNORED.
Michigan House Refuses to Listen to
the Governors Defense

Lansing. Mich. May 24-In conse-
quence OF a report by a minority of the
house committee which investigated the
expenditure OF tn war fund, in which
the prices paid for food and clothing
for the Michigan troops were shown TO
be much higher than the cost in other
states and in which the governor was
criticised for making certain purchases
and for selling shoes for one Of the
regiments. the governor last night sent
4 long message bearing on this report
to the house Governor Pingree Ques-
toned the motives which prompted the
minority report, taking the ground that
the best was none stOO good for the
soldiers and that there was no time to
look about for better prices.
Speaker Adams refused to receive the
message and ordered it returned TO the
governor He declared that only mem
bers of the house were entitled 10 wash
