THE PoACHER's DOG.
Gives Warning of Gamekeeper's Ap-
 prOach and Hunts SiIent.''
T'rom the Scots1nan.

CF'rOn the ScOtsInan.) During the recent trial of a poacher at Llangollen, North Wales% it came
 cut in evidence that his canine com panion on forays acted as an advance
 scout and gave him notice of the presence and whereabouts of the gamekeepers. Actions of that kind are all 9 matter of training, and when the training f'runs in families'' the habit becomes dufte instinctfve, so that with the pups of old poaching dogs very little teaching is necessary. The the 1urcher, product of the grey hound and smooth coated Scotch collie, especially if the dog is to be used for hare poaching after dark.
 thunts silent''-that is. it never gives a .Whimper in the chase: A dog of if it finds it's prey outmanoeuvring or cutdistancing it gives utterance to loud yelps-a perilous thing to do on a dark, still night, as it may be heard for a mile or more around.
 An old Ayrshire poacher of past generation had a. wonderfully trained dog went in opposite directions, the dog often making a circuit of many miles but never failing to meet it's master at some appointed place. That dog also acted as a spy on gamekeep- CTS, especially those of the old tipping, ruffianly school, now almost extinct.
 Dogs of that kind, so highly trained and instinctively hunters. often CO., operate among themselves in forayS and by skilfully initiating lessons taught them by man often do an inn meEse amount of injury. The writer adds:
 T knew two collie dogs that show ed great skill in cooperative rabbit and when they snapped more than they could carry to their respective homes (xide apart), they hid the carcasses and removed them bit by bit.'
 Night sheep worrying by dogs is a curious e'instinctive'' survival of a trained habit neoIithic or palaeeIitI1ic man taught wild canidae long before Cadmus or any other pundit brought him letters.
