keep. Volumes have been written regarding the
remarkable intelligence and judgment displayed
by the shepherd dogs of this and other countries
in nlinding nocks of sheep and thousands of dogs
are today doing mems work in this field. Similar
ly efficient service Is performed very frequently
by dogs in assisting to drive cattle to market or
to the railroad yards and even In the more deli
cate work of rounding up" poultry. Finally there
are hundred minor services as, for example, that
performed by the numerous farm dogs that have
been taught by their masters to meet the rural
free delivery carrier each day and to bring to the
farm house the mail and the daily paper. This
is big time-sayer for the farmer when, as Is so
often the case, the r. F. D. box Is located con-
siderable distance from the dwelling.
Some persons have even predicted that the
time will come In America when some Of our
farmers will employ dogs as they do In Holland
and other foreign countries to draw the carts or
milk to the creameres and do other work that we
entrust to horses, but this prediction is not
generally accepted because of the great distances
involved In this country However, there is no
reason why the usefulness of Intelligent CANNES
should not be still further developed and certain
ly as the automobile habit spreads in the rural
communities the farmers going to find dogs in
dispensable in one more ERECTION for 1t has been
proven that there Is deterrent like dog that
looks as though he meant business for warning Off
the Joy riders who wont to appropriate auto
mobiles that they find standing unguarded In the
treets or In market space at picnic.
wi lL2rse above has reference, of course to the
valueyas helpers on the farm but this by no means
exhausts the possibilities of the subject. On an
increasing number OF farms 1t has been found
that dogs can be made source of actual revenue.
This is accomplished by breeding blooded dogs
for the market 1t Is of necessity side line
to be sure, but 1t be made most profitable
one, for hne dogs bring big prices and the farmer
has the facilities for breeding dogs under the best
conditions without fraction of the investment
that would be required Of man who established
kennel on tract Of land used for no other pur-
pose Moreover the farmers wife and children
can do most of the work of caring for the dogs,
just as they do In many instances in the case
of the poultry. There Is not much danger that
1t will prove irksome either, for there Is nothing
more amusing than the average puppy, and he
does not rule require that extreme solicitous
care that must be bestowed upon some other
classes of pet stock.
The species Of dogs which may most advan-
tageously be selected farm helpers is of course
a matter OF individual opinion and there are al
most as many different opinions the subject as
with che regard to the age at which people should
marry Naturally, personal preferences on the
part of the farmer and the members Of his family
ofttimes have much to do with choice and then
again the sort OF assistance that is desired from

Jeff Him Far Behind.

Childish standards of greatness are
interesting because they are
at once so like yet SO unlike the
standards of grown folk. Many an
adult, for instance, has been proud
with no more reasonable basis than
that which little Johnnie displayed in
attempting to "top" the boasting Of a
Juvenile comrade.
Tive got real railroad train, with
an engine that goes, an a real, live
pony, an really, truly gun, an .
That's nothing!" interrupted the
lads disguised listener. "Once knew
a boy that sat up until II o'clock
twice In one week."

passing vehicles If his master has arrived at the
Mxury OF an automobile. And In nine cases out
Of ten the farmer and his family could not drop
contentedly off to slumber at night without the
assurance that more dogs are on watch to
give quick warning of anything out of the or
binary
The dog the farm helps in a variety of ways,
out 1t is question after all whether his great
est value does not lie in the companionship he
affords. (. The farmer and the farmers wife, par
eicularly If they live In isolated locality, would
be mighty lonely at times save for the faithful
dog and a lone child a farm with no play"
mates within several miles, might be hard put
TO 1t for amusement were 1t not for the self-same
animal-proverbially patient under childish ty-
Fanny and ever ready to join in any diverting
project And. since most people consider big
dogs the best companions, the farmer Is fortu-
nate IN his ability to choose with reference to
such preference. The city living in house
In or. worse yet cOoped up in fat finds
the term house dog" synomous with small size,
but In the country, where the average home has
large lawn and the dwelling has wide porches
there need be no line of discrimination drawn be-
tween the house dog and the 'out doors dog"
Closely linked to the sentimental value of the
farm Cog companion Is the worth of the serv-
Ace he renders as guardian of life and property
on the farm. 1t Is not merely, for instance that
such dog can serve as companion for the farm
he is able to offer very tangible protection from
annoyance by tramps or other unwelcome Wis
ltors. Similarly the Intelligent canine can exer-
else almost human watchfuness over the chill
dren when they are out Of sight and out of hear
ing Of their elders, and In proof Of the dogs ca
liabilities In this role 1t is only necessary to point
to the very frequent rescues from drownings in
which dogs play the part Of heroes.
Al night when the farmer and his family are
asleep this vigilance the part Of alert CANNES
Is al almost invaluable safeguard and under ideal
conditions II affords the farmer as good or better
protection than be claimed for his city cousin
residing on street patrolled by policemen. 1t is
because OF the diverse responsibilities of this
night sentry work that many shrewd farmer
thinks 1t wise to keep not merely one good dog
but three or four. With one dog inside the house
and another outside the building and with other
dogs inside and outside the barn the farmer need
have little fear that he will lack for warnings
should anything out OF the ordinary transpire
These dogs can be depended upon. moreover. not
only 10 give warning OF the approach of trespass
ers but they are equally serviceable as alarnists
should fire break out or should any of the stock
get loose IN the night or invade the feed bins.
Such canine services tangible is their value

grateful dogs assume ia return for their modest

The Trouble With Humor.

Is too apt to use upon his boss Then,
with a laugh Mr.. Brown uttered this
