But the great joke of all is the

out his chest and tells the people to
look at Jack Williams, Of Cochise,

remarkable intelligence and Judgment displayed
by the shepherd dogs of this and othes countries
in minding hocls of sheep and thousands or dogs
are today doing mems rk 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

are a 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 a big timesaver for the farmer when as is so
often the case. the X. f. ID. box is located a con
siderable distance from the dwelling.
Some persons have 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 OF
milk to the creameres and do other work that we
now entrust to horses but this prediction is not
generally accepted because Of the great distances
involved I'm this country. However, there Is no
reason why the usefulness OF intelligent CANNES
