Rss'rance that one more dogs are on watch to
give quick warning of anything out of the or

The dog on the farm helps in variety of ways
but 1T is question after all whether his great
est value does not lie in the companonship he
affords. The farmer and the farmers wife, par

be mighty lonely at times save for the faithful

mates within several miles, might be hard put
TO 1t for amusement were 1t not for the sef-same
animal-proyerbiay patient under childish ty-
Tanny 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 man living in house
in row 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 dog companion is the worth OF the serv
Ice he renders as a guardian of life and property
on the farm. 1t is not merely, for instance that

to the very frequent rescues from drownings in
which dogs play the part of heroes.
AT night when the farmer and his family
asleep this vigilance on the part of alert CANNES
is an almost invaluable safeguard and under ideal
conditions 1t affords the farmer as good or better
protection than can 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 a shrewd farmer
thinks 1t wise to keep not merely one good dog
but three four. With one dog inside the house
aud 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 to give warning of the approach of trespass-
ers but they are equally servceable aarmists
