keep Volumes have been written regarding the
remarkable Intelligence and judgment displayed
by the shepherd dogs OF this and other countries
in minding ilocks 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-saver 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 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 creameries and do other work that we
now 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 thu rural
communities the farmers are going to find dogs in
dispensable in one more ERECTION, for It has been
proven that there is no deterrent like dog that
LOOKS as though he meant business for warning off
the Joy riders who are wont to appropriate auto
mobiles that they find standing unguarded in the
reefs or in market space or at picnic.
All the above has reference, of course to the
value as helpers 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 OF actual revenue
This is accomplished by breeding blooded dogs
for the market 1t is of necessity side line"
to be sure, but 1t can be made most profitable
one for fine dogs bring big prices and the farmer
has the facilities for breeding dogs under the best
conditions without a fraction of the investment
that would be required of man who established
a 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 so many instances in the case
OF the poultry. There is not much danger that
it will prove irksome either, for there is nothing
more amusing than the average puppy, and he
does not as rule require that extreme socitous
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 many different opinions on the subject as
with the 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 a choice and then

luxury OF an automobile. And in nine cases out
OF ten the farmer and his family could not drop
contentedly off to sumber at night without the
assurance that or more dogs are on watch IN
give quick warning OF anything out of the or
binary
The dog on the farm helps in a variety OF ways
but 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.
ucularly If they live in an isolated locality would
be mighty lonely at times save for the faithful
dog and lone child on a farm with no play
mates within several miles, might be hard put
to 1t for amusement were it not for the self-same
anlmal-proVerbially patient under childish ty-
ranny 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 a house
in row or, worse yet, cooped up in a fiat. 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 as 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
such dog can serve companion for the farm
ers wife when she Is left alone, but better yet
ne Is able to offer very tangible protection from
annoyance by tramps or other unwelcome Wis
1tors Similarly the intelligent canine can exer
else an almost human watchfulness 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.
At night when the farmer and his family are
asleep this vigilance the part of alert CANNES
is an almost invaluable safeguard and under ideal
conditions 1t affords the farmer good or better
protection than be claimed for his city cousin
residing on a street patrolled by policemen It 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 or four. With 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 to give warning of the approach OF trespass-
ers but they are equally serviceabie as aarmists
should fire break out or should any of the stock
get loose In the night or invade the feed bins
Such canine services tangible as is their value
are by no means all the responsibilities that
grateful dogs assume in return for their modest
