laborious to supply in a compendious
form. The volume Of the game lsgis-
iation OF 1911 30 exceeded that of any
preceding year that even to note
changes in the laws is quite an under
taking. All but eight of the states put
new game laws on the statute books
this year.
Delaware forbade the use of dogs
wearing bells or other noise producing
devices in wild fowl shooting. North
Dakota the use of automobiles IN
duck shooting, and Michigan the en-
ployment Of guinea pigs in hunting
rabbits. New Hampshire has prohib-
tied the scientific collecting" of birds.
Tennessee Is one Of those southern
states that have come under the be-

keep. Volumes have been written regarding the
remarkable Intelligence and judgment displayed
by the shepherd dogs OF this and other countries
IN minding hocks of sheep and thousands of dogs
are today doing mems work in this field Similar
~ efncient 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
Tree 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 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 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 the rural
communities the farmers are going to find dogs in
aispensable In one more direction for 1t 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 a picnic
All the above has reference, of course to the
value as helpers on the farm but this by no means
exnausts the possibilities of the subject On an
increasing number of farms 1t has been found
tnat 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 can be made a most profitable
one. for fine dogs bring big prices and the farmer
mas the facilities for breeding dogs under the best
conditions without fraction of the investment
that would be required of man who established
kennel on a tract of land used for no other pur-
pose. Moreover the farmers wife and children
can GO 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
1t VIII prove irksome either, for there is nothing
more amusing than the average puppy and he
does not as rule require that extreme soIicitous
care that must be bestowed upon some other
classes Of pet stock
The species Of dogs which may most adyan-
tageously be selected farm helpers u.s. of course
matter of individual opinion and there are al
most as many different opinions on the subject as
with the regard to the age at which people should
