some of them may be taken from

in order, but if he is imply to re-

BECAME A DISGRACE TO KIN
Scotch CoIlles Reverted to Wild State
When Imported Into Patagonia
and Argentina.

Some years ago the shepherds of
Patagonia and Argentina imported a
large number Of Scotch sollies into
those countries to help herd the sheep.
But imagination seemed to spoil the
companionable, affectionate and intel
ligent dog from the Highlands. In
two or three years his entire nature
changed and he became Independent,
snappish, sly and disobedient. Bad
treatment may have had something
to do with it, but by twos and threes
the collies rapidly deserted the fiocks
and took to the woods, where they
soon became wild dogs.
They have increased so fast and
become so fierce in both countries
that not only do they carry off small
animals and fowls, but have grown
30 bold that they do not hesitate to
attack travellers even in broad day
light. They travel in packs, and when
hunted scatter to hiding places In
the rocks. The Patagonian and Ar.
gentine governments have offered
bounties for every wild dogs brush,
and while the war Of determination
may deplete both national treasures
the only effect 1t has had on the col
lies has been to make them keep to
cover during the day. Every shep
herd goes armed and keeps a constant
lookout, but shooting has not de-
creased their numbers, and poison has
been tried without success, as they
are too shrewd to eat anything set
for them.
