D. Hoard farm showed surprising in
telligence one night this week. The
foreman, Mr.. Kramer, was awakened
by the barking of the dogs at o'clock
in the morning. He found that the
cows had broken out of the night pas
ture into the corn some distance from
the house The dogs had discovered
this fact and had. brought up 20 of the
COWS to the yard and were keeping
guard over them. He sent them back
for the remainder of the herd which
they brought to the yard. When the
dogs brought up the first lot they set
up loud barking about the house to
arouse some one to the facts in the
case. Altogether it was rather re-
markable piece of voluntary work on
the part of these dogs.
