Collie Dogs Said to Become Despond-

Of collie dogs. A kind of melancholy
seems to take possession of them
when their activities and usefulness
are impaired.
The writer has known a Scotch col
lie to take, as it were, a farewell look
at the old herding hills one day and
then to plunge into the sea with
whining cry, and thus end its misery.
Hunters have known the elk buck
and other big game to leap over preci-
pieces deliberately and mange them
selves when the man-enemy was with
in steady range of his prey.
A stork has been known to perish

risk as her birdlings, and seemingly

is to be evolved.
Manufacturers of road materials, as
well as the federal and state high

meet the requirements of one state
would be rejected in another often
because of different interpretations Of
specifications. Much of this work is

GOOD ROADS AND DRlVEWAYS
ways to Enable Farmer to
Handle Produce.

A well-ordered farm should have
well-ordered roads and driveways to
and around the buildings. In ether
words, private roads on the farm are
as important to the interests they
serve as the public roads over which
the farmers produce is marketed. A
good road from the farmers gate to
his marketing place should not be de-
preciated by a poor road from the
gate to the barn or packing house.
