bring them home to the fold at night, alone and unaided. 

 The Collie will work on cattle and hogs as well as on sheep, 

 and can be taught to herd all kinds of poultry. 



He makes a capital retriever, has a fair nose, and with 

 proper training becomes a tolerable hunter. He is quick 

 to attack and kill all kinds of vermin.

The training of the Collie for all kinds of farm -work is 

 not a difficult matter. As soon as the whelp is old enough 

 to leave the nest and follow the dam, it will be " tagging" 

 after her to the field to bring up the stock, and in a few 

 short weeks the little fellow will go to the field alone. It 

 is then necessary to curb him, to teach him to come and go 

 at your bidding. The most effectual plan to get complete 

 control is to attach a light cord, of sufficient length, to the 

 collar, and when the puppy goes too rapidly, pull him up 

 sharply, and at the same time give the command "Slow."
