THE COLLIE. 513 



where, and we predict for this noble breed a brilliant 

 future. In Europe, he has been transplanted from the hut 

 of the Gillie to the palace, and has become (to use the 

 words of a well-known English breeder) " the gentleman' s 

 dog." The credit is due to England for breeding the Collie 

 up to its present high standard, but America is not far 

 behind in this matter. The Collie has a strong hold in the 

 States, and numbers among his friends men of wealth and 

 influence, who strive to obtain the best specimens, regard- 

 less of price. It is not an uncommon thing to-day to see 

 the Collie on the plains of the Far West, following the 

 "bands" of sheep, guarding and protecting them from the 

 hungry coyote; and when his qualities are better known, 

 every farmer in our country will be the happy possessor of 

 one of these faithful animals.
