THK DOG IN THE DAIRY.— It has become fashionable 

 to decrv the dog. To use a cant phrase, "Everybody is down 

 on him." It is the rarest thing in the world for anybody to

I In 



best 



friend, but that was some time ago in the days of chivalry, or 

 at some other period anterior to this utilitarian age in which 

 he is no longer considered a companion as of old. But there, 

 was nothing created without some wise purpose on the part 

 of the Creator. The dog was given to man for a companion 

 and servant, and although there are degenerate dogs, as there 

 are degenerate men, there is very great injustice in the indis- 

 criminate denunciation of him which so widely prevails, The 

 organs of the agricultural interest are among' the most per- 

 sistent and indiscriminate denouncers of him, and yet tlieie 

 is no class of men to whom he is or may be of so valuable 

 sendee as to farmers, and especially to stock 1 niseis and 

 dairymen. The legislation of the day is unjust to him too, 

 in that it makes no distinction between the cur of low degree 

 whose instincts and associations all tend to make him aslieep 

 thief, and the dog whose breeding and training make his ser- 

 vices to bis master moro valuable than those of any hired 

 servant in his household. The trained dog is a better herds- 

 man for Held service than any man of boy. He nrvrr tires 



Careful driver than any man. and never injures the animal in 

 any other way. If the cows have a wide range and are left 

 to themselves during the clay, he is worth half a dozen men 

 for gathering in tin- stragglers at night. Cows have an an- 

 no.viug habii of straggling and stopping as the herd is being 

 driven home. The dog euros that habit at once and all walk 

 orderly along, A number of .laiivmen met by accident one 

 day aud began to compare the yields ol their respective herds 

 for the season. Having discussed their own. thov turned to 

 the. discussion of an absent neighbor's. How is it. said one, 

 Ih.-ii M— .-ii ways gets a better yield from his dairy than any of 

 the rest of us? Ho is the most slip-shod farmer in the neigh- 

 borhood: he never spends any money on fences, he buys'all 

 the breachy cows anybody has to 'sell, and at the end of 

 th" year lie snows the best balance sheet. I would like 

 to know his secret. Well, said another, I have watched 

 him for two years, and I believe fhc whole secret is 

 in two very simple tilings: he attends to his business and 

 keeps a fifty dollar dog to help him. A fifty dollar dog! 1 

 would not have a dog among my cows at any price, said 

 neighbor No. S, and I did not know that he kept one. Well, re- 

 plied No. 2, M — has a dog that takes his cows to pasture, and 

 takes care of them and brings them back in due season. There 

 is no worrying of the cows and no worrying about them. It 

 docs not make any difference how breachy they are, or how 

 poor the fences arc the cows are always in place. The dog 

 don't get drunk, he don't go sparking, and he never claims a 

 hohilav. M- paid S',o for him and he would be a good invest- 

 ment at $500. Win- there is I). B. over in the next town. He 

 has a forest pasture of 600 acres and half as much more of 

 slough. He keeps a large herd of all sorts of cattle and his III 

 cows run among them. His dog drives and fetches the cows, 

 and it is very rarely that ho fails to get them all: but if he 

 does, on being told that they are not all there, he goes 

 through the yard and looks them all over to see what ones 

 are missing and away he goes for them. Ten men in all that 

 wide range could not find a missing cow as soon as he. It 

 would be worth a ride over there to see him drive in the de- 

 linquent cow if you only knew when to go. He is as proud 

 of his achievement as a detective who has caught a bank 

 thief. During the clay he tends the poultry and looks after 

 things generally about the house and if ho never drove a cow 

 ho would be worth all this dog cost. 1 have made up my 

 mind to have a dog when I can find a trained one, but I do 

 not want any cur and I do not want to try aud train one my- 

 self.— Hivutlers' Lire Stuck Journal. 



know what brindled means, or what is th. 

 word? I suppose everyone knows what a brindled dog is, 

 but I am free to confess my ignorance, until now, respecting 

 tho etymology of the word. I got the clew from a letter 

 written by a fancier in England to a gentleman in the Suites. 

 aud I might say the writer is not an etymologist iu the 

 slightest sense, hut is simply giving the two words in use 

 among the country folks with whom old-fashioned words I

The best aud handsomest brindled dogs I ever saw 

 w.re givvh*unds. I fancy you wUl have seen in your 

 country old-fashioned bull-terriers and bulldogs 'branded' or 

 brindled. Mastiff's are something similar, but of course, they 

 are not all brindled the same— generally a slate color with 

 brown or tan marks or stripes. Some have very little, being 

 nearly all slate color." If in sending this I have not, in your 

 opinion, made too great a display of nescience, you can let 

 my name sland at Ihc fail end.— J as. Watso.N. 



liOliDDN SETTER STANDARD.— Baltimore, Feb. III.— 

 /■,(,/", /-' . . <: oi,./ Nr.vibii: I have been notitied that the Pitts- 

 burgh Bench Show of clogs has adopted a new stand.-. id tor 

 Gordon setters. Rule 15 in their book reads as follows: "The 

 judges will be rogUBBtotl to make their decisions hi conformity 

 with scale of points, except Gordon setters, which will be 

 judged by the Malcolm standard." 1 hope this step will en- 

 courage all owners of light made Gordons to scud their entries 

 to Pittsburgh at once. A full list for them would thoroughly 

 ije'-ritv and good faith of all of iw. to uphold and 

 endorse the standard. Let us now show to the country what 

 light made Gordons are, and convince all old fogies that 

 "Stoneheuge" is it thing of the past.— Habby Malcolm.

 the old veterans. For mine I will bring forward I.'ncle Jep. 

 oi founeewcut. In conversation with Mr. CoJNcw Haven, 

 an old dealer in furs, be told me that he had bought over nine 

 hundred fox pelts that Uncle Jep had shot himself. When 

 he started revnard it was two to one that the fox's pelt went 

 home in Uncle Jcp's pocket. Rev.najid.
