A DOG THAT EVERY FARMER NEEDS. 



One of the most important and valuable additions a farmer can make to 

 his stock-yard is a Scotch Coliie. 



The pure-bred Scotch Collie Shepherd Dog takes as naturally to driving stock as the Pointer and 

 Setter to hunting birds. They are of a kind and afiFectionate disposition, and become strongly attached 

 to their master's family. They are very watchful and always on the alert, while their intelligence is really 

 marvellous. At one year old they are able to perform full duty, herding sheep, cattle, swine and other 

 kinds of stock, attending them all day when necessary, keeping them together and where they belong, and 

 driving off strange dogs and intruders. They learn to know their master's animals from others in a very 

 short time, and a well-trained dog will gather them together, drive them home, and put each into its right 

 stall. They can easily be taught to attend poultry, and are declared enemies of all species of vermin that 

 infest the poultry-yard, and can be made most useful in a hundred different ways. They have a good 

 carriage and fine style, profuse silky hair, bushy tail, fine whiskers, sharp, conical nose, smallish head, 

 eyes sharp and prominent, colors black-and-tan, blaek-and-fawn, and silver-gray. For the past two years 

 it has been almost impossible for us to supply the large demand for puppies at the very reasonable prices 

 we offer them, and we have been obliged to import from Scotland several more fine breeding dogs, some 

 of which cost as high as $500 per pair. The exact likeness of one of our grand dogs we show above. They 

 are all now in use, and are pronounced by competent judges the most perfect in form, color and hair of any 

 they have ever seen ; and our kennels are now regarded by fanciers as among the finest in the United 

 States. Our Collies have given the greatest satisfaction everywhere, and we have received hundreds of 

 unsolicited letters highly commending them, a few of which we publish below. 



WHAT OTHERS SAY OF OUR SCOTCH COLLIES: 



Valley Beos., Barton, Vt., Oct. 1, 1888, writes: "We 

 received the Collie Puppies all right, and are highly pleased 

 with them; they take to driving cattle already, and we 

 would not part with them at any price." 



J. H. Smith, St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 5, 1888, writes : " The 

 pair of Collies sent me a year ago have grown finely, show- 

 mg rare inteUigenee. Their services are more valuable to 

 me than those of an^ two men on my farm. I have been 

 offered 8100 forthe pair, but would not sell." 



Jacob Knopp, Oangold, 111., writes. "I 'am greatly 

 pleased with the Collie Pup you sent me ; he took to driving 

 stock as naturally as to eating, and will do anything I tell him 

 to do. Hs is the wonder of the neighborhood. I would not 

 take for him ten times what he cost me." 



G. W. Click, Huntington, Ind., Sept. 11, 1888, writes: 

 " The Scotch Collie Puppy you sent me arrived safe. • He is 

 a beauty. It is interesting to see him manoeuvre around 

 cattle. He is learning fast, and will make a fine dog. I am 

 wellpleased with him." 



Waebkn a. Doolittlb, Clinton, Conn., March 22, 1888, 

 writes : " The Collie Puppy arrived yesterday morning in 

 Bne condition. He is a perfect beauty, handsome and 

 wonderfully inteUigent. You do not praise them half 

 enough." 



Chas. C. KlirroN, Raritan, N. J., July IS, 1888, writes : 

 " I am highly pleased with the Collie Dog sent me, he far 

 exceeds my expectations." 



J. E. Waddle, Tunnelton, Pa., July 2, 1888, writes : " The 

 Scotch Collie Puppies arrived in fine order the day after 

 shipment. They are very fine and pleased me greatly. They 

 already show signs of making excellent drivers. Accept my 

 thanks." 



Adam Helser, Thomville, 0., Oct. 20, 1888, writes : " I 

 am greatly pleased with the pair of Collie Dog^. They are 

 growing finely, and are very intelligent. They are more 

 than I expected. One of my neighbors sent to Wooster, O., 

 for a pair of Collies, but mine beat them all to pieces. I got 

 first premium at our county fair on melons, pumpkins and 

 other seed bought of you. You will hear from me again In 

 the spring." 



K. H. LAifTNG, Towanda, Pa., writes; "The Scotch 

 Collie Puppy sent me is very handsome and wonderfully h>- 

 telligent. I am delighted with him in every way." 



J. W. Pabkbs, Ouachita City, La., writes : " I am more 

 than pleased with the Collie Dogs. It is astonishing to me to 

 see puppies so young making an effort to manoeuvre around 

 cattle, without the least training whatever. I would not be 

 without them for twenty times their cost."
