HIS DOG DIGS FISH BAIT. 
“Will swap dog that will dig for bait in ex¬ 
change for yonr tobacco chewing hen,” was the 
telegram that Attorney I. B. Miller, of Youngs¬ 
town. Ohio, received yesterday from Probate 
Judge Proctor, of Montgomery county, Mich 
Miller’s hen attracted much attention recently 
by refusing to lay eggs unless fed a pill of chew¬ 
ing tobacco. 
In a letter Miller received to-day the Judge 
explains his swap offer. When the Judge goes 
fishing, he wrote, the minute he takes up the 
fishing rod his dog runs out into the yard'and 
digs in the ground until he has uncovered a 
dozen or so of angle worms. The Judge says 
he never has to hustle for bait himself. _ 
“When hunting,” he wrote, “Rover is a cross 
between a setter and a fox-hound, knows what 
kind of game I am after by the kind of weapon 
I carry. If I take a rifle, Rover passes every¬ 
thing up but deer and boar. If I take a shot¬ 
gun. all kinds of deer could pass him and he 
would pass them by without even a wag of his 
tail. But I want that tobacco-chewing hen and 
so I’ll swap you a mighty convenient dog, just 
to get a curiosity.”
