THE DOG THAT EVERY FARMER NEEDS. The Scotch Colly is a dog of medium size, ver>'gracefully- shaped, with long, fine, and silky hair, tail and hams frizzed with hair, and is well depicted in the beautiful illustration shown herewith. The sagacious instinct of these dogs is most marvelous ; often, as a friend once remarked to us, showing more intelligence than many men. Certainly, on a farm, the services of no one man could prove so valuable as an expert Colly. They are quick at learning, and their great value in herding sheep is well known, but they are also useful in a hundred other ways. They will readily drive cattle; and, at the word of their master, they will bring the cows home from pasture, and put each into its right stall. They will attend cattle or sheep all day, keep- ing them where they belong, and immediately driving out all intruders. They soon learn to know their master's animals, and a well-trained dog can gather together his master's sheep, even from among many others. They are also easily capable of tending fowls, watching them care- full}", and protectmg them from all vermin. Besides the uses we have named, many others will readily suggest themselves. As watch dogs they are ever on the alert; never sleeping so soundly but that the slightest unusual noise will attract their attention. They will not allow any strange dog on the place. Sheep and other stock soon learn to know, and seemingly to love the shepherd's dog. They are kind and affectionate in disposition. We are breeding these dogs from the finest imported and trained working stock, and frequently have pups for sale sired by three magnificent imported dogs, one of which was person- ally selected and imported by us
