Johnson and Miss Annie Killick spent tuesday in Louisville Border Collie rounding np cheep sledge dog' has also been used for the herding of reindeer on the tundras of Siberia In England and Amer ica the Border Collie which has been bred for herd work for 300 years is the most frequently used sheep dog The Border Collie is known for intelligence obedience and working ability Standing about 18 inches at the shoulder this dog has a dense coat of black with white markings on the col lar feet and tail tip Weights run from thirty to forty pounds The Border head is shorter and broader and his eyes larger than those of big the Scotch Collie Puppies im come from working stock frequently display an inter est in sheep as early as seven or eight weeks of age The first les son is usually taught at three to four months when the puppy is taught to lie down on signal and to walk at heel on command Training is simplified if the young dog can be allowed to follow the example of a well schooled older dog but many fine sheep dogs have been trained without ever having seen another dog work The education of a sheep dog re quires both time and patience but once his dog is trained the fannerr herdsman will wonder how he ever managed without his four footed helper Those interested in ebtaining instructions for the training of a sheep dog may have them free of charge by writing to the Gaines Dog Research Center 250 Park Avenue New York 17 Trials for sheep dogs are held at annual contests in New England and California Working at dis tances of hundreds of yards and guided by signals from their own ers given by means of outstretched arm or gesture with a cane the dogs demonstrate their ability by herding a group of sheep through a complicated course and finally into a small pen Large galleries of spectators who attend the trials are invariably impressed with the skill and sagacity exhibited by the canine contestants as they go through the maneuver ot han dling a flock In the handling of large flocks of sheep on the farm a good herd dog ofttimes accomplishes the work of two or three men states the Gaines Dog Research Center New York City An old saying goes that is no good flock without a good shepherd and there is no good shepherd without a good In Scotland where the work of the sheep dog has reached near per fection no shepherd would con sider selling as he would feel himself helpless without his trained ally The sight of a small black and white Border Collie driving a flock of sheep along a road or through a village in a calm business like manner is so common in that country as to at tract no attention whatsoever While it is believed that the first association with man was as his hunting companion and helper certainly his second trust was as guardian of flocks and herds Though there was little communication between primitive peoples the 'abil ity as herder and guardian was early discovered and utilized by many different races and tribes Many countries have developed shepherd breeds and while these vary widely in size and appear ance their work is identical Bel gium produced the Belgian Sheep dog and the Bouviers de landre The Briard comes from rance Hungary developed the Pulik and the Komondorok The Welsh Corgi Old English Sheepdog Border Collie Shetland Sheepdog and Collie all originated in the British Isles The German Shep herd and the Giant Schnauzer are of course products of Germany The Australian Sheepdog or Kel pie has proven his value in the rugged sheep raising country The Samoyede though generally considered a Lannie

the story of a dream of Dr Miller of Louisville The dream was instrumental in leading him to Christ He is a nephew of Mrs Ambler Chick of near Bea ver Dam The poem follows: LOST BUT' OUND I was lost in a dense wilderness Not knowing which way to go I prayed and pondered over and over again or the way I wanted to know Suddenly there appeared a man And pointed the way I should go I started and no rougher way Is possible to know On and on I went over bushes bramble and bogs It led me over the roughest way Even rocks tree laps and logs Occasionally someone would cross my path And try to draw me aside But no I could not do it and ollow the way of my Guide I came to what seemed an im passable barrier A cliff towering high in the sky And to a tired and bedraggled wayfarer It seemed impossible to get by: It was tall and with overhang ing boughs Says It may be hard to climb but try I scaled with a strong determina tion That overcomes all and and I was almost ready to touch solid land I heard a voice in distress be low I turned to give advice and succor To whom I did not know Back up the tree I went And dropped to the ground be low or I was following the Guide who was sent To direct me how to go On and on I traveled Until I came to a beautiful road 'Y I said: Oh how I would like to go that way i' 'But there my Master stood He again and I obeyed Him This led me over deserted land Over rocks briers and gullies1 But I was being led by His hand I came to a very rocky hill A man trying to climb it in a car Up and back and up and back I was sure he get far Why on way I thought does he not leave it And travel as It is slow I krtow but I will get there bye and bye On I went this dreary way As only a lonely one could Until I came to what seemed to me Another impassible barrier stood It looked like a wall of concrete With over hanging ceiling of same I knew not how to get thru it But my experience had taught me to be game I reached up and a hand hold appeared And each time I reached it came out Until the top of wall and ceiling I neared How oh how will I ever get thru but I Pushed it open and more beauti ful scenery gladdened the eye I looked and oh what rapture for I saw a Heavenly sight Everything a golden hue and on may right Was a tree with Golden Guild On the left a wel and windlass A woman with water to give I clapped my hands and praised Him who is over us I beheld a wonderful sight a chorus Singing and paying fo the lost one just saved I shouted cheered and thank ed Him or the trials I had braved DR MILLER 1784 West Oak Louisville Kentucky OAK GROVE Mr
