Wonderful sheep and a master


dogs supreme


Most people at 011c time or another have been fascinated as they watched, perhaps from a distance, the skilled and uncanny movements of a sheep dog on the fell-side or may­ be in the Highlands of Scotland.


____________ _ It is on such occasions that even the comparative lay­


man realises the inestimable value of such a creature which, it so appears, will continue at its task until it drops from exhaustion. To serve, appears to be its main desire.


The value of: such suc an


animal to agriculture or the farmer can scarcly be reckoned in man hours or pounds, shillings or pence. It is like so many things, read­ ily accepted and so easily laken for granted, even by those who could not exist without its service. On reflection find myself
