I gave the Advance readers a peice of advice re the making of dog akin mils when I first commenced writing, and I ain pleased to itato that one man in this locality hag acted in ac- J cordance therewith but not until his | dog had helped another cnr to kill two sheep, and worry two more for Mr. A. C. McConnelL Why do peo- i pie keep uselem doga. It is seldom if * vi r that a good dog will kill sheep.
