"Dogger" With Sheep Herds In the list of strange occupations can be named that of the "dogger," a well paid trapper, a specialist in his way, employed by the sheep station owner. The Australian native dog is a wild, strong, silent, cunning, ferocious beast that kills sheep. Known as the "dingo," he roams the back country and causes much damage to flocks. The dogger sets a circle of baited steel traps around the station boundaries. The double jaws of the trap are bound with cloth sprinkled with strychnine; otherwise the dingo would escape by gnawing its leg off. There is-danger in the lonely life of the dogger, for the dingo does not hesitate to attack a man. Infants', MOMS' and CMMTMI'S STRAPS. OXFORDS Xa Ghrsau Patent.
