It is often said there should
be a good dog on every farm.
With that we agree. A well-
trained dog is invaluable. A
good cattle dog is also generally
a good house dog too. Our Tippy
is just that sort of dog. Re-
member I told you a few weeks
back how she came to the res-
cue when Partner was dealing
with a strange bull. And of
course no one could visit the
house or the barn without
Tippy giving us fair warning.
That's fine for the average ets-
itor, but when the caller hap-
pens to be afraid of dogs and
there is no one around, that's a
different story.
Last Sunday was the Harvest
Festival at our church. Atter

went out to milk his cows. (Those
cows interfere with so many
things we should like to do to-
gether.) About seven -forty-
five visitors arrived. The Man
at the Wheel was going on to
make another call while his
wife and daughter visited with
me. L— was nearly up to the
house when Tippy came on the
run from the woodshed, bark-
ing furiously. L— hurriedly
wedged herself between the
screen -door and the inside door,
knocking with repeated ur-
gency. But of course there was
no one to answer the door—ex-
cept Honey. Honey, hearing
Tippy barking outside decided
she might as well do her share
from the inside. So there they
were—a perfect trio. Tippy,
Honey and L—, frantically
calling to her husband to come
and get her. But the Man at
the Wheel was afraid of dogs
too so all he did was sit there
and shout encouragement to his
wife—over the barking of the
dogs—to come on back to the
car, the dogs wouldn't hurt her!
Which was true.
Fortunately Partner heard
the commotion and left the barn
to investigate the cause. In a
little while all was peace and
quietness. And thus I found
things when I returned home
half an hour later. But I am
not too sure that our friends
agree with the idea the every
farm family should have a good
dog.
Naturally we were sorry our
friends found themselves in
such a predicament but we still
'f e e 1 it was unnecessary. We
also think that a person might
as well not keep a dog at all
as keep one that doesn't bark,
Dogs of course have a great in-
stinct regarding human reaction
to their watch -dog tactics. A
dog knows very well when a
person is afraid of him—and the
more fear the person shows the
more the dog barks. Walk up
to a house or barn and take ab-
solutely no notice of any dog
that runs out to meet you and
the chances are he will just go
about his business satisfied that
you have no evil designs upon
the house or its occupants. For
my part the only kind of dog I
am afraid of is the kind that
slinks along behind me and
doesn't bark. That sort of dog
needs watching.
Well, we seem to be getting "
plenty of rain these days, but
was there ever a fall that was
more beautiful? The few nights
of white frost that we got a
little while ago really did the
trick. And now the current
spell of warm weather is pro-
longing the season of colour
and charm. And what is left in
the garden is still growing.
Last week I was busy potting
the geranium slips I had rooted
in the garden. And speaking
of geraniums we have one small
bed at the back of the house,
hard as clay, and yet it grows
the biggest geraniums I ever
saw. I picked two leaves the
other day—one measured seven
inches across the other six and
a half. One plant. had 32 heads
in full bloom at one time. And
then, just as it was at the
height of its glory something
began happening to my lovely
geranium. One by one the
Ieaves turned brown and died,
but they did not drop oft. In
a few weeks it was a sad look-
ing plant although It kept on
bfnnnHnit. Yesterday I decided

it was no longer a thing of
beauty nor could it possibly be
a joy forever, so I pulled the
plant up by the roots. Turning
it upside down I examined the
woody stalks and found a dozen
or more creamy -white insects
in and around the roots—insects
like miniature centipedes — lots
of legs and a pair of prong-like
feelers. Without a doubt these
insects had been responsible for
the slow death of the plant. But
what were they and how does
one get at the things to stop
their work of destruction? If
anyone knows the answer I
should be glad of advice as 1
hope to have a Iot of geraniums
bedded out next year, and it
would be awful if they all went
the same way.
