Sheep Killing Dogs.

Mr.. EDITOR Il learn, from
Your comments on. the " bell pre-
ventive against Sheep killing Dogs,
you advise bullets or stryc!inine
as the only sure remedy. You
further say, " until the Legislature
pats tax, amounting to prohibi
ton, on dogs" &c. Now, sir, I
differ with you on both points.
Some years ago, I Owned a pack
of fox hounds. Then the Red Fox
was unknown in this section of our
country, and the Grey Foxes were
nearly all caught, consequently l
did not appreciate my pack as
highly as ] had done in my young
er days, when the Grey Foxes
were more plentiful. My dogs, for
the want of better employment,
took to killing,my sheep. Valuins
my sheep more than the dogs, /
ordered the dogs to be killed. My
son, then quite young man, beg
ged me not to kill them, bnt to let
him try a plan he had heard of, to
break them, which : thought
wonld succeed, to whi u. consent.
ed. He tied each dog separately
and, with the assistance of two or
three boys, took them to the sheep
pasture. He thon caught as many
aof the old sheep as he had dogs,
and tied a sheep to each dog. As
soon as they were turned loose.
the sheep ran off with the dogs and
the boys after them, whipping tho
dogs. The sheep, after becoming
worried, Turned upon the dogs and
butted them severely. This sport
was kept up until the dogs were
completely exhausted. When they
got back to the house, which was
not for several hours, 1 hardly
knew them, their heads were go
much swollen. 1 thought several
OF them would die. However.
they all recovered, and assure
you that neither bullets norstrych,
nine could have been moro cffectu-
al. They could never bear the
sight or smell of sb beep after tn at.
And now, sir, for your prohibitivs,
tax on dogs: l admit there are.
too many "curs Of low degree
in tho State, both of the canine
and homo genus ; bat 1 object "a
taxing dogs, because they are not
considered property. II a prohib,
