A newly invented fly paper in Titus

tracted by the molasses, alight, and
are stuck fast by the glue. Should
any get, away, they proceed to rub

the friction of their own shins causes

We commend the following sensible
communication from one of our practical
farmers to the attention of the Legislature :
KNOX COUNTY, Oct. 5, 1871.
To the Editors of the Chronicle!
[ have noticed with pleasure i'll the
CHRONICLE several articles upon the sub
iect of sheep husbandry, and with them l
heartily agree as to the advantages of our
climate, and the adaptability of our hill
sides and our mountains to sheep raising
and lust here the question arises, what can
be done to bring about change so desir-
able in our mode Of farming here in East
Tennessee? To us it looks plain and SIM
pie. Make this branch of farming sure in
its profits, and the ease with which it is
carried on, compared with grain raising,
will induce our intelligent farmers to enter
upon it at once.
We shall, in this article, notice one cause
of the insecurity of sheep husbandry in
East Tennessee, and that is, we have more
hungry dogs than sheep. But, says a
friend, we do not hear of many sheep be-
ing killed by dogs. True, but there is a
good reason for that: Sheep are scarce, and
a poor dog that would run down one ofthe
racers that roam in squads of from five
to ten through our woods and bush pas
lures would make a sorry bargain and get
poorly paid for his labor. But the farmer
who ventures out of the beaten track and
starts flock of fine Southdowns, may
find to his sorrow las l haYe done in the
loss of two) that hungry dog is fond of
good mutton. 1t would not take very
learned or ingenious corps of legislators to
frame law to meet this case. Let every
dog pay an annual tax of one dollar. This
will rid us of at least three-tourths OF the
useless ours, and the balance will be large
Iy in the hands of persons who will be re-
sponsible for their good behavior. And
then the tax provides fund in each dis
trict for the liquidation of damages done
by dogs. Farmers, shall we have such a
law? We know whereof we affirm when
we say that the greatest obstacle in the way
of the spread of fine sheep in our section
is the fear of loss from dogs.
Yours, very truly, DAVID LEE.
