GOATS ON THE SHEEP-F ARM.-Here
is a suggestion for our sheep raisers
who have suffered by the depredations
of dogs, which we publish for what it is
worth. We find it in an exchange:
It is said that goats will protect sheep
from dogs. a farmer who for years
kept a large number of sheep in South
ern Indiana, recently purchased a he
goat and turned him loose among his
sheep without any knowledge Of the
fact stated. To his surprise his sheep
were unmoIested for months thereafter,
although his near neighbors lost sheep
from dogs every week. He accounts
for his immunity from loss by the pres
ence ofhis single old belligeren5 billy
goat. As it costs nothing to raise
few goats, it would be well enough fer
sheep breeders to give this q thorough
trial, remembering that some breeds
are much more pugnacious than others.
and that it is necessary by feeding,
folding and herding goats and sheep
together, to get them thoroughly atfili-
ated. Goats may be habituated to
running with sheep, SO that they will
never leave them, in which case an
old long-horned, warlike billy-goat, who
fancies himself king and protector Of
the flock. will be, against dogs, pro-
lection and safeguard.

In one Of the battles near Richmond he
received wound which necessitated
the amputation of his foot, and his sys-
TEN never fully rallied from The shock.
Alter the war he returned 10 the practice
