these accounts are all true, or exaggerated by
prejudice, like the scandals about the useful and
friendly crow, cannot be speedily settled but il in

the most faithful brute friend of the human race
The Southern Farmer claims that bells are the
cheapest and best insurance against the killing of
sheep by dogs. The sheep-dog is a great coward
when IN pursuit of mischief, and he wants to do it
quietly. Bells bought at wholesale do not cost
much: Buy side OF bride leather at the curri-
ers, for collars, and put bell on every sheep if
your flock Is small. The price of one sheep will
buy gross OF bells and leather enough and buck
les to strap them. Put ihi. gross of bells on 4
flock of sheep, and they will frghten every dog
out Of the field.
