PREsERYlNo sIIEEr FRoM DOGS.

Let me publish to the sheep raising

of sheep by dogs, which was given me
short time since by highly respecta-
BILE and valued friend, himself an ex-
tensive wool grower 1t consists sim
ply in placing ON one sheep in every
ten of the flock bell of the usual size
for sheep. The instinct of the dog
prompts him to do all his acts in a sly,
stealthy manner; his attacks upon
sheep are most frequently made at night
while they are at rest, and the simulta-
neous jingling of all the bells strikes
terror to the dogs; they turn their tails
and ethe sheep, fearing the noise
Of the bells will lead to their exposure.
The ratio of bells may be made to vary
according to the size of the flock.
