Protection to Sheen.

Edst0r Of tue Sentinel The Montgomery
County Grange, No. z, at their quarterly
meeting held at Gaithersburg, October eth
1881, passed a resolution requesting the sub
ordinate Oranges of Montgomery county to
report to John r DeSelum the number OF
sheep annually killed by dogs, and the an
nual loss TO sheep husbandry by dogs within
the boundaries OF their Oranges And John
L. Sellum to compile said statistics for the
Oranges and public generally and report
thereon.
According to the above resolutions all per-
sons favorable to the interests of sheep hus-
bandry are requested 10 furnish me with the
number of sheep killed by dogs and the an
nual loss TO sheep husbandry in Mont
gomery county
All authentic information on the subject
available from reliable sources will be APP
preciated and received by me and the facts
given TO the public.
The importance of the above Grange reso-
lutions are apparent to all. Two-thirds at
least Of the land in Montgomery county
is not cultivated proftably, while said land
is admirably adapted 10 sheep raising, and
the principal drawback TO profitable utiiZ-
ing of this large area of land is the aoOrthLesS
dog
Farmers Of large means can purchase and
feed cattle and sell them profltably, but a
large number of agricultursts have not the
capital or farms suitable for feeding cattle,
while such farms with legal protection could
increase their iiocks of sheep.
About two years ago l reported to the U.
s. Agricultural Department loss in the
county by dogs in one year Of 175 sheep,
while believe the number killed was much
more.
The great difficulty was in collecting sta
tistics so much so that had to relinqush
the collecting OF authentic data. The kill
ing of sheep by dogs was SO common that
IL failed TO draw attenten TO the proper legal
remedy, | however collected data and facts
sufficient to show that until the farmers
aroused themselves to a proper appreciation
of the importance of sheep husbandry with
legal protection from dogs (Jy united eDorD
no permanent results could be accomplished.
1t is not the loss of sheep alone, but the
great loss by not raising ten sheep in the
future TO one raised at this time. As the
loss of sheep killed is but small part of
the loss compared with the profitable in
vestments now prevented by the risk or
hazard of loss by worthless dogs
The Montgomery Grange at least deserves
the thanks Of the public for their present eff
fort to remedy the evil.

any kind shall be paid for by the owner
of the dog committing the damage if the

cause him to be killed by the Constable.
Ill. Amy dog caught in the act of damag-
ing sheep shall be killed on the spot, and
the owner of said dog shall not be able to

Great Changes In the Interior OF the old

Mr.. J. D. MCFadden, the architect and
builder, yesterday submitted to the Board
OF Commissioners plans and specifications
for remodelllng the interior Of the Court
House.
On account Of the fact that there are
often two courts held at one time In this
city, II has been found that the accommo.
dations afforded at present at the Court
House are too small, and In order to rem.
edy this defect MIR. McFadden was In.
struCted 10 draw up plan by which the
present room could be divided into two
court rooms. The plan OF Mr. MCFadden
contemplates two rooms, each forty.three
ieetone inch in length and twenty.seven
feet four inches wide.
The judges and clerks desks In each
will not differ materially from the present
arrangement, and the seating will be sub.
stantially tho same as at present. The
gallery, now running across threeiourths
Of the room, will be removed. There will
be four rooms created by the new order OF
things at the western end OF the Court
room. two down stairs and two on the sec.
ond floor. Three OF these rooms will be
used for jury and waiting rooms, and one
will be set apart 90 an Office for Judge
Boyd. Advertisements for bids for the
proposed work will be published Of once,
as 1t Is important that the work be done
before the September term oil court. The
estimated cost oil The repairs is $1,000.
