seemed utterly broken down, and asking

Sheep and Dogs.

Our Legislature has been wrestling

and the struggle grows more earnest

made i'm certain quarters OF the State
to 90 into wool-growing. Wool-grow-
Ing is . profitable business under ia
voring circumstances; but there are
unfa vOriDg circumstances, dogs among
them, which are not TO be overlooked.
Wool grows on sheep, and dogs are ad-
dicted to eating sheep, which seriously
interferes with the wO0l-bearing capac-
ity of these gentle creatures. All the
uplands in Missouri with their rich
pasturage and abundant streams Of
water are adapted to sheep-raising, and
many snterprising farmers in the couu-
ties north Of the Missouri river have
been importing the choice breeds for
the purpose Of raising mutton and wool
to the best advantage. But Missouri

are continually ravaged by hum

dozen at q time. There are too few
wOOl-growers in . county to form q
powerful self-protective organizat ton,
and they are therefore at the mercy OF
the dogs of their neighbora " no care
nothing for the sheep interest. The
present dog law allows every family to
have one dog untaxed, ana leaves tax
only on the excess. But the tax IL

half dozen worthless ours on which he
refuses to pay o tar, and there b no
provision for destroying them. Whers
worthless dogs most abound they aro

pray upon the docks Of the nearest
sheep-raiser. A bill has been Intro
duced into the Legislature to locallss
the question In the counties by leaving
1t to the people Of each county to deter.
mine by vote whether they Will have

counties where they are strongest 30

Sheep-husbandry is entitled % pso-

and because It supplies easy means fos
repairing the waste Of growing crops
and enrichinY the soil. Il has proved
profitable In other States, and would b
an advantage In those counties Of Mis-
souri, adapted to it. The Northern and
Eastern farmers whose immigration wo

ought not to permit gangs Of worthless
dogs to stand in the way Of the dsvel-
opment Of an interest which would d.
