FARMERS in New Jersey use goats to pro.
tect their sheep from dogs. Two golts can
drive away a dozen dogs, and two are about
all each farmer puts in with his sheep. As
soon as a dog enters the field at night the
goats attack him, and their butting pro-
penSities are too much for the canine, who
soon finds himself rolling over and oyer.
A few repetitiOns OF this treatment causes
the dog to quit the field limpiug and yell
ing. Formerly when a dog entered a
sheep field ut night the sheep would run
wildly around and cry piteOusly. Since
the goats have been used to guard them,
they form in line behind the goats and
seem to enjoy the fun. The idea of utiliz'
ing goats in this way comes from the west,
where they are put in sheep pens to drive
away wolves.

Castle CidrkS6Wg NarS Here's to
Wheeling. And in wishing that city pros
Perity.'we are sure we echGthe sentiments
of every newspaper man in this State. The
Press will never forget Wheeling. May
she have few strikes and great prosperity.
