About eighty person, including about

e>lrurilOn of sheep.

In many exchanges read of the destruc-
lion of shee.' hy dogs. Sheep killed by
dogs in almost every county in the State every
week, and yet there is no adequate provision
made to protect til. shs:p. 1t seems to US this
business is running at loose ends somehow
and We cannot help but think that a remedy
should be found. Good sheep pens should be
provided by the owners for housing the sheep
