thing to exterminate him because he is
the greatest hinderance to sheep raising.
The most devoted dog fancier and
breeder of pups, must admit that he is
a dangerous animal to have around,
and that the owner of a dog, of what
ever degree, ought to guard the public
against the evils of his running at large,
and be held to strict responsibility for
the damage to his neighbor. In many
ways the dog is heavy tax on his
owner, and a terrible nuisance in the
community. Every farmer having
room for sheep, and wishing to raise
them, wants legislation against dogs
before embarking in the business. Sta.
tistics show in part the thousands and
tens of thousands of sheep killed by
dogs in every wool growing State, but
cannot show the loss to this industry
because of the multitude of farmers
who fear to raise sheep ON account of
this annual slaughter. 1t is one of the
most profitable and helpful branches
of agriculture in all the older States.
Supplying lambs and sheep to butchers
pays abundantly, and wool is a good
crop to raise at long distances from
market. There is nothing like sheep
to keep down brush and briars, and to
improve the quantity and quality OF
the grasses. Many farms now growing
to brush in all the Eastern States,
might be made profitable if only the
dogs were out of the way,

still higher claim to this distinction in this

superfuous, and serves also as a cyclopedia;
textbook on the language; vocabulary
of Greek, Latin, Scriptural, and modern

The South is a fair maiden, sole
mistress of an enchanted land, seen
of those sitting in her sunny smiles,
and living upon her boundless boun-
ties, but unappreciated to the height
OF her beauty and intrinsic worth.
Not so is it with the calculating
sons of the North. Partaking of
her corn, and oil and wine, and
treading her hills and plains OF
plenty, and feeling their sluggish
blood q'ickening under her warm
touch, the hero Of the war, and tire
official Of the reconstruction days
have both gone back and stutter-
ingly told their fathers and sons OF
the wealth and loveliness of the
Southern siren. Then commenced
migration, which is still going on
and must go on, until the attentions
of the North, urged by steam, ant
brain and coin, shall be so accept
able, that the South inclining al
ready, will fall entirely, into the
arms of her lover, and they shall
be no more two peoples but one
Nation.
