How q Revive Sheep Husbandry.

In Mondays Journal is an article showing
the rapid decline in the number of
sheep and lambs sent from Maine to
Brighton and deploring the lack of interest
in sheep husbanory in our State but the
cause for this apparent lack of interest is
not stated. Allow me to lay before your
readers few facts bearing upon this sub
ject During the past summer farmer in
Manchester had fine flock of seventeen ewes
rsided upon by dogs and eleven of these were
killed or bitten. eight were total loss.
Another farmer lost twenty sheep and lambs
in the same manner. Recently the writer
was conversing with an intelligent farmer
in Augusta, vino has been a member Of
the city government and he said, II have
lost in sheep and lambs over $4,000 by
dogs, and unless something is done for our
protection sheep husbandry must be aban-
doned." In nearly every case which
has come to my knowledge the damage has
been done by sporting dogs from our cities
and villages; and although seen while en-
gagged in their bloody work it has been i'm
possible to follow them to their homes and
identify them. Said a prominent member
of the Kennebec Bar who owns a farm and
has until recently been keeper of sheep,
"Our laws are made for the sport
ing men and not for the
farmers; this section of country is great
sporting park and sheep husbandry will have
to be abandoned. Much more evidence Of
a similar character might be presented, but
enough has been said to throw a mild light
on the farmers side of this question. Do
not scod US Cor not enlarging our focks
until you give us some protection; Mt present
the risk is too great Let our legislature
enact a Law by which every owner of dog
shall pay a small license fee for the privilege
of keeping him and from the money thus
obtained let sheep owners receive compen-
sation for the actual loss sustained by the
depredations of dogs upon their fiocks, and
sheep husbandry will revive and shipments
to Brighton will increase.

For some days the skating on the Kenne-

large numbers have availed themselves of
the opportunity for sport. The ice is quite

and one or two venturous boys have broken
through but luckily been rescued without
serious accident.

of diphtheria at the Hospital, and that was
confined to one very mild case. As there
have been no cases on the female side for
four months and all recent cases have been

couragement. There has been but one

Evening Session

At special meeting of the State Board of
Agriculture I'd the members of the legisla-
ture last evening presided over by Senator
Haines. Prof. James Cheesmsn of Boston,
secretary of the New England Creameries
Association. gave a short address describing
the methods of dairy education practiced in
Europe. Canada and the Western States.
The Speaker outlined the system of instruc-
ton followed in the Western states, and
claimed great improvement in the values
of the dairy products in the sections most
benefited Referring to the emigration
westward MIR Cheesman said the
only means of restricting the
ii lie was Improvement in educational work.
Better instruction in dairying would make
farm life more interesting and encourage a
love of home. Nearness TO market should
secure for the New England farmer the ad-
vantage Of New England markets. Success
or failure in obtaining the local markets
would depend mainly on the system of in
struction followed.
