DRIVEN OUT BY DOGS.

Loss to Sheep Owners.

One of the Most Important Sources 0l
Loss to Sheep-Owners.
During the last thirty years a Ma.
tional StOckman correspondent hal
had many sheep destroyed by dogs
most of them not killed outright, or
even mangled, but the life literally
frightened out of them. Referring to
this indirect but most important
source of loss, and to other related
points, he says:
IA sheep is very nervous and can
be scared to death easily, especially if
fat. Any person who handles sheep
knows how hard sleeps heart will
beat when chased by dogs. Heavy
sheep often drop dead without a mark
on them. Dogs kill sheep to satisfy
hunger. but one sheep would do that
The taste of blood and excitement
keep them at it long after hunger is
satisfied. Half of all the killing done
on my farm was by hounds; the other
half by all sorts of ours. An expert
dog will always catch by the throat
close to the jaw. l have seen scores
of sheep killed, and not a mouthful
eaten. Two dogs will kill from one to
fifty sheep in one night 1t is not
often that one dog goes at it alone.
The first time flock of sheep is wor-
ried by dogs they lose one-half of
their value; the next time the other
half. We have no sheep here. When

dogs are responsible for all damages
they may do. just the same as if it
were done by horse or a COW. But
the trouble is a dog -man has no prop
erty but dogs and children. SO the
sheep-man has to bear the loss. This
is grievous wrong. and calls loudly
for prohibition of the dog nuisance.
Not one dog in every thousand pays
his keep, while the damage runs into
millions of dollars"

VALUE OF MULcHING.

An Operation Beneficial to Vegetables ~
Well as Fruit Trees.
During the summer, one of the prin-
clpal objects of applying a mulch is to
aid the soil in retaining moisture.
While the plants are growing, they
require considerable moisture. Dur
ing the spring and fall this will usually
be supplied by showers, but in sum-
mer the showers will often be so far
between that the plants will suffer.
In order to avoid at least partially the
effect of this good mulch is applied.
II the work is done properly and in
good season, q considerable benefit
can be derived. One important Item
is to have the soil in good filth; hoe
or rake until it is in the proper con-
dition, and then apply the mulch.
Stirring the surface thoroughly is in
itself good help in retaining moist
ure. After the mulch is applied it
should not be disturbed until the plants
have matured their crops or the fall
rains have set in.
Nearly all vines, such as melons,
citrols, squash, pumpkin, tomato and
cucumber, will be benefited by q good
mulch applied after giving thorough
cultivation when the vines have Sc
cured a good growth.
Newly-set trees and plants of all
kinds should be mulched we'll before
hot, dry weather. sets in, and it is often
possible by this means to maintain q
good, healthy growth. when other
wise the trees would be considerably
injured. This applies equally well to
fruit as to ornamental trees. 1t will
be best, however. with the majority of
trees not to allow the mulch to re-
main on too long. 1t is important that
all kinds of trees should have plenty Of
time to mature the growth of new
wood, and IL the mulch is left on too
long it will often keep up the growth
of the trees 30 long that the wood will
not mature before cold. freezing
weather sets in, and in consequence
the tree is injured So that in a ma
jority of cases it will be best to remove
the mulch from the trees as soon as
the fall rains come. and this will
usually give sufficient time for the
trees to mature oil the new growth of
wood
