Down with tho DOEsi

Ed. GAzErrE:-I have been waiting
for some time expecting to hear OF
something being done about dogs run
ming at large. They are one of the big
gest nuisances we have. If COW or a
horse gets out they are taken up at
once, but the dog goes where he pleas
es. One cannot go along the street
without having to 60 over or around
them. I think it high time something
was done to get rid ofso big a nuisance.
Last summer the village council made
a stab at them, but they soon got weak
in the knees and Mr.. Dog went where
he pleased. My idea about dog is, if
he is worth anything, he ought to stay
at home; if not, shoot him on the spot.
A dog is no earthly use when he is gal
Looping all over the country after farm
ers' stock and into all manner of mis-
chief. 1t is no unfrequent thing to see
from two to four dogs coming out on
the run sometimes with a team and
sometimes alone through the garden
into the yard, down through the grain,
into the pasture after the stock. Still
you must not shoot my dog, if you do
I will make you pay for it, and dearly
too. 1 think there is something wrong
about this dog business. They had
ought to be kept strictly at home like
other animals, or exterminated entire
ly. Mr.. Editor, this may be serious
question. There are mad dogs west
of us, and there may be some in our
midst in few days. Our health Of
ficers look to all diseases to keep down
an epidemic, but what is diphtheria or
fevers compared to hydrophobia' My
way would be to have every dog shut
up in safe place or killed at once
and the sooner this is attended to the
better it will be for all concerned.
