Rev. B. T. Devries, last Sunday, preached a

to large congregation. He paid beautiful
tribute to mothers love, and reminded his
| flock of their duties as church members,
which they were bound to perform, although
| at times it might be difficult to do so, calling
| for a considerable amount of courage. He
| said it was not a pleasant duty for Admiral
| Farragut to lash himself to the mast of his
ship and with little flag direct the move
ments of his fleet, as they passed through the
! shower of shot and shell. So it is with church
| members. They must do their duty as it is
| revealed to them, even under the most trying
| circumstances. FLINT.

For the Protection of Sheep.

MR.. EDITOR: | hear considerable discus
sion with regard to taxing dogs, in order to
protect our sheep. Our Legislature is now in
session and think it should be urged to pass
some laws that would give sheep farmers a
little more security from the depredations of
dogs.
Farmers who raise sheep never feel secure,
knowing that many hungry and apparently
worthless dogs are proving around at night,
looking for something to cat, and likely to
make raid upon sheep. If the sheep are left
out, as they often are, at times during the
year, and the sheep owner hears dogs running,
he cannot rest until he is assured his sheep are
not being attacked.
Dogs are almost necessity on farm, but
if tax were imposed on them we would have
fewer worthless ours prowling around the
country, and it would lead to keeping better
class of dogs, and that great friend of man
would be improved in quality.
do not pretend to know how such a law
should be framed, but would suggest that
each house in the country should be allowed
one dog of either sex free of tax, all over that
number to be taxed 50 for each male dog and
81 for each female dog, the latter not to be al
lowed to leave the owners premises during
| the mating season.
l should be glad to hear from some of my
brother farmers on this subject and if deemed
advisable would join in urging our delegates
| in the Legislature to do something in this
matter. The 1Egis is read by nearly all the
| citizens and could do much towards arousing
our people to the Importance of this matter.

Put your surplus moneyin the care

This is the moral of the experience of
Elias Henderson, a rich farmer of AL
lance, Ohio, Burglars visited him
last Wednesday morning, and after
having gathered about $1,000 in
watches, jewelry and silver plate, in
formed him that they had learned
from a neighbor that he had $4,000
in money in the house, and were go
ing to kill him and his wife if he did
not produce it. Mr.. Henderson was
not scared. He opened his safe and
took from it a bank book from which
he showed that the money had been
placed on deposit where it was safe.
Then the robbers went away, and
Mr.. Hcnderson's money continues to
draw interest for his profit.
