The Canine Enemies of the Sheep.

In the Journal of Agriculture, Mr..
e.. w. Waters, who is sheep grower
in Missouri where dogs abound,
whites as follows of the privileges al
lowed TO these animals OF generally
double value. He is man of sound
judgment and slow to express care
less opinion Oh an important question /:
But are sheep owners OH equal terms
with dog owners? The sheep owner
is bound by law to restrain his sheep
and to maintain them on his own
land. Sheep have no legal right on
the roadside unless the owners accom-
pany them. No sheep owner dreams
ofmaintaining right to permit his
sheep to wonder over the fields of his
neighbors and through their yards
and yet sheep do not bite nor kill
other domestic animals. Dogs are
privileged. Professedly owned for
their masters pleasure, they are toler-
ated in becoming the misery and mer-
ace of others. They hold the right of
fields, yards and blocks, and by com
mon consent privileges that are de-
MED to man. Is this right? Shall
not dog owners be compelled to keep
them. on their own grounds, except as
they accompany them? Why shall
not dog owners accept restrictions to
this destructive form of property that
after ages OF contention sheep owners
were compelled to for harmless and
useful property?

AT a meeting OF the Cattle Raisers'
Association of Texas, one of the
speakers said that Is years ago 1850 to
ll00 pounds was about the highest
weight for Texas steer. Eight years
ago it was almost unheard of that a
lot should average 1900 pounds
When he was speaking there were two
car loads at market, averaging over
1900 pounds. Much of this change is
due to better breeding, and some to
better or more intelligent feeding.

What it Means.

To the LIGHT.
Those 100000 bridge bonds don't
seem to go we'll at all, judging by
the petition sent County Judge
Callaghan for the Commissioner
court to rescind it's decision. That
petition has the most influential
signatures ever added to a petition
and is in every way representa-
tive. The people do not object to
improvements or TO work for the
unemployed but there is rather
too much campaign funism" in
the project to be acceptable. If the
commissioners will allow COM
mittee of independent and repre-
sentative citizens to expend the
money in the best way, not for
political but public interests, the
proposition might be adopted,
otherwise the people will en-
phatically cry no no! ! no!!!
