The damage done 10 the sheep inter
ests by dogs Is beyond comprehension.
The loss annually runs up into the mill
lions. That Is. the direct loss. There
10 another loss. indirect: many farmers
have discontinued keeping sheep en-
tiroly from the reason that their losses
have In the past been 40 large from the
depredations OF dogs that their profits
were swept away. The dog laws passed
have been imperative TO n large ex-
tent. while In some states they have en-
countered so much opposition that they
have been repealed after being In force
only few months.
II seems to us that n dog law might
be passed that would be effective and
yet occasion no great opposition. Pco-
pie will keep dogs. But II is not neces-
aary that they should keep large dogs:
that Is, dogs large enough TO kill q
sheep. A law might be framed taxing
dogs above : certain weight. This
would be putting a premium on small
dogs. and we are OF the opinion that
they would be more fashionable than
ut present The weight could be put
at the point where the sheep industry
would be protected.
II 10 pity that the farmers must be
taxed millions OF dollars each year In
the way OF dead sheep that the rest OF
the community may have their house
hold pets. We would like to ask our
sheep raisers to give their experience
as to sheep-killing dogs. and the weight
at which the dogs become u menace to
the sheep industry.

The whole teaching Of his life, in
deed, Is 10 leave us free and TO make us
reasonable, and the supreme lesson OF
his life is voluntary brotherhood, fra
tcrnity. II you will do something for
another, II you will help him or serve
him, you will ut once begin To love
him ! know there are some casuists
who distinguish here, aud say that you
may love such an one, and that, In
fact you must love every one, and II
you are good you will love every one;
but that you are not expected TO like
every one. This, however. seems to be
n distinction without difference. II
you do not like n person you do not
love him. and II you do not love him
you loathc him. The curious thing in
doing kindness Is that II makes you
love people even in this sublimatcd
sense Of liking. When you love un-
other you have made him your brother;
and by the same means you can be a
brother to oil men w. u llowells, In
the April Century.

The greatest obstacle Ia The improves
ment Of the poultry interests Ia the
general Ignorance OF present conditions
and results. There seem to be few
who know what they are doing. Ask
q man how many eggs he got last year.
how much II cost TO keep the hens. and
so forth, ana 1t is exceedingly rare
that an answer can be secured. The
truth Is he cannot tell; hence there Is
no probability Of Improvement, II we
can get people to keeping close
records. we can get them to improve
their flochs. We are glad that some
readers OF the Farmers Review are
beginning to take deeper interest In
knowing what results they are getting.

Is the most effective weapon by which
the farmer can reduce the stock OF
