Do Farmers Prefer Dogs to Sheep Pc.
L., of Catonsville writes as follows to The
UNION: II see that farmers clubs and far
mers' institutes are being held all around to
discuss farmers interests, but see no mention
of heep.raisiDg. If you ask farmer why
more attention is not given to sheep-raising
most of them will say they cannot go into the
that worthless dogs are preferred to sheep-cul-
ture, and we must conclude that dogs are con-
sidered more valuable to the farmer than sheep.
When we consider the vast amount of money
lost both by the farmers and the State result
ing from the dog, and the human lives that
are yearly sacrificed that the dog may live and
be protected by law. it is truly astonishing"
