Sheep or Dogs.

Every farmer needs a good dog, but
il three-fourths of all the dogs in the
United States were to die tonight,
there would be much mourning among
the children, but the country would be
millions of dollars richer than it was
the day before.
The farmers of this state ought to
raise sheep. We have no doubt that
the wool would be found profitable,
but even if not they still should be
grown as a means of furnishing a
cheap source of supply Of fresh meat
Which would be worth the most to
this state, a few thousand more sheep
or the almost innumerable worthless
ours which infest the country? Why
should dogs be allowed to roam about
at will and destroy property? If they
are valuable keep them at home, but
make every one, found at large without
an owner, an outlaw liable to be shot
at sight.
The following editorial, from the
Ohio Farmer, gives facts and figures
which ought to be convincing to the
most intense dog partizan in the state.
Sheep VS.. Dogs in West Virginia
The American people are often accused
OF being race OF money grabbers. :"
1t has been asserted that we are losing
our grasp Of principle, Our sense of
right and justice, and even our senti-
ment, in the mad rush for financial
gain. This will hardly apply in the
light OF the patience shown by our
great sheep industry in tolerating the

The Going Citrus Crop.
Editor Florida AgricWltWrist:

Editor Florida AgricWltWrist:
The agitation against shipment Of
green oranges has about blown over
since the fruit has assumed the Journ-
alistic color-yaller Nevertheless, the
prices have been good, owing largely
to the scarcity and high prices for
emons!
The purpose OF this letter is mainly
to rail against the depredations Of The
buyers who 'fbeared'' the market on
the plea of great crop OF oranges in
Florida, and a great apple, grape and
pear crop in the North. All Of which
were lies, pure and simple, for the
parties making these claims knew the
falsity of them. Nevertheless, they
bought perhaps a million boxes on
which they must have "coined' 25 per
cent, or $3.50, 900, this was the growers
profit for the prices he realized left
him only his pains and labor for his
pay 80 cents per box is not enough.
The fellows who annually go over the
state harvesting what is called ''suck
ers," and obtaining oranges by false
representations, ought to be subject to
that law which Furnishes for obtaining
goods under false pretenses. I don't
see any difference. | heard one of
these fellows who bought oranges at
$1OO, delivered, say that he sold at
$1.SO f. o. b., to N. c. parties, and later
to parties at the North, $16O. It is
notorious now that they have made an
other ''Jack'' this year. The unso-
phisticated are an easy mark for these
depredators
Several OF these men who sold so
early have told me, as Of old, that they
were not prepared for putting up the
fruit and not posted on markets or
the prospects, nor acquainted with re-
liable parties to ship to, that they were
in debt or in need of money, and were
afraid to take any chances on cold,
/. and thought best to sell even below
fair price-"any old price" in order to
get ''out of the woods as it is called.
I want to say that ST. 10 on trees, or
$1.25 delivered, would have been fair
price this season Buyers could have
made profit even at this, and at this
price after the demand for lemons'had
fallen off, the green stuff would have
remained on the trees until the season
and demand for oranges had come
around. The prospect for prosperous
season for the orange people has never
been better and the season has Just
now opened with oranges bringing
$3.50 to $3.50 per box Fruit that
should have brought the growers $1.25
to $1.4O on the trees, dumped off
while three-fourths grown, at S5, or
at about Is cents per box! had it

dog nuisance. The Ohio Farmer has
argued the dog question for years and
has drawn some harsh criticisms for
it's pains. We believe that we are en-
dowed with normal regard for the
dumb animals which have been placed
in our care. We have just and whole
some appreciation for the animal that
responds to our kindness and care with
mute devotion. We even confess to a
sentimental regard for the dog that
protects his masters goods. Bit we
cannot allow that sentiment to blind us
to the fact that the dog is the greatest
menace to one of the most important
industries of the country. We have
presented facts and figures to show
that loss to the sheep growers occa
stoned by dogs, amounts to hundreds
of thousands of dollars annually. 1t is
the weakest kind Of sentiment which
keeps one blinded to this fact In most
states some remuneration is made for
the loss. 1t is not always adequate,
but goes great way in providing pro-
lection. Other states are less fortu
nate. We give below communication
received from one of our readers in
West Virginia We do not believe the
situation is overstated, yet it discloses
the astonishing fact that dogs cost the
state of West Virginia five million dol
lars annually. We quote as follows:
1T is a lamentable fact that there
are 100000 less sheep in the United
States than we had ten years ago, and
100000 less in West Virginia. West
Virginia ought to have at least 5,OOO,-
600 sheep instead Of the 10000 that
she now has She has enough going
to waste each year, on the farms and
in the brush pastures to keep at least
Il 100000 more sheep I don't know a
farm on which there are.no sheep that
has not enough going to waste to
keep anywhere from 10 to SO sheep ac
cording to the size OF the farm. Now
these sheep would yield not less than
S. per head, which is only half what:
the best flock masters get. This means
$5,000,OO0 for what is now going to
waste, to, say nothing about the adj
vantage derived from having the weed
seeds eaten, the briars cropped off and
the brush kept back. Now why, do.we.
not have the sheep? There is but. one
answer sheep and dogs don't flock to-
gether. West Virginia is teeming
with worthless dogs without any re-
striction whatever being placed upon
them. In many places they put the
flock master out of business in sin
gle night. I have made it point to
ask farmers, who are most in need Of
sheep, whenever T. meet them, why
they keep no sheep One man said, I
had fine flock and the, dogs put me

out of business in one night another
said, I had a bunch and sold them.
The dogs got into my neighbor's flock,
killed, crippled, and scared them until
they were a total loss. [ will have no
more until there is some protection
from dogs Each one gives the same
reason in each locality.
''Now I think I have made this mat
ter so clear that even a casual observ-
er will know that [ have stated facts,
and have rather under-rated the
amount. | have only placed the in
come Of these sheep at five dollars
when many people get ten or more. I
have said nothing about the annual
loss on all kinds Of stock from hydro
phoba or OF the occasional loss of hui
man life from the same cause. No one
will deny that the dogs are the most
effective agents for spreading this
frightful and in most cases fatal NAL
ady Rabies is also on the increase in
the state Why can we not have some
kind of restriction: placed upon these
dogs? I don't think it wise to 1egislate

R. E. Thrasher, w. Va.
The damage done by dogs cannot
be computed upon the basis Of those
killed and mangled. One visit from
hunting dogs, practically ruins
flock Sheep and dogs will not mix.
Either the dog must be held response
bic or the sheep industry must fail or
at best be-..a doubtful undertaking.
West Virginia might and should be
one Of the leading sheep and wool
growing states Of the Union. On its
rough hiHsides it has thousands Of
acres Of bluegrass grazing lands which
should be covered with focks. The
dogs have driven the sheep men out
and the state ranks 24th in the produc
tion of sheep and 10Th in the produc-
ton OF wool. They have tried for years
to secure the passage OF state dog
tax law without success. They have a
local option tax law which is in force
in only three counties in the state. 1t
is. time for all farmers and friends Of
agriculture in West Virginia to COM
bine and present this matter to their
state legislature in such a way that it
cannot be ignored.
Two items from the New England
Farmer, show that the dog nuisance is
not confined to any one section or
state: =e
