Sheep and Doqs.

AS to the relation of dogs to sheep
raising in Michigan The Board of
Agriculture has no record whatever
of losses of sheep from this cause and
so far as / can learn there are no
statistics to be had on this subject In
this state. There is no question but
what the loss from this source to
those engaged in the sheep industry
is very large in the aggregate. We
have state law taxing dogs and pro-
viding that the funds arising from this
source go to liqudate claims for the
sheep destroyed. think that the law
is effective so far as it goes, but the
great difficulty seems to be that the
sheep actually destroyed or injured is
only a small part of the loss, the entire
flock being put out OF condition by
reason of the fright | know of no
remedy except to get rid Of the dogs
or the sheep.-A. M, Brown, Michi-

The South and Hearst.

The South is in lively revolt against
Judge from the comments upon his
nomination in New York which appear
in the leading Democratic papers OF
the South. That section has been ac-
ace anything wearing the Democratic
tag. but it is evident that the limit has
been reached. one is led to wonder
what the South will do if Hearst
captures the Democratic presidential
medicine. or put up a candidate of its
own or give its votes to the Rcpubh-
can nominee?
Here is the opinion of the South on
the "Amrricausln' and "Dcmocracy"
which the yellow drmag"gne stands
for With characteristic southern
frankness and courage that opinion
has been rendered in no uncertain
manner. as q glance at leading organs
of southern opinion will show. The
Richmond Times Despatch for instance
II fers to Mr.. Hearst as IA political
freebooter who hopes to be elected to
something sometime" while The Au-
guSta Chronicle says that the New

haracterizes the leader of the new
of Democracy" and The Houston Post
says that in nominating Mr.. Hearst
York committed n folly from which il
may not soon recover" Colonel Wat
terson, of The Courier Journal bluntly
declares: Neither Hearst nor Hearst
ism is Democracy. 1t is socialism"
The New Orleans Times Democrat
says: 1T has been but a short while
since this same man Hearst was de-
nounced throughout the country and
hung in effigy at many places, on the
score that he was an alleged inciter Of
assassination and was partly RESPONSE
BILE for the killing of a President of the

nunciations and characterizations of

might readily b. culled from III" Dem
