considerably discussed in this town.
Dogs have made great havoc among
the sheep here this season. Nearly
every flock has suffered heavily and a
flock of 20 was practically wiped out
only one escaping uninjured. There
are many pastures growing up to
bushes the farmers would gladly stock
with sheep if the dogs would let them
alone. Strengthening would be a
great benefit to our rural towns. IL
would improve our pastures, increase
our taxable property, and greatly
benefit the owners. A law that would
effectually protect sheep by putting an
end to dogs or keeping them at home,
under control, would be of inestimable
value.
