A Suggestion.

If the farmers of West Virginia
would devote the same attention to
raising sheep that they seemto ap-
ply to the raising and care of a LOT
of worthless dogs the wool supply
would be greater and the amount
of revenue oorrespondingly in.
CREASED Oftentimes 90 cent DE- 6
will kill $50 worth of sheep in one
night, still most every farm house
you come to has from one to fouI
dogs. Try raising sheep for twr
years and see if you are not better
off in the long run. The present
Legislature might do we'll to enact
a law for the protection of sheep

provided for.
