A Pike county farmer solved
the sheep killing dog problem in
a successful way. After he had
lost thirty sheep he built in the
pasture a square pen of logs and
rooted it but left a big hole in
the middle above in which he sus-
pended a part of sheep. Nearly
every morning when he went to
the pen he found one or more
dogs in there which he quietly
put out of business. In the course
of the winter he caught about
forty dogs and didn't lose any
more sheep. Moreover, he kept on
good terms with his neighbors,
which is a hard thing to do if you
shoot their dogs and go around
Dragging about it.
