SHEEP RAISING
ITO be, continued.

The Reason tor the Decline of the In- dustry in New England.
 Calling attention to the demand for wool and mutton hereabouts, the es- teemed Providence Journal regrets the decay of the sheep industry in New Eng land and urges 8 revival of the busi- ness. Our contemporary doesn't have any definite idea of the cause of the decline of sheep culture ill the Tan kee states, but it harbors an awful sus- picion that, somehow or other, the meat magnates are responsible.
 The explanation is too vague and is far from conclusive. A simpler and more logical reason IS dogs. We appre- bend that if it wasn't for the stray can- ines that like to have lamb on their bill of fare the sheep industry in New Eng land would rapidly revive. Once har- ried by dog, flock of sheep is pIactl- cally spoiled. The menace of dogs has worked havoc with the cultivation of sheep.
 Except for dogs the economic condi- tions in New England are ideal for the profitable raising of sheep. Except for the canine peril million sheep ought to be under production in Connecticut to- day. Except for the unrestrained CUTS focks of sheep ought to be found graz ing every summer on thousands of New England hillsides and great agricul- tural industry ought to be developed.
 But until the number of stray dogs is materially reduced the outlook for sheep culture in this part ot the country IS not encouraging. g.-Hartford Times.

A NOVEL WATER HOIST

The Canaan water tank of the O. N. E. railroad which is now supplied by a steam pump, had novel mechanism for raising the water 38 years ago. It was described in THE NEWS at that time as "a very peculiar arrangement for hoisting water from the Blackberry river into tank from which to water the engines. The bridge over the river was framed high over the track. and in the swift current of the river beneath was placed very rudely constructed under shot water wheel of perhaps five or six feet width and three or four feet diam eter. Around the center of this wheel was placed belt which ran to a pulley of perhaps IS inches in diameter, and which is stationed at the highest point of the framework over the bridge. On this belt were series of cups, which, as they passed under the water-wheel in the river were filled with water and carried to and over the pulley at the top of the bridge, emptying themselves as they pass over into a sort of box from which the water was conveyed by a tube to the water tank. The modus operandi was precisely the same as the old-fashioned elevators in grist mills. Such 8 rude and uncouth concern, and yet so thoroughly practical and adequate for the purpose designed. could originate in no ordinary brain. The idea of a river supplying the power and raising itself into water tank directly over it and forty feet higher, is somewhat on the principle of @ man boosting himself over the fence by taking hold of the seat of his pants."
