The Useless Expense of Dogs.
Colfax, La, Feb. 2Sth, 1911.


Editor Cotar Chronicle:
AS it seems that the discussion
of the dog tax is in order, /
thought it not out of place TO give
the views of one hay-seeder, as to
the way he thinks about the mat
ter. | think it will be a help to
us farming people to get rid of the
dogs, as l think it very necessary,
aud duty we owe our families,
to stop all the leaks We, can on our
farms. Keeping useless dog on
a farm is most assuredly a leak,
and most farmers have from / to
3 dogs to feed.
Now, we will figure a little as to
the cost of keeping dog. One
dog eats as much as one person,
and we know that person actually
eats 25 cents worth per day. Now,
that multiplied by 365, and you
have S91.25. You state in your pa
per that $1,000 is the cost of keep
ing dog. / would like for you
show me how you can keep a Cog
365 days for $1,000.
As we are living in a progress
sive age, and Uncle Sam is hiring
men to show us how to make bet
ter crops on fewer acres than here
tofore, and is sending his health
trains all over our country to show
us how to put our homes and sur
roundings in better and more san
itary condition, so that our health
may be better, let US wake up, and
if we never have to pay a dollar
for dog tax, let's get out of the old
rut and get rid of a lot of the use-
less canine tribe. Life is too short
for me to put in time working for
a dog. As we are laying down
some of our old methods of farm
ing and are devising better ways,
let's depart from this old Indian
habit of working for and boarding
lot of useless dogs.
Success to the Chronicle.
r. L. PARISH.
Two weeks ago when we said
the average cost of dog for year
was something over ten dollars we
referred to the "stray dog" variety,
and his estimated depredations.
Our correspondent is without
doubt much nearer the correct fig
ure of the cost for the petted and
pampered kind that are fed from
the table, any one of which will de-
stroy and consume enough to feed
flock of chickens and two or
three pigs. 1t is quite likely that
the average yearly cost to the farm
ers of Grant parish for keeping a !
dog will figure up something like
$50 or $50. In some instances the
dogs will kill and destroy poultry,
pigs and sheep worth $50 or more. |
The dog is sort of tame wolf, and |
most of them are not very tame,
and their destructiveness is about
the same as a wild wolf.
