Wherever there are dogs and sheep
together there is constant danger that
the latter will at some time suffer.
Sheep are so constructed that even
worrying by dogs seems to shock their
nervous systems to such an extent
that they seldom prove probable. In
most states there are laws against
depreciation by dogs. but because of
their construction many Of them are
dead letters, writes G. w. Franklin, In
the Country Gentleman.
have long since ceased to look
to the law for any loss sustained in
depredations by dogs. take the
privilege of protecting my sheep in
my own way. My first precaution was
to provide plenty of bells-as many A.
one to every six or ten animals.
When the sheep were unduly excited
the bells made such . noise that they
would Brighten some dogs, and would
ut least arouse sleepers to look after
The flock. Finding that this did not
work satisfactorily, however. hung
lanterns out near the sheppard, but
the dogs became 30 bold they paid no
attention to the lights or to the noises.

FAKE ADVERTISING A CRIME
A Clear Conscience the Reward for
Publisher Who Refuses to Print
Deceptive Matter.

In an address to the students OF the
Northwestern University School OF
Commerce A. P. johnson, advertising
manager of the Chicago Record-Her-
aid. said:
THE greatest drawback In the de-
velopment Of modern-day advertising
comes from the same source that un'
dermines all other professional and
commercial enterprises-the takers.
schemers and promoters Of fraudulent
undertakings that depend upon adver-
Using to accomplish dishonest pur-
pose.

Ing . general circulation. whose edi-
torial columns are read and accepted
In good faith by the public. whose
opinions on the political and economic
questions of the day are read and b.
lievsd. and who. at tho same time. &C.
cspts and prints advertising which he
knows is fraudulent. deceptive and
misrepresenting. commits the great
est social and civil crime ever perpe-
trated on civilized community.
Refusing fake advertising does

mate advertising, nor does It signify
that . paper pursuing such : course

1t IL q commentary on American
agriculture that in certain sections
there are farms of 100 or more acres
than can be bought for less than the

some cases for less than the policy in.

buildings.
The old farm doesn't pay.

ture went out ON one OF her inevitable

Can the old farm be made to pay?
1t certainly can not. by the old
methods.
The old owner may remain, but the
old farming must stop.
Here are some suggestions. Put so

These may be forest trees or in
part an apple orchard.

There is another method that have
found to be OF some value in getting
rid of dogs, but 1t is not to be recon-.
mended since 1t is against tho laws
laid down by the humane society. 1t
consists In saturating with lard

swallow. When digestion takes place
the grease is digested and the sponge
swells up on the liquids Of the stom-
ach and can neither pass out nor be
digested. The dog soon pines away

I advise all sheepmen to protect

Legislators avoid this question, for
there are more voters who own dogs
than voters who own sheep. A dog
that is not kept busy wilr get into mis-

8ome Of the worst dogs I have ever
caught are those called hunting dogs.
They are sagacious and when not kept

herd dog that is reared on sheep

he IL reared as pet and il not made

My next plan was most successful
one, Attached to the sheepbarn a
sheppard was constructed Of boards.
leaving NO cracks on the outside
fences. The partition between this
yard and another adjoining was a
board fence with cracks not more than
three inches wide. On the outside OF
the sheppard were iog-guards which
prevented q dog from jumping over
into the yard. The partition fence al
SO had guards SO that dog could not
Jump over from the adjoining lot This
yard also had the guard on 1t, but they
were on the inside. 10 that once he
had gained access dog could not get
out. The fence tnclosine this yard
was constructed of woven wire, with
the dog-guard made Of smooth Wire
I soon found that dogs would jump
into the contiguous lot to get into the
sheppard: but when they had gained
entrance to this Enclosure they had
gone to their destruction. Tho next
morning all 1 had to do. was to 80
down and gather in the depredators
and give them burial. / dare say that
Kenmor Farms have more dogs buried
on them than any similar territory In

would easily gain access to the yard
