My next plan was most successful
one. Attached to the sheep-barn 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 dog-guards which
prevented a 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, so that once he
had gained access a dog could not get
out The fence inclosing this yard
was constructed of woven wire, with
the dog-guard made of smooth wire.
l soon found that dogs would jump
into the contiguous lot to get into the
sheppard; but when they had gained
entrance to this inclosure they had
gone to their destruction. The next
morning all had to do was to go
down and gather in the depredators
and give them burial. dare say that

During transportation the plow may be
lifted out OF the ground, and by means
of the lever 1t may be held at any de-

beam OF the plow moving between the

with respect to the frame, SO that the
plow is held directly in the row. The

important sales announced in the next

Developments in East Chicago also
make it apparent that the East Side.
