SHEEP RAISING
IN BLOUNT
Can be Made a Very
Profitable Industry

The sheep industry of Tennessee
could be made one of the most pro-
fitable branches of live stock husban-
dry in this State. The entire state
is we'll adapted to this industry an d
especially are the Middle Tennessee
and Eastern sections,
As is well known, one of the chief
reasons the industry is not more
hourishing in Tennessee is the pres
ence of the cur dog. Great benefit
would accrue to the farmers of the
State if we had more drastic laws
for the elimination of this menace
to the sheep industry Even the
law we have on the book (requiring
the registration. with a $500 fee Of
female dogs) would be of great hene-
fit if rigidly enforced, as it would
result in the destruction of manv of
these, and q consequent beneficial
decrease In the number of sheep
killing dogs.
However, in state like onr.
sheep may be proftably raised re-
CARELESS of this enemy. Extra pre-
caution to guard the flock from dogs,
though somewhat increasing the cost
of keep, will repay the farmer, pro-
viding the flock has been properly
managed otherwise.
Much Of the quilted land and
waste hillsides of this state could be
proftablv used in the production of
sheep. This has been proved to
the satisfaction of some of the most
prominent farmers of the state.
Much OF the land which now grows
only weeds could be restored to pro-
fitable tillage by the use of sheep,
The farmer who is willing to give
to sheep the same amount of intel
ligent care that he gives to other
live stock will find them not only
profitable. but good improvers,
bringing into cultivation large areas
of otherwise waste land.
The Federal census shows re-
markable fluctuations in the sheep
industry in Tennessee. In 1850,
the census showed 81. 591 sheep in
Tennessee. The figures in 1850
were IT'S, 317. In 1870, there was
shown an increase to 826. 1888 On
down to 1900, there was a continual
decrease. as follows: For 1880,
672.7S7. 1890, $40. 1896. 1900. 307.-
8O4.
According to the last census, 1910
there were in the state 1876. 033
sheep, valued at SO, O09. 1919 or So Is
per head. Less than one eight of
the entire number of farms in the |
state reported sheep. SO that it may !
be seen at a glance what the industry |
could be made to do for Tennessee,
if all the farms had this as branch !
of the live stock industry.
This industry is more extensive
in Middle Tennessee, as shown by
the figures for the following eleven
counties in that grand division:

Rome, Dec. 1.-THE condition OF
the aged Pope Plus y today slightly
alarmed Dr. Marchiafava and DR.
Amici, who were summoned to the
! Vatican Immediately after the death
of Car2inal Mariana Rampolla was
announced to His Hiliiness.
Cardinal Rampolla died suddenly,
the result of an illness that attacked
him following religious ceremony.
He was formerly papal secretary of
state and was considered a likely
candidate for the pontiicate on the
death of Pope Leo. He was a Sicil-
ian. born in 1913. and was of noble
family. His temporal title was Mar
quis Del TinGaro
The effect of the death on the
Pope, coupled with the recent demise
Of Cardinal Oreglia, was greatly
feared by the Vatican physicians.
Both Cardinals were close friends
Of the Pontiff, and it was understood
Pope Plus hoped that Cardinal Ram
poIla would succee1 him, recognizing
that Rampolla would surely have
been elected to succeed Pope Leo

ing today. Visibly shaken, the pom

praved. He then retired to the priv
ate chapel to celebrate mass for the
dead cardinal. Meanwhile Vatican
attendants summonel Drs. Marchla-

Pope Plus retired to his private
apartments.
The death of Cardinal RampoIIa
