SHEEP AND DOGS

A pubic conference of persons in
terested in the sheep industry is be-
ing held in Washington this week
and one of the leading topics placed
on the program by the secretary of
agriculture was the prevention of
damage to flocks by dogs and preGa-
tory animate.
According to reports received by
the secretary the loss to sheep raisers
through destruction by predatory ami
mails in the west does not decrease in
some of the stat es in spite of the
facts that all sections Of the COUNTY,
are becoming more thickly populated
every year. And what seems even
more strange is the fact that the loss
es through dogs in the farming sec
lions of the country constitute an even
larger factor, in some instances
amounting to complete determination.
Economic changes have undoubted-
~ been largely responsible for the
Dig shrinkage in the sheep raising
business in Vermont, but at the same
time the dogs have had their part in
discouraging the owners of the focks
that at one time dotted the pastures
on the hill farms of this state.
James c. Colgate of Old Benning-
ton is at the present time one of the
most extensive sheep raisers in Yer
mont. He has made a speciality of
horned Dorsets and exhibits from the
flock have been blue ribbon winners
at many Of the big fairs throughout
the country during the past few
years. During the present season the
superintendent of the Fillmore farms
Charles Brettell, has experienced no
little trouble because of the persis-
tency with which the worthless, col
larless dogs that roam through the
country annoy the young sheep.
Mr.. Brettell has been raiser of
sheep for many years and according
to his experience the annoyance and
loss is almost always due to the de-
predations of cur dogs. Well-bred
dogs, animals Of fixed breed, seldom
chase sheep. 1t is the mixture and
crosses that cause most Of the trouble.
Like human beings, when the races
are mixed, the undesirable qualities
come to the surface in half-b bred dog.
In many regions the dog has been
the predominating factor in wiping
out the sheep industry and the condi-
tions now existing constitute a prob
lem that calls for discussion and legis-
lation.-Bennington Banner.
