What Sheep-kilIing Dogs Cost.

Sheep-killing dogs cost the state of Pennsylvania at least $50, 900 for the year ending December 31, according to Harrisburg advices. This covers only the direct damage and the reports actually made. Much direct damage is known not to have been reported. The indirect effect of the dog nuisance is much greater For instance twenty years ago in Venango county, the wool clip ran to 100, 900 year, but has now fallen to 10000 pounds. The decrease amounts to over $20, year in the one county, and is attributed mostly to the driving of the sheep outyof business by dogs. The community would have been better off, surely, without any dogs. --. ....
