important points, In the terms Of

to be caught in the act OF killing
sheep. and 1t is always difficult to
identify positively the offenders. For
this reason the law existing in sew
eral states which permits flock mas
tiers to recover damages from the own
ers of guilty dogs is of comparatively
little service.
A law based on the principles al
ready outlined would, it Is believed,
greatly reduce the numbers of stray
and vicious dogs, while not injuring
to any appreciable extent the interests,
of the true dog lover. II losses from
dogs could be effectually prevented
there seems to be no reason why the
number Of sheep kept on American
farms could. not be vastly increased.
1t has been estimated that in the So
farm states this increase could be 150
per cent without displacing other live
stock, and some authorities have even
placed 1t as high as 500 per cent. An
increase of $50 per cent would mean
in money 5,267 900.
In Great Britain the value of sheep
on high-priced farm lands is thor
oughly realized, and in Great Britain
and Ireland there is one sheep or
lamb to every 2.5 acres OF the total
land area. In the farm states of the
United States there is only one sheep
or lamb to each 31.8 acres of land in
farms. The British farmer raises his
sheep chiefly on forage-crop pastures
and this undoubtedly is the best way
when intensive farming is possible
A succession Of forage crops is the
best method Of preventing infection
from such parasites as stomach worms
and also enables lambs born in the
late winter or early spring to be mar
keted about the first OF July when
prices are usually at their highest. In
this country. however, the vast amount
of land now practically wasted in
rough pastures. weedy lots and grown
up fence rows offers another incentive
for the keeping of sheep. These will
not only clean up the land but will
fertilize 1t as well.
In the absence OF laws which will
afford an adequate protection to the
flock master from dogs, experiments
have shown that an effective fence
can be constructed in the following
manner:

ever, to obtain accurate figures, for II
only q small proportion of states and
counties are complete records avail
able. Moreover, the number Of sheep
killed by no means measures the
harm done to the industry in this
way. Persons who have seen a flock
of sheep chased by dogs until they
drop dead of exhaustion are not likely
to be encouraged to risk their money
in the business Of sheep raising.
In a new publication of the United
States department of agriculture,
Farmers Bulletin $50, THE Sheep
Killing Dog" some suggestions are
given for uniform law in all the farm
states to check the raids of dogs on
farm flocks. The underlying prin-
.AripIe of the proposed law is tax suf-
ciently heavy to discourage the keep
ing OF dogs by those persons who are
not willing to take proper care of
them This tax, 1t Is said. should vary
In accordance with the number Of
dogs kept by each individual-One
male being taxed only $3.50, each adj
ditional male $500. and each addi-
tionaI female $500. The tax must be
paid each year and a license tag OBJ
tanned when the money is paid. If any
deg d found unattended without this
tag he should be killed, and any dog
found unattended on a farm where
sheep are maintained may be killed
whether he has or has not license
tag. Under any circumstances dog
caught killing or chasing sheep should
be killed A reward of $500 Is pro
posed for the Identification of dogs
known to be sheep killers, ard ouch
animals should be killed at once.
With the money obtained from the
dog tax the county should reimburse
sheep owners for their lost stock, and
when possible recover this nones

Captain Turner remained ON the

tank. When he reached the surface
he grasped an oar and then a chair.
He chung to the chair for nearly two
tours, and finally when the chair turn.
ID over he flung up a gold braided
arm. This was seen by a member or
the crew In one of the boats and thus
the commander was saved.
