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 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 a uniform law in all the farm
states to check the raids of dogs on
farm fiocks. The underlying prin-
ciple of the proposed law is tax suf-
fciently heavy to discourage the keep
ing of dogs by those persons who are
not willing to take proper care OF
them. This tax, it 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-
tional female $500. The tax must be
paid each year and license tag OBJ
tanned when the money 10 paid. II any
dog il found unattended without this

tag he should be killed, and any dog
found unattended on farm where
sheep are maintained may be killed
whether he has or has not license
tag. Under any circumstances a 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, and such
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 money
from the owners of the guilty dogs
1t Is, however, extremely rare for dogs
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
ters 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, 1t is believed,
greatly reduce the numbers of stray
and vicious dogs, while not injuring
to any appreciate extent the interests
of the true dog lover. If 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 $50
per cent without displacing other live
stock, and some authorities have even
placed it as high as 500 per cent. An
increase of $50 per cent would mean

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 25 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.
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:

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The census of 1910 showed that in
the ten years previous the number of
sheep kept on farms in the United
States had decreased 100000 head,
or IA per cent of the total in 1900. On
the other hand, during this time the
market value of sheep rose to such
an extent that the smaller number in
1910 was worth rs per cent more than
the total value of the sheep in 1900.
In other words, despite the rise in the
value of the farm flock, fewer farmers
cared to maintain one.

cialists in the department of agricul-

Burns. OF the Detroit team, upset the
plans and designs of Hughey Jen-
nings something fearful when he was
laid up with appendicitis at the train
ing camp. George is quite an efficient
first baseman. In fact, he is the best
man for that position that Hughey
has on his team, and jennings had
counted on his support in sweeping
the Tigers in a glorious victory in the
race for the gonfalon. II will be a
month and perhaps two months be-
fore George will be ready to play.
and in the meantime the Tigers will
have TO experiment at the initial cor
ner with two OF three auxiliary out
fielders. and when Burns does get
back into the game it is likely that the
poor old Tiger" will have so many
knots tied in his tail that it would
take season TO undo them. How

nings may uncover another find OF
Burns calibre in the youngsters who

Rescning q Bankrupt State.

West Virginia's finances are in a
bad way. Even before il adopted pro-
hibition, paying its bills was tough
proposition. The loss of liquor taxes
added to its demonstration, and the
recent court decision saddling the
state with its share of the old public
debt of Virginia has about finished the
job. State officials have had diff
Guilty in collecting their salaries
School teachers have been paid in war
rants that could be cashed only at a

penitentiary are said to have been
turned loose because there were no
funds to pay for their transportation.
Money has even been lacking to pro-
vide stamps for official postage.
Now comes a West Virginia citizen
named Samuel G. Walker and offers to
pay Off the whole debt of $t2.394. 900,
in ten years, and set aside 100000
every year for permanent public inn
proycmcnts. All he asks in return is
the privilege of selling liquor in the
state for those ten years.
It's new angle in state finance, and
also in the liquor traffic. Suppose

Hope at Last.

At last the Great White Plague
shows signs of coming defeat at the
hands Of the enemy The death rate
from tuberculosis over the country at
large is showing decided decrease.
This, however, is over long period
of years. In 1880 the rate was 32G
per 1000 population and in 1913 it
vas 1866 per 1000.
This gain in life-saving de- es not
come from any marvellous cure" but
simply from a long, gruelling strug-
gle in educating public opinion in mat
tiers Of hygiene. It means that nearly
twice as many people now believe in
the value of fresh air sunshine and
nourishing food in their everyday
lives as in 1880.
The rate of 1866 per 1000 is not
cheerful rate to contemplate, even
though it is better than 1916. 1t means
that one out of every ten people of
ones acquaintance is going to die of
tuberculosis until it improves. But
the fact that it is improving means
that the same procedure must con
tinue to be followed with more and
more yisor. The national association
for the study and prevention of tuber-
culosis recommends increased care in
respect to milk, building regulations,
dust and fumes from industrial proc
esses, compulsory notification to
health authorities of every recognized
case, cleaning by vacuum wherever
possible, encouragement of marriage
of infected persons and isolation of pa
tients.
Some Of these methods may cause
Inconvenience, or even sorrow But
