SHEEP AND DOGS

A government bulletin takes up the raising of more sheep. The prin- cipa1 obstacle is not anything essen tial to the life of the sheep. s Our country is ideally adapted for them
 The old proverb says, ''The sheep's
 hoof is shod with gold.'' Wool and mutton sell for high prices and sheep can live on land that otherwise would l lie idle.
 The dog problem is the one great | difficulty. As population increases, l the number of dogs also is augmented. | The country districts are, full of roam l ing and b1ood-thirsty mongre1s. Once | they get the taste of fresh meat, no farm animal of their size is immune from attack.
 The farmer would place high Ii- cense fees on the keeping of dogs, to get an ample fund to pay damages l with. He would also enact stringent | laws about confinement of dogs. But l the dog owners are quite influential
 an element. Half the legislators who l are asked to pass strict dog law, l are themselves owners of these pets. l They love and cherish these faithful Efriends of man, and will not assent 1 to any restrictive. measures tending
 against their. health and contentnent. Yet the failure to raise the num- 1 Der of sheep that could be produced
 lis a failure properly to develop our resources. It increases the cost of WOOL ana mutton - two OI the most
 useful substances raised by man. The l community wants it's dogs and it must expect to pay for them.
 | The law should compensate the 1 farmer literally for damage done to his flock. The compensating authori- l ties should consider not merely the l actual damage done to these killed or bitten, but the general lowered tone of a flock due to nervous fright. Dog l owners should be well assessed for such losses. Then perhaps they would realize the necessity of dispo@- ing of dogs having this unfortunate tendency to prey on a valuable do- nestic animal.
