PLAN TO PROTECT
 SHEEP FROM DOGS
Action Taken in Response to Request
 From Owners.

Tn response to requests from sheep
 owners throughout the state, Jeffrey
 o. Phelps. commissioner on domestic
 animals, has taken steps towards fur
 nishing better protection for sheep against, dogs and has asked a. man prominent in sheep breeding to inves- tigate the situation. This was made possible under the new dog laws pass ed at the last session of the general assembly under which the commits sioner has the power to appoint dep uties to aid him in the work of in vestfgating the destruction, by dogs of sheep, lambs and other domestic animals.
 According to the new dog law. the expenses of the work of these deputies are to be taken from the funds in the state Urea sury received from dog Ii- censes. Dogs found pursuing. hara ss- ing. worrying or wounding any sheep, lambs or other domestic animals may be killed. according to the law. and the owners of the dogs must pay tho damage done. If the selectman of 2 town in which a dog does damage to domestic animals or property and the owner of the dog cannot reach an 8 agreement as to the amount of dam age done. the law says that disin- terested party may be consulted. If the dama ge sustained is over s1no the comrnics oner on domestic animals must make the assessment.

The manufacturing indus tries thus affected are mainly in the northeastern states, and as a resula the population of these states has in creased with abnormal rapidity at the expense of other parts Of the country. The increases and decreases nave been very largely in the class Of men coy cred by the registration.
 The most pronounced discrepancies appear for the state Of Washington, in which the registration amounted to 49.S per cent. of the estimate; Oregon, in which it was 57.9 per cent; North Dakota, 73 per cent; Wyoming about 65 per cent; N evada. 6.17 percent G5 per cent; Nevada, 71.6 per cent, and South Dakota 72.1 per cent In no other state was the registration less than 75 per cent. of the estimate.
