Laws to Control Dogs.

The most effective method Of deal.
ing with the sheep-killing dog is thru
efficient legislation, says farmers bull.
letin 935, "The Sheep Killing Dog" u.
sued by the United States department.
of agriculture.
After pointing out that present world
conditions make necessary an increase
in sheep production, the bulletin pre-
sents facts to show that the sheep
killing dog Is one Of the gravest mem
aces faced by the industry. Men who
have entered the sheep business and
have failed to find it profitable are
agreed that one Of the greatest causes
for their encouragement has been tho
dog that, ranging by night singly and
in groups but usually In twos and
threes wounds, kills, or chases to
death the peaceful animal for whose
destruction they have formed q
mania.
The bulletin says that uniform state
dog laws, so enacted and enforced az
to prevent damage to focks by con-
trolling and limiting the number Of
dogs and at the same time allowing
the farmer greater leeway in protect
ing his focks, will go far toward en-
couraging sheep raising and bring
about proportional increase in the
number of sheep. With this in view q
suggested outline for state dog law,
combining parts of various state laws
with some added features is given in
the bulletin.

MORE GERMAN TIcKERY.
Seek Recognition BY France Of Al

SdtTdHS dS OeF ''d'I 0uDJeesS'
Paris. April 2.-The Germans have
made overtures thru the Holy See Tor
the return by France Of inhabitants OF
Alsace- Lorraine who have escaped
from those regions, offering in eX-
change an equal number of civilians
from the city of Paris. Cardinal Gas
parri, papal secretary Of state, trans
mitted the offer to Baron Denys Coch-
in, a prominent Catholic leader and
recently a member of the cabinet.
He refused to act as intermediary in
the negotiations on the ground that to
do so would be to recognize Alsatiant'
as German subjects. The baron wrote
a sharp letter which brought forth an
equally sharp rejinder from Cardinal
GaSparri.

CROPS ESSENTIAL FOR VICTORY.
Farmers Of Northern and Western
States Are Told of Serious Situation.

States Are Told of Serious Situation.
The individual duty Of every farmer
to produce large crops this year from
his land is being stressed by group
Of prominent agricultural speakers
travelling thro the northern and vest
ern states, after conferences in Wash
ington with Secretary Of Agriculture
Houston and Food Administrator
Hoover. A similar campaign already
has been conducted in the southern
states.
Every farm in every locality should
strive to feed itself, the speakers say.
This Is imperative as measure of sup
ply in each community and so that all
unnecessary transportation of food
stuffs may be avoided. Every farm
should have home garden and should
store, can, and dry sufficient quanti-
ty OF fruits and vegetables for nome
use thruout the year.
Turnout the states where spring
wheat can be grown profitably. the de-
partment is calling attention to the
need of planting a large acreage. The
speakers have been given the latest in
formation upon the wheat situation III
this country and abroad. and they will
lay the facts before the farmers of
these regions. The latest figures show
the allies produced last year but
little over one third the wheat they
produced prior to the war.
Seed Corn Situation Serious.
Early fall frosts followed by wet
weather and severe freezing have made
the seed corn problem turnout the corn
belt unusually difficult, making cam
paigns for ear-tested seed imperative.
The planting season must find every
farm Of the great corn belt with an
adequate supply of seed .orn that will
grow.
A Is per cent increase in the number
of hogs is needed as pork is the main
stay Of the ration OF the laboring man
and the soldier and the need for more
fats Is acute. The acreage Of alfalfa,
clover, cowpeas, soy beans and other
leguminous forage plants should be
maintained or increased to conserve
more grains for human consumption.
Maintain Dairy Production.
The dairy industry must be main
tanned. The dairy COW produces more
food with less feed than any other OF
our domestic animals so that dairy
products are most economical In con-
serving foodstuffs. SKINNED milk con-
verted into cottage cheese has as much
food value as meat and should be in
creasingly used.
The farm labor problem must be
met by closer cooperation between
town and farm folks. The towns must
realize that the bulk Of their popula-
ton came from farms and that IN
times Of stress those Of their people
who are farm-bred should help out
the farming community during the
peak of its labor load at planting and
harvest. Local business mems organi-
cations have shown desire to CO.
operate with the farming interests
sympathetically and to the fullest ex-
tent necessary whenever they have
been solicited to do so. They realize
that the farmer Is not alone respon-
sible for the production Of food II the
towns deprive him Of necessary labor
for. nonessential purposes. Retired
farmers in thousands Of rural towns
can aid greatly by returning to farms
and assisting the operations this year.

CHICAGO Horse Market,

Chicago, April 2.-Trading in horses
was fairly good, but the trade did not
possess the strong tone of a week ago.
The offerings, while of good quality,
were larger than last week, and this
had some bearing on the strength of
the market. The demand was best
for the good commercial horses, there
being a decline in the strength of the
market for the cheaper grades, due to
the lack Of southern buyers
Receipts Of horses are estimated at
1000 head, compared with 964 last
week. 1,143 year ago and 2,O29 two
years ago.

New York, April Extreme dull

day and most of the trading was at

former condition was due in large
measure to the closing of the prin-
