That Is one big phase of the dog
question-this fact that the presence
of too many dogs prevents the general
raising Of animals whose flesh and
wool are both seriously needed for
our armies overseas. But 1t is phase
of 1t that does not necessarily come
into consideration at all. OF course
your dog is not a sheep-killing dog.
NObody's dog ever was n sheep-killing
dog - until. suddenly, some mans
sheep were slaughtered and that dog
was found to have blood on his chaps
and wool In his teeth.
The United States department Of
agriculture is not an enemy to the
dog - 1t recognizes certain definite
uses for that animal, but It realizes
that the country could get on mighty
well with much fewer dogs than 1t
has. and that both the actual and po-
tential meat supply Of the country
would be greatly increased thereby.
1t has recently sent out several ap-
peals on that point. II you have q
dog that serves genuinely useful
purpose, keep him. He Is a good clti-
zen. But to help in the worlds sal
walton. get rid Of the useless dog!

HOW DOG LOVERS CAN AID.

The dog rightfully holds n
} strong place In the minds and
affections Of men.
The owner Of good dog finds
In him n most faithful friend.
But 1t sometimes happens that
the dog most highly esteemed Is
also one that kills and worries
the most sheep and is the most
cunning In obscuring the EVIL
dences Of his guilt.
A well.bred dogs habit Of ly-
ing innocently asleep In the
front yard during daytime Is no
proof that the same dog does
not kill sheep at night.
Because Of the economic loss
occasioned by sheep-killing dogs.
and because such dogs bring
the whole OF their kind into bad
repute. the true admirers and
friends Of this animal should
help to further any steps likely
to result In the Limitation Of the
activity Of these dlscredlting
members Of n noble race.
One Of the most practicable
methods Of accomplishing this
result seems to be 20 place upon
dogs such a tax MS will reduce
the number Of superiiuous ones
and result in fewer being kept
by persons who cannot or will
not give them the attention nee
essary to prevent the formation
Of habits and associations that
lead to sheep killing.
