Dogs Or Sheep. which,

There is u saying in this coun-
try, aud IL has grown into an
adage, that the legislator who
desires TO commit political
suicide has only to introduce
and father a dog law, and the
people will attend to the obse,
quies.
Yet the one thing which the
various states stand urgently
in need is just such Legislative
tirnber-men who are willing
TO forego political preferment
if by 30 doing they can confer
great boon upon the country.
We are told that by the time
another clip is made wool will
be worth two dollars per pound.
This is q country than which
there is no better in the world
Tor shcep raising.
What must be the amazement
of the peoples of other countries
when they are told that the
only reason Americans are not
sheep raisers is because of tho
dog-that the average citizen
prefers his dog to his sheep, and
if he must be without either
ono the sheep must go.
Statistics tell us that this
country today is maintaining
25,oo0,ooO dogs IAN average of
one to every family in the land.
Placing the cost OF mainten-
ance mt conservative figure,
these brutcs will consume as
much as half their number OF
human beings, saying nothing
of their dcprcdutions. This is
equivalent TO feeding twelve
and onc-half million people or
more than it will cost us TO feed
every soldier we will ever send
to France.
But the more feeding Of this
horde of useless animals is by
no means the big item The
great expense lies in the great
menace which they constitute
to the sheep-raising industry.
We would not be so unjust to
the CANNES as to allege that all
are addicted to sheep killings or
even would be if there, were
sheep available to be killed.
But the uncertainty az to the
guilty individuals brings the
whole race under suspicion.
However, this country is now
paying dearly for it's devotion
to the dog, 1t is conceded by
all that his dogship il the one
great deterrent to the sheep in
dustry, In sections of country
where the people have had the
wisdom to prefer the sheep to
the dog, prosperity has been
welcome guest. But these com
munities are rare, and over
large part of the country the
dog ranges at his own sweet
will.
So long as wool was cheap and
easily procurable from other
countries, the question as be-
tween the dog and the sheep
was not 40 pressing, aud the
American householder could be
left in possession Of his expen-
sivc luxury. Now, however,
when the fleecy staple is con
spicuous for it's scarcity, tho
decision should be put squarely
up to our people: The dog or
the which,

Scarcity OF Live Stock.

For some time now il has
been apparent to those who
have given the matter thought,
that the country is threatened
with mn alarming shortage in
live stock-espccially meat pro.
ducing animals, though horsce
aud mulcs are also showing II
shortage.
When the war in Europe first
began, it was suggested by our
agricultural department that
our farmers and stock rnisers
devoted greater attention to
increasing The number of meat
animals II was pointed out
that the large foreign demand
would make great inroads in
our supply, This was the re.
suit, but not all the result. The
stimulated demand caused pri
ces to soar to abnormal figures
These prices in turn caused all
who had stock TO push them
into the market at the earliest
moment, with the result that
thousands Of head OF stock went
To the butchers when il should
have hcen kept on the farms.
Stock buyers inform us that
for the past years tho average
weight of hogs especially has
steadily declined, due to the
fact that the heavy feeders have
been practically exhausted and
the lighter animals are being
pushed onto the market.
AT "a meeting of food admin.
istrators of u number OF states
recent ii was the unanimous
teclslon, after surveying the
situation carefully, that II con
certed effort must be made Ia
increase the breeding of hogs
and cattle, and each state rep
resented in the conference was
given it's per cent of increase &c
be attained.
But il il right at this point
that the difficulty il encounter
ed. The high prices have not
only caused the immature ami.
mails to be sacrifice but thous.
ants of valuable females have
also been slaughtered which
should have been kept on the
farms. There is not particle
of doubt that the country is
alarmingly short of breeders.
There is but one remedy. No
owner OF hogs or cattle should
sell or kill females capable of
reproducing their kind This
should be made an iron-clnd
rule on the farms and ranches
of this country for some time to
come. Certain il is that il til,
past, or even the present rate
of consumption of females il
continued for another twelve
months, the country will face
something little short of a meat
famine.
We are II meat eating race
But meat must be grown, and
the animals must have dams
The only way to insure the sup
ply is 10 conserve the females
This viii have TO be done, even
at the risk eli even higher prices
than now prevail.
And, as prices now range
this will be no sacrifice to the
farmers, but rather u source OF
greater revenue, as all will see
if they will look at the matte,
