Ask National DOG Law.

Madison, Aug. 14.-Through its
committee ON wool conservation the
Association Of Commerce is urging
upon members Of congress the impor-
lance of enacting a stringent national
dog law. The raising of sheep in times
Of peace is one of the most important
industries Of our country, and doubly
SO during the present war. Both wool
and mutton are demanding higher
prices than ever before, thereby MAX
ing the industry Of still greater inn
portance. These prices are caused by
the dfmfnution of number Of fiocks
and the number Of animals in each
flock. The loss of sheep due to the
stray dogs in pastures has reached
alarming proportions, sheep raisers
declare. The loss increased during
1918. Twenty-four thousand of the
three million sheep in Ohio last year
were injured by dogs. The damages
paid to owners amounted to SIP, 500.
The county agent in Massachusetts re-
ports that there are few sheep kept in
that state, but that there are around
$4,000 dogs. The Southern states,
among the best for sheep raising re-
port from fifteen to twenty dogs to
every sheep. In Dane county there
was considerable loss due to dogs dur
ing the last year.
