question before they are nominated.
Shall we allow worthless dogs to have
protection at home, while We expose

northern Europe, dressed in cotton?
The substance of the South Dakota
law, Code of 1903, is as follows:
Dogs are listed in each county by
the county assessor and a tax of $l.O0
on each dog is levied by the county
commissioners. Any person keeping,
owning, or harboring' a dog which
'chases, worries, or kills sheep is
liable for all damages committed by
such dog. Any person may kill any
dog which is found off the premises
of its owner in the act of chasing or
worrying sheep"
Farmers interested in getting into
sheep raising are offered bulletins and
circulars which may give some help

raises sheep will be glad to share his
experience with you.

Animated by these thoughts, he held
his way upstream, hoping at every
step To reach the gorge from which
the flow issued. He would have known
his by the sound Of the falling water,
but, weakening o he found he must
abandon hope Of getting up to it. How

the rocks, he kept on longer than he
would have believed possible. Encoun-

he crawled weakly on hands and knees

raised himself with pain from his
rough couch. His wounds We're stif,
and he lay for a long time on his back
looking up at the sky. At length he
dragged himself to an open space near
where he had slept and looked about.
He appeared TO be near the foot of a
mountain quite strange to him, and In
rather an exposed place. He clambered
II hundred feet above where he had
slept before he found a hiding place.

MUST PRODUCE MORE WOOL

We produce in this country only
about enough wool to clothe our army
comfortably. Unless we increase u
wool production, those who remain at
ing or else we shall have to call upon
Argentina, Australia and British South
Africa for large wool supplies. In so
doing. we shall still further burden
shipping, which is already so over
taxed as to be the limiting factor in
our war progress.
An investigation made by the gov
eminent at the opening of the war
showed that in thirty-six farming
states the number of sheep could be
increased one and one-half times, or
sufficient nearly to double the wool
output of the United States, without
displacing other live stock. Since
this survey was made, live stock hold
ings of the United States have been
increased considerably and it is not
likely that so large an increase OF
sheep could be made at this time with
out curtailig the production of beef
and pork. A large increase of sheep
production, however, can easily be
made in the farming districts and
farmers would find wool and mutton
production profitable.
The two principal obstacles in the
way OF increased sheep production
are the lack of adequate fencing and
the presence of the worthless dog. 1t
is estimated by the government tina
more than a hundred thousand sheep
worth at present prices nearly 2 mil
lion dollars, are killed annually by
dogs. A number Of states have re
Gently enacted laws as a part Of the
general program Of public defense
which will afford adequate protection
to the sheep against dogs. 1t will bt
