sheep. killing cog is responsible
for quite a decline in sheep rails
ug. He not only kills sheep,
mt keeps out the sheep-husineSs
men who are otherwise figuring
on going into it. The Indian re
| ised statues of 1914 say:
"Any dog known TO have chas-
ed or worried or killed sheep may
be killed by any person if found
unaccompanied by its owner OF
keeper. and if anyone ket ps a
dog which he krows to have
chased, worried or killed sheep,
each owner is subject to fine Of

If two men driving one horse
each, can combine the two horse S
Into one team, Which one man
can drive: and this team can do
as much or more work Unan the
two did singly. isn't it wise to
C mbine them, and save or
mans time? Ano if the farm is
arpe and conditions are right,
isn't it wise to comtine two of
these two horse teams into one.
and save another mans time?
There are few fan m corses which
the average driver c. mot train
to work in large teams In a few
days time, and most of the larg
er implements are little if any
more complicated or difficult than
small ones to handle.
