THE LEGISLATURE AND
THE SHEEP-KILLING DOG

The sheep killing dog is oc-
cupying quite a lot of the time
Of our present legislature and
it has been proposed TO tax the
dog anywhere from S1.OO to
$25.00, the idea with some be
ing to pass a tax that will cause
the dog to be eXterminated.
There are two sides to this
question. In the first place. the
sheep-killing dogs are not near
so numerous as they are said to
be. There are many sheep kill
ed that no dog ever touched.
but the nei ghbor's dog gets the
credit; it is the idea with some
that if a sheep disappears moth
ing could have removed it but
a dog, hence a dog-killing cam
paign must be startedat once to
save the sheep industry, when
if the truth were known in
numerous cases some wild an
imal was at the bottom of the
trouble. People do not stop to
investigate if a sheep disap-
pears, so the dog must go; they
even forget that men sometimes
steal sheep.
People do not raise sheep be-
cause they do not want to raise
them. You let a man start q
sheep ranch and one of the
first things he will do is to buy
some dogs to guard them, and
not against other dogs, either,
but against wild animals and
thieves. a great many do not
raise sheep because they are
not prepared to handle them,
Others have an idea that sheep
kills the ground-makes it un-
fit or improbable to cultivate,
which of course is unfounded,
but there ares MANY who have
this idea just the same. Others
just simply don't like a sheep
and will not raise one on the
place, but they like mutton
raised on the other fellows
place.
A great howl has gone up
that if we did not have the
sheep-killing dogs people would
come to our state and build up
the waste places, making great

Rneep ranches out OF the cut
-yer lands of the state. Now
these men, on some of them
might come, and q few of them
might stay awhile and make a
bluff at the business, and q less
number might continue it, but
it will not be the sheep-killing
dog that made the others leave.
Arkansas is a great state for
stock, especially for cattle and
hogs, and it is we'll known that
no cattle man loves a sheep for,
whether true or not, they claim
that the sheep kills out the pas
ture and they are not going to
encourage sheep raising; how
ever. the man who wants to-
raise sheep can go into the bus
mess, with nothing to fear from
his neighbor or his neighbor's
dog
There is another thing that
should be thought Of while we
are trying to exterminate the
dog in order to catch a few
sheep-killers that may or may
not exist. The poultry industry
of Arkansas is worth ten times
as much to the state rs is the
sheep industry, and always will
be. Did anyone ever stop to
think what Q protection the dog
is to the poultry interests Of
this state? People who live in
towns raise a very small part
Of the poultry that is raised in
the state and they might get
along without a dog 10 watch
while the master is asleep, but
you take the people in the sub
urbs and IN the country, where
the real poultry interest is, and
it is necessary that they have
dogs to protect the poultry yard
from the varments that would
in a short time absolutely ex-
terminate the poultry. Mink,
-O'possom, Wild cats, coons and
many other kinds of varments,
not to speak Of an occasional
fox or wolff, would soon play
havoc with the poultry yard if
it was not for the protection of
the dog, and the much despised
ring-tailed-cur is the chief pro-
tector. It is. astonishing the
way these animals multiply,
even with the dogs and trap
pers continually after them, but
you eXterminate the dog and the
great bulk Of the poultry inter-
ests of the state will go glim-
mering.
r If peole want to raise sheep
let them go at it, and they will
find that the loss really caused
by dogs will not, as a rule, be
worth considering, and when
they do find a sheep-killing dog
they are pretty apt to find that
he is a big, fine bird dog or
some other fine breed, whose.
master would pay any tax that
might be placed on him, and he.
would continue to keep up the.
sheep-killing business till some
indignant citizen with his trus-
ty shotgun put an end to his
career. The shot gun is, after
all, the best protection against
the sheep-killing dog.

We once heard of a man who
quit raising sheep because he
thought the dogs killed a few;
he quit raising hogs because
they ate his chickens; he quit
the chicken business because the
chickens scratched up his gar

the weeds because he was too
darned lazy to work it.
