BETTER LAWS AGAINST DOGS
Regulations In Various States Intend,
ed to Protect Sheep but Are
Poorly Enforced.

Although 48 states have dog laws
designed to protect sheep, many Of
them are so poorly planned or so poor
ly enforced that dogs still do much
damage to flOcks especially in the
farming states where fiOcks are small
and dogs are plentiful. There is need
for improvement In these laws, but,
says the United States Department Of
Agriculture, a poor law that Is en-
forced with energy may produce bet
ter results in sheep conservation than
a much better law that is half-heart-
edly enforced. Dogs keep many men
from going into the sheep business,
which is probably greater setback
to the industry than the actual dam
age done by them.

DISCUSS PLANS FOR
ERADICATION OF "TB"
Eastern Conference Favors Area
Plan of Testing.
Leading Chicago Packers Express
Intention Of Paying Premium for
Animals From Farms With
Accredited Herds.
prepared by the United States Department
of ARriculture.l

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
The Eastern States tuberculosis
conference, held recently at Hartford,
Conn, considered various problems in
the way of eradication of this plague
from cattle and hogs, but the greatest
emphasis was given to the area plan
Of testing cattle and the results that
have thus far resulted from its use.
The most encouraging fact brought
out was that the leading Chicago
packers recently expressed in reSO-
luton their intention of paying a pre-
MUM of 10 cents q hundred pounds
for hogs bred and fed in and shipped
from counties accredited by state and
federal authorities Jas being free Of
tuberculosis and the same for those
bred and fed and shipped from indi
vidual farms on which the herds have
been accredited as being free Of the
disease.
Breeders and business men present
at the conference were of the opinion
that the area plan is the most eco
nomical yet devised and that 1t af.
fords the maximum protection to
herds against relnfection. One prOml-
nent New England breeder and milk
producer said that when tuberculosis
was eradicated from a herd thers
were much fewer complaints of losses
from other causes, such as shy breed
ing and calf disorders.
Federal and state men who are en-
gagged In Observation-Disclosures work
were unanimous In urging that there
should be white spot, a tubercu-
losis-free county, in each state as soon
as possible. These free areas are the
best kind of demonstration to the rest
Of the state of the good that comes
through such cooperative clean-ups
and the sooner these spots are found
In all parts of the country the sooner
will the plague be wiped out.
This was the third conference of the
kind held in this region and 1t Is
probable that another will be held
next year.

Poiret twill nor tricotine has lost
ground for tailored dresses. In their
company, broadclOth appears and
some new materials, among them wool
seal and kasha cloth in heavy, soft
weaves. Colors are quiet, with black,
dark brown, and navy to be depended
upon. High colOrs are introduced In
embroideries and accessories but there
Is reaction toward dignity and re-
straint in daytime dresses. Many
small silver buttons, narrow, fine
plated ribbons and tiny braids, in en-
broidered effects, strike the new notes
In trimming.
Skirts slowly but surely increase
their length and fashion has ceased to
be lenient In this matter. For matrons
1t is decreed that they must not be
shorter than eight inches from the

sorts of latitude, from no sleeves at

able vagarles in between.

Miss Farley Won Prizes.
Miss Farley began her work as a
club member in 1913 at the age Of ten,
when she raised some asters, exhib-
tied them at the fair, but received no
prize. Undaunted she tried for two
more years when she won the second
prize of $3.50. After that she en-
larged her activities to,include hens;
after the hens she added pigs in 1913.
Since winning the second prize on as
tiers, some Of her products have taken
prizes each year. In 1919 she contin-
| ued her work raising hens pigs and
COW, but she withdrew from cOmpeti-
ton having had six years of club ex-
pevience. At present she has, as a
result Of her club work, % head Of
stock, about so laying hens, 800
chickens, three horseshoe saddle
horse-and three wagons. She has
clothed herself for three years and Is
helping pay for the farm where she
now has her stock.
Demonstrate Club Work.
Besides this exhibit. 40 demonstra-
ton teams from 13 states will give
daily demonstrations of methods used
In their club work. The demonstra-
tors are chosen by their respective
states on account of their ability in
this work There will be, also, 40
Judging teams from the same 10
states, and exhibits Of ten lines of
club work will be judged. This Will
give the teams and other club mem
bers present the opportunity to see
high standard animals, products, and
other materials. Experts will give
reasons for placing the exhibits
judged, which will increase the edu-
cational value of this feature. Medals
and ribbons will be awarded all
teams showing proficiency in judging.
K club members wish to exhibit their
products they may enter the general
contests open to all exhibitors.
A radio outfit installed on the ex-
position grounds at Camp Vail will
make it possible for club members to
