Raiser* Do Not Like to Risk the Heavy Losses; Drastic Remedies Are Suggested. Washington.—The department of agriculture, in a statement, indicates that the sheep killing dog Is a greater men ace now than over before, and Dial if he could be destroyed it would mean at least $10,267,000 In the pockets of farmers of this country. It is suggested hy an expert of the department that the increase would he nearer $'.00,000. “The number of sheep In 2,6 farm states, which do not include any :n the western division, could he increased hy l.'.o per cent, it is estimated, without displacing other live Strict ,” asserts Hie office of inform; Hon of the department of agrieultuie. Some authorities believe that the in crease could he even as much as 600 per cent without serious Inlerferei cw with Hie number of other animals. An Increase of l.'.o tier cent in these ::6 states would mean in money $1H,267,000. In a new publication of the department, Fanners’ Bulletin 652. Hie responsibility for Ibis loss to the country is laid niHin Hie sheep-killing doc Sheep killing dogs, it is said, are the principal cause of the marked decrease In the number of sheep on American farms. Favorable though the market condi tions were, they were not a sutficionf incentive to Induce farmers to ti.it the heavy losses from stray dogs. If the dog question could I.e satisfactorily disposed of, there seems lo he no reason why the number of sheen in the country could not he increased to the extent already Indicated. In Oreat Britain there is one sheep or lamb for each 2.5 acres of the total area. In the 26 farm states in this country’ there is one sheep or lamb for each 21.S acres. The British farmer handles his land on an Intensive basis and feeds his sheep on foragecrop pasture. Such pastures not only increase Hip fertility of the land hut also free the sheep fiom many internal parasites contrac'od through glazing upon permanent pastures. In particular the use of the most prevalent and disastrous scourges of young stock, and will enable 'he farmer to market by the end of .tune or the first of .lulv, when market prices are usuallv the highest, the lambs that were horn in the late winter or early

spring.

Handled under such comlil.ions and on high priced farm land, the importance of a small flock of sheep cannot he o' crlookcd In addition to pointing out the « fads, the bulletin discusse the posri- ' le ■ .cans id preventing In the future I the loss from dogs. At the present 1 t : " the various state laws on this ii l.jdt differ widely, some si;. . ; u-ing the money obtained from do.' licenses to reimburse sheet) owners, while others permit the sheepmen to frcover damages from the dog ovvn- . . ■ nd two offer them no reeouiso v ’ oevor. , s, howevor, are very -cldo’n • Id in tho act of killing sheep. It i. always difficult to delermine Hu .■ owners, and where the damages are paid hy the state directly from tpe do Inv funds the money very frecp:. ntly Is far from mfliclent to meet all the claims. A remedy Hint F Mtet'e. ied for this situation is a uniform state dog law embodying the principle or a tax’ upon docs suffiefintly heavy to discou a •* tho e who are pot willing to lake tare of their pets from Keeping th Under this plan all do-* over ir months of age must ho licensed . rh year, the tax paid a* the time of ii Icon, ing and a metal tax l.enrine tfi-' . license number attached to the dog's

. collar.

Any dog found without this tag tin- . nttended and off its owner's premises. ' under this plan, may he killed. When j found unattended on a farm where ! sheep are kept the dog may he kilted 1 whether It has the tag or not. and uni tier any circumstances a dog caught » chasing or killing sheep may he killed. All dogs which can he proved to Ixv slid p killers, tinder the suggested plan, must he killed whether caugh: in the art or not, and a reward of $15 should he offered for anyone Identifying a sheep-killing dog. The money received from dog taxes should he de voted to reimbursing sheep owners for their loss of slock, and thf county should in turn recover this money whenever possible front the dog's own ets A special license should be issued for kennels where large numbeis Of dog* ate maintained under such conditions lhat they cannot possibly do any harm to neighboring flocks.

Time is the best test of truth. Here is a Grecncastle story that has stood the test of time. It is a story with a point which will come straight home

to 'many of us.

Mrs. J. E. Skelton, 314 N. Madison St., Greencastle, says: “I have used

Doan's Kidneys pill* off and on for —i „

some time and by doing so have kept my kidneys in good shape. Before | using them I had a week hack. It j ached almost constantly and I was - bothered with a headache and diz.zy spells as well as other common symptoms of kidney trouble. A box is always sufficient to drive away any signs of the trouble and it has now been some time since I have felt any need of them.” Statement given Oct.

5, 1915.

On October 5,1919 Mrs Skelton said: I very gladly confirm the statement I gave in 1915 recommending Doans Kidney Pills. Doans a”e my standard kidney remedy and taking just a few of them occasionally keeps me feeling fine. ” 60c at all dealers. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.

A commercial traveler had taKCti a large order tip in Aberdeen and endeavored to Impress upon the ennny Scottish mansger who had given the older a box of Havana cigars. "Naw," he replied. "Don’t try to bribe a man. I cudna tag them - and 1 am a mendier ot the kirk!" "But will you accept them as a pres•nt ?” "I cudna," said the Scot. "Well, chen,” said the traveler, "sup pose I sell you the cigar* for a merely nominal stun—say sixpence?” "Wert, In that ease,’’ replied the Scot, "since you ires* me, and not liking tae refuse an offer weel meant, I think I’ll be taking two boxes.”
