Local police are arming themselves with shotguns and have organized night patrol of the roads of Trafalgar township, in Ontario, in an effort to remove all stray dogs that may be taking part in recent sheep-killings in that section. Sheep losses in the past few months to the value of $1,000 have been paid by the Township Council and that body has decided that the time is ripe for action to exterminate the dogs causing the losses. The Council has also offered a •sward of $5 to any one shooting a-log in the act of attacking sheep. This is somewhat in line with the action taken by -the State of Pennsyl-whieh is said to have a dog law that "works." This state has a number of valleys rich in agricultural wealth and mountains rich in mineral resources. These mountains are also excfllent pasture areas for sheep. But miners have a penchant for keeping dogs. The result was that Pennsylvania dropped from third place in the union as a sheep state in 1860, to nineteenth place in 1920. At least the dogs were blamed for much of this tji decline in sheep raising. A few years cartage .... .. 16.40 | a&'° tne State took action.

Haying operations, ready much delayed received further setback, and the harvesting of wheat, barley and alsike crops which are now ripe, was checked. Later crops, particularly oats, are in many cases flattened to the ground. The ton crop has been affected, but with a spell much may be saved. the word "Owner" as applied to dogs cover e/ery person having a right of property in such a dog, every person who keeps or harbors such dog or has it in his* care, and finally every person Alio permits such dog to remain on or about any premises occupied by him. It is not easy therefore to evade "ownership" of a dog constantly seen around one's place, and the owner of any dog is liable for any damage his I dog may cause. The . real protective feature of the sheep .owner, however, i lies in the fact that the State is1 divided into 23 districts and to each district is appointed a competent agent supplied with an automobile whose sole duty it is to enforce the dog law In his district and dispose of all stray dogs. The cost of the agents is said to be easily covered by the dog taxes j Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Jackson and little with a substantial sun; left over to Dorothy, and twin babies.

United States buyers have been willing to pay as high as $200 for extra good grade cows, but low prices for ordinary -itock. This in itself should be stimulating. Also the demand that all tows sold to the States must pass the tuberculin test will increase interest in disease free areas. The next logical development is a central place where surplus cows may be shipped for sale. The disease problem will make it difficult to use existing stock yards for this purpose.
