This was not fear, but a high tension ofexcitement. As we strolled past the Bella Union with what appearance of nonchalance we could muster Danny Randall nodâ€" ded at us from the doorway. â€" By this we knew that Catlin was to be found at his own place. About 6 o‘clock Yank arose, seized his long rifle and departed for the log cabin that bad been designated as the jail.

The explanation. is that sheepâ€"killing dogs are now so numerâ€" ' ous that no flock of sheep is safe from | their attacks unless surrounded by a 1 dogâ€"proof bulwark. 3 The Department says: ‘If the farmâ€" ers of New England could be assured that their sheep would be allowed to feed unmolested at the present day, numerous | flocks would quickly b2 purchased. They have excellent pasâ€" turage for sheep during the summer months and would willingly make proâ€" vision for their care during the wiâ€" ter. The prices which wool, mutton, and lamb now command are sufficient ty renumerative to justify anyone wio is the possessor of idle grassland in New England in purchasing a flock o1 sheep. But some local legislation wili first be necesséry which will recognize the fact that a vagrant dog is a menâ€" ace to the progress of the community and providing a penalty for those who insist upon owning dogs without keepâ€" ing them under proper restraint. Dogs should not be allowed to wander away from their owner‘s premises or leave their owner‘s control, as otherwise they will become a public nuisance. The owner should be held financially responsible for the damage done by his dog, because of the wanton d=â€" struction of the wool and meat that are so greatly heeded in the present times of war scarcity". The situation in many parts of the Maritime Provinces of Canada is simiâ€" lar in this regard to that in New Eng land. in view of the vitel importanc» of securing increaged production . of food animals, municipalities in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick and perâ€" haps in some other province wheto dogs are a menace to sheepâ€"raising. would do well to consider some such action as that suggested.
