bnsr-p Repre I the la I The Number in Lancaster j h I County?A Plea for Fewer raisin I Canines and More Hogs, ingso Sheep and Goats. no, an Ed. The Lancaster News: This iiomu year will soon be gone. The new year will come bringingwith it the county auditor taking t at returns. Tree I wonder if Lancaster county will pev next year return like it did this the at year?1779 dogs?a wonderful ou ?jj< return, and perhaps not all re propl turned 'ben. Now to begin with, consp a good dog in its place is a use- ne ful animal but a trifling dog is pr0pi, poor property. I tail to see why wiH our people will keep so many Even dogs. 1 know of men who have Symo as many as six dogs and r.ot a WOrd hog. And if there was a hog fje among that bunch of dogs it ladde Jfeld be a poor little fellow, this vv There was a time when flip hi?? ~-j o -' P ftiiu o woods was here and Jul! ot wild the fri game ot almost all (Jescriptiou*, ed wi when a sporting dog would have a ladt been usetul, but that day has caretr passed and there is nothing for havio the dog to do now Since the of the country has been cleared up and 0f w< the wild game killed and leaving upon a few partridges and a few rab- if l bits, the boys can catch them in lowet boxes. My boys get one uearly consii every morning. One ot my weatl neighbors caught 18 rabbi's last ges I winter iu a little skirt of piues upon not over \ acre in size. The weatl partridges, we need all of them, the h and if we would quit r^isiug so tho fi much cotton, sow more wheat be. and oats, we would have more warn: partridges and better ones. It's croak not the amount of birds that is p Thi killed with the gun that hurts, is rea but it a bird dog is allowed to that I run at large on a farm during some* the spring and summer mouths gards he will destroy five times as act8 t many birds by breaking up uests jn and killing young birds before amon tfiey are able to fiv than he will vvhen before his master's gun in the At t hunting season. Our Represen- he s ttttives ought to cut that bird bimsi law dowu to two weeks, like it, is the I in North Carolina, because they out ti ^ still slip over here and kill our Hies. birds. No Now Riippose our people would with< raise 1779- hogs in p.ace of the weat dogs?averaging 200 lbs each at rises in Ik. : 1- ' - ?w pni iub 111 purn, wxiai a i nice profit to our people. As able, it is, where is the profit? tjle w 1 will venture to say there are he is not over 200 9heep in the county 0tiuc and not as ra*uy goa's as sheep POrro What .is the matter with our whic people? ''Cotton" Now, you 0f hit can not raise an animal with less expense and more profit than a sheep. They will stay in the Lfl0 pasture with the cows. You t'Uo. N r noyinf will hardly miss the feed during ions/ the winter that one will eat, and ofth" in 5 months the lambs are grown. The wool from the sheep is a nice profit. My wife sent 100 , lbs to the mills the other day to have made into cloth and blankets. We have 11 sheep now and killed 5 last summer, keep- Co ing one quarter each, butchering state and selling $ of the mutton, sion which netted us from 3 to 4 dol a rail lars each time besides the hide 4 12 and tallow, that is a profit. But enab the dogs got among my sheep cash last spring and killed 3?that with was a loss. Now there is a clear show i profit in raising hogs, sheep and priat I goats, but almost a clear loss in thoui raising dogs. Last Monday, on erty my way to my work, I saw a prop mad4dogjust getting over.a tit. I high< called a mah and he shot the rowe dog before it recovered,from the by t fit. Dogs go mad and will con- upon tinue to do so as vlong as people sevei will raise so many of them.
