Mr. It. C. Goer said that this is u
question which Interests nil of n,
and although 1 have given it a good
deal of attention, nnd thought out
several schemes, I must confess that
It Is still it very foggy subject, one
that we do not very readily see
through. 1 have used poison with
Mime success, and kept dogs when I
thuight they were of good service,
nnd yet 1 have paid a heavy per
cent, to keep some carnivorous nni
mats, nnd at hint I have come to the
conclusion that I hnvolost more from
dogs than from wolves. In this dls-
cusslon I nm ftlwiut to insert that it Is
better to kill all the doi: and fence
against tho wolves, or both. A good
picket fence will protect Mieep from
the Incursions r nil eartiivorouMinl-
mills in this country large enough
to kill sheep. Much n fence can be
built for seventy-llvo eenU n rod,
and n g(KMl rail fence is worth from
00 to 70 cents, and any sheop-mNcr
would like to Insure the safety of his
Hock by paying mi extra ten cents a
rod on his outside fencing. Kven

hounds hud found eight wolf pups in
one led, near Mr. Geer's farm, and
may be on It. Mr. milliard's dog
had found nine more, nil of which
were destroyed in u few minutes,
and he could not help but think that
this was it great service to every
man In this county who keeps sheep.
The fact that run-about dog.s kill
sheep is no argument, hccnuo such
dogs, ioV a general tiling, are of no
consequence in the chase, and are
no! to bo counted in the nte.uH for
destroying wolves. If every man
