The farm utuiiunsti ator will be supplied 'with data along the line which, will be c.aiiaoie'u all farmers. ' As to finish ing the product he pointed out the use oz corn and cotton seed meal for hard ening, the use ot the latter not to ex--ceed zo days, lie appealed to the far mers to get more brood sows and to A.eeo them as the price of pork would b high for years. The farmers were '. eu to favor: a good dog law to en courage sheerT production. He said tue government was considering ac tion along this line , but that the ctfun ty could make a good law suitable to . itself if the government did not act.. He suggested a law. fashioned after J.a, law in brie of our eastern states,. where. i all dogs were taxed so much, with a tax of from one to five times las much on the females. . This tax to be held v to pay all losses from'sheep being killed by dogs and at the end of the year the remainder to go into the. school fund. All money collected to ' be spent in the county. . The address of 'Mr.; Grey was very clear and comprehensive and was an inspiring one and it is to be hoped that much good will come of it. The farmers will have another meeting that of the Board of Agriculture on the first Saturday, in February, to dis- -cuss the purchasing of fertilizer and. lime and such other, maters -as may be brought up for discussion. , - JOHN" EWBANK, Secretary.
