As the township of Colborne last
year shows in its expenses $91.15 ex-
pended for sheep killed by dogs, the
township fathers of this year have pro-
vided tags for dogs, eacth with a, num-
ber made of brass, which the assessor
has left on his rounds assessing bine
canines, so if the dogs are seen killing
the sheep the tag with its uumber
hanging on its collar can be traced
to its real owner. If seen without it
the animal can be shot without any
enquiry we understand.
