TAKEN NEXT YEAR
Every person alive in Canada on
June '1, 1021, will have his or her
name appear .'iii the census records
compiled by the Dominion Bureau of
Statistics. Two hundred and thirty
commissioners, one in charge of each
Federal constituency, and eleven
thousand enumerators, will be em-
ployed to accomplish this feat. In
the cities and towns it is expected
that the work will be concluded in
two weeks, but it is anticipated that
four weeks will be necessary to clear
up all rural enumeration areas. •
The plan being followed is to have
each constituency divided into enum-
eration areas in cities and towns;
each enunielator will have from one
_thousand to twelve hundred persons
to tabulate, and he will be 'paid ac-
cording to the number of naives ob-
tained by frim. The rural enumera-
tion -tvreas
numeration-tueas are being divided,howev-
er, so that the enumerator in charge
of each will have to eeeure from six
hundred to one thousand names, with
all particulars asked for by the de-
partment.

TO PROTECT SHEEP FROM DOGS.
The act respecting' dog tax and
sheep protection, which conies into
force on April let next, makes it com-
pulsory • for all owners`bf dogs to
procure numbered tags to be supplied
by the Council, and for killing doge
without tags. The minimum tax for
not procuring a tag is $10. County
Councils are authorized' to pass By
Laws requiring all dog tax and license
'collected after 1020 to be paid to the
County Treasurer and ;form a Sheep
Protection Funcl, all define to be paid
by the County, for which purpose vas
uatore are to be `,ppointed. Sheep are
certainly of more value to any corn-,
inneity than dogs and ought to be
protected.
