 our children are allowed as much liberty as the worthless curs that 

 make sheep farming in Massachusetts impossible. The remedy is not

 ants and the other domestic animals with the possibility of hydro- 

 phobia, and prevent the pursuit of a profitable industry by many of 

 our citizens. Kindness itself would put such dogs under the turf.
