LIGHT FOR ANIMALS We are often i'm
pressed with the gross neglect of otherwise
intelligent men, in not securing abundant
light for animal life. To the animal and
the plant alike, ard to each and every hu.
man being, light as well as warmth, is abso-
lutely Indispensable. Put plant in cell
lar, and it will grow up colorless, flexible,
heathess, Put it in dark place, and yet
give it air, and it will hardly do Better
Yet people will attempt to bring up animals
imprisoned and housed. In some public re-
marks we had occason to make,we stated
that pig would nqt grow if deprived of
light. We soon after met an old gentle
man who had lived sixty years without
knowing this fact, and the first words he
addressed to us were: "Well you told me
my pigs would not grow. Two years ago
put in a snug place under my barn six pigs.
It was warm, but dark, and they were fed
through the floor. In the spring took
them out, and they looked like rats; they
hain't growna pound.-Er.
