year or two over forty, having her sleeves
rolled up and her hands covered with

Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

The Illinois Humane Society has issued
the following appeal, addressed s. to the
humane men and women of the North
| west"
Should pestilence seize our domestic
animals, no pains or means would be
spared to find remedy. Preventive
measures would be enforced with the
severest penalties.
Should band of maraaders, merciless
and powerful. sweep over the land, taking
the life of every dumb animal as they
passed, vigilance committees would be
speedily organized and vengeance would
| be taken without stint and without mer-
cy.
Improper feeding and neglect are not
so speedy. but they are as sure as pesti-
lence in wasting the lives OF our dumb
| friends.
Overlooking beasts of burden; overdriv-
| ing willing animals; torturing those an
willing to be overloaded or Overdriven !;
| beating those whose physical condition is
unequal to the task imposed upon them
these are as fatal as the knife or the bullet
of the marauder and far more cruel, since
they permit prolonged and oft-repeated
suffering.
Ii Humanity does not suggest proven
tive measures and demand punishment
| for violation OF law, mercenary motives
may be adduced. 1t is believed that the
| increased value of animals protected from
wauton injury will far more than re, Jay
| the cost of their protection.
The measures thus far adopted have met
with the most hearty approval of all right
thinking men and women.
The mere fact of an organization for the
enforcement of the law against cruelty to
animals will preveItin large measure the
thoughtless cruelty now practiced, and an
occasional fine for fragrant violation of law
will secure kind treatment for our dumb
| friends. Their mute appeals ought not to
need the enforcement of law, but that
SUCH need exists everywhere cannot be
denied.
One of the Directors of the Illinois HUI
name SOciety-nOt an officer-has within
| the past few months, while in pursuit OF
| his regular business, attended to more
than 100 cases requiring only reproof for
! correction. His connection with the So
ciety has given weight to his reproOf.
! Effectual work demands organization.
| Concert of action alone will secure the
correction of willful offenders and dimin-
/ iSh the vast amount of thOughtlessness on
| the part of those not willfully cruel.
| The illinois Humane Society will be
glad to forward such publications as may
aid you in the formation of State or of To-
cal societies, and it invites correspondence
upon this most important subject.
Without waiting for organization or of
| fetal action, each man or woman may find
occasion to speak to heartless men or to
needless boys, and thus save the faithful
horse and feathered songster from cruel
treatment.
Let the friends of kind treatment of an
finals take the matter in hand at once, and
the blessings promised the meTciful will
be their rich reward. -

A New Food for Horses and Sheep.

is placed the linseed add boiling water.

five hours; then stir the mass well up,

giving substance to the frame. Professor
Samson reminds us not to overlook the
food. the nourishment question, in connec-
ton with the ameliOratiOn of live stock.
He cons ders oats, as so generally given to
sheep, as Objectionable and approaching
the improbable. Rams generally receive
one pound of oats daily, ewes half that
quantity. Oats, forming an exciting food,
are especially suited for rams during the
season when they serve but for Fastening
the development of young sheep they only
build up the bones, not the flesh.
