Hudson Bay Dog Trains.

Profanity seems necessary adjunct to
dOg-driying. 1t is unfortunate that, by
some inscrutable dispensation of Provi-
dence, the only method of reaching q
dogs reason should be through unlim-
tied imprecation. But, speaking with
the experience of many days of dog
travel and an intimate acquaintance with
a score or more of dog trains, have
never seen an attempt made to reach it
in any other way. | do not seek to ex-
aggerate, but simply to present dog,
driving as it really is-an inhumane
thrashing and varied cursing. The cru
city with which dogs are treated cannot
be excused. 1t is true they are often
obstinate and provoking, and require Sc
yer, till the team is brought into
subsection. But when helpless animals,
undergoing severe labor in the trains
are not merely beaten on the body with
heavy lashes, but Systematically fogged
on the head till their ears drip blood
beaten with whip-handles till their jaws
and noses are cut open with deep wounds
-cudgeled with clubs, knelt upon and
stamped upon until their bowls turn
into low means of agony-punishment
merges into sheer brutality. And yet
such treatment is of common occurrence.
AS said, the beatings from being inter
mittentbecOme incessant. Many of the
dogs had so exhausted themselves by
violent dartings hither and thither in
their endeavors to dodge the blows of
the descending whip that they had no
strength left for the legitimate task of
hauling the sledge. The heads of Others
were reduced to a swollen, pulpy mass
by tremendous thrashings, while one or
two had given out altogether, and had
been taken from the harness and left on
the plain. The operation of sending a
dog to RomeN had been performed more
than once-a brutal operation in which
the driver sinks below the level of the
beast. Sending dog to Rome is effect
ed by simply beating him over the head
with club or heavy whip-handle unit
he falls insensible to the ground. When
he revives, with the memory of the
awful blows that deprived him of con
seriousness fresh upon him, he pulls fran.
tically at his load. A dog is sent tC
Rome for various and often trivial pro.
vocations--because he shirks or will moi
pull, because he will not permit the driv.
er to adjust some hitch in his harness
| Whie-he is insensible, the necessary Ill
teration is made, and upon recovering
consciousness he receives terrible lasl
OF the whip to set him going again.
