many nbre thar We do. We think il Is
certain that when IN . state Of nature
there j nOs near 50 many diseases follow
m aaimal, as when It 10 under domestic
care.
1t b quite probable that there is much
more in the popular phrase about killing
things with kindness than We imagine.
Not that We should be harsh or unfeeling,
but We do many things under the feeling
Of care that is unnecessary, and even an
injury to do. We do things for some
certain reason, and then continue the
practice from habit without any reason at
al. Take, for instance, the way in which
. brood of young chickens is treated. 1t
is quite likely that if there is long grass
about or tall weeds, the young may be
dragged through by thoughtless hen
till the little chickens are tired out, or
perhaps lost To guard against this, the
hen is put into coop rs soon as the
chickens are hatched till they are strong
enough to follow pretty well wherever
she may lead them. This being usually
the case on farms, the practice became
rather common, till every one thinks
young brood with the mother must be
cooped up. They who should refuse or
neglect to follow this practice would be
thought to be very green sort of people
No one ever thinks to ask why they do
this. Only it is the practice and it is
done
But the experience of large numbers
prove that many young chicks are lost
every year by the most attentive pains
taking. It is not too much to say that
not one-half-and this is good average
ever live to grow to maturity. On the
other hand, how rarely it is that hen
which steals her nest" fails to bring up
nearly or quite the whole lot ? The fact
Is, that the young getting through the
coop and hearing the mothers continu-
Gus calls to come back, are rendered ner-
vOas and subject to diseases to . far
greater extent than they would be if en-
tIrely trusted to the hens own care. In
fact, physical exercise and cheerfulness
areas essential to health in an animal as
they are to the human race.
How the lack of these things operate
injurioasly on animal life, is shown by the
experience with animals in geological
gardens and menageries. If they are
taken at mature age and placed in con-
fnement, they are nearly sure to die, As
everybody knows who has endeavOred to
bring up in this way captive rabbit or
bird. He has to take them very young
to succeed Even when taken young
they are subject to diseases, no matter
how careful they may be handled, from
which in nature they are free. COnsump-
tiOa especially is very disastrous, large
numbers dying annually from this one
disease alone The want Of exercise of
kind suited to the wilder nature. and
what il to them the cheerful surrounding
Of their native homes, makes all the dif
ference.
We may learn valuable lessons IN the
treatment of our domestic animals from
these considerations Our care may not
always be kindness. Animals require re-
cre.tiou g well - the rest Of rs, and are
better sble 70 take care of themselves
than we think for.- Country Gentleman.
