CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
The Greatest III ardships to Which Farm
Stock Is Subjected.


Stock Is Subjected.
In these latter society for they're
vention -of-cruelty to-animals days and
days of dehorning, ETC., the question
of what constitutes unnecessary cruel
ty to animals is given new promi.
nence and is very widely discussed
from a sentimental point of view.
Prominent among the growing prac-
tees which come in for liberal share
of criticism from the standpoint of the
humanitarian is dehorning; in the
same category are placed the clipping
and docking of horses. Without enter
ing into discussion of these matters
in detail, it strikes Us that, provided
the processes are not followed by last
ing pain, they are justifable if they
subserve any of the following pur-
poses: ~ If they contribute to the
health or the comfort of the animals;
(2) if they materially add to the safe
ty or convenience with which the stock
may be handled; and 81 it they
noticeably enhance the profits OF stock
raising
The greatest unnecessary cruelty to
which the brute creation is subje cted
comes from other sources than surglc-
al operations performed with certain
ends in view, or processes undertaken
for the purpose of altering existing
conditions. If stock raisers would so
look after the pain and suff ring which
come from neglect as to entirely or
even measurably remedy the evils of
which every man is a witness. humans
tarians could afford todrop the matter
of trying to defend the brutes. Hl-ht-
ting harness, exposure to the worst OF
weather, poor quarters or no quarters
for animals in parturition, poor far
riery. filthy surroundings, badly ar
ranged stables, poor feed. insufficiency
of feed, irregularity of feeding-these
and a score of similar things which
could be enumerated-are more clear
ly within the line of unnecessary
cruelty than even the most doubtful
Of the mutilating practices advocated
or already established for eliminating
or changing existing characteristics
of farm stock. These cruelties exist
almost wholly because OF over
sight or sheer thoughtlessness, and
for this very reason are the most diff
cult of all to be raised or removed.
How many readers feel that there is
not some point bearing on this subject
in which their management could be
improyedp- National Stockmaas.

Vain remorse or sick foreboding-
Rise above them all to-day.
Ger the death Of sin triumphant
Go thou forth to life and light
Gifted with the crown eternal
And the matchless garment white.
Yonder is thy Fathers glory,
Youder, soul-reviving air,
And the ways of love that blossom
For the faithful everywhere.
In the most bewildering dangers
That thy timid heart can meet
Do not fear to lose a pathway
Marked by Jesus wounded feet.
Soon shall come another morning
o thou Heavenly Easter dawnl--
When from off celestial visions
Shall the clouds of earth be drawn.
Parted from surrounding shadows,
Thou shalt fly through spaces dim,
Following thy risen Saviour,
And forever rest with Him

The statistics Of the insane asylum
present curious and interesting study.
The causes of insanity given are the
most surprising. Out of 1,057 patients
admitted, we find that only 43 became
insane through intemperance, while 90
minds became unbalanced through relig-
ious excitement, SO domestic trouble, 80
| financial trouble and 35 anxiety and
worry. Hereditary influence is alleged
to be the predisposing cause in 203 cases,
and previous attacks in 228 cases. OF
the 3s causes given, we find one each
charged to prison life, homesickness,
pubesence, prostitution and nuptial ex-
citement. What is most surprising is
that 3 lawyers and only one saloon
keeper appears on the rolls while there
are at least five saloon keepers in the
state to one lawyer. On the whole the
liquor interests get off very cheap and
will no doubt point with pride to the
fact that the saloons are responsible for
only forty.three while the churches
must answer for sixty-three who be-
came insane through religious excite
ment. The farmers and laborers seem
to fare the worst as 396 are from their
ranks. t will afford the average suf-
ferer some consolation to see that on,
