 A few years ago, in accordance with the public sentiment, we published a protest against the manner in which the farmers brought their calves tied to this station; one thing led to another and finally the officials of the Humane soci- ety were at the station on market day with threats of the law against the farm CTS unless the calves were better hand led. That ended it, the calves were ever after brought ln suitable manner as far as the farmer was responsible, but it in no manner ended the torture of the calves, as those can testify who were kept awake last Tuesday night by the pitiful cries of the car load of calves standing on the c. N B. & W. roads siding at this place. These calves were brought into the station early Tuesday morning, probably most of them having nothing to eat after o'clock, Tuesday a. m., and the car did not Lave this station until o'clock Wednesday a. m., and could not possibly reach the city before late in the afternoon. Thus it may be seen that these calves were here for "A hours without any thing to eat or drink, and without a doubt it was 48 hours before they reached the slaughter. If the dumb animals were able to speak, we should like to ask them which they consider their best friends, the farmers whose every outlook is for their welfare, or some state official who is paid for his sympathy or for restrain ing it, as the case may be.
