The society for the prevention Of cruelty

that one is almost inclined to hope for the
existence of a society to prevent inhu-
mainly to human beings. The society
with the long name is now combining
business and pleasure, at least this is true
of the agents who are detailed to visit all
the fairs and see that the cattle In the
pulling contests are not treated cruelty.
According to the view Of the officers of
the society for the protection of animals,
the judges Of the pulling matches are
directly responsible for any cruelty In
driving. When the cattle are turned over
to the judges for measurement they go
into their hands, and are under their
control. They are also under their control
during the teaming; and the judges are
directly responsible.
