Dog Poisoning

Editor Herald: Thinking that perhaps
you could suggest some means of re-
dress, or at least bring the matter be-
fore the general public, beg to call your
attention to the fact of the wholesale
poisoning of dogs and cats that is going
on in my neigbborhood, viz: Sentous and
Twelfth streets. On Sunday last / had
two dogs poisoned presumably with
strychnine), but managed to save one.
The person who did the dastardly trick
must be near neighbor of mine, and
must have watched my movements, as
/ with my family were at Pasadena
on that day. Several other families in
that neighborhood must have lost dogs
more or less valuable, as L have seen
several animals lying around the empty
lots dead within the last two weeks.
l understand that the Los Angeles
Kennel club has offered reward for
the apprehension of anyone found pois-
oning dogs, and also that there is a
heavy penalty attached to the offense,
though the police tell me that they can
not hang around watching my dogs"
/ cannot see the difference between
stealing personal property and destroy
ing the same maliciously, but suppose
there is u distinction without differ
ence, to the legal fraternity.
With an apology for taking up your
valuable time, am, yours respectfully,

although every grower may, not be
perchance eight miles from his ship

for himself how much his saving
would thereby be calculating his dis
lance pro rata with the figures given
as follows:
Cultivating ten acres eight miles
from the station, [ buy two tons OF
fertilizer for $1,000. This quantity
makes eight loads for one horse, and
six hours are required for a trip.

Lines.

A correspondent in Jacksonville,
Fla, writes that it is the general
opinion there that lines, carefully
wrapped and packed, will soon be-
come an indispensable article in the
markets of the north and west.
Thousands of lines are growing wild
in this locality, and if they should be
placed on the market they would be
a strong competitor with the lemon.
Lines are pronounced by all who are
familiar with citrus fruits far supe-
rior to the lemon in many ways, and
for health the lime juice is highly
recommended. The impression is
that if they should be properly intro
duced in northern markets they
would have a ready sale, and much
benefit would accrue to those who
have produced them for so many
years on Biscayne Bay and the Flor
ida keys. Lines bring ready price
in the Key West and Miami markets,
where they are used almost eXclu-
sively in preference to lemons. Lines
are sold as low as 25 cents per humid
red The experiment of shipping
them north will next season be tried
and permanent market may be
found for many that are neglected in
these parts.-Fruit Journal.
