For many years there has been con-
siderable discussion as to where the
largest single wheat fields in the
world are located. This year and. in
fact for several years back, the palm
for this honor is carried off by citi-
zen Of the Argentine Republic, an
Italian immigrant named Guazone,
whose broad acres are in the south OF
the province of Buenos Ayres.
His last crop occupied an area OF
&C, 72o acres, which is little in excess
of hundred square miles. The next
largest is the Elk Valley Farm in the
United States, operated by Nathan G..
Larrimore, 10, 600 acres in area. In the
vast field over square mile per day
is cut, and so men are required to
shock the grain.
Canada boasts Of a 4, eco acre wheat
field. 1t is situated at the Bell Farm
in the Canadian Northwest.

VOLUNTEER.
He will Stop ill Treatment Of Dumb
Brutes IL Told how to Proceed Legal
fV

1t Is to be hoped that the article by
Business" in the August 10Th issue
OF the New DOMINION concerning the
shameful abuse Of some OF our draw
teams will be appreciated according
TO its worth, and now that this sub
ject is on again let it be agitated I'M
Til some good results are obtained.
The situation is just about this.
II know that 1t is a disgrace that
such abuse Is allowed on our streets,
Why doesn't some person do some
thing? or course ii is not my per-
sonal affair and / cannot afford to
take my time aud risk the personal
enmity Of these people whom / would
have to offend If | would take any
active steps myself in the matter, but
why doesn't the town do something's
Now this is about the way the av-
erage person thinks about il, and
while they are thinking thus, those
poor dumb brutes are being beaten
and driven inhumanly day after day,
and what is going to be done? The
suggestion of Business appealing to
the business men to withdraw their
patronage from these people is all
right, but I fear the evil will not be
wiped out in this way. for if they had
but one trip each day the poor mule
would have to suffer the tortures O
the blacksnake while they are going.
We might ask as in the matter of
delay in street paving, "Whose fault
is it?
Have we humane society," II SO
We would naturally look to that as the
proper organization To take the lead.
All that is needed is for some one to
take the initiative and there will be
plenty of approving sentiment
We all like friends, and naturally
wish to avoid enmity with anyone
This is where the sticking point
comes in. II information is made
against these drivers it must be made
by some individual and that individ-
] ual will doubtless incur the everlasting
enmity of the persons against whom
infoi nation is made. / do not know
as much law as Frank Cox and some
others and do not know lust what the
proper steps would be in shis matter.
but If some one who does know and
who is interested enough in this mat
ter will kindly instruct me as to how
to proceed, | will volunteer TO give
my time and take all necessary i'll will
incurred and bring this thing to
sudden halt. Possibly | see more of
this than most Of you do; as / am out
where ! can see and / never meet one
Of these teams without being satura-
ted with i'll humor for the next half
hour.
DO not think of this extreme cruel
ty as being practced only for the
short time you may see it. 1t is 50 from
early morning till far into the night
with only very short intermission be-
tween beats at any time, and how it
IS possible for any creature to SO long
endure such torture is wonder.
For the sake of these poor brutes
and for our own self respect as citi-
zens let it be stopped not when con-
venient time happens TO come, but
now.
