The Abuse Of Dumb Animals.

The article in The Phoenix last
week entitled Kindness to Horses"
was much appreciated here by those
who are kindly disposed to the dumb
animal creation, and while we prize
this paper as it comes to us from
week to week. 1t has added value
for the kind words spoken in their
behalf last week. Those who live in
a lumber region where they see so
many overloaded teams and other
abuses often have their hearts stirred
and we wish every paper in the land
would often raise a protest against
these abuses. If the celebrated di-
vine, DR.. Chalmers, in his day felt
called upon to preach a sermon on
cruelty to animals, how much more
in this day is there need of such dis
courses. With the bountiful crop of
hay that has been garnered and stor-
ed we hope we shall not hear Of
animals another spring that have
died for the want of sufficient care
and food, nor of those that barely
survived, as was said of many last
spring. All have heard of the sue
cessful farmer whose bountiful crops
attracted the attention of the neigh
boring farmers who were DESTROYS of
knowing the reason of his success,
and on venturing an inquiry they
were told he mixed brains with his
efforts, and if we were to express our
opinion we would say it was a great
lack of this ingredient that would
cause anyone to ill-treat or underfeed
any animal on his premises. remem-
bering that the article referred to
said it paid in dollars and cents to
treat the animals kindly.
