Farmers as a rule are kind-hearted
and sympathetic and abuse of'the beasts
of burden is something rarely witnessed
in the country. In the cities are often
seen horses, after being driven, tied to

cruelty neglected. Societies exist for
the prevention Of cruelty to animals in
one form or another and the duty Of the
village marshal is to care for neglected
animals. Our town has ample stabling
accommodations and mercy and good
care bestowed upon the dumb brutes
brings rich returns.
