out scouting. On his return he made
no report to General Scott, who sent
for him. General Scott was a yeritas

Red Rier valley lis always sufficient
and too frequently excessive, when

surplus moisture With a system, of
drainage that would insure the soil
against flooding, and prevent vexa-
ton and damaging delays, either at
seed time or harvest, the values Of
Red River valley land would be fixed
according to their nearly assured
product As the conditions are al
present, the chances of flooding are
too great to permit any estimate OF

KILLING DUMB ANIMAL s.
Cases Where the Use of ChIOrOfOrIn
Is Positively Cruel.


"Why will so many people cling to
the idea that chloroforming is the most
merciful means of death possible for
dumb animals?" asked a veterinarian
recently Only the other day l was
called upon to perform the trying and
almost impossible task of killing an old
horse in this way.
1.-THE horse, it seems, had been the
pet of wealthy woman who left pro-
vision for him in her will and decreed
that if ever the family to whose care
she intrusted him should deem it neces-
sary to end his life this should be done
with chloroform, so that he might be
assured a painless death. Then the
horse became blind and otherwise dis
abled, and the family decided that
death would be a mercy.
"Of course the provision of the will
had to be carried out, but no greater
case of mistaken kindness could have
been possible 1t is impossible to ad-
minister sufficient chloroform at one
time to kill an animal the size of a
horse so dose after dose had to be
given, the poor brute slowly and pain
fully smothering to death.
"Chloroform is all right for cats or
dogs, but for larger animals it is i post
tive cruelty, whereas a pistol, wen
aimed at the head of any beast, Will
send it out of life so quickly that 1t has
not time to feel the shot or realize
