Traer. Dec. pa horrible story OF
mismanagement and cruelty to animals
has come to light, which is a disgrace
to the fair state Of Iowa and more es-
pecially to the county of Tama, where
the condition is allowed to exist.
An owner Of farm comprising a
section of land, not far from Traer
has allowed his stock to increase in
number until steers and years old
may be found; cows so old that there
is no more room on their horns for an
additional wrinkle, which denotes an
other year added to their miserable
life; steers with horns that would put
to shame their brothers from Texas;
mares ID and Is, years old, which have
never had a halter on.
Stock of this grade numbering nearly
400 by actual count are kept on this
farm upon which, as a result of pool
management, there is scarcely enough
feed for fifty head Of cattle, and the
reader can form some idea of what
condition the survivors are in after a
long, cold winter with no shelter.
At the end Of last winter it was a
pitiful sight to see the moving skele-
tons Of horses and cattle bumped up
with the cold, shivering in the wind as
in pastures picked bare the fall pre-
vions or in corn fields long since eaten
bare of fodder. At one time last spring
half dozen carcasses could have been
seen lying along the road-animals
which had starved to death; others ly-
ing along the fence or under a bush
dying thru starvation and exposure
And to add insult to cruelty, many OF
the bodies were allowed to remain un,
buried. Those animals lying aroury
the barn were hauled away in man
ure spreader. One load observed, con-
tanned five calves, three colts and five
or six pigs.
This winter finds the herd in worse
condition. They have increased in num-
bers and now there are nearly 400 fac
ing starvation and death. Starting in
July they were fed straw on a bare
burned pasture; they have long since
picked the corn fields clean and in
their extremely thin condition, should
a blizzard strike them, it seems i'm
possible that they should survive, as
they have no shelter, as well as nc
feed.
The authorities had to take action tc
have the carcasses of the dead animals
buried and this winter they will prob.
ably see fit to act more .strenuously
as such condition will not be tolerated
In civilized christian community
much longer.
