The French minister OF agriculture
has issued an appeal to the farmers Of
his country urging them to use goads
with blunter points in driving their
cattle. But not because the sharp
steel-pointed goads are cruel: he says
nothing about cruelty; he does not
suggest that these pricks hurt the cat
tie. No; he bases his appeal on COM
plant from the American Chamber Of
Commerce in Paris that farmers and
leather merchants fnd SO many hides
spoiled by the little holes made by the
sharp goads that as high as go per
cent Of some consignments have been
rejected. And thus may business ac-
complish work Of mercy which socie-
ties for the prevention of cruelty to
animals have failed to bring about.
