LEAD VICIOUS
FARM ANIMALS
Parents Should Teach Children
How to Properly Handle

OBy NJ. TYLER IRONS.)

CBy NJ TYLER IRONSO
Every boy and girl on every farm
In the country should be taught very
early in life that under no circum-
stances should they undertake to lead
an animal of any kind by tying the
lead strap around the wrist or around
the body, or fastening 1t TO them
selves in any way. There is hardly a
week that the papers do not contain
report of some child or some young
man or girl being dragged to death
by a frightened or angry animal
From the time he is big enough to
work around stock the child should be
taught how to lead an animal and he
should be SO repeatedly warned
against tying the lead strap to HIM

ward, under any circumstances, think
OF doing 1t. The weight of the body
can be thrown against the lead strap
without fastening it. The man who
is dragged around by an animal and
has his legs broken or possibly is
dragged to death because he has been
so foolish as to fasten a strap to him.
self has only himself to blame for his
foolishness. But the child who has
been killed in this way is often a
sacrifice to the carelessness of the
parents in not teaching him how to
lead stock.
