OUR DUMB CREATURES
(This in one of a series of editorial* which will be published in
The News from time to time with the hope of increasing the interest
of the general public in the proper care of the dumb creatures about
a».)
THE COW.
Last week we tried to show in thi
rolumns of thii paper that the rse«
of mankind haa Ions known that th<
aniraali <can be uied to advantage ir
making living conditions more favor
able.
Thi* week we will undertake U
throw more light on the subject. Mar
)* a ruling creature. He haa domin
ion over the earth by divine decree
But few of the animals that live or
the earth have escaped the rule ol
the hand of man. and those that havi
escaped, like the tiger and the lion
have been outlawed by him. In partt
of the earth the camel and the ele
rhant have been of even greater sen.
tea to the race than the cow and the
hone are to people in this part of th<
world
It is a fart that animals can b«
used to advantage by men of intelli
gence. Not every man who under
takes to better his condition by (bak
ing slaves of some brute creature ii
aay better off by the effort.
Of all the dumb creator** that art
used in this part of the world, the cow
, possibly is the most valuable, for th«
reason that children derive so moc>
benefit from the milk of the cow; tc
aay nothing of the high value placet
on t)K food value of the meat of th<
animal.
* If mors were known about the liv
ing conditions of the cow in the wiU
etate ft would be easier to compre
hend the needs of the animal in th<
captive state. Let as remind th«
render tit the conditions under whlct
the eow lived before the hand of mar
limited Ha pasture. The plains wen
•see the home of the cow. Ovei
wide stretches of country they roam
ed ia gnat herd* of many thousands
They lived entirely by graaing on tlx
plains, hence they have ne uppei
front teeth becaooe of the habits ol
Mm animal through long age a. Thej
■sedsd no front teeth to get tlx
' tender grass Into their months, s<
the apper front teeth long agee eg*
disappeared. They lived in the coun
try where water waa net plentiful
and so they devtlepsd a stomach that
Mds large quantities ae that what
| they did *et near water they could
mniurni large quantities. The cow
1 in the natarat atate protected itself
from the weather by bunching up in
I dose solid format on where the heat j
■ from large numbers of the animals
would thui make them comfortable.
, For this reason the cow is not pro
vided with a coat of fur that will keep
: it warm like the coat of the bear or
the beaver and many of the other ani
mals.
In the light of these facta let us see
how man is now dealing with the cow,
' for be it known the habita of an ani
mal cannot be changed but Httle
after they have become Axed by long
ngea of living conditions. In the first
place we have deatroyed the herd life.
We no longer allow them to live in
large numbers together. We also
have in many instances changed their |
mode of living—we atall-feed them.
No animal will thrive and do well
unleaa it is comfortable, that it, well
fed and properly cared for in the way
of protection from the heat of the aun
Hnd the cold of tlie winter. In the
state of captivity • very larga num
ber of the cows that might be profi
table to the owner are not profitable
for the nsm that they are not prop
erly houaed. It seems to us that
many intelligent citiaens of this sec
tion have entirely overlooked the idea
of properly housing the cow. In the
natural state she protected herself by
the bodies of the herd. In the state
of captivity how ia aha to protect her
self houaed up in a rail pea with no
bed. She cannot. The result ia that
food that should go to create milk and
fat ia used op hi sustaining bodily
We believe that a very larga box
ber of the eowa that are kept by peo~]
pie in thia section at* kept at a ia
when they should be kept at a profit
to the owner. From what ww know
of the living conditions of the aver
age cow much could be done ia the
way of making living conditions much
better for bar, and«thna make ber
more profitable to the owner.

make an appeal to the teachers of
Surry County to collect and send in to
him any information in regard to any
of these veteran heroes who may be
living or who may have lived in the
county. I am therefore requesting
all the teachers of the county to make
inquiry among the patrons of the
schools of any veteran* in the county
who served hi the Confederate Navy.
If he ia living, give his ndfay and ad

yoc may secure from him. If he is
not living, secure as much reliable in
