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 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.

The flght for the Daggett anti klan hill sustained another relapse today when Senators Everett, Wllsoa and Woodson got through a reaolu tion for the appointment of a special committee to consider all meaaures aimed at the regulation of secret so cieties.
