C. Myera— • We parents want our children to be kind to animals. In learning to do so, they cultivate the finer emotions and gain moral values. We best begin through good exam ple in ourselves, and in training of the child as soon as he can move about. Years before the child is able to care for a pet, there may be such pets as dogs or cat in hii home. Learning reasonable restraints, he can be taught to treat the animal gently, kindly. If, however, the tot should resort to tormenting the dog or cat by deliberately hurting it, he should be restrained. Sup pose your 3 -year-old child throws things at the pup or kitty or hurts it in some other way Right then and there, give that child a good sound spanking and every time thereafter, if he should repeat the offense. Be decisive. More talk will not be enough. Train him first and reason with him later about such matters. Op the farm, the growing child needs to leam to be kind to the animals. See that he does not throw stones at them, or at the birds—common offences among ru ral children. Very important to hia moral education that he should ob serve in adalts their proper care of the horses and mules that pa tiently do hard work—properly fed and watered, blanketed while idle out of doors in cold weather, not overheated or overworked. Give Him Responsibility As soon as a child is old enough to care for a pet, let him leam to take responsibility for its care, in case he is to cliim priority to Its enjoyment .The trouble iB that there generally is some adult of the family who robs him of this re sponsibility, alwayB looking after the pet when be doesn't, even though grumbling to him for his negligence. He cannot learn re sponsibility for this pet unless he cares for it as regularly as he eats his own meals. To train him in proper responsi bility it may be necessary to set definite penalties (such as making him go without food when he has let the dog do so), and strictly en force thera. If the parent does not possess sufficient self-discipline to carry through such a program— and many parents don't—there re main only two courses to follow: to dispose of the pet, or to shut up and care for it herself. As a rule she will care for It, but go cm vsin> Iv lecturing the child for his de linquency; from which he gets more moral harm than from neg lect of the pet. The Humane society, local, state, national, has rendered a good serv ice in prevention of cruelty not only to animals, but also to women and children. TRICKERY IN TOMATO PATCH • St. Paul/—It's getting so that people can't trust even their own tomatoes.
