There is‘ no more doubt about that than there is that here and there will be found men who do not appreciate the value o{horses in the more settled sections.‘ But for one man who gives his dogs the, worst of it there are a score who care for the animals to the very best of their abiliâ€" ty and the nature of the country in which they are workin:g. On the raceJ tracks of England, on the deserts of ‘ 4 the East, the best in horse flesh was developed. . Horses uses have been bred, over generations, and \**When the Society for theâ€"Prevenâ€" tmn of Cruelty to Animals at the teâ€" cent meeting in Toronto, carried a reâ€" solution deploring dog races, the delegates evxdently were not seized with the facts in connection with dogs or the races. That man who neglects to give close attention to his racing dogs is an exception.. Owners of race horses are no more careful to the health or wellâ€"being of their animals than â€"are the menâ€" who own racing dogs.. These animals are given the mist scrupulous care. Each of them gives his dogs special ‘treatment deâ€" signed to strengthen them and overâ€" come the fatigue of the trail they have just, been through.. Dog, races are not held for mere sport, but there is back of the gruelling tests the thought of amproving the race of dogs for work in the North. . Nor could the North get along without its dogs. â€" En a country that for. half the year is under snow and minus roads, dogs play a most important part in the life of the country. They are the beasts of burden; they carry men and maâ€" terigl ; they penetrate to parts unâ€" known they are the companions of scores of men who spend the winter in the North; they are friends of In, dians and whites alike. . _Hnnld.ne Socmty of Toronto that dog racing is cruel. As The Advance;, has already suggested, the Toronto people were talking about somethmg that they did not know about. Beâ€" canse prospectors and others using dog teams are generally good fellows their dogs.are well used. ‘As a matâ€" ter of fact the dogs are valuable and so have consideration ev en from selâ€" fish motlves The same is true abotut. the racing dog.teams. In this conâ€" nection ‘The Sudbury Star last wéek had the following editorial :â€" ‘: Governments assist even at this late _date to improve the breed of horses. The North needs its dogs. The} must be more than mere dogs. If speed was required in other clv1hzatlons, 80 the civillzation of the North needs its spsed animals. Racing is calculated to ‘canunse selections which ultimately will produce the express dog. Other breeders will take care of the heavy burden animal, and yet others wwill see to it that the roadster is available. for the North trails.‘‘ GEO.

As for the study' of the wild wolf:in his native hgaunts, we are learning more and more to reâ€" ly upon the independent investigaâ€" tions ‘of Mr. Jim Curran of the Soo@ Daily Star. In a sense we may <be said to be collaborating with him in his great work on wolves, for whlle; he pads on snowshoes across the winâ€" try wastes ‘of Algoma and listens by mght in a trapper‘s shack to the wolf stories that are being told, we stay bere in Toronto and envy hxm these midâ€"winter outings and get him to tell us all about them when he. comeg_ to the city. In other words, Mr. Cars ran keeps in touch with the. wolves and we keep in touch with Mr. Curâ€" ran, with the result that we are both getting to be pretty good authurities on these animals.. Therefore we feel freer than we othérwise would to exâ€" press some doubts upon the soundness of the wolf policy advanced in the legisiature by Mr. T. Legault, MLA.,{ of Sturgeon Falls. He advocates a great wolf hunt in Northern Ontarip with $10,000 offered in prizes by the Ontario government, . C.P.R. once got up a wolf hunt that proved. a great success except that nobody even saw a wolf. If Mr. Leganlt; means that ten thousand dollars in prizes be distributed among those who_f; kill the most wolves within twelve months, this incentive, if it moved every man in the north to kill all these animals he could, might qccom-, plish a good deal. But to stage a big wolf hunt for a week or two would be to court flat dtsmppomtment, for. notoriqusly, wolves are never where you look for them. The better way, as we see if, it to raise the bounty on wolves to $40, as it formerly was.'f Even at $15 a man will kill every wolf he gets‘a chance at, but at $40 per head many of the most capable men in the north will make wolf huntâ€" ing a‘ very determined part of their business." The wolf is ecunning when trying to save his, hide, but if the bounty is high enough to mterest all the front and back of a man‘s mind he can prove more cunning thnn the wolf.‘"‘ mE P People of Southern Ontario have as little conception of Northern Ontario as they have of Mexico, when thoy dlass parts of it as ‘‘bad country," said Dr. J.
