TOWN AND COUNTRY
Sit-Like many others, we read and appreciate "Sundowner’s" articles in your magazine. In the issue of August 16, however, we feel he may have missed, the point-or possibly, have missed the opportunity to point the moral! ' Is it advisable to throw the land open, indiscriminately, to town dwellers when they chase, unmercifully, a valuable cow until in terror she attempts to leap the barbed-wire fence, and in so doing, tears her udder so badly that she must perforce be dried off and fattened for slaughter-this, when she is still a young animal, with many potential years of -milk-production ahead of her? Or when they leave the gate open and let the bull out, to visit, joyfully, the neighbour’s herd on a peaceful Sunday afternoon when both owner and neighbour are away from home-the result being rancour, not only between owner and town-dweller, which perhaps counts little, but also between owner and neighbour, which is disastrous? I am afraid these are but two 6f many similar incidents which have happened in this corner in the last five or six years, but respect for your space does not permit of further enumeration. Since you yourselves are town-dwell-ers, however, I presume that the only space taken up by this missive will be within the W.P.B.
