Beacon of March 18th speaks as fol-
lows of a former resiclent of the llth
non. of Grey :—John Hyde, aged 14,
son. of J. B, Hyde, 211 Ontario street,
Was bitten by a dog last night while
delivering the Beacon. The dog has
been running at large without a
muzzle. Complaint has been made at
the police court and the Mayor has
also been notified. The dog has been
taken:citarge of and is being kept to
see whether he will develop rabies in
accordance` with directions from the
Goveriunent in such cases. Mr. Hyde
is of the opinion that the dog shooter
employed by the city should have
been retained longer. Ae dogs may.
be seen running at large every day
without muzzles it is evident some
more energeticmeasures ought to be
taken to enforce the regulation.

to bleed then take knife again and
crake an incision at the base of the

roll off the bird and bliss Ellie believes
that this system of killing fowl is al-
most painless.
She also recommended breaking.the
neck of towl as this severs the spiral
cord. In preparing fowl for market
use crate fattened birds and in pluck-
ing leave a few feathers round neck
and on tip of wings, Always leave
the head on the bird as the head is the
first member of fowl to show disease.
If the heads are removed a buyer is •
l
apt to think the fowl may y have had

atlue disease @
conceal this fact,.
