'The Cow Questlop..
Editor Huron Record.
Last stimmer, as well as this sum-
ineer, we have been from time to time
favored through the New Era, with
thrilling instances of destruction to
gardens by the 'cows of Clinton, which
i have no doubt were true, but not in
the way these expositors would have
us believe, Cows will do misobief
\i grant, when the opportunity is given
them, but poor dumb brutes cannot
speak in their own defence, and must
take all ithe blame.
Now Mr. Editor, if yon . notice, not
oue instance is given of a- market gar -
claim suffering through these midnight
cow raids, althoagh they have so much
ito tempt them. The reason 1 tlabik is
this.. These parties deperrebin a great
tneasure on their garden crop, for their
living, and are .partioular to see that
the fences are good and the gate pro.
rperly shut the last thingat night. T
,am very sure if every one who values
his garden, will do the same, wirwciaci-
hear very little about the very useful •
cow. In two instances this summer
given in the New , T myself rhade
the discovery, and turned them out -
and in either case ;it was not the fault
'of the cows, as much as it was of the,
owners of the garden. In one case it
was proved that a tvisolve foot
.been left open, :in the other
was not properly secured. I a
opinion a great deal of this a
and loss is caused through t
the house; leaving the fastentng of the
gate at night, to servants or children,
who often forget to do as they are told,
the half-starved cows (this season in.
particular),
do not 'forget to ceme in.
We are told they have clone as much
damage this sumraeroaawmald pay for
their pasture elsewhere.' I think Alia,
damage would not be very. much ,if
they will -de as 1 recominend. Pasture
