Too many cats in the world, you say, and that, of course, is • quite true; but are we not partly responsible for this, and what are the facts? You find a family . owning a cat, who is fairly well treated. Kittens arrive,, and no one troubles about what will happen in the future—for the present they are "dear little things," and the chil- dren like them for pets. In a few months they are no longer pets; they are "too many cats about the place." They are turned adrift, and share the fate of thousands—ill-used, starva- tion, and death. How much the better way to have destroyed most of them painlessly soon after birth! That seems to be the 'first and most neces- sary fact to bring home to people who Mailed Apples Sold Crop.
