yelling of some wretched kicked and beaten 

 dog. 



As I have said before, Kafirs never think it 

 necessary to feed their animals, although they 

 seem to be very fond of keeping them. There 

 are usually many dogs in each kraal with their 

 framework distinctly visible, who rush out in a 

 pack snarling and barking at every stranger pass- 

 ing by; the sight of a stick, however, is sufficient 

 to send them running away tail between legs, 

 some even yelping in anticipation, showing too 

 plainly bow well they know the application of it. 



When the young mealie plants begin to grow, 

 it is, of course, necessary to secure the goats and 

 pigs, and my heart has often ached when looking 

 into a sty, to see a poor gaunt sow with a 

 large small family all fighting and dragging at 

 her, trying in vain to get the nourishment it 

 is out of her power to supply, and not a drop 

 of water or a morsel of food anywhere to be 

 seen. I suppose they must be given just enough 

 food to keep life in them in the course of the 

 day, but that is all.
