their foil growth are fatted with diff
f;cnlty, and only by extraordinary
means. Calves, for example, can only
be fatted by great quantities Of milk,
to which must often be added eggs,
barley or oatmeal, or the -four Of beans
or peas; and With all this abundance
and selection Of food, they yield little
ifany interior fat or tallow. Whereas
oxen, at six years Of age. with cores
ponding treatment, give large quanti-
ties Of that article. Old cattle are
also, from loss Of teeth, debility Of
stomach. or other internal d'sorganiza-
ton, difficult to fat. These facts suf-
6cienuy indicate what, on this head,
ought to be practiced to fatten cat
