at the suggestion Of . workman, the

OF the vine left intact, was taken TO the
house and deposited In . garrett room,
where II could get q sun.bath part OF

several layers OF cotton cloth, and this
was submerged In q. dish Of new milk
morning and evening. On the start II
absorbed . pint OF milk In q few hours.
This was presently increased TO quart
