CARE OF CALVES.
a Humane Way Of Teaching tho Little
Things How to Drink.

q Humane Way Of Teaching tho Little
Things How to Drink.
Some time since you published a
letter from a correspondent in which
he gave his plan for teaching calves
to drink. The point of it was to lie:
them go until they were hungry
enough to drink. Hunger would fetch
them in time. This advice troubled
the writer at the time, but was for
gotten until he began to see the
article copied in other papers. far and
wide.
Now, in this year of our Lord 1888.
I beg that you will allow me to protest
against such cruelty to young calves.
1t is altogether unnecessary. It will
injure the calf. and hence, of course.
the farmer. It is wicked. How could
the writer of that article sit down to a
good meal and enjoy it with those
poor little newborn calves starving in
the barn? He had no moral right to
cause them suffering just to save him.

this writer is one of those who do not
practice what they preach.
Your correspondent has raised scores
of calves by hand. and has always
been able to teach them to drink with.

ment was made to hold the pail Of
milk. 1t was, as nearly as can de.

put the pail in, with four legs under
it, two of them shorter than the others.
so as to tip the pail over little. just
right for the calf to drink out of.
Then three braces were put on. one to
each side and one to the rear. so that
no bunting or struggling could upset
the affair. l used at first to have soino
one hold the pail at just the right
height. Then the idea came why not
make holder? 1t was soon done.
and no milk was spilled after that. and
there was no waiting for any one to
help feed the calves.
Well, the warm milk being in the
pail, in the holder, l got the calf tc

leg on each side Of its neck and worked
its head into the milk-pail. As soOn
