THE COW AND HER CALF,

Teaching Young Bovine to Drink-Boy-
ish Cruelty to Animals.
Learning" q calf to drink was one of
my boyish crosses. The natural position
OF calf in nursing is one with the head
elevated, and the nose turned up. OF
course there is opposition when these po-
sitions are exactly reversed, and the calf
has to swallow up instead of down. Every
country boy knows all about the process;
how he sticks his horny hand and nail
tipped fingers into the tender mouth, hith-
erto accustomed only to the soft teat of
the mother; how the frightened animal
struggles; how he jams its head down
into the milk; how the calf ''bunts'' and
drives the milk in showers into the face
of the boy, and how in time. the little
juvenile passes from sucker to drinker,
and then Is ready for the advent of the
buyer.
Removed by long time from these oc-
currences, I find there is something truly
pathetic in the life Of the average calf and
its mother. She is deprived Of It at the
earliest possible moment in order that her
milk may be used for the dairy, and pend
ing the arrival Of q purchaser it is fed on
Skinned milk less expensive than the
original article. Whoever in city or coun-
try has seen a cow in company with her
calf has noticed every evidence of warm
affection. When opportunity offers she
laps its skin with her tongue, and caresses
it with her nose, and places herself in
vitingly in a position to enable it to reach
the fountain of nourishment.
When the calf is taken away, her dis
tress is as evident as that of woman
who has lost her child. Her melancholy
cry rolls across the country and is echoed
from the hills. There are in it qualities
of grief that are as palpable as If en-
bodied in the human voice. All the day,
and during the solemn stiffness Of the
night, at intervals of few minutes, the
dolorous call Of the mother for her miss
ing child breaks on the ear.
To the boy there is nothing pathetic I'm
the occurrence. 1t is something which is
to him matter of course. He is yet q
savage. He watches the sssticking' of
hogs in the annual butchering with lively
interest, and longs for the time when he
can perform the same feat. He sees with
indifference the enraged farmer plant his
heavy cowhide boot in the ribs Of
fractions cow, and with equal equanimity
sees the same person maui the head of an
unbroken colt, or q sensitive, timid horse,
with heavy sled stake At this remote
period my conscience pricks me for the
stoning Of animals, the kicking of patient
horses, and other things Of the kind,
which, when done, were done with entire
Inconsistencies as to their brutality
