treatment visited upon helpless calves ev-
cry Monday when they are brought to the
station and shipped to Boston on the stock
train. On each succeeding Monday the
helpless creatures are carried through the
streets lying on the bottoms of wagons
with their feet tied, and sometimes they
are strapped down. Oftentimes they are
thrown out upon the platform like so much
| dead freight and lie there until they are
| crowded in among and under the cows till
| the car is full. That the weaker ones can
| long survive the trampling and crowding
seems impossible. The laws of Vermont
are ample to prevent all such cruelty to an
imals, and it would be good thing if our
local society for the enforcement Of this
law could be revived 1t is stated to us on
what seems to he good authority, that it is
a common thing for calves no more than a
day old, and certainly less than week old,
to he shipped away as above stated II
they are killed and sold as veal ON their ar.
rival in Boston, it is an offence for which
the laws Of every state in the Union pro
vide a severe penalty.
