the First Hour of Their f. stencs.
About five minutes after the lamb Is
born he is on his feet The unsteady
earth under him now heaves to the
right; surges up and then down, and it
whirls and it twir.5 with him while he
staggcrs and struggles, and twists one
leg around the other like a vine
around tree; or else he spreads those
members all out until they look like
the forks under weather yane. He
tumbles down for the fiftieth time
and for the fiftieth time rencws the
fight to secure that footing in the
great world from which only can ne
reach the life-giving milk. His mothe"
particularly If it is her first-in her
crazy anX;et; to help, knocHs him
down, steps on him, and dOcs-withOut
leaving out possible exception
every thing she should not do, while
she leaves nearly every thing undone
that might help the little fellow to get
the desired nourishment.
