Daniel Blanchard, drover, who buys
and loads large number of calves at this
depot, says the MONITOR was wrong last
week in an article relating to the keeping
of calves without food, etc. We are
! glad, both to learn that the item is wrong
| so far as one drover is concerned, and to
correct any false statement. Mr.. Blanch-
ard says that he feeds his calves milk
and gives them hay and water. Our item
may have been little exaggerated, pos
sibly, but the facts, in many instances,
are as they are stated, and if the poor
| beasts shall receive any better treatment
for what the MONITOR has done in their
behalf, we shall not feel very badly if a
few drovers get excited at our efforts.
At the meeting Of the Village Improve
ment society on Friday evening, an or
