The following communication. was
received in answer to the item in last
weeks issue regarding the shipping of
calves from Barton Landing:
Mr. Editor Your last issue states
that complaint is made from this
place that calves of tender age are
brought here to be shipped to market
and are obliged to go without food
from three to five days. This charge
is against @. E. Winslow, as he is the
only shipper from this station. Let
us have the facts: Tuesday, May %,
calves were taken to the yards, which,
on account of the delay in getting in
horses, were not shipped until We'd
nesday night. This is the only in
stance of the kind this spring, except
the delay in transit the week of the
freshet. These calves were literally
fed, only one being too young to eat
hay, and this was sold in the village.
When placed in the car, bundles of
hay were put within their reach. The
calves left here Wednesday night for
New Haven. The writer was at the
stockyards the same night and no
ticed the calves and their con-
ditiOn. He saw the care taken for
the comfort and safety of the animals.
A good man went with them, and the
writer heard him instructed to feed
and water them at White River juno
ton and at Springfield, to get all the
help he needed and more feed, if he
had not enough on board. From some
little observation 1 am satisfied that
one would have to travel some dis
lance to find a station where there is
less occasion for such complaints
than at Barton Landing. CALF.
