A nelghbor went TO Chicago and bought
a carload Vi calves and brought them
home. This was early In the spring.
He was quito n young man and It was
his first venture. They we're thin and

would eat until they were satisfied and
then lie down This was kept M quite

man that they needed exercise, 80

Cattle should not be fed on corn
alone. Il Ia natural for them TO chew
the cud. and roughncss fed with corn

The drouth In these ends Of the earth
was beneficial In making. not only
sound corn, but In maturing the young
wood on the fruit trees. II IL true that
