Upon his arrival there undiscovered that
one of his hens had ridden all the way
with him in the back end of the buggy.
The doctor had to go further down the
road, so he "shooed" the hen out of the
vehicle and left her there. DR.. Alvey
was gone all that day and night and a
part of the next The hen in the mean
time found her way to Jailer Snod-
grass, chicken coop. where she spent
the night. When DR.. Alvey returned TO
Morganfield the next day he put his
horse in Payne & Meals livery stable

the medicine man was only one OF q
large number about the stable. But

WOULDN'T DRINK MILK.
ter aud Grass and Developed
Into a Good Cow.

We once raised calf that never
learned to drink milk, writes a con-
tributor to National Stockman and
Farmer. 1t was the only case of the
sort l ever heard of and we naturally
supposed that it would die, for by no
possible means could it be taught to
drink any milk, more than just to taste
of it. 1t grew very thin, even before
we gave it up, but as nobody wanted
the job of killing it, we turned it into
the field and let it take its chances.
After that it lived somehow, on grass
and water, and it did not get any too
much of either, for we had the bad
habit of turning calves into sort of
clearing that had neither water nor
feed in much quantity, expecting the
calves to live mainly on milk. The
calf that would not drink milk seemed
to fairly dry and shrivel up till it was
a sort of walking shadow, but it made
a great fight for life and came out in
the fall quite an animal, so that 1T
wintered with the other stock and be-
gan the second year about even. 1t
was heifer and as cow developed
the ordinary milking qualities of the
rest of the herd, none the worse, APP
parently, for its experience. Nobody
had any idea why it disliked milk. l
cannot remember whether it began by
sucking the mother or not, but sup
pose that it did, as it was common to
allow the calf to remain with the cow
till the milk was fit to use.
My experience is that all possible
effort to get calves to eating solid food
early is valuable. We take to late
summer or fall calves as we watch
them more. These can be taught to
eat grass early, and as it does not
physic them as the over-succulent
spring growth does, they can eat as
much as they will without injury.
