b. &. Rawson of Londonderry has a
woody calf. In color ii is dark brown
and white, the latter predominating ana
covering, with a few small exceptions.
it's back, sides, head. legs and tail. What
this brown covering consists of must he
left to the scientists. 1t isn't more than
AN eighth of an inch in length or thick
ness. no., wholly hiding the skin. IT feels
like wool or some coarse fur. The white.
that covers its belly the greater part Of
its legs. puts a spot in the middle Of tho
forehead and ornaments, in SINAI!
patches, It's back and sides, Is a clean
white hair belonging TO the kline, though
longer than one would expect to ind
upon a siX-weeks' calf. The lines Of
d~crnarkatiOn between the two colors are
clean cut and distinct. Standing off d
few feet one could easily imagine a
brown, hairless calf that some wag had
been o%rnalneting by gluing to its hide
patches of cotton batting.
