mont farm via Keene, to Boston, and Mrs.
| Powers inspected the cattle at Keene.
| The condition Of the cattle caused her to
| sidetrack the train, take them out and
| give them feed and water While this
| was being done, several dead calves were
found, it is alleged. and one cow was so
| nearly dead that the plucky woman in
| mercy shot 1t. The Vermont statutes are
| particularly severe in prohibition Of ship
ment of calves in the same pen as that in

not fed and watered at stated intervals
