The Proper Care of a Calf 

 Pet calves were the special joy of the editor during her child- 

 hood; their big wondering, blue eyes, their playful awkward 

 jumping on stiff wide-spread legs, their manner of shaking their 

 tails to express laughter and many other of their calfish ways 

 afforded the keenest pleasure. Many a time have my shoes and 

 dress received an involuntary bath when I was teaching a calf 

 to drink, my arm bared and my fingers placed seductively in its 

 mouth to encourage it to drink the milk in the pail, when a sudden 

 bunt of the head given instinctively to cause a flow of milk in its 

 mother's udder, upset my pail and my patience as well. But the 

 innocent and grieved air the culprit invariable assumed as it 

 tried to get its nose into the spilled milk always condoned the 

 accident.
