fhotiTd have milk for twelve weeks after ; and, a fortnight 
before that is left off, water, fhonld be mixed with the 
milk in larger and larger quantities. When the calf has 
been fed on milk for about a month, little whifps of hay 
fhould be placed near him to induce him to eat. In the 
beginning of April they fhould be turned out to grafs ; 
but for a fnort time fhould be taken in for the night, and 
have milk and water given them. The grafs they are 
turned into muff not be too rank, but (hurt and fweet. 
Calves fhould always be weaned at grafs; for, if it be 
done with hay and water, they are apt to rot. The way to 
make calves fat anti fine for veal is, the keeping them ve¬ 
ry clean; giving them frefli litter every day; and the 
hanging a large elialk-ffone in fome corner where they can 
eafily get at it to lick it, but out of the way of their dung 
and urine. The coops are to be placed fo as not to have 
too much fun upon them, and fo high above the ground 
that the urine may run off. They muff be bled when they 
are a month old, and a fecond time juft before they are 
killed, which is a great addition to the beauty and white- 
nefs of their flefli : the bleeding is by feme repeated much 
oftener, but twice is fufficient. Calves are apt to be loofe 
in their bowels; which waftes and very much injures 
them. The remedy is to give them chalk feraped among 
milk, pouring it down with a horn. If this does not fuc- 
ceed, give them bole ammoniac in large dofes, or halls of 
barley-meal. If a cow will not let a ffrange calf fuck 
her, the common method is to rub both her nofe and the 
calf’s with a little brandy, 'which foon reconciles them, 
“ He who will deal a Calf will deal a cow.” H. Ger.

“ He that will deal a pin will deal a pound.” That is, 
He, whofe confcience will let him take any thing unjudly, 
though of never fo fmail .a value, won’t boggle at dealing 
things of a greater value, if they fall in their way.

Golden CALF, an idol fet up and worlhipped by the ]f- 
raelites at the foot of mount Sinai in their palfage through 
the wildernefs to the land of Canaan. Our verfion makes 
Aaron fafhion this calf with a graving tool after he had 
cad it in a mould : the Geneva tranflation makes him en¬ 
grave it fird, and cad it afterwards. Others with more 
probability render the whole verfethus: “And Aaron 
received them (the golden ear-rings), and tied them up in 
a bag,-and got them cad into a molten calfwhich ver¬ 
fion is authorifed by the different fenfes of the word tzur t 
which fignifies to tie up or bind, as well as to fhape or 
form ; and of the word cherret, which is ufed both for a 
graving too! and a bag. Some of the ancient fathers have 
been of opinion that this idol had only the face of a calf, 
and tire fhape of a man from the neck downwards, in imi¬ 
tation of the Egyptian Ids. Others have thought it was 
only the head of an ox without a body. But the mod ge¬ 
neral opinion is, that it was an entire calf, in imitation of 
the Apis wordlipped by the Egyptians ; among whom, no 
doubt, the Ifraelites had acquired their propendty fo ido¬ 
latry. This calf Mofes is laid to have burnt with fre, re¬ 
duced to powder, and drewed upon the water which the 
people were to drink. How this could be accomplilhed 
hath been a queftion. Mod people have thought, that as 
gold is indeftructible, it could only be burnt by the miracu¬ 
lous power of God ; but M. Stahl conjedlures that Mofes 
diffolved it by means of liver of fulphur. The rabbins fay 
the people were made to drink of this water in order to 
didinguidi the idolaters from the red ; for that, as foon a-s 
they had drunk of it, the beards of the former turned 
red. The cabbdids add, that the calf weighed 125 quin¬ 
tals; which they infer from the Hebrew w ord majjckah, 
whofe numerical letters make 125.
