all because it will do her good.
But if there is only one bottle of

it himself because it might not

the pleasure of "salting down"
some of that butter money in ex

A few days ago, one of John
Raker's calves got into the horse
stable, and one of the horses
broke one of the calf's hind legs
below the knee. John did not
get excited and take the calf's
life, but he mercifully amputated
the calf's leg, bound up the
wound, and in due time, all the
calf will need, to enable it to
frolic upon the hillsides along
with the rest of the herd, will be
a wooden leg.
