Of the Calf.

NOw concerning the young Calf; You must leave it by the Cow after she has cast with a good strew∣ing of fresh Straw, renewing it often for five or six days together, at which time you may remove the Calf to a∣nother place, and carry it to the Cow from time to time to suck. But if you find that the Calf will not suck; but bubbles with the Teat, not being able to draw Milk, you must look under the Tongue, and if you find there a whitish fleshly substance growing over the Tongue, much like to the Pip, you must cut it off with∣out

wounding the Tongue, with small well cutting Cissers, and wash the place with Water and Salt, and well bruised Garlick broken, which always prevents the Death of the Calf, with∣out which remedy the Calf often dies of this Distemper.

You ought also to be very careful in driving away the Lice which trou∣ble the Calf and hinder his growth, as doth the Scabs, which is occasioned thereby, which may be easily di∣scerned when the Skin wrinkles. These two Distempers are cured by an∣nointing the Calf with Butter, and will wholly be prevented, if you rub the Calf twice a day with a handful of Straw, and do not suffer his Piss to lie under him. And you must be sure to keep him with fresh Strewing, keeping his Dung from him.
