A lad who had undertaken a position on a farm, asked his employer for a haircut. This was given on the understanding that ninepence be stopped from his swages. On another occasion the same employer gave a youth a calf. This he kept and looked after in a manner which was a credit to the boy, until the animal had almost reached maturity. Then the employer made his presence felt, by taking the fatted calf, selling it, and adding insult to injury, by telling his “victim” that he would replace it with another calf.
