There is an old proverb which says: “Tt ! is the last straw that breaks the samel’s| bark." When the already harassed farmer received a pamTREATMENT OF phlet recently he : BOBBY VALVES must have felt something similar to the j proverbial camel. Considering that the I natural environment ol' a calf is out in the paddocks in ail weathers with its i mol her, why be asked to erect a shelter lover it and keep it dry underfoot for a I couple of hours, especially in wartime, 'when materials and labour arc practically unprocurable? Perhaps the people interjested could help to procure gumboots for the poor farmer and his wife and children 'to keep their feet dry when they are out jin the mud and rain in all weathers attending to the animals. — “FATIGATUS.’
