Then I brushed her from head to

quiet-. After awhile, she beg -an to eat, _
and drank a bucket of water. For.. a,
, few days she never ate unless one of

we left. she \could bellow constantly.
To offset Iter loneliness 'I bought a
small calf which I put in an adjoining

In ' the same.. way I taught her to
hack from her .stall, l,y pushing gently
