I have seen almost every calf on several large farms carried off by black-leg. There is no secret as to its prevention. Keep the young calf gradually growing, never let him want; give 1 to 2 lb. of oilcake a-day; and keep up the irritation by cords with a good hold of the dewlap. After the first winter, black-leg is little to be feared.
A horse took the staggers, a fine veal calf died of the black-leg, and some of his sheep of the red-water; the cows began to grow vicious, and to kick down the milk-pails, and the roof of one end of the barn fell in; and the farmer took it into his head that Mick Flannigan's unlucky child was the cause of all the mischief.
Me a black-leg! So the dark fellow drew his two hands over Jack's jaws, and in a twinkling there was a pair of ass's ears growing up out of his head. When Jack found this, he knew that he wasn't in good hands: so he thought it best to get himself as well out of the scrape as possible.
'And that brute of a woman deuced handsome she is! if you care for fair women, Redworth: she's a Venus, jumped slap out of the waves, and the Devil for sire that you learn: running about, sowing her lies. She's a yellow witch. Oh! but she's a shameless minx. And a black-leg cur like Wroxeter! Any woman intimate with a fellow like that, stamps herself. I loathe her.
That's another dirty dog that I'm going to put my mark on when I get him in the door one of the most low-down, contemptible curs that I know of he makes his living by selling bum life insurance. Phillip F. Lapham is his name but we all call him Flip Flappum he's the black-leg lawyer that drew up that contract that made me lose my mine.
"You're squatting down like an old rooster in a dust-heap," raged the colonel, too angry to be choice in his language. "You, a twenty-five-thousand-dollar lawyer, come in here to me and say that you can't block the confiscatory scheme of a bounder a nobody a black-leg stranger in this state!" "I'll carry on the fight if you order me to do so," said the corporation lawyer. "That's my business.
"The coalition of Blifil and Black George, of the Puritan and the black-leg," John Randolph called the new alliance; and while Clay sought to vindicate his honor in a duel with the author of the phrase, nothing that he or Adams could do or say was able to overcome the effect upon the public mind created by the cold fact that when the Clay men turned their support to Adams their leader was forthwith made Secretary of State.
Didn't he hire that black-leg lawyer to draw up a cinch contract with the purpose of grabbing all I found? Well then, that shows how honest he was and now I'm out after his scalp. I've got to raise a stake, so I can fight him dollar for dollar; and then, sure as shooting, I'm going to bust his bank and make him walk out of camp.
This home should be different from the rest; she would make it so by patience as well as by its possessions. The black-leg was not an immediate danger, and she would look for the best. Winter passed, and spring. The patience Elizabeth had vowed to command had been tried to the utmost in some particulars. John had never taken her to see Aunt Susan.
Travilla had risen, and the two stood confronting each other like mortal foes. Mr. Travilla was the first to speak. "I have met you before, sir!" he said with stern indignation. "Indeed! that must be a mistake, sir, for upon my word and honor I never set eyes on you before." "Your honor! the honor of a sharper, a black-leg, a "
