Peculiar Stimulation

An English farmer, who testified in a license hearing, said that ,he “was in the habit of giving a quart of beer to the cows after calving, and that he also gave them a pint of whisky occasionally.” If deprived of these beverages the stock would suffer, he said. Beer for calving is comprehensible, if a revelation of British dairy methods. But a pint of whisky for a cow is not easily seen through. Perhaps it was a cow so stimulated that jumped over the moon.
