He was interested in farm animals and made an extensive study of veterinary medi cine and surgery, which he practiced widely and successfully in his later life. During the last three or four years his health was broken. He struggled courageously for a time to regain his strength and to resume his active life, but in vain. Of late his decline was rapid and he met the end without fear. He earned an honest living and he lived an honest life.
