The room is light and clean as a stable where a heifer is shackled to a tilting table. A vaccine virus from another animal is injected, lymph is collected, and preserved with ivory points, then crusts are formed and packed for shipment. Two cruelty inspectors deemed the process non cruel, and the Maine Farmer extols beautifying homes to elevate virtue and happiness.
