Farm, Tropics, 1DQ!�tuii Caattte, This cruel operation is practiced ex- tensively on grown cattle in some .coun• tries, by sawing the horns off close to the head, thus giving ,great• pain, causing bloodto flow, and taking•a long time to. heal, To saw off the ends of the born, just above the quick gives the animal no pain, and is about.as effectual to prevent then injuring each other as to saw lower down; or, if they are about a year old' do it obliquely frons.frolht to back, Af- ter this, as the horn grows, it .turns backward and thus prevents the cattle fro hooking 'each 'other. Bit the best is -to sear the ton of the horn with a red hot 'iron as soon as itjuts an inch or two from the head. The pain of doing this is not very gre:er, and it prevents couch injury of cattle to each other as they grow up and are transported to market.
