The Limestone City lives Its serene lite at the foot of Lake Ontario, ?Fond of its paltt, but perhaps a little , disappointed at the march of more aggressive eitkes. It others have num- bers, Kingston has interest and In- Auenee, a record of service and , participation In the country's life which few may equal. 1t in realised ' by ilew that Kingston is the oldest settled part of Ontario, and In his- toric Interest Is surpassed only by Uuebee to the Dominion. First, In the fur trade, then in defence, ship- building, commerce and politics, the • old grey city has maintained a place of importance through lie more than 360 years. The palisaded tort by the waterfry t, Brat established by the ' great li'rontenac himself, has long since gone, but the equipment of pub- ' lie buildings to -day, the City Hall, Court House, Custom House, St. George's Cathedral, St. Mary's Cathe- dral, Royal Military College and the wonderful group of Queen's Oliver - oily buildings, would be a credit to any community. ' It was an effort to break down the hostility of the bloodthirsty Iroquois, who were forever menacing the St. Lawrence settlements, that led the French Ant to visit the site of Kiugs- ton and establish a fort and trading poet. The great Talon had to 1670 urged Louis XIV. to _establish two post en Lake Ontario, one on the aorth and one on the south shore, and Governor de Conrcellee, follow- ing a canoe trip up the St, Lawrence in 1671, bad been seised with the same idea, but It remained chiefly for La Salle, the impetuous explorer ot the Mississippi, to further show the way. Frontenac carried out the plan with much impressiveness. He had sent Lt Salle ahead to round up the Iroquois• at Cataraquf, as the site of Kingston was then called, after the river emptying there. A party of 400 men, In 120 canoes and two flat- bottomed boats, left Montreal in the summer of 1673, and made their way up the river. Sometimes fifty men were required to haul the scows up the dashing rapids. The bateaux were gaily painted, to Impress the Indians beyond the awe which the cannon and muskets would inspire. The landing took place on July 12, and the following . morning drums beat and there was a Council, the Indians approaebtng Frontenac'a tent through a double line of soldiers. After Divalent greetings, Frontenac ad - tinned the red men, whom lie sought to eoeree into peace, and warned the Iroquois that they must lire as bro- thers with the Algonquins and Hurons. Some of the Indians were InguWttve, but mostly they accepted the premises and returned to their home south of the lake, and kept the peace for sonic years to come, In 1175 La Salle was required to rebuild the fort in stone, maintain a prrison equal to Montreal, form a settlement and build a church. A dark period came In New France, with Frontenac in trouble and recalled to Trance, owing to in- termit dissensions. An act of tr,aehery toward the Iroquois at Fort Trentenao led to vengeance in the maniere of Lachine in 1689, and the partial destruction of Fart Fron- tons* by the eominander, under threats from the Indians. Frontenac en his return late that year was furious, and on his orders the fort wu rebtelt and garrisoned. As the s+ruggie for Canada neared its crisis in the middle of the eigh- teenth century, Fort Frontenac took a new lease of lite. It became a prin- cipal point of departure for expedi- tions against Oswego, even the great Montana himself coming here in July, 1711. Oswego wu taken, with 1,100 prisoners, six war sloops and much spoil. But the tide was turn- ing. Col. Bradstreet was given a force et 3,000 from the greatly increased brttlsh forose, and left • the Lake Champlain country,. to take Fort Frontenee. When Breadstreet.set up hie guns on August 27, 1768, In an old entrenchment. in front of the present City Mall, 'De Noyan, though "brave u a .lion," bad no ,choice but to surrender.: Thus , the. fort fell to the British without .lois -of a single man. The British battered the walls with the Trench cannon, and then 'Stunted to Oswego: For the most Part Dort Fronton= was an idle ruin for the neat quarter-century, until the coming of the Loyalists in 1793. The new era had dawned. Governor 8lmcoe cam. to Kingston in 1792, and than, In a building in Queen street, still standing, organised the Arlt Gs'rernaent of Ontario, and laid out the counties before moving the Capital to Niagara. The War of 1812 found 'Kingston a place of feverish activity. Shlps•lor Lake Ontario were rushed to completion In the dock- yards close to the present Military College, and when. the war was over, and the ships had to be destroyed under the terms of the Rush-Bagot Treaty, they found a graveyard in "Deadman's Cove," a quiet back- water to the east of Fort Henry. Tho union of Upper and Lower Canada in 1841 found Kingston again the Capital, with the first Parliament of the Union meeting in the building now need as a getters' hospital. But three years atter the Capital was mored to Montreal. Kington was the boyhood home of Sir John A. Macdonald. Sir Oliver Mowat was a native.

Undergone a Swift Evolution In the Past Century. What-nots in the parlor, • four - posted beds, and beds with canopy tops, belong mostly to the museums to -day, but it Is not long :.ince our ancestors used them daily. Furniture seems to have undergone a swift evo- lution in the past century, since ma- chinery entered to change our lives and surroundings, Metal beds replace the old four-pos,tersi, end machines have displaced hands in the making of many articles of intimate use in the home. Soutotiutea the old fash- ions reappear, as in the form of the hureeu and table, to mention only two. It was only about the time of Charles II„ we learn from a new "Dictionary of Engllltli Furniture," that the drawer became a common feature of various types of furniture. Moreover, it carte in chletly through the gaming tables, which became popularized at that tihto, Though drawers were useful. for writing material, it was not ho much scholar- ship as the Nestor' for gambling which rade them popular. Cardinal Wolevy was a noted col- lector of carpets, but in his day carpets were far too precious to be walked upon, and were used chiefly no table covers and wall hangings. Through the Middle Ages, rushes, hay or straw, and sometimes flowers; and herbs, were strewn on the floors of houses and palaces, Extrava- gance in the use of sweet rushes was one of the offenses charged against Wolsey. This Priuco of the Church was charged with sinful pride and extravagance for his care in keeping the rushes clean, which throws some light on the housekeeping habits of his time. The chairman of a meeting gets his name from the position of auth- ority such an officer received in the 11I4ddle Ages. Movable chairs were exceedingly scarce, and one was reserved for the presiding officer as a symbol of authority. Benches, settles and forms were the ordinary seats In hall and chamber, and in hotnes the beda were often used to sit upon. Rules of Conversation. 1t has been said that in conversa- tion a speaker should not talk for longer than a quarter of a minute at .a time without pausing to give some- body else a chance to Interpose. Converaatipn may be reckoned as an art, a parttime or a game. If reck- oned as a game It Is a pity that the rules are not observed as they are in other games. Courtesy is often lacking from eon- versation, and people who would not be guilty of rudeness in other mat - ton: frequently forget their manners while talking. The laws that govern, or should govern. conversatlou, are, of .course, unwritten. But we all know them, and we like the people who keep them. To give the conversation a sudden wrench away from a subject which is interesting your companions la bad manners. But many people do this repeat- cdly, and quite light-heartedly, and seem never to care whether the con- clusion of any matter under discus- sion is reached or not, They will turn from the significant to the trivial in a way that is distinctly ir- ritating to those who wanted to hear the word that should clinch the argument, to say nothing of the cha- grin of the speaker who ineant to say that word. Talk should 'not be subjected to constant interruptions, It is not fair to get your friend launched on her Iife'o aims or her last love affair, and then nude her elbow to make her notice someone's hat or listen to a joke that you have just remembered. Mothers of small children and own- ers of pet dogs will cut shurt tho most enthralling revelations to de- ruancl a word of praize for their spoilt darlings, 1t may be pointed out that if we waited to let seine talkers finish wo should never get anything said at all, The only rule that meets thio case is never to let such people begin. How Innects Walk on Water. Ins;cets known as water nlraters, skippers or striders have the power - of travelling over the eurface of Water, just as freely as others have on laud. This they are .enabled to do because of the surface • film and because their feet are covered with n velvel.y substance which sloes not easily get wet. The surface of a liquid acts as if it were covered with an elra►tic filar like a thin rubber' inen;b.ano. If an ordinary sewing needle is carefully laid on the sur- face of water Ju a bast%t, the needle will float, notwithstanding the fact that the density of steel Is greater than that of water, The needle floats for the biluple rea,uon that it is not heavy enough to break the surface (elm.

A short piece of track was laid on the grounds of the 'Toronto Industrial Exhibition. The motor did not 'mote' to any extent owing to the dynamo used on the ear being a double armature one, with only one pole -piece to each arm- ature:" However, the car made trips over tho ahort line, The well-known engineer, Gran- ville C, Cunningham, in an article on "Canadian Electric Street Reways," wrote: "The first electric system that was put into puhlic eervlce in Canada was that constructed at St. Cath- arines, Ont., and opened In the aut- umn of 1887, The line was seven miles in length. The motor cors of the Van der Poell system were run on it, and the current was supplied on the double trolley. wire plan with an over -running trolley. The current flowed out on one wire, was conveyed from the trolley by wire connections down to the car '.motors, missed through them, up another wire to the trolley, and thence by a kecond over- head wire back to the power -house. This wan the only system of the dou- ble trolley wire used •in Canada, and was continued with fair success for some six or seven years.

In Fiji, which has just celebrated fifty years' of British rule, amid pub - Ile rejoicings, the art of feasting has, according to Sir Maynard Iledstroni, COnlInleolouer from Fiji, been brought to a more robust pitch than in any other country in the world. On the anniversary day nearly every village in the 250 islands of the Fijian group had its ceremonial feed, at which enormous quantities who have been making the event the chief topic of converaation for many months past. Hospitality and good -fellowship are inbornclutracteriatics of every native Fijian. They are characteristics that have been handed down to him from long lines of savage ancestors, who, when not engaged la fighting their enemies, delighted to entertain their friends to lavish repasts. In hie everyday eating the Fijian is frugal enough, but upon ceremon- ial occasions all his inherited traits come Into play, and ho organizes feasts upon a Gargantuan scale. In the centre Of the feast ground, upon a atructure of bamboo, often twenty feet high and as many yards long, the food is thickly piled. The delicacies are numerous and roman- tic; pip roasted whole, wild bird stuffed with spices, baked snakes, taro, yams, pineapple', and all the luecloua fruits of FIJI. About this edifice the guests group themselves. They sit on their haunches, gay in ruffles of dyed fea- thers and kilts of colored cloth. They maintain a rlgld and respectful sil- ence, but every brown face is turned upon the stack of food with an ex- pression of the keenest interest and pleaau re. To and fro about the stack move the masters of ceremony. They scan the food and the guests with era - lees eyes, for theirs is the difficult task of making a fair division. A tactless diatribution of the food may very easily cause serious offence or even lead to blows among the guesta. At a recent feast a huge shark, wrapped up like a mummy in palm leaves and baked whole, formed the supremo culinary achievement. The method of catching the mon- ster was spectacular In the extreme. From his canoe a valiant native las- soed the shark by the tail and then played it like a salmon, until, ex- hausted, it fell an easy victim to the spears of his friends. Britain's Underground Wealth. Although the undeveloped under- ground wealth of such countries as China and Brazil, as well as many of our own overseas possessions, le known to be enormous, there is no area In the world where such a wealth and variety of mineral and metal Iles within workable reach as in Britain. • It is estimated that up to 1924 the mineral matter .extracted from the United Kingdom amounts to the prodigious total 01 160 tons for every acre of its extent. This works out to twelve thousand million tone, a figure which the human ,mina 1. in- capable of grasping. But we are faced with the further fact that there IR no similar area in the world which has been more heav- ily and continuously worked, and this consideration has led many to regard Britain as a depleted country so far as mineral wealth is concerned.

[t WAS of such interest that Ha hun- dredth anniversary would have been noted in 1914 had not publio atten- tion then been concentrated upon the waging of the war. Among the diffictelties which had to be met when the steam. printing Picas was introduced was the objec- tion of employes to the innovation. That objection was not the molter,- tation of a feeling confined to men engaged In the printing trade. On the contrary, it was ono common In °rent Britain during tho period of • what has been called the industrial revolution. In that period was tak- ing place a great change in methods of production. Mechanical devices were being invented to perform tasks previously doue by human hands. The factory system was aupplanting the older system under which craftsmen supplied the market with goods made in their own homes. Such a change' „, was not accomplished without suffer - :ng due to the necessity for readjust- ment of economic and social condi- tins. That suffering caused opposi- tion to the introduction of machinery. Prior to the installation of the sew steam -driven printing preas, the Times was printed on hand presses, two of which, operated by four active men could turn out 260 four-page papers in an hour. The new steam press took the rate of printing from 250 to 1,100 copies an hour. Its chief feature was a large cylinder to give the impression from type place on a flat bed and it print- ed, thus, only one side of the sheet of paper at a time. The cylindrical principle had been Involved in schemes of William Nicholson (1758- 1816), but it was successfully ap- pled by Frederick Koenig, the eon of a farmer in Pruselan Saxony. "Our journal of this day," said the Times of November 29, 1814, "pre- sents to the public the practical result of tho greatest improvement connect- ed with printing since the discovery of the art itself. • A system of machin- ery, almost organic, has 'been de- vised which, while it relieves the human frame of its tnost laborious efforts in printing, far exceeds all human powers in Its rapidity and despatch:" Tha , press, spoken of with auch pride, war, awall and slow, indeed, compared with its successors of .the present day,,;Neyertheless, tt was the forerunner of the giant modern electrically driven; rotary Rresses. Moreover, the development of the modern presses has been ac- companied by development ;of won- derful machines for type setting and other improvements in mechanical appliances that make poetible the publication of the. great daily news- papers of the day. When the Koenig press first began to operate there were no trains to he caught .in order to distribute a newspaper, and, therefore, the Times ' says, "one of the most pressing ex- , igencies of modern days ItacPnot to bo coneidered.

The, farmer run in sizes ranging from 1,200 up to 20,000 capacity, and one has even reached a capacity of 40,000 egg's. Usually there large machines are sectional in eonstructiun, are heat- ed by hot water, and use one coal - burning stove fur the source of heat. L1 :one types gas or oil ie used, 'There are various distinctive features pecu- liar to the kittcl or snake of incubator in question. Mammoth machines are used practically only on the large poultry plants, or those making a specialty of hatching chicks in very large quantities. The so-called "small" incubators are made in sizes of from 30 to 800 -egg capacity, and are known as the hot- air or the hot-water type, referring to the manner in which the egg chamber receives its heat. The hot-water kinds depend upon the principle of radiation to distribute the heat, somewhat on the order of the hot-water heating systems in homes. A metal tank or pili' system, usually made of copper, i bola in fixed position into the in - r ulcvtcr and is filled with water heat- ed by a lamp attached to the machine. Tiii• heat radiates to the eggs on the tray in the egg chamber, keeping them at tho required temperature during the hatch. In the "hot-air" type there are some variations in the exact principle of heating. In some makes 'xarni air is introduced into the egg chamber and diffused over the eggs. In others, the heated air does not enter directly into the egg chamber but is confined first to a metal tank from which heat radiates to the eggs; and in still others there is a combination of both. I(I'AI' AMA KERS' CLAIMS. '1'11e advantages claimed by each ►ima:nlfactoreer are carefully described in their catalogues, and it is advisable to closely study the literature sent out in order to make an intelligent choice. The source of heat is commonly an cil- burning lamp, although some electric incubators are on the market that are giving satisfaction when used accord- ing to the manufacturers' directions. Now as to size: Two 150 -egg ca- pacity machines are preferred to one 300 -egg size,. unless the larger One can be filled with eggs not more than a week old at the time of placing them in the machine. The fresher the eggs, the more even and satisfactory %,rill be the hatch. ;Where to put the incubator is next in importance. A well -ventilated cel- lar or basement where the temper- ature stays from 60 deg. to 60 deg. F., is an ideal place. Somo cellars are poorly ventilated. They aro too deep In the ground and consequently are likely to be too damp; others may be too dry. After the machine is set level, so there will bo no high or low spots, the adjusting nut on the regulator should be screwed down to guard against overheating at the start. Too many operators make the mistake of turning the adjusting nut up or down if there is a slight variation in temp- erature, Successful operators never touch the regulator, but if the temp- erature is too high or too low, they endeavor to correct it by turning the wick up or down, in the case of lamp. heated incubators, or making corres- ponding changes in the amount of fire, where, other kinds of heat are em- ployed. NEW WICK FOR EACH HATCH. A new wick should be used for each hatch, on lamp -heated incubators, and the oil reservoir should be filled daily (preferably. in the afternoon) so as to have enough oil to loot until morn- ing. The lamp bowl, however, should not bo filled full, as expansion of the oil when warmed will make the bowl overflow. All lamp fixtures should be wiped clean and dry every day. Begin with a medium-size fire or lamp flame, and make adjustments 'with such. The .heat control can then be more easily handled from start to finish. After running the incubator for about 24 hours after all necessary ad- fustmonts have been made, it ie ready tor the eggs. When the eggs are put in, the temperature will drop .1111d ROI return to the prescribed heat for sev- eral hours while the eggs are warm- ing up. To adjust the regulator at this time to hurry up the heat would he a serious mistake; don't do it If you want to g1et a good hatch, THE. CRITICAL TIME. The first week of the hatch is the most critical in the whole process, and greater care mutt be given than lit any other time. There is no enuse for alarm if the tempettature should vary a degree, or even two, either way, from time to tante If the average temperature is maintained the results will be the same as though the ther- mometer showed no variation what, ever. Some operators prefer slight variations. Tho thermometer placed on or near an infertile or dead -germ egg will not give correct registration. Therefore, eggs must be tested twice during the hatch to remove all that do not have a live chick embryo. The amount of moisture required during incubation is a difference of opinion. Successful hatches have been made without the addition of mois- ture, under certain conditions; again, seine machines require more moisture' than others. But it is safe to say more poor hatches are the result of not enough moisture than from too much. HOW TO SUPPLY MOISTURE. A' good way, and at the same time an easy way, to supply moisture is to keep tho floor of the incubator room we':i sprinkled, thus allowing the air to become more moist before it enters the egg chamber. Another way is to set pails or pans of water near the machine. Some operators sprinkle the eggs with warm water, and others place a shallow pan of water in the incubator beneath the egg trey. The necessity for moisture is not to add water to the eggs, but to prevent too rapid evaporation of their normal water content. After the first ten days the eggs should not normally dry down so that the air-cell in the large end of the egg is larger than the size of a silver quarter -dollar. This may bo determined by testing the eggs. TURNING THE EGGS. Up until the third or fourth day the door of the machine should not be opened. But from then on up until the eighteenth day the eggs should be turned at least twice daily, The length of time in cooling depends upon the temperature of the room, and the condition and the advance the eggs have made in incubation. All this and other important advice is given in the instructions sent out by the manufacturers. The growing chick inside the shell requires much less fresh air during the first half of incubation than it does the Last half, After the tenth day the amount of ventilation can be increased gradually, but quite rapidly, until it is time for the hatch to be taken out of the incubator. Chicks should not be removed from the incubator until the hatch is com- pleted and the last -hatched chicks are dry. Up to then the door must not be opened. Research in Applied Science.

Unlike other species of the feathered tribe, they are ever faithful to each other, Infidels ity with them is virtuaNy unknown; they are models of propriety and faithful to their nest and young. That is the rule, and the exceptions are very few considering the thousands of pairs mated in a largo plant, From time immemorial, the pigeon has been classed as the emblem of Innocence, Of all the feathered race, it is the most gentle and affectionate. Tho devotion and affection shown by mated pairs is something that can not. be adequately described The watch-) fulness and care the birds display over their young the moment they are; hatched, tiny, helpless things, is some- thing wonderful. So great is their, love and care for their young, that should one of them die at an early age and not be removed, the parents will continue hovering the dead one,1 even until it becomes Offensive, When pigeons are "married" they' not only remain as true as steel, hut they divide labor, : are;• ever in each other's company,. are not attracted by "new faces," do not bother about their neighbor's business, and are always busy at their own work. The male bird carries the stems of hay, or whatever material he can gather, to the nest, and the hen ar- ranges it in order, The older a male pigeon grows the more fatherly he be -1 comes,. There is in fowls no affections so near the human being in its finer, nature as that of pigeons. Owing to: this intense affection, more birds are grieved to death by isolation than die' from disease. Should two young cocks be in love with the same hen, the jealousy be- comes so intense that a deadly fight is the result.. They fight with their beaks and wings -catching hold of than skin of the head with their beaks and striking each other vigorously with their strong wings. Once in a greet While a. pigeon may tire of his mate and seek -another, hut then he courts trouble. The compan- ion of the bird he covets at once makes a vigorous protest. If this does not conquer the intruder, he is often at- tacked ,by the entire male element in the loft, and either driven from hie home • or kit?ed. The male selects the nest and then endeavors to'persuade his mate to join, him. Should she refuse he drives and scolds her, every now and then hit- ting her with his bill. ISSUE No. 9—'25.

YOUR FRIENDLY KITCHEN 111' CLEMENTINE PADDLEFORD, llavo you ever clean a kitchen smile? Sometimes they do, I have been in kitchens that beamed with friendliness. And all the credit for their cheeriness didn't belong to scouring powders and soapsuds. Cleanliness w8H only a part of their charm; color did the rest. Decoration for the kitehen? Why not? Farm woolen !pend on the aver - rage of six hours n day in this room of the stove and the sick ---about ninety -ono days of the year. 'That's reason enough why the kitchen should be pleasant to the eyes as well as to buck and feet. Teta world's hest cooks lt:tve conte Out of colorful kitchens, Swedish kit- chens are a riot of brightness with their painted walls and chairs and rows of decorated plates. In holland the blue and white tiles of the kitchen dance with the reflection! of copper pots mid pans. Our own ancestors be- lieved in kitchen 'beauty. Early Col- onial kitchens were of a friendly sort, their wide hearth tires, sending slim bright shndowt across the brass and pewter, created a sunshine of their own, Kitchens aren't like that to -day. Kitchens have advanced, They have become scientific laboratories for pre- paring men's with the least possible effort, But somehow, in our eager- ness to eliminate steps and stoops, we have forgotten that this most humble roost of the home may contain the greatest charm. Winter is the kitchen's gloomiest time. It SCORN to turn down the corn- ers of its mouth and scowl --a dull, bored scowl that is reflected in the dish water and the soup; that, is trans- mitted into the dining -room and the living -room.

One doesn't get tho housecleaning fever till the first fly buzzes in. Maybe, too, this is the year when you aro' going to economize on new househol(1' expenses. You will start on the kit-� then. One always does, 'There Is to be 110 new paint 'and no new curtains —lt dreary outlook, 'fake a tip from fifty years ago and buy oilcloth. Yes, just the ordinary kind like Maher, and Grandmother before her, used on the kitchen table. We have used percale, calico, pon- gee, gingham, muslin, nets, scrim, and cheesecloth; we have advanced from ginghams to chintz, frogotting oilcloth, the cheapest, most durable, kitchen ninteriall of them all. In color it :is diverting, permanent, even in sunlight. This spring the new colors in blue, apple -green, rose, battleahip- gray, and gold ase to be had In the inexpensive oilcloths, as well as in the more expensive damasks with their felt -lined backs. Let's do your kitchen over, First choose a color scheme, Some people just naturally think in the conven- tional terns of dark brown and dull tan as a universal Accompaniment to the gentle art of cooking. Let's choose something gay for your kitchen, yet something' that c'ontr'asts pleasantly with the walls and woodwork. Buy a few yards of oilcloth with the egg money; you can get it at any cross- roads general store. Dehorning Cattle. The best time to dehorn is when the calf is but a few days old, A slight scraping of the button with 8 knife until the blood oozes, then the applica- tioa of a little caustic potash, first being careful to rub a bit of vaseline around the baso of the horn to pre- vent burning the flesh, will du the trick. This simple, humane, practical way is good only on small calves. When it comes to older animals saw- ing or clipping ori the horns must he resorted to. Cattle feeders frequently buy horn- ed cattle because of price attraction. Almost always it will pay to dehorn such animals, especially calves or yearlings, When one is properly equipped the job is not difficult, A good dehorning chute is the first and prime requisite. Our chute stands at the end of a narrow passage which opens off of the assorting pens. It is built of two-inch oak and is V-shaped. The bottom of the chute is eighteen inches wide, flaring to three feet at the top. It is six feet long and six high. At the front end are two pieces of two - by -six-inch oak which pivot At the bottom on bolts, one bolt through each piece. At the top of these pieces is a half-inch rope tied securely to one piece and running through a pulley which is fnstened to the top of the other. She's these pieces work freely on the bolts below they may be ad- justed to accommodate the size of the animal. When driven into the chute the ani- mal sticks its head through the open- ing between these pieces, an attendant pulls the rope and the pieces conte together, holding the animal securely. In front of the chute projects a swing- ing table; another' rope working through a pulley conies up loop fash- ion through this table from beneath.; This rope is placed over the head back of the ears 911(1 11 1)011 011 this rope + draws the head down on the table i and holds It there while the horns are • being removed, We find shears faster than the saw, and,,, quite satisfactory, although a greater flow of blood follows due to the method of severing' the veins, Im- mediately the horns aro sheared off we insert a toothpick into the larger veins to the depth. of a quarter to a half inch, breaking off .the pick, . A bit of oakum is then stuffed in the horn cavity and the animal released. The entire operation Is accomplished within two or three minutes, - In warm weather or when flies are apt to bottler we smear phie tar thin. ned with turpentine around the base of the here before the horn is remov- ed. ' Some folks apply the tar after the'horn is removed. 'This is not good practice, because the blood under the tar'provents the tar from penetrating through the hair down to the skin, where the fly deposits her eggs; hence tar thus applied is not so effective as when thinned and applied so that it will penetrate, however, it is hest to avoid dehorning in warm weather when flies are apt to bother and rause a lot of trouble, Lute fa:'1 or early spring is the best time.
