It generally realized that horns

'that both. feeding and dairy cattle
are improved by dehorniug, in that
they 'are prevented to a great extent
thereafter from causing each other
jnjury. Dehorned cattle also mingle
together more quietly aud annoy and

tage of dehorning is that in shipping

lessened and, eonsequently reduces
Use waste incidental to the removal

much greater than ie generally rea-

known to incur a wastage in some
slaipmenta of about one per cent. of
the dressed carcasses, incidental to
the trimming and removal of the
bruised parts.

Caustic Potash Treatment for Calves.
The development of horn growth
tem be effectively prevented in calves
by the use of caustics applied to the
"horn buttons or nubbins" soon after
birth. To be successful the oper-
ation should be done when the calf
le two or three days otd and, at
least, before it is a week old. Before
applying the caustic It is beat to
slip the bair from around the little
"horn buttons.' on the head. The
little "horu button" are then mois-
tened slightly and rubbed thoroughly
for a few seconds with either caustic
potash or caustic soda. After a short
time has been allowed for the caus-
tic to dry, a second application is
given as before. The caustic can be
obtained in small white sticks, about
the size of a pencil, and one end
should be wrapped In paper or cloth
to protect the angers while applying
it. Two or three applicationa of the
gametic, properly done, are eufacient
to destroy and prevent the horns from
ever developing. The akin around
the treated [mots should be smeared
with a little vaseline, and the calf
should be protected from ram for a
day or more after treatment. This
fo to prevent the caustic being washed
off the treated spots and spreading
to the surrounding akin and into the
eyes.
Cutting With Knives.
When caivea are allowed to go
*without treatment until they are sev-
eral weeks old, and the "horn but-
• tons" have developed into projecting
knobs, th.e caustic treatment is not
• sufficient to entirely destroy growth,
and may permit an Irregular growth
of horn to develop. At this age, the
• beat method la to remove the pro-
jecting horn knobs by cutting them
off at their base, close up to the
bead, with a sharp knife or with a
pair of calf dehorners. In the case
of male calves intended to be kept
se bulla, many prefer to defer the
dehorning operation until about the
• age of two or three years, or at a
time when the horns are almost fully
developed. The deferring of the
operation to this time in the case of
bulls generally makes them still more
• erectable than if deprived of their
horns while young. In the case of
• steers and heifers not deprived of
their horn e while calvea, they should
be dehorned before they reach the
ago of three yeara. In dehorning
• grown animals, it is essential that
they are properly secured and re-
strained for the operation. For this
purpose the animal to be dehorned
• should be securely fastened in a rack
or chute or a solidestanchion. Once
the animal le securely fastened, the
home should be removed with as
tittle bungling as possible.
Using Saws or Strong Shears.
For removing the horns, either a
• sharp meat saw or a pair of Key-
• stone dehorning shears may be used.
• The dehorning shears are most com-
monly used, nevertheless the saw is
quite satisfactory and serviceable for
small numbers. The main feature is
to do the operation as quickly as
• possible and to remove the horn close
up to the head, about half an inch
belovrethe hair line, thus removii&
that mueh of the akin with the horn.
• If this is not done there is a likeli-
hood of a secondary growth of irre-
gular ham taking place, forming
• projecting horn stubs which are un-
desirable and spoil the animal'e
appearance. After the horns are re-
• moved, no further treatment is, as a
rule, required, unless there is severe
• bleeding. In cases of severe bleed-
• ing, the core can Isa ameared with
ten and the opening packed with a
piece of alesarbent cotton, or with a
piece of Glean cheese cloth. This
'dressing eau be allowed to remain fof
• a day and then removed and the
_ parts washed oft with antiseptic solu-
tion, auch as a two per cent. solu-
'tlon of creolin or lyool. With regaled

A big good natured Irishman from
up country visited a so called "Pain-

troublesome molar extracted. The
dentist seeing the size of his patient,
and suspecting that he was liable to
create trouble if the operation wasn't
entirely painless said to his office boy,
"Jimmy, go and get a large sized hat
pin, and stand behind the operatiug
chair. As soon as the patient gets
into position I'll wink and you jab the
pin through the seat of the chair."
When the dentist was ready, he gave
the signal to the boy, and with a yell
the big Irishman sprang from the den-
tal chair:
"Weill" said the dentist, "That
didn't hurt much? eh!"
"No," said the Irishman, "but Oi

U.F.O. Executive Meets, -- The
U.F.O. executive in the riding of
South Huron met here on Saturday to
select a date for their nominating
convention, and decided on Thursday,
May 31st, and the convention will be
held in this village. Members of the,
executive were careful to point out
that they were not passing judgment
on Mr. Hicks' record or his recent
break with Premier Drury. But they
admitted it was also possible that
someone beside Mr. Hicks might
be chosen to run for the Farmers in
this riding, But the executive does
not agree with the "broadening out"
policy, and passed the following reso-
lution: "Whereas a crisis has arisen
in the political activities of the prov-
ince that calls for definite and decis-
ive action on the part of this conven-
tion in selecting a candidate to repre-
sent the riding in the Legislature; and
whereas we, the delegates here as:
sembled believe coalition or fusion
with either of the two parties that
have dominated the political life of
the province would eventually mean
the loss of identity of the U.F.O.
group:
Therefore be it resolved that this
convention require its candidate first
to endorse the policy and principles
laid down by the platform of the
U.F.0.• second, that he agree to sup-
port the group that represents the
United Farmers in the Legislature,
and that he consistently maintain the
identity of the U.F.O. group by non-
support of coalition or fusion with
either the Liberal or the Conserva-
tive party."
