HORN ALL.

HUM Allie
Taking up the diseases of cattle, Prof.
Cressy remarked that from time immemo-
rial almost all the diseases which bovine
animals are subject to have been ascribed
to horn ALL This is an imaginary dis
ease. The lecturer exhibited horn with
II portion of the skull attached. This was
taken from creature he had known from
Il calf, slaughtered ut two and half years
old, which never was sick day in its life.
He had shown this specimen in many
places, and the believers in horn nil would
at once say that it was an excellent speci-
men Of that disease. In this specimen
the horny envelope, or powder horn, had
been removed, leaving the bone, which
was sawn lengthwise, exhibitinga hollow
at the base, extending up two thirds of its
length.
This bone, commonly called the "pith :"
of the horn, is an oif-shoot from the 'front.'
al bone, is protected by the dermal cnvel-
ope or powder horn " which covers the
bony portion.
The hollow in the bone extends down
into the frontal bone of the skull, and is
simply an air cavity which extends from
the nostrils up through the head and into
the horns. 1t is possible that insects may,
and they sometimes do, pass through the
nose into the sinuses in the skull, and they
may even pass up into the cavity in the
horn.
The horn is kept warm by the blood
passing around it in n set of blood vessels
lying between the dermal or horny layer
and the bone and covering TIE latter, us
may be seen where the horn has been
slipped off. When the animal is young
and growing rapidly, plenty of healthy
blood flows to the horn rs 10 the other eX-
tremitics and the horn is warm. As the
animal grows older and the horn has more
surface it becomes cooler, because COM
paratively less blood circulates there. In
the process of growth portion ofthe cen
ter of the bone becomes absorbed, leaving
IL cavity. Into this the cold air from the
nostrils passes, helping TO cool the horn.
The older the animal the larger will be the
hollow in the bone and the colder will be
the horn. Ignorant of these facts, many u
farmer, when his COW is sick from any
cause, first feels Of the horns to see if they
are cold. If they are found so, they are
assumed to be hollow, in consequence of
disease; and the next thing is to bore the
horn and put in vinegar and pepper and
salt, and what not, to cure Il disease which
does not exist; even now half the farmers
in New England will deride us Il scientific
new tangled notion" the statement that
there is no such disease Il horn.ail "
But the hollow horn is IL natural and phys
biological condition of the COW, and the
difference in structure forms II well known
basis of classification.
The ruminants, or cud chewing animals
are divided into two classes-the solid and
the hollow horns. Of the first class the
deer is an example; of the second our do
nestle cattle are an'illuslration.
In cattle having short horns the hollow
is smaller than in those with long horns;
bulls have more solid horn than COWS.
Animals having pastures poor in phos-

We give below an extract from IN arti-
C on breeding, from MIR. Harden of Ken

mer and which seems to put the matter
cfgradcs and crossing in about the right
light
If we can accomplish anything by
grades here is our best chance. Select a
Jersey bull, the larger and eoarser the
better. See that his dam has produced
heifer calves that have matured into
large mixers (from the same sire if pos
sible). 1t will be all the better if the
bulls sire is out of II good milch cow who
has reproduced her good qualities. There
is something strange about this, a thor
oughbred is really Of no greater value than
scrub, except that she is able to repro
duce herself, and yet the boosted scale of
points entirely overlook this quality.
have purchased the offspring of colebrat-
ed COWS, and after being disappointed in
the result, have discovered that this celc-
brated COW never did produce II respect
able offspring, The COW Of good pcdi-
gree that can come into the ring with
three of her daughters and one grand
daughter, all showing signs of being
heavy mi kcrs, should take the premium.
Having selected The bull, rs described,
cross him with the largest milking native
COWS you have. If the bull comes from IL
strain of heavy mixers he will not mate
rally cut down the yield in his offspring,
while his power to enrich the milk is 50
strong, and the natives prepo9ncy so
weak, in the majority of cases the milk of
the offspring will be nearly as rich us the
milk of Il thoroughbred 1t is this fact

One characteristic April feature, and
one that delights me very much, is the per-
feet emerald of the spring runs while the
fields are yet brown and sere, strips and
patches of the most vivid velvet green on
the slopes and in the valleys. How the
eye grazes there and is filled and refreshed !!
l had forgotten what Il marked feature
this was until recently rode in an open
wagon for three days through mountain
Gus, pastoral country, remarkable for its
fine springs. Those delicious green patches
are yet in my eye. The fountains flowed
with May. Where no springs occurred
there were hints and suggestions ofsprings
about the fields and by the roadside in
the freshened grass-sometimes overflow
ing space in the form of an actual foun-
tain. Ehe water did not quite get to the
surface in such places, but sent its influence.

APRIL RACTERIsTGCS.- April, ut It's
best, is the tenderest of tender salads. Its
type is the first spear of grass. The senses
Sight, hearing, smelI-are rs hungry Tor
its delicate and almost spiritual tokens, as
the cattle are for the first bite of its fields.
How it touches one and makes him both
olad and sad! The voices of the arriving
birds, the migrating fowls, the clouds OF
pigeons sweeping across the sky or ming
the woods, the elfin horn of the first honey
bee venUuring abroad in the middle of the
day, the clear piping of the little frogs in
the marshes ut shutdown, the campfire IN
the sugar-bush, the smoke seen afar rising
over the trees, the tinge of green TINT
comes so suddenly on the sunny knobs and
slopes, the full translucent streams, the
waxing and warming sun,-how these
things and others like them are noted by
the eager eye and earl April is my natal
month, and am born again into new de-
lights and new surprises at each return OF
it, Its name has an indescribable charm to
me. Its two syllables are like the calls of
the first birds-lke that of the Phmbe-bird
or of the meadow-lark. Its very SHOWS
are lertlizing, and are called the poor
mans manure.
Then its odors | am thrilled by its
fresh and Undesirable odors-the perfume
of the bursting sod, of the quickened roots
and rootlets, of the mold under the leaves,
of the fresh burrows. No other month has
odors like it, The west wind the other
day came fraught with perfume that was
to the sense of smell what wild and deli
cate strain of music is to the ear. 1t was
almost transcendental. | walked across

cumulated breath of innumerable farms
and budding forests? The main character
istc of these April odors is their uncloyng
freshness. They are not sweet, they are
oftener bitter, they are penetrating and

Horses with long or big toe arc more
