HOrnlosS Cattle.

In an article on the subject OF horn
less cattle, the Prairie Farmer gives the
following method of removing horns
from calves: When calf of a horned
breed is q few days old, little Jumps will
be found on the head, Indicating the
spots where the horns will grow, If not
prevented by the prompt removal of the
little buttons of incipient horn, living
loose beneath the skin. To remove
them, two small Sits, crossing at right
angles, are made with q sharp knife.
The buttons can them be easily lifted
out, the slight wound closed with a bit
OF sticking plaster, and the work is done.
Some prefer to scar the spot where the
horns are to be, using q very hot iron,
that the operation may be more quickly
and efeotually done. One or two
shakes of the head express the calls dis
approval of the fashions of the world
which are yet quite new to the young
ster, and that seems to be the last of
suffering on account of the horns of that
animal. As there is no way in use for
determining the exact extent of the suf-
fering of any animal from an injury. one
must decide for himself whether or not
the pain attending this operation on
young calves is equal to the suffering
their horns would inflict upon other an
imals, if those dangerous and useless
weapons were permitted to grow. As
to the economy of the operation, there
will be no doubt in the minds Of those
who have lost valuable animals, OF much
feed, patience or profit, throug Oh the ex-
istence of horns on mischievous or vi
oious brutes.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOME.

The Folly Of Clearing Forests.
A French forestry journal says that
thlrty years ago the Khanati
district of Bacharis was one of the most
fertile regions of Central Asia. Il was
we'll wooded and splendidly watered.
About twenty-five years ago q mania for
clearing away the forest seized upon tho
people. and now all the great forests
have been cut away, and the little that
remained was ravaged by fire during q
civil war. The consequences were not
long in following, and have transformed
this country into q kind of arid desert.
Inc water courses are dried up and the
Hrlgating canals empty. The moving
sands Of the desert, being no longer re-
strained by barriers of forest, are every
day gaining upon the land, and will
finish by Transforming it into desert as
desolate as the solitudes that separate
it from Khiva. Have Americans be-
gun the agitation of the forestry ques-
ton any too soon?

How Cotton Burns.

IRON the American (da.) Recorder.
"Um, yum, smell burnt cotton, :"
said q cotton buyer in front of Toole,
McGarren & Tenders warehouse, sew
eral days ago.
Here it u.s." said another buy er, pick
ing up handful of scorched cotton
which was lying on the ground.
"There is no fire in it, though" he added,
carelessly.
"How fast will cotton burn?" asked a
Recorder man, who was standing by.
1T will burn faster than anything I
know Of" said the buyer, as he turned the
staple around in his hand and examined
it. "Just to show you here" and he
picked up handful of the clean cotton
and handed it to the reporter. "Now,
wad that up tight and put your cigar to
it, then fold it up and put your hands
over it,"
The reporter did so. The moment
the cigar was applied the cotton caught,
and the fire began to sink down like q
drill into the handful. he closed his
hands over it, and III short time it be-
came so hot that he was unable to hold
it. Picking up another handful, he
wrapped it around the fire, and, holding
it tight in both hands, succeeded in
crushing out the fire as he thought.
When it was again opened, however, it
began to burn as hard as ever.
1T is mostimpossible to put the fire
out when once it catches the cotton.
The closer a bale is packed the faster
will it burn. It doesn't spread out like
anything else, but burns directly to the
center, and consumes the inside of the
bale first. I remember once in Savan-
nah on the wharf, when I was billing
some compressed bales, that all at once
q boy yelled at me, and looking around,
I saw bale I had just passed foil to
pieces aud flames begin to come from
it. By good luck the fire got no fur
Their. That bale, probably, had been
burning a couple of days. Ginhouses
are often burnt up by the pickers smok-
ing in the field, and letting a spark
drop into a cotton basket. 1t is
dumped into the wagon and then into
the ginhouse, and does not get fairly
started before night, and before any one
knows it the house is on fire and burned.
big fires in warehouses" he contin.
ned, "are often caused by careless driv-
ers, who smoke Is they drive the cotton
to town. The tiniest kind of q spark
will sink into q bale, and, if not discov-
cred, will burn thousands of dollars
worth OF cotton. That is why buyers
always carry as much insurance as they
can get. There is no telling when q
big fire is going to occur"

Whom to Sell RuffAY.

The National Live Stock Journal ad-
vises farmers that the best time to sell
butter or cheese, and indeed all farm
produce, is the earliest date at which it
can be got in condition for market.
Whoever holds butter or other perish
able goods, holds them at risk. But
ter depreciates from the moment it is
made to the moment it is con-
sumed. and is always liable to fluct.
uations in price, which are as often
against the holder as in his favor. and
he is always losing the interest on it's
value as long as he holds it. Holding
Tor higher price is one form of epecula-
ton business farmer has no occasion
to indulge in. It is true, rise in prop
erty may sometimes be foreseen, making
it pretty safe to hold for a time, but
when q dairyman would not think it
wise or safe to buy butter or cheese to
hold it for better price, he had better
not hold his own butter or cheese. The
fact that it turns out that he might
sometimes have done better by holding
than by selling, when his goods are first
ready for market, is not sufficient rea-
son for his holding at another time. for
he chances will as often be against him
as for him, and, whichever way it is, he
must always endure the losses from in
jury, shrinkage, lessened value, waste
and use OF capital. Therefore, as rule,
we say it is most prudent to sell always
when products are ready for market,
and most especially 80 with butter,
which is ever suffering from decline in
quality.

S'Consumption In the Family.v

There is no more common observation
thai that consumption runs in q
family" or in side Of a family. Some
other features of the disease in this
direction have been also noted, but the
significance of them has been disputed.
DR.. Bush, in his treatise, says the disease
was unknown among the American
Indians; it was not among their legends
and traditions until q comparatively
recent period. Now they die as freely
as the whites. There is an interesting
fact of peculiar significance to be here
noted, namely, the incubation, some
years ago, by three Greek physicians, of q
man with this disease, a rare opportunity
presenting itself to them for the purpose.
The man was doomed to die, and they
iDoculated him with the sputum from
diseased lungs. Great care was taken
to eliminate all sources of doubt. There
was no history of family susceptibility.
About the third week after the inocula-
ton the signs of consumption began to
manifest themselves in his body; and,
at the post.mortem examination, tuber-
cles were found in the apex of each lung,
and some on the free surface of the
liver.

quire: and, indeed, all those classes of

the best save-waste for them. Even
the refuse of potatoes or any other vepe-
tables will, with little bran meal, sat-
isfy duck, which it thankfully accepts,
and, with q degree of good nature
which it is pleasant to contemplate,
swallows whatever is presented to it,
and very rarely occasions trouble.

be added that ducks should not be
