The Horns Must 60.

For years We have been harping
upon the necessity of breeding the
horns off of dairy cattle. The me-
cessity for such a movement is ad.
mitted by almost every one engag-
ed in the business. The insupcra-
bic obstacle is the impracticability
OF admitting outside blood into the
herds Of thoroughbred cattle for
this purpose, because in securing
one virtue all the others may be
lost; but, at the same time We
know how easy it is to change the
external features of any breed by
judicious selection. This idea,
faithfully pursued for few gener-
atoms, would eliminate the horns
from even Texas cows, much more
such a breed as the Jerseys, whose
horns, as a breed, are already in a
dilapidated condition. They grow
in all directions, and are soft and
easily broken, so that many OF
them are now disfgured by what
remains. All that Is necessary to
finish the job is for the fashion to
SCI strongly in that direction. and
in few years even the present
stubs would disappear. So far as
looks are concerned, muley COW
is certainly better looking than a
COW with one horn, or two stubs, or
one growing for ward and the other
backward, as is now the case with
many specimens in every herd. If
our breeders took as much care OF
the horns as the breeders do on the
Island Of Jersey, there would be
some sense in retaining them; but,
as it is, Tie sooner they are bred
off entirely the better it will be,
not only Tor the comfort of the
weaker members of the herd, but
for the looks of the aged animals
as well. Who will be the first to
advertise registered polled Jerseysi
Other breeds could profit by such
an example.-American Ddirymdn.

Care Of the Hands In Cold Weather.

The hands are prone to become
rough and chapped in could
and changeable weather. 1t the
water is hard it is almost
impossible to prevent the crack
ing of the skin, but a little
bOrax mixed with the water will
soften it and prove beneficial. The
skin of many persons is 80 thin and
sensitive that it cannot bear the
alkali OF soap, and in such cases
almond bran, which can be pro.
cured at the druggists, will be
found agreeable. The hands should
