Dshornlng Cattle

Last Spring John Lester dehorned S3 head of yearlings, and the same week drove them off to the herd along with 200 other cattle of various ages, Last week he wen. up and drove his herd back to his iarm Tn Galva town ship, and as we passed there the oth- CT day our attention was called to so many "maleys," and upon inquiry learned the facts already related. His process oi dehorning was simple and brief. Each animal was placed in a swing, with his head m stanchoin, and with fine meat saw Mir. Lester sawed the horns off close up lU the head, taking off about ihree, iourths or an inch oi skin. Nothing in the way of lininens or grease was put on the wound, but the animal turned loose as quickly as possible and an other served likewise, until the whole 83 were made hornless. These young cattle came back from their su uamer's pasture in excellent shape, even bet ter than those which were allowed to keep their horns, and Mr. Lester says they will certainly winter better, as they will not be constantly hooking one another. There is not a sign of a horn on them now, and they resem ble muleys in every respect.-ldd County Iowa) Pioneer.

The many friends of DIR. Hender.
sou sincerely sympathize with him in
the death of his wife, Mrs. Ada Hem
derson, who died last Monday morning
of cancer. She suffered patiently for
many months, and for two or three
months past the Doctor gave her his
whole time, giving up his extensive
practice to be at her bedside, where
he faithfully ministered to her wants
day and night, when great part of
the time he was so i'll himself that he
could hardly move around. She was
a;true Christian and expressed herself
as being ready and willing to die,
She leaves two daughters and little
son besides her husband to mourn
their irreparable loss.

Consult Real Estate Agents.

In making purchases of real estate
the buyer will usually find it to his
advantage to make his purchase thro'
a reliable real estate agency. Men
engaged in handling real estate are
we'll acquainted with the values Of
such property and cannot afford to
undertake to make sales above the
market price. Besides, if there are
any real bargains in their neighhor-
hood, they know of them and usually
have them on their books. As II rule
men do not put their lands in the
hands of agents to sell until they,
for some reason, are quite anxious to
sell. Being thus anxious, they put
them on the market at price they
think will attract buyers, and, t" this
end, consult their agents as to what,
in his judgment, such lands can he
readily sold for. The agent, heing
human. tries to fix price such as
will enable him to say to purchasers:
"Here is a piece of land | can sell you
at a bargain" and give the reasons
why it is offered so Inv. In this way
he gathers in and can show a purchas>
er at once all the really good bargains
in his neighbOrhood. In word, by
dealing with reliable real estate agen>
cies, the purchaser is brought face to
face with every one of that section
having bargains to offer Of course,
any one will sell his land if he can
get his price; but there is vast diff
ference in the price of the land of one
who feels he must sell compared with
that of one who is unwilling to sell
unless he makes good profit on what
he has invested
Besides, in this way one has his pa
pers more carefully drawn and the
condition of his title much more in>
dustriously loOkNd after, both matters
the importance of which cannot be
overlooked.
As tOswhether or not any given
agency is reliable can he readily as
certained by anyone, even stranger
Their general reputation for fair deal
ing will suf: :cientlv answer thatques'
