DEhORNING CATTLE.
The Arguments Advanced In Its Favor b.
Stock IsaIsers.

Stock kaisers.
The practice of dehorning cattle is
rapidly increasing not only in the West,
but in some sections of the Eastern and
Middle States. The chief objection
urged against dehorning has been tho
cruelty Of the operation; lesser one
is that it detracts from the appearance
of the animal. The second objection
remains, but the great majority of those
who have practiced dehorning contend
that it is no more painful, if as painful,
as other operations generally prao-
ticed. However this may be. it is fair.
ly safe to conclude that dehorning,
carefully performed. is not a dangerous
operation. The arguments advanced
in favor of dehorning cattle are: First,
the prevention of terrible accidents in
handling vicious cattle, especially bulls;
second. that the dehorned cattle can
be turned loose in sheds and stalls
without fear of their injuring each
other. even II they are more or less
crowded. The subject has received
conside rable attention this season at
the farmers institutes and clubs. and
If reports of these meetings may be
relied upon the farmers and breeders
who haye experimented in dehorning
their cattle almost with one accord fa-
vor the practice. From these and other
sources 1t appears that the preferred
age ut which to dehorn is in tho second
year OF the animals life, and spring is
the SO ason favored. The operation, it
Is averrrd, Is more successful In mod
crate weather, than in either extremes
of heat or cold. Preparatory to the
operation the animals head is made
fast; then the horns are sawed off with
q suitable saw close to th0hair, whore
aoft place occurs in the horns. -Inli.

THE BLUE SHARK.
How the Monster Ia Caught and Rendered
Harmless.

How the Monster Is Caught and Rendered
Harmless.
Toward midsummer the fishermen
ON the Cornish coasts often find their
nets and lines attacked by the blue
shark. 1t follows the pilchards and
herrings and frequently bites out the
part of the net in which the fish are
entangled. When the bait on line
has been swallowed and the fish has
failed to bite the line through, it often
rolls tho rope round its body until it
reaches the surface, coming up in this
way from depth Of thirty to forty
fathoms. Its appetite shows varied
taste. The stomach of one fish six
feet long was found to contain large
piked dogfish, a conger eel and a gray
gurnard. Another was hungry enough
to take the bait, though its stomach
contained four mackerel, half garfish
and a quantity of herrings, which the
fishermen. finding uninjured, afterward
sold for eighteen pence. On one occa-
sion blue shark leaped q considerable
distance out of the water to seize
a piece of beef hanging on the quar-
ter of ship. and it is we'll known to
attack man; but as it rarely enters har-
bors or approaches close to the land.
its human victims are few. Fishermen
assert that its sense of smell is offended
by the nauseous odors, so that it may
be driven away by pouring bilgewater
into the sea where it shows itself. The
Muscular vitality of these fishes is as
remarkable as that Of reptiles and
amphibians, for in one recorded in
stance after u shark had been caught
and the body severed from the head
and thrown overheard. it continued
swimming about for hours. The power
of the. sharks tail often makes the
fish an inconvenient neighbor when
drawn on deck, but when the tail is
chopped Oft this danger is removed. 1t
Is, however. usual to disable the ami
NAL by blow on tho snout. 1t is ocea-
sionally accompanied by its young.
which in June are about eighteen
inches or two feet long. 1t remains in
these seas, sometimes straying as far
north rs the Orkpeys throughout the
summer, and disappears in the autumn.
Many hundreds are captured in a sea-
son by British fishermen. but the body
is used ONLY for manure, and oil is
made from tho liver. The largest
examples are said to reach a length of
fourteen feet, but the usual size is six
or eight feet. It is distributed through
out temperate and tropical seas. and
has been recorded from Pondicherry,
st. Helena and the Mediterranean, but
neither the limit nor direction OF its
migrations is at present known. The
animal derives its name from the color
of Its fins and the upper parts OF the
body. though the bclly remains white.
