And, whatsoe'e r the task might be.
None ever saw him shirk.
And he can laugh, toe, till his eyes

And sing full many an old-time song

Who kept me up so well;
For women such as she are scarce

For more than thirty years.
" And then my boys have all done well
As far as they have gone,
And that thing warns en- old mans

SURVIVAL OF rHg rIrrEsr.

SURVIVAL VT
Mr.. Morris Terry, of wa,erville, \.
r., writes;
81 see by your paper that you are
going to increase your hop aereare.
Nv advice to all of your hop-growers
is to be careful. If you have three
years OF low prices. it viii make poor
men OF the most OF the growers. We
know that by experience. When We
get fair crop. your hops will not be
used much in the summer. The brew
ers will not buy them IL they can get
York state hops. You are mistaken
about our farmers blowing mp; but
ie will be plowed up. Where farm
ers have all the fixtures they will keep
along, the most Of them
We shall make desperate effort 10
get our hops picked for less. My ides
| is for q man to cultivate a few acres.
II the price is low, il will not ruin him.
The time has been when the large
growers thought they were going TO
run the small oues out. To illustrate:
have a neighbor that raises sir &C res !;

used TO be. The dealers viii sell your

things 10 operate against the hop busi-
ness. Some Of the states have passed
the prohibition lav. Our State has or

When the subject Of dehofning cat
tie Was first brought into public prom
inence by the arrest Of it originator
of Illinois upon the charge Of cruelty
had never before dreamed Of such q
method OF preventing injuries among
their herds became eager 10 learn the
process by which their unruly horned
animals could be controlled, and il is q
safe assertion that the prosecution Of
Mr.. Hsaf was . better means than he
himself could have thought Of to bring
forward the advantages TO the farmer
resulting from the dehorning Of their
herds.
In September, 1885, the Live Stock
Indicator editorially indorsed the de
horning idea, and little later raised
its voice emphatically in favor of the
removal of the horns, the first journal
having the courage to do 50; and to-
day, less than three years since Mr..
HAAS prosecution, which resulted, -
is well known, in complete vindica-
ton, it is . fact that the horns have
been removed from at least 100, 900 in
tn, West alone, and that Is many more
will be dehorned this year does not ad-
init Of doubt. Wherever the expert
ment has been tried new converts have
been found, and in not single instance
have We heard Of any loss resulting
from the operation.
The only argument against the prac-
tice comes from that class OF persons
who can see that il Is q cruel operation,
and indeed il is; hence they say that it
is contrary to Christianity - well Is
humanity. Yet these same persons
never finch when an animal Is to be
spayed or castrated, or branded with q
red-hot iron, because, forsooth. that
has been practiced 90 long that it acts
upon these people about Is Pope says
on man:
Vice is a monster of such frightful
mien,
That, to be hated, needs but to be seem;
Yet seen too oft, familiar with her
face,
We first endure. then pity, then en-
brace"
But when We consider that by this
one act OF cruelty. If il may be 90 sd
mitted. we prevent hundreds Of other
acts Of cruelty perpetrated by the AMI
mails themselves. the so-called heart
lessness OF he whe undertakes to de-
horn his animals entirely disappears.
Men Of superior intellect are not slow
to adopt ne~ measures in controlling
the brute ere ,tion any more than 70
follow in the wake of the "cranks :"
who FIRST put TO use steam and electri-
city. The world moves. and notwith-
standing most great men who have
brought forward new ideas have been
prosecuted by their fellows, yet the
very prosecutions they had to undergo
we're the best means OF carrying their
ideas forward, until finally they . e
adopted by the intelligent OF the entire
world.
SO. too, will it be with dehorning cat
tie: and while We dc not expect that
the present generation Of breeders Of
pure-bred horned animals viii have
The courage to undertake the work,
time viii eventually prove that it Is .
wise procedure. and though it may
take long years to completely eradicate
the horns, YET We are convinced that
eventually the horns must go.-l Kan
