DehnrninS Cattle

Wisconsin Farmers Institute.
Mr.. Adams tnen took uD tie subject of de-
hornine cattle, its practical representative and
advocate being Mr. Miles Rose, of Milton, a
gentleman who has become expert through hav-
ing dehorned more than one thousand cattle.
Mr.. Miles confessed TO having had the wish
from youth TO have cattle dehorned. but
repressed by the advice of others and by pub
lie OPINION that could not then be braved. He
got some early experience by taking a broken
horn off, he now takes them off, but left
one-horned animal. Four years ago he dehorned
two animals and said nothing about it. He
simply did it to satisfy himself in regard to
what had been his theory for many years. This
was before the subject had been publicly dis
cussed With the horns off, the lives of the
finals and their keepers more safe. About
two hundred men are annually gored
to death in the United States by

either been killed or badly torn up before
he dehornsd his whole herds It takes less food
