EFFECT OF HORN CUTTING.

What effect has the growth of horn
upon an animal, and what would be the
results of its removal. This question has
come up in regard to the now prevalent
practice of dishorning cows and other
cattle, and it is thought by some persons
concerned, that cows may be injured as
mixers and bulls rs stock getters by the
operation. This INTERESTINGLY enough,
it seems--has occupied so much attcn-
ton that Professor Law, the Veterinary
Professor of Cornell University, has been
called upon to give an opinion upon it,
which he does by saying that the loss of
the horn can have no affect upon the
ability of n COW to give milk, or upon
the quality of the milk. The opinion
cannot be questioned. Any reasonable
person could scarcely ask for it. A horn
is made up of hair closely aggregated in
solid but fibrous substance. 1t grows
from the skin as hair does, and if the
cutting off of horn should affect the
milking of a cow the clipping of the
switch from the end of her tail should do
the same. On the contrary the removal
of the cows horns has largely increased
the product of milk and butter, because
it has given the weaker COWS rest from
the persecution of the stronger ones,
leaving them to eat and rest in peace and
ruminatc upon the better condition of
affairs more usefully and profitably.-

THE aApEs-How TO CURE.

When II large number of chicks have
gapes it is difficult task to- handle each
one separately so as to force feather tip,
or horse hair, into the wiudpipo in order
to pull out the thrcad-like cape worms,
though such is the usual practice, as cures
are not always reliable without physical
aid. The best remedy is to give each
chick drop of spirits of turpentine on
a bread crumb. If the chicks are nu-
merous, mix a teaspoonful of spirits tur-
pertine with quart of corn meal, make
into stiff dough and feed It to the
chicks. A wholesale method of curing
gapes is to put the chicks in box with
a wire partition; on one side of the par
tition the chicks are to be placed, and on
the other side of the wire hot brick or
stone. Pour little carbolic acid on the
hot brick, shut the lid Of the box and
compel the chicks to breathe the fumes
of the carbolic acid. 1t will cure the
gapes at once, but care must be taken not
to suffocatc the chicks. This remedy is
also excellent for roup, or where adult
fowls arc suifocating with the we'll known
difficult breathing. Once or twice at
practice will enable you to handle the
chicks just rs it should be. To prevent
gapes, keep the chicks on clean, board
floors. .-Fdrm aad FIreside.

CURING CLOVER.


To determine the condition Of partly
cured clover have found much help in
taking half dozen stalks and twisting
them very tightly. The moro OF less (or

shows far better than tho looks of the
clover how much it is cured. This has
been laughed at in these columns, but
nevertheless 1t is the best way know of
to determine tho condition Of the stems

Secretary of the Treasury, Win
dom makes the following estimates
of the amounts required for the
payment of pensions: Expended
for the year ended June 50, 1850,
So5,624,779.I1; appropriated and es-
timated for year ending June 80,
1890, $9h75S,7oo; estimated for year
ended June 80, 1891, S98,588,252.
A comparison of the expenditures of
1870, with those of 1850 will show
during the last 10 years the increase
of pension has not differed very
widely from the decrease of interest
in the public debt: Pensions in 1879,
|S35,I2I,482. 80; pensions in 1889,
95,624779.1I; Interest on public
debt, 1879, SIo5,326,94o Interest on
public debt, 1889, S4I,ooI,484. 20.

IN a speech at Nottingham the
other evening Parnell announced his
theory as to the manner in which
Ireland must work out its salvation.
He maintained that manufactures
might be developed to such an ex-
tent as to take the strain off the
land and enable the people to look to
other means than farming for gain
ing living, but the idea was not
tenabIe that Ireland could be gov
erned by England's promoting her
industries. Irishmen themselves
must promote Irish industries by
building harbors, clearing out the
channels of rivers and retaining
waste lands-not at the expense of
the English excheqner, but Of the
Irish exchequer, or, best of all,
through the efforts of local and indi-
vidual enterprise and with private
capital.

MELVILLE E. Stone, formerly
editor of the Chicago Nr7os, arrived
from Europe yesterday. This cir
cumstance recalls the fact that he,
an arrant free-trader, was thorough
ly converted to a belief in the bene-
ficent results Of the protective system
before he had been in Great Britain
three weeks. In vigorous language
he depicted the baleful effects Of
free trade on Ireland, and the Chi
cago Times published his letters,
democratic as it is and as damaging
to its cause as they we're. A brief
foreign trip is an excellent antidote
for the poison of free trade.

Ballot Reform.

Probably no reform has at any
time in our past history of equal
importance to the general welfare
o. the country, made such rapid pro-
gress i'll commencing itself to the
favor of the people, as that called
the ballot reform. This reform had
its origin in far off Australia, and
soon by its merits found its way to
England, and from there to this
country. It's working so far as has
been tested, is pronounced entirely
satisfactory. Doubtless most read
ers know, that the object of this new
system of voting, is to secure fair
and honest elections, to prevent bri
berry, illegal voting, to guard against
the use of improper influence, and
keep away from the polls Of election
all except those who singly present
themselves to vote. There will be
no challenging voters, for every
mans qualifications for voting will
be determined before he goes to the
polls. The time since this system
Of voting has been introduced in
this country has been, so brief, but
few states have adopted it, but from
present indications it will probably
be provided for in most, if not all,
as soon as the necessary legislative
action can be had. But few people
have an idea of the extent of the
