In order to give our readers intelligent
information concerning this dehorning COM
pound, and to see for ourselves whether 1t
had thus far done what was claimed for it,
q member of the editorial staff went out to
Mr.. March's farm, in Wisconsin, and saw
twenty-three Grade Shorthorn calves, rang
ing in age from three weeks to one year
seventeen of them past eight months old
which had been treated, and none of them
gave evidence of any bad effects. From
very searching investigation 1t was learned
that Mr. March and his company are men OF
high character, and that all the claims set
forth by them are verified in fact so far as
the limited time of experiment permits US
to Judge. It is safe 10 conclude that this
LIQUID will as effectually amputate the en-
bryo horn as a knife. The best feature, too,
is that no ca witty is left, not even scar-a
complete polled head resulting, as shown ir
our illustration.
To sum UP, then, Mr.. March claims that
he has discovered a chemical compound
which will remove the embryo horn; he
has the skulls Of animals operated on, and
also live animals TO prove his assertion;
so far as tho experiments have been con-
Quoted, no bad effects have been noted in
the animals acted upon. Consequently 1t
seems TO US safe enough TO recommend
farmers TO at least give this chemica! de-
horner trial. Those in o hurry TO expert

is now the only line running Pullman
Palace sleeping cars from Wichita to St

this service they also run elegant free re-

coaches between the two mentioned cities.
The Frisco line is the shortest and
quickest line under one management be-
tween Wichita and St. Louis, and has for
years furnished to its patrons an unsur-

dependent upon connecting lines to make
a through route as is the case with other
lines, consequently the delays so vexatlous

one change of cars to Boston, New York
