The Henrietta Independent says that
the cattle near Beaver creek, I. t., are
thin, but strong, and the loss during the
winter has been light. A portion of the
range there has been destroyed by prai-
RE fires recently which may cause some
loss among cattle.

meet in Santa Anna with their wool pro-

market at Santa Anna if carried out.
The hog trade between the United
States and Mexico is rapidly growing,
and there is money in it for those who
ship good fat hogs there to sell. This
fact, it seems, is not realized by people
in this part of the country, but keen OBJ
servers further up have caught on and
they are reaping rich harvest. A Mr..
Claypool of Wellington, Kan, who was
in Fort Worth recently last week bought
in Kansas City and shipped to the City of
Mexico 2100 head Of live hogs, and he
made good money on them. The fact of
the matter is this trade with Mexico is
getting to be enormous.

Mr.. Charles Hutton, in the London
Live Stock Journal, gives the following
remedy for lice in cattle. Gin no form
would 1 apply tobacco to an animal IS
skin with the object of killing lice; it is
nasty, sickening thing to apply. My
pound, dissolved in two gallons of water,
or enough to give the animal thorough
washing all over; should it be considered
one washing not sufficient, wash second
time in few days. The soft soap not
only kills vermin, but cleanses the ami
NAL S skin and puts 1t into better way
of thriving. A very perceptfble i'm
provement in the appearance of the ami
NAL s coat will be found in short time;
such is my experience. -
A Wisconsin man thinks he has settled
the dehorning problem. No more horns!
no more saving of the hornsl All breeds
may at nominal cost be effectively re-
lIeved of the demand of nature TO grow
hornsi This is the confident announce
ment modest man is almost prepared to
make to the world. Chemistry works
wondrous changes. The world still
moves; and invention still asserts her
leadership A chemical compound is now
the agent for covering up the points of
the young calf head so that the horn is
never permitted to begin growth. The
solution forms n light, firm crust, which
the horn cannot penetrate. After few
generations this treatment will effect
permanent polled condition This is the
new claim, the demonstration of which
is awaited with interest,
