RECORD IN DEAoRNlNG.


Thirty-One COws Deprived OF Horns In
Forty Minutes.
! recently dehorned my herd Of 81
head in about 40 minutes. There was
no pcrceptible loss of appetite or
shrinkage of milk in any case. Eefore
dehorning, my COWS were always in
clined to fight more or less, and occa-
sionally l have lost cows from tho
effects of this. Now they are as peace
able as sheep. My method was AS fol-
lows: ! first bought a spring back bono
saw which, with rope about 10 feet
long, is all the implement necessary to
perform the operation. Leaving. the
COWS in the stanchions, I fastened the
rope with halter-hitch around tho
neck and a lIalf-hitch owe. the nose,
then / slipped the rope up near tho
eyes. l then put the rope over the
stanchion occupied by the next COW. a
distance Of about three feet, and drew
the head firmly to one side, having a
man to hold the rope. l took the horn
in the left hand and sawed as closely ae
possible to the head. After taking OF
one of the horns drew the head to the
other side and proceeded in the same
way, turning each cow out as soon as
finished with her. The loss of blood
was slight with few exceptions. The
application of tar about a week later
aids in healing the wound. 1t is best
| to do this before warm weather, when
the flies become troublesome. By this
method there is no danger 70 man or
beast. l am now a strong advocate OF
dehorning, for my experience has given
such satisfactory rcsults.-R. J. jerks,

AN lMPoRTANT ITEM.

Clean Harvest.

Have the Tools IN 0ood order and Seoar0
Clean Harvest.
An item in. making the most Of the
crops is CLEAN harvesting. 1t seenis
poor economy after going to the ex-
gense Of preparing the ground, securing
and sowing the seed, and giving tho
care necessary TO secure . good crop. to
waste more or less of il after it II roady
to harvest. ...
Having the tools in good working
order is an important item in doing
this. With the small grains, and clover
apd grass cut for hay, it is an impor-
tant item to cut clean and then to sec
that it is gathered up clean. Forcing
the machine to run over portion. or
failing to have the sickle sharp, SO rs to
leave more or less. standing, is n loss
that should always be avoided. Having
the ground Gle an and smooth is an ina
portant item in cutting clean, as tire
cutter bar can be run closer to tho
ground. One Of the advantages Of
rolling the ground in the spring is that
it levels the soil and often crowds rocks
or sticks that would otherwise inter-
fere with the work into the ground. It
is important to keep the sickles sharp.
Clean cutting can hardly be done with
dull tools. and it will be u saving on
the teams as well as secure cleaner
work if the sickles are kept sharp, and
for this reason in a majority Of cases n
good sickle grinder can nearly always
be used to advantage.
Every farmer knows that at best it is
hard, slow work to grind a sickle on a
common grind-stone, and II the sickle
is kept in the best condition for cut
ting. something else will be needed,
and grinder made especially for the
purpose can be made profitable.
a good rake is an essential item in
cleaning up, and will be found =
profitable Investment. Cut clean and
then rake clean and the waste will be
materially lessened. The sclf-bindel
has, of course. materially lessened the
! waste with wheat and oats, but with
may as yet the rake must be depended
upon.-Prairie Farmer.

why Every Fruit Grower Should Keep n
-. Colony of the Insects.
1T is simply an aggravated case Of
base ingratitude on the part of the fruit
grower, says Popular Gardening. if he
finds fault with his Bookkeeping neigh
Dor on account of the injury done to
fruit by bees. The fruit-grower, in
fact, has no warmer friend, no more
useful agent, than the pollen-carrying,
little insect. The inter
ests of the frnit-growcr and bee-keeper
far from being antagonistic, lie indeed
so nearly in the same direction that we
urgently advocate the combin alton of
the avocations in the same person.
The leading cause of barrenness in
fruit trees and bush fruits is lack of
proper pollenation, due again, in many
cases, to the absence of the right kind
of pollen, and in others to its non-
transfer from the stamens to the needy
pistils. Many trees are not self-fertil-
izine, either because their own pol
len upon their own pistiis has no poten.
CIV, or because the pollen is net dis
charged at the time when the pistilr
are receptive.
We believe bees are good thing, and
a numb Der of colonies should be kept in
or near every orchard.

THE late corn crops often overtake
those that are early. owing to the cold
nights and frequent rains retarding the
growth of the plants that appeared
early in the season.
A FEW pennies worth Of oitmeat and
oatmeal, we'll cooked and properly

than pound of butter fat. . !.
As SOON as the early corn is three
inches high plant another patch. and
vet another later in the season, in order
TO have a succession. Sweet corn may
be had until fall by planting the seed

simple Remedies Are Usually Better Than

In slight ailments do not resort to
HASH medicines. Frequently little
wood ashes, powdered charcoal, salt or
EPSON salts will be all that is needed
besides tudicious feeling. If a horse
gets wounded do not become fright
cned or spend your money on veterin-
ary surgeons, unless il is badly
wounded. Apply a weak solution of
carbolic acid to the wound, bruise
or swelling. 1t is safe, cheap and
eflicacious. Such simple remedies are
frequently not only all that are
required, but when efficacious they
are very much better than harsher
remedies. On one thing the horse own
er can rely: in nineteen cases out Of
twenty he will know just as much
about the disease and the proper treat
ment as the horse doctor who is usually
found in every community. Unless a
man actually knows something Of the

he said, and knew quite well every day
