Humane Dehorning.

An Indiana farmer gives this method
OF humanely dehorning calves: AS soon
as the buds of the horns appear on the
calf or can be found / take an ordinary
stick Of white potash, such as is sold by
any druggist for very slight sum of
money, and after moistening the horn
bud with drop Of water or some saliva,
rub the exposed horn with the end Of
the stick Of potash. | use the stick OF
potash because it is about the size OF a
lead pencil and 1t Is very convenient to
be slipped into bottle, where it must
be kept closely oorked until one wishes
TO use 1t again. It takes but slight APP
plication to kill the young horn, and the
calf does not mind 1t at all.

or Russian sheep dog, has been substi-

he has been thus tried, the owtcher had
proved 10 be the sheep owners most
faithful friend and servant. We hope
he will be further Experimental with, as
he promises 10 be a most valuable de-
pendence for stock raisers.
The American Cultiyator gives this
information about the owtcher:
The old province of Ukraine, which Is
now Incorporated in the Russian gov
ly fertile country, but only sparsely pop
ulated The greater portion Of this ter
ritory consists Of vast, slightly undulated
steppes which are watered by the Dnei-
per and its numerous tributaries. The
wealth Of the inhabitants consists Of
live stock, and particularly sheep, Of
which enormous hocks are kept. One
Of the largest landowners is Mr.. Falz
Fem, and the number Of sheep on his
runs is so large that he can only form
an estimate by the number of dogs
which are required to guard them, and
there are generally 5000 kept for that
purpose. On an average forty sheep are
apportioned to each dog; the total must,
therefore, reach the prodigious figure of
100000.
These sheep dogs have long coat,
which very often gets matted. The
color generally is a kind of gray, formed
by a mixture of black and dingy white
hair The medium height is twenty
eight inches, and their tail is always
short frequently carried very gayly,
and only sparsely coated. Sometimes
there exists only quite rudimentary
trace of tail. The breed is highly es-
teemed in Russia, where it is known by
the name of the Owtcher.
