the large wire nails lie horizontally
across the holes and box covers. Now
shift the boxes and boards so that the

to touch the wood at any point. To
prevent this it must be necessary to
use small pieces of twine as guys, just

away from the wood.
To secure the proper tension to the

KEEP THE COWS CLEAN.
Do 1t by building Uneven Managers and
Even Drops.

Do 1t by building Uneven Managers and
Even Drops.
There is no reason why Il herd of
dairy cows should suffer in appearance
because covered with filth from fall to
spring. The immediate cause for this
trouble is floors without drops, or that
are too long to match the individual
animals. To vary the distance between
a manger and drop by having the gut
ters in uneven positions, would make
an untidy appearance in the stable, be-
sides increasing the labor of clearing
it, but it is not impossible to make
each manger, or pair of managers, NOV
able, SO that each COW, or two cows of
the same length, may be accommodate
ed with length OF floor exactly
adapted to their requirements. To
bring this about, let each manger bot
tom be firmly nailed to two strips of
scantling eighteen inches long, which
fit into correspondings slots in the stable
hoor-slots long enough to permit the
movement forward and backward ol
the managers. A simple hook or bolt
made of wood or iron and attached tc
the manger in front will firmly hold il
in the desired position. Ii the
managers are not sufficiently heavy
to tie to, or if stanchlons are used, an
upright, two by three inches, may con-
meet the manger with the ceiling above
by means of Il simple fastening, SO thGt
the tie will lie solid

give during the IS earlier weeks of her
mills-fow about 470 gallons, which, at

for the butter dairy, the produce o.

ought to be 240 pounds of butter. The
best means of developing and improv-
ing the milking capacity of cows are
selection and breeding. The lives of
good mixers should be preserved as

REMOVE THE HORNS.
Full Account OF the Dishorning of . Herd
Of Dairy Cows.


Dishorning cattle has become Gus.
tom which is very common in nearly
all parts of the country, and although
there are some people who make a
great cry of cruelty the practice is
rapidly spreading, and few years
hence horns will be as rare as their alb
sence has been in the past
Not long ago we had our herd Of
thirty.two cows and heifers dishorned,
and it may be Of interest TO your read
ers to know the result of sucn pro-
ceeding upon cows in milk. The in-
strument used was one that works with
knife moved by a lever, and which
takes horn off in less than second
after the animal is secured for opera
ton The cows were put in stanchion,
one at time. In front of them a COM
mon hay fork hook had been screwed
to the floor, and with a'rope and one of
the nose rings which pinch the nose
but do not cut 1t, the heads were drawn
down by the attendant and held while
the operator took off the horns The
whole thing took less time for each
COW than it does to tell It, The rope
was loosened and the animal released.
The blood flowed, of course; and for q
few days they presented sorry ap-
pearance as to their heads, but they
never lost meal, nor did they shrink a
pound in their milk by the operation.
AS is usual with herd of rows, the
timid ones were always worried by the
boss cows, and there was more or less
hooking, resulting once or twice in the
l 1,tvt1 - nd pth
mishaps of less serious nature. Now
all that is changed. Quietly and or
derly they go to and from pasture
There is no hooking in passing through
gates. and If COW gets loose in the
night she does the rest no damage.
.Ofcourse we hated to see the horns 60,
some of them were SO pretty; but they
will look just as pretty and be put to
better use when polished and mounted
for hall rack We have come to the
conclusion that cows have no use for
horns anyway. 1t would be better to
prevent the horns from growing at all,
perhaps, and this can be successfully
done by rubbing the tiny horn buttons
of the young calves with a piece oi
caustic potash slightly moistened, care
being taken to touch nothing but the
part to be destroyed. If properly
done, the horns will not grow.
There is, notice, some talk of breed
ing the horns off, but when we con
slider that countless generations o.
sheep have had their tails cut off, ant
that no lamb has ever been known tc
be born tailless, it does not seen
probabl that it will be a success
Perhaps some will say. why not keer
cattle that are naturally hornless,
But dairymen who know the possibili
ties of the Jerseys or Guernscys will bt
slow to give them up, or to mix tn,
breed with the muleys. To them
would say, take off the horns and l an
sure you will not regret it.-Ella Rock

In the house, big hive of work peo-
ple, situated in the Rue Delambre,
where for six months Tony Robec had
occupied room, everyone thought that
he was a widower. He could not have
been widower very long, for his little
boy Adrien, who lived with him and
who was always we'll cared for, was
not more than six years old Yet nei-
ther of them wore mourning!
Early every day Tony Robec, who
was employed as compositor in a
printing house in the QUARTER Latin,
left his room with the child still half
asleep on his shoulder. He left the lit
tie one at school and called for him
again at night when returning from
work. Then they went shopping to-
gether, after which they shut them
selves up in their garrett, and nothing
more was seen of them until the follow
ing morning.
The ind-hearted gossips were full OF
pity for the poor fellow. He couldn't
be more than forty and was still good
looking, although sad and pale, and
with silver streals in his black beard.
Behind his back they said: THAT man

II was between my house and my
fathers, about twenty rods. The
barns are situated midway. The tele-
phones are made of cigar boxes. The
line wire consists of two strands of
steel binder wire twisted. The cigar
boxes must be tight and strong. We
nailed the cover down first, using small,
fine wire brads. In the center of the
cover hole one and one-fourth inches
in diameter was bored with q sharp
bit This for the front side. In the
center of the bottom hole was bored
one-half inch in diameter.
A hole three-fourths inch in diameter
was bored through the wall, or casing,
where it was desired to locate the tele-
phone. A small board the same size of
the cigar box bottom one inch thick,
was cut out, and a screw put into each
corner. A hole three fourths inch in
diameter was bored in the center. This
board was placed on the wall and the
cigar box placed over it, the four cor.
ners resting on the four screws. These
screws should project about one-hali
inch, and the box should rest squarely
on all four of them.
Now take one end of the twisted wire
and run from outside into the holes in
the wall, and through the, board and
cigar box. Twist the end of wire
around the center of No. 20 wire
