NERvE-RASPlNG NOISES.

Ear-splitting sounds That Science Has

Modern science and civilization have

should stand nearly perpendicular, and
the large wire nails lie horizontally
across the holes and box covers Now
shift the boxes aud boards so that the
wire will be in the center of all the
holes. The wire must not be allowed
to touch the wood at any point. To
prevent this il must be necessary to
use small pieces of Irvine as guys, just
outside the walls, to mold the wire
away from the wood.
To secure the proper tension to the
line wire, now go down tile line part

with Irvine and your telephone is built

REMOVE THE HORNS.
Full Account OF the Di.horning OF . uers
of Dairy Cows

of Dairy Cows
Dishorning cattle has become a Gus
tom which is very common in nearly
all parts of the country, and a. though
there are some people who make a
great cry of cruelty the practice Is
rapidly spreading, and \ few years
hence horns will b. 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 such n pro-
ceeding upon cows in milk. The in
strument used was one that works with
a knife moved by lever. and which
takes a horn off in less than second
after the animal is secured for opera
ton. The cows were put in a stanchiou
one at a time In front of them a CON-
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 il, the heads were drawn
down by the attendant and held while
the operator took of the horns The
whole thing took less time for each
COW than il does To tell it. The rope
was loosened and the animal released
The blood flowed. of course; and for n
few days they presented a sorry APP
pearance as to their heads. but they
never lost "a meal, nor did they shrink a
pound in their milk by the operation
As is usual with herd of cows, the
timid ones were always worried by the
boss cows, and there was more or less
hooking, resulting once or twice in the
premature birth of calf and other
mishaps of n less serious nature. Now
all that is changed. Quietly and or
derby they 60 to and from pasture
There is no hooking in passing through
gates, and If a COW gets loose in the
night she does the rest no damage.
Ofcourse we hated to see the horns go,
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 M 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 piece OF
caustic potash slightly moistened, care
being taken to touch nothing but the
part TO be destroyed. II 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 OF
sheep have had their tails cut off, and
that no lamb has ever been known "a
be born tailless, it does not seem
probable that it will be a success
Perhaps some will say, why not KEEP
cattle that are naturally hornless;
But dairymen who know the possible
ties of the Jerseys or Guernseys will he
slow to give them up, or To mix the
breed with the muleys. To them
would say, take off the horns and an
sure you will not regret it.-Ella Rock,
