Painless DehOrning.

in reply to question from CORE
spondent, G.. M. Gowell, of the Maine
Experiment Station, replies as follows:
THE best way to dehorn cattle that
know of is to take them when they are
calves, not more than ten days old, and
shear the hair away from the buttons
where the horn is to appear, and with a
moist cloth rub the oil off from the
button. Do not wash spot larger
then the end of the little finger. Get
from the apothecary a stick of caustic
potash and moisten one end so as to
dissolve it slightly and rub the little spot
of moist skin four or five times in as
many minutes, moistening the potash
each time. This will destroy the
cuticle of the skin and check the growth
Of horn. We have several heifers treat
ed in this way and they have smooth,
clean polls. Do not use too much
moisture on the potash, for if the solu-
ton runs out into the hair it will leave
bare spot wherever it goes. Keep the
calves in out of the rain for several days
for the same reason. The operation is
simple and practically painless to the
animal.
"When the knife is used, cut out a
piece of skin half an inch in diameter
right over the button. Do it early,
before the calf is two weeks old. | be-
lieve every calf should be dehorned.
Regarding mature animals, would de-
horn only bulls and vicious cows and
would do that every time. There is
not much danger in dehorning mature
animals, but should be very reluctant
about taking the saw or clippers and
going at herd of sensitive highly or
nized cows. Let them live out their
natural lives and do their work, but be
sure and start right with the calf.

Gooseberries are absolutely dependent
on insect fertilization, and Cheshire says,
in his interesting work on bees, that frost
is often blamed for the wholesale dropping
off of the gooseberry flowers, when the
fact probably is that unfavorable weather
has prevented insects from doing their
work.

slowly.
SEATTLE, Nov. 3.-While the count
of the vote progresses slowly, indica-
tiOns are that Bryan has carried this
state and that James Hamilton Lewis
and w. Jones, congressional candi-
dates, have been elected. The contest
between gubernatorial candidates John
r. Rogers (fusion) and Potter Charles
Sullivan is close. Democrats, Populists
and free silver Republicans fused on
the basis of two electors for Populists
and two Democrats. 1t is estimated
the Democrats and Populists polled
each three-eighths and free silver Re

o'clock tonight the chairman of the Re

he was satisfied McKinley's majority
would be between 1000 and $1,000 Port
land and Multnomah county are de-
pended upon for Mckinley majority,
as it was estimated Bryan would carry
the state outside of Portland. 1t is es-
timated that Bryan will come to the
city with 1000 majority.
F'ifty-five precincts in this county,
including all but six city precincts,
give Mckinley 9,S19; Bryan, 1856, with
~ more to hear from. Only meagre,
scattering returns up to this hour have
been heard from. The Populist vote
for Bryan shows slight gain in outside
districts heard from in the state over
the vote for Populist congressman last
June. On the result depends Senator
