Politicians are even now weighing
the possibilities involved in the next

which are somewhat too self-conf1dent.

Bulletin Il. Maine Experiment Sta
tion: Dehorning cattle has been ex-
tensively practiced in many parts OF the
country. In the dairy sections. the
need and advantages Of deh0rning are
not ~ well understood rs on the ranges
where cattle run together In large
herds. The subject II attracting atten-
ton just at present In this state and
the bulletin on dehorning now being
distributed by the Maine Agricultural
Experiment Station win be read with
unusual interest. The following con-
clusions regarding dehoFning are TAX
en- from the bulletin: Dehorning IL to
be recommended because dehorned cat
tie are more easily cared for than those
with horns. and because dehorned cat
tie enjoy life better. "A great deal OF
suffering Is prevented by the removal
OF horns" To dehorn mature animals.
clippers should be used that will re-
move the horn perfectly at . single
stroke and in q moment Of time. When
1t Is skilfully performed animals do not
give evidence of great suffering As an
elect Of dehorning. The tissues IN
Jured in dehorning are not very wen
supplied with nerves and they arc
quickly cut through. Good evidence
that dehorning is not very painfol 10
the fact that cattle will resume feeding
Immediately after being operated on
and the yield Of milk in cows Is not
perceptibly affected. Compared with
castration of colts and calves. dehorn-
ing may be considered painless. Those
who are familiar with the operation OF
dehorning and the results Of 1t are Its
most enthusiastic advocates. In the
past. efforts have frequently been made
to prevent the practice Of dehorning on
the ground that it caused needless pain.
It would seem to US that efforts can
now better be expended by endeavorins
to have the last relic of horn removed
from our domestic cattle. who ceased
to need them when they came under
the protection Of man. Horns may
sometimes be ornamental. but 1t is evil
dent that they are usually useless. ex-
pensive and dangerous luxuries.

+. Some time ago 1t was decided to
convey school children in Berlin to
and from school in special omnibuses,
on the theory that their morals and
manners were contaminated by riding
in the public tram cars. But they
have been indulging in SO many fights
and otherwise SO misconducting them
selves that the special omnibus serv-
zee has been discontinued. Among
other things they would constitute
themselves into band Of CorsaiIs
and dump one or more of their num-
ber into the street. They are now
riding in the public tramcars and their
behavior Is angelic.

Rabbit Traps.

One of the incidents and expenses OF
,rcharding on a large scale not like
" to be thought of by the casual OBJ
server is the constant warfare which it
is necessary to wage on the rabbits 80
likely to work great destruction to
Young apple trees. This is illustrated
hv the operations of Wellhouse & Son,
of Topeka, Kan. who are recognized as
the Apple Kings. as reported by Secre-
tary F. D. Coburn Of the State Board of
Agriculture. For their orchard in
Usage county they used a carload of
lumber in the construction of 1,760 rab-
bit traps; for their three orchards In
Leavenworth county they have 1.6O0
traps. and in a Miami county orchard
400 traps. These consist Of a box ~
inches long, made Of ordinary .6-inch
lumber, inch thick, closed at one end,
and with an inward-swinging wire gate
in the other end, which is shut by con-
tact of the rabbit with a trigger after
he has fairly entered. About four feet
of lumber and four feet Of No. IL gal
vanixed iron wire are consumed in the
making of each trap. which costs. COM
plete. from 121z to Is cents. This trap.
as now constructed, is considered we'll
nigh perfect. cost and efficiency consid-
cred, and is the result of twenty years
of experimentation in making traps,
and studying the nature and habits Of
the rabbits. In this connection the
word rabbit applies only to the ordin-
ary cOtton-tail and not to the larger
jack-rabbit, which the Messrs. Well
house say is not especially troublesome
to the apple trees.

Hogs and Pumpkins.-J. C. Senger, in
Rural New Yorker: Recently, while
feeding my hogs their ration of pump
kins, It recurred to my mind that many
of the ills with which humanity is at
flicted, particularly some Of parasite
cal nature. are due to our domestic ami
mails. More prudence and little fore
thought might avert much disease, not
to say death. Tapeworms and other
parasites find the swine. sheep. etc., q
congenial breeding place. The both
humane and wise course to pursue is
to see that our animals are kept in good
health, especially SO just before
slaughtering. Pumpkin seeds are about
the only vermifuge used in some house
holds, and they are among the recog-
nized 'ofhciar articles enumerated in
the United States Dispensatory,' and
are held in high repute as taeniafuges
by practioners of high repute. 1t is but
reasonable to suppose that. when fed
to our animals. :hey will exert a SIM

A DARK AuGnRY.

The new year does not hold out a
bright prospect for the editor OF the
Delaware Ledger. His mind is full OF
doubt and misgivlng. He acts very
much like an editor who expects an in
dignant citizen, seven feet tall and four
feet wide, TO call upon him with a
Winchester in one hand and rawhlde
in the other. on a still hunt for salts
faction, which he would rather have
refused than granted. In this extremity
the editor OF the Ledger greets 1898 in
the Following manner:
The new year is with us. What is in
store is deeply buried in the future. We
are unable to even get glimpse of the
mysterious future. IL is well, proba-
bly,, that we are unable to see the good
or bad that awaits u.s. We can glance
back over the years and each import.
ant event Is brought before us.
We sincerely trust that the grave
fears Of the editor Of the Ledger Will
not be realized. and that the stone
wall between him and the future will
soon be demolished.

most people discover the need Of a new

great number of these articles that

them all the one which suits us best
is that published by N. w. Aver q
Son, Newspaper and Magazine Adver-
tising Agents, Philadelphia. The 1898
edition has just arrived and been put
In commission. Perhaps its chief at
traction Is that the figures are clear
enough to be read across a room. II
Is, however, a most handsome speci-
men OF the printers art. while it's

men. We are not surprised to learn
that the edition has been doubled in
recent years. It's price (25 cents) in
cludes delivery by mail to any address

medallion portrait of his grandfather,
