DEHoRHRD cows
HerO II . story About One OLE woman
who Wanted Her Cow 20 D0
De-TaiIed Al0O.

Dehorning cows has been all the fash
ion lately. says an exchange. It's aston.
ishing how many claim that their cow
had the hollow horn. simply as a salve
for what appears to be a hard-hearted
practice. In most instances the deed
was done before the parties had even
learned that their cattle even had the
hollow horn. Hence. this not being the
motive for the deed. they should not
mix 1t into salve TO soothe their
wounded consciences.
A good old sister said: "No. I'll not
have my cow dehorned. The Lord made
her with horns and He knew be- '~r than
] do what she needed" God old
brother said when he was asked the
cause Of hollow horn: why. poor feed
ing and too much milking will keep
both the cow and her horns hollow.
reckon that's the cause Of so much hol-
low horn" ~ ".'
Another sister worried over the de-
horning of her cow. Before it recov-
cred from the effects Of il some one
said: THAT cow has the hollow tail"
The old woman locked around. threw
up her hands in horror and said: Take
her out and detail her nj once. Let's
make a good Job of ii while we're at it"
