HornIess cattle are the desideratum in
most localities, says the Farmers Review.
There may be possible exceptions in 10
calities where the animals actually need
their horns to protect their young ana
themselves against wolves and like ami
mails, but happily many of our states are
now free from pests of that character. The
horn is a relic of ages when the COW did
not have man for a protector. Man has
no use for it, Every few weeks we hear
a horrible story of some person being gored
to death. What farmer has not seen even
mild-tempered COWS attack other COWS tu-
riOusly with their horns, sometimes IN
flIcung damage that is not easily RENE
died? The horn is a useless and a dan
gerous weapon for her masters 10 leave
in possession of the COW. Most OF our
farmers realize this, but consider 1t 100
much trouble for them TO have their cat
tie dehornSd. In some cases there as
sentiment about infiicting pain on the ami
mails, though it is probable thai the pain
of dehorning is not greater than the pain
to the human being in having tooth
drawn. However this may be, we need
only take the horns in time to avoid
both the horns and the pain to the
animals of dehorning. Caustic potash, IL
applied at the proper time, does the work
to Perfection with little or no pain. The
little knob of horn starts at first from
a semi-soft material which may be called
the matrix, or mother of the horn. Apply
potash to this and it become impotent.
The process is arrested forever and the
calf grows up hornless. Such animals arc
easier handled, and even if they attack
one. can do infinitely less damage than
can animals on which the horns have been
left 10 grow Take the horns in time and
save trouble.
The New Hampshire experimental sta
ton gives the following method of APP
plying the potash: THE hair should be
cut away from the young horn as thor
oughly as possible so that the potash may
come in intimate contact with the parts
to be treated. The oily secretion should
be removed from the parts TO be touched
with the potash, by wiping carefully with
a rag or sponge moistened with soap suds,
or water containing a little ammonia.
Parts not to be touched should not be
moistened. The stick of potash is rolled
end exposed The exposed end is dipped
in water to moisten il and then rubbed on
the button or embryo horn until the skin
begins to start, care being taken that the
whole of the button and the border or ma
trix Is included in the treatment. In
young calves few days Old surface half
an inch or a little more in diameter will
cover these parts. Caustic potash or
caustic soda, which answers as well, can
be obtained at almost any drug store.
When not in use it should be kept in a
closely toppered vial, one with a rubber
stopper preferred or it win liquefy. AZ
ter the calf is two or three days old the
sooner the potash is appliedithe better"

The Popularity of the Kiemer Pear.

The Popularity of the Kieffer Pear.
The great popularity of the Kieffer pear
is a matter OF much surprise to many, in
view Of the fact that its quality ls much
below the average in the estimation of
most of those acquainted with fruits, says
Joseph Meehan in Practical Farmer. 1
am aware that they prefer the Kieffer to
any other pear of its season. but those
who say this are not many. For my part
think 1t much below the average. But
that it is a popular pear, and that it finds
a ready sale in market, and Is. conse-
quently a profitable one to plant, cannot
be gainsaid. The question naturally
arises, why its popularity? 1 think this
can be answered, IL remember well when
It was first dissendnated, for its home is
here, the original Kieffer homestead, not
five miles from where 1 write. II received
its certificate of merit at the Centennial
Exposition, at Philadelphia, in 1875. that
being the first. time the fruit was ever
placed on exhibition. The certificate gave
it great praise, and naturally there was
demand for they tree. Those who pur-
chased the trees then had not long to
wait for the fruit the tree bearing when
very young Very soon the reports on
the fruit were at hand, and nearly all CT
them were of a denunciatory order. There
had been expectations of a fruit of eX-
cellent quality, and this the most of tie
reports said had not been realized. One
gentleman, who told me he had paid IS
for his tree added that I was welcome
20 come and dig it out if I cared for 1t.
Another one, the late John Haines. a very
good pomOlogist, told me he considered
it a very good ounce. 1 have thought
of this remark of mis- many a time since,
becadse l am sure that much of the pOpu-
larity of this pear comes from it's suit
ableness for purposes which the ounce
is used for. There is a peculiar haVer to
it not unlike ounce, and bearing abund-
antly and regularly, it certainly has taken
the place of the ounce for preserving
in various ways. Ounces cannot be had
in large quantities, and hOusekeepers in
large cities buy the Kieffer instead using
them for canning. just as they would the
ounce could they get il. So it is, indeed
as my old friend said. "a very good
ounce" And at the season of the year
that it ripens, early in November here,
there are no pears, one may say, in mar
ket, and for every day use on the table,
in cooked or in a fresh state, it is Of
much value. Stil another point in ats Ia
Vor is the fact that it stands handling BET
ter than many other pears. Though IT
may be bruised in transit from place 10
place. it does not rot, and can be kept
be fit to use IL will bear referring again
to what is already fairly well known
that the advent of the Kieffer, the lie
Conte and the CARRIER enabled the cultiVa-
ton of the pear 10 be successfully under
taken in some of the Southern states,
| where this fruit had been very much Of
a stranger hitherto.

Pasturage for Hogs.

At the recent meeting of the Kentucky
Swine Breeders Association, held at Eliz-
abethtown, MIR. j. L. Isle read paper on
What is the Cheapest and Best Hog
Food" in which after stating that the hog,
by nature, is a grazing animal and that
pasturage for him is not only a lux
ury but necessity. he said that by fur
nlshing them with pasturage we accom-
plish two ends-we harvest the crops (blue
grass, clover and rye) without any eX-
pense or labor, and at the same time the
hogs take the necessary exercise and be-
come fully developed in bone and muscle"
and after suggesting the benefits of exer-
else as we'll as the valuable results from
the character of food obtained in pastur-
ing. he continued:
In the fall when we generally have a
drought artichokes come in well to fill the
gap between the summer grazing and the
rye. With plenty of good pasturage we
need to have very little fear of the feed
ing too much of that cheapest of all grains
corn. With good pasturage you can
safely feed freely of grain. In fact, it
never pays to feed sparingly. Hogs should
always be fed literally. The stingy feed
er and the hog are not very good friends.
lately visited two different breeders, one
of them had his hogs on good grass and
plenty of grain and there 1 saw a splendid
TOT Oh youngsters, ana tne preceding STOCK,
including a 5O0-pound boar, were as active
as kittens. The other breeder had some
fancy bred stock bought al high prices
with plenty of bran and shipstuff but no
sign of grass of any kind, and he didn't
have hardly a single good individual. What
grass has done for Kentucky horses and
cattle it will for her hogs. If you can't
furnish pasturage for your hogs. then don't
try to raise hogs, for you cant compete
successfully with your neighbor, who has
the cheapest and best Of all foods"

The Movement on Cuba.

As stated in our dispatches yesterday,
the Spanish squadron is at Sanuago-the
squadron which contains the best ships of
the Spanish navy. 1t is in Santiago ilar-
Dor. and can't get out without destroying
the American bstteships which guard the
harbors entrance. Commodore Schley,
who commands the American feet, is Ger
tain that the Spanish squadron is at his
mercy-that it will have to surrender or
fight. and that if il fights it VIII be de-
stroyed.
Our dispatches this morning report great
activity in army and navy circles. What
The governments plans are are unknown
but there appears to be no doubt that it is
its purpose to strike one or more telling
blows at once with the hope of bringing
the war to a speedy close.
The purpose may he to land an expedi-
ito near Santiago and, in conjunction with
our feet capture thai place, together with
the garrison and the warships. That would
be a blow that would cause the Spanish
government 10 consider the advisabihty
Of suing for peace at once.
Il may be that the capture Of Porto Rico
is contemplated. That would not be a
very difficult task If Spain should lose
Porto Rico she would nave no place on this
side Of the Atlantic at which she could
get coal for her ships. The loss Of that
island, therefore, would be such a serious
blow as would make her government and
her people anxious for peace.
Stirring news may be expected within a
very few days-noWs which may indicate
that the end Of the war is MOI very far
off

The Supreme Court of Illinois has re-
Gently passed an order which suggests
that good lawyers cannot be made from
green timber in two years, and that the
term of study for lawyers should be made
three years. A league of law students has
been formed, for the purpose of protesting
against the suggestion. 1t is a very hard,
if not an impractical. matter to specify
any given length of time in which a good
lawyer can be made from green timber.

The transatlantic cable situation is es-
pecially favorable for this country. There
IS not one of the cables which makes it's
first landing on this side Of the ocean upon
United States soil; each Of them, starting
from neutral territory, touches neutral
territory again before it reaches the Uni
ted States. In order TO avoid row with
one Of the neutrals, the Spaniards would
have to cut the cables between Nova SEQ
tia and Newfoundland and the United
states. If they think they can do that,
they are at liberty to try 1t.
If one would be correct, the name of the
Spanish admiral that schley has bottled
up must be called Their ay-rah." The
lisp sound foolish. of course, but is a way
the Spaniards have. After a short while,
however, the gentlemans name will be
