Dehorning Cattle.

The dehorning of young stock on
many ranches in west Texas and the
PAM andle is being active ly prosecuted
this spring. The use of the saw and
the clippers is being now generally
avoided and caustic potash used in
stead. Texas farmers cay that the
clippers are apt to crush the horn and
slightly fracture the skull
at its base ana the saw leaves
an open wound, into which
worms may enter and cause the animal
intense suffering. Texas people, as
we'll as Kansas bree ders. say it is the
very poorest kind of policy to wait un-
til the horns are we'll started in young
calves before removing them and then
use the saw or clippers. They believe
in killing them in the bud by the use
of chemicals that accomplish the re-
suit without any danger of later harm
to the animal operated on. Cattle
raisers state that the only pos
sible danger in the use of
the potash is that it may get into the
eyes of the calf, in which case the dam
age is serious and not readily cured
The experts in this dehornipR business
claim that when the animal is not de-
horned as q calf the horns should not
be interfered with until it passes the
age of years. The worst possible age
is years, when the hons are vascular
and bleed freely.-Dallas News.

STATISTICS OFF LONGEVITY.
Relative Longevity of Persons En-
gagged in Different Callinus.

The British registrar general. DR..
latham. has just sued a supp emental
report showing the influence of occupa-
ton upon male mortality between the
ages OF twenty-five and sixty-ive, dur
ing 1890 1891 and 1892, says the Atlanta
Constitution. According to his figures
the clergy lead the healthiest lives
Their numbers in the United States
Kingdom in 1891 amounted 20 80, 800,
and they died at every age period less
rapidly than any other class in the
community. All necessary corrections
being made. and the general mortal
ity OF males being represented by l, 900.
that OF the clergy was no more .hap 533
The legal profession, as composed of
barristers and solicitors, included
1878 persons, and their death rate
against 1000 for all males. Among
26. 244 claw clerks" the mortality was
1910, as compared with 953, and was
largely due to disease ommoply ascot
ated with intemperance. The medical
profession at the last census included
IL, 1886 males, physicians, surgeons and
general practitioners. The compara-
tive mortality figure for them was 966,
as against the above mentioned S21 for
lawy ers, 533 for the clergy and 953 for
occupied males in the aggregate. The
mortality from alcoholism among rail-
road employees and stokers is the same
as among the clergy, or only awhile
among guards porters AMI poiutsmen
it is 5, which is still considerably less
than half thestanda figure for oc-
cnpied males. An excellent place in
the tables is held by agriculturis s in
Guiding farmers and laborers. justifyiug
the belief that an active life in the Op-
en- air will do much to neutraliZe the
Rftqntl nd OF
The liquor trades are very fatal to
those who are engaged in them, and
curiously enough the mortality among
butchers is exceedingly high. Their
comparative figure is 1,096. so that
roughly spaakiug, in an equal number
of both, two butchers would die to a
single clergyman. With regard to
the causes of these great variations in
the mortality of different classes of
workers DR.. latham inclines to the
belief that the abuse of alcohol is the
chief cause of excessive death rates.

J. L. Written.

We clip the following from the Dem
ing Headlight:
J. L. Written, who lies in Ell Paso
Jail for want of $500 bail, under q
charge of robbery and burglary, wrote
to good citizen in DeminR, who had
the misfortune to treat him civilly
when here, and asked for $500 bail
bond. AS other citizens in Demipg
had been beaten by Written by sign
ing. his paper for him, no bonds were
furnished by Demingites.
The same paper says editOrially:
Our frat partner in the newspaper
business has at last run against q
harder game than we were. He
worked us by confidence and simple
lies to the tune of $50, in cold cssh,
Obtaining money under false pretence,
was the worst we could make it. He
tried to make believe we had libeled
him. He failed. Our duties as super
intendent of public schools kept
us from the criminal court, even as d
prosecutor of criminals, and as those
duties ceased he again disappeared,
but soon appeared before the bar of the
criminal court of Ell Paso, to answer
charges of felony. His actions should
be warning to all young men to seek
the straight, and at times seemingly
narrow, way of an honest and indus
trious course.
