 Professor Mccall, for many years principal of the Glasgow Veterinary college, speaking of the practice of dis morning cattle, said: "I have heard the evidence of Professor Valley, and l agree with him that the operation is one of extreme torture at the time and Rfterward. There must be moro or less pain until the wound is entirely healed Under the most favorable circumstances 1t must bo painful for ten days The operation does not benefit the animal iu the least nor the flesh as food But if the animal is vicious consider it suffi. oient to remove the tips of the horns. l have known Of an animal from which tho tips of the horns had been removed to tako to putting again, but very rare. ly. Even then he did not do much damage"

 Professor William Pritehard of tht Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, London, and for 20 years professor at the Royal Veterinary college, Camden Town, had heard the previous evidence and agreed that the operation tortures the animal and is unnecessary.
 Professor Cox, Fellow of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons and for some time its president, said, "In my opinion dishorning is extremely cruel and quite unnecessary. ''
 Professor J. Macqueen, for ten years professor at the Glasgow College of Veterinary Surgeons and afterward at the Royal Veterinary college, Camden Town. said: ''The operation is not necessary, and, if performed at all, should be done on the animal before it is or months cd. That prevents the horns growing. and the operation ia comparatively painless. "-0ur Animal Friends.
