Dehorning the Calf.

Horns are an unmitigated nuisance
in herd of cattle. In every herd
there is one 'boss" il not more; and
it requires feed to provide the energy
to fight and the activity to elude the
fighter. Hornless cattle can be kept
in smaller enclosures, will destroy
less fodder, will utilize what they ca;
to better advantage and can be shipped
at less expense. Horns are expensive
from whatever standpoint they are
viewef. Bnt there need not be con
slant dehorning OF grown animals.
The growth of the horn can readily
be prevented.
When the calf is born there are no
indications of horns. But their de-
velopment begins Mt once, aud in a
very short time the button can be felt.
Cut away the hair about this nub or
button; wipe the hairless part with a
sponge dipped in water and ammonia,
and then dip the eud OF stick of
caustic potash in water, and then rub
it on the button until the skin begins
to start. The application should be
made when the calf s from one tu
three weeks old In the majority OF
cases that will lie the end of horn
growth on that calf. The entire stick
Of potash, except the end that is APP
piled to the button should be wrapped
with paper 10 prevent burning the

There are at least three ways Of
transferring bees from box hives into
movable frame hives. The old method
is to pry open the old hive with cold
chisel aud hammer and cut out the
combs and fit them into the frames Of
the movable frame hive and fasten
them in with sticks and strings. After
trying this method on several colonies
j must pronounce it messy, sticky and
unsatisfactory. A much better way is
to drive them out by the following
plan: Take the hive which is to be
transferred under tree in the shade
or alongside Of building and turn it
bottom up, place on top of it an empty
box OF the same size, blow in n little
smoke at the bottom occasionally and
drum on the old hive with n couple Of
sticks for tea or fifteen minutes.
Nearly all the bees and the queen will
go up into the empty box above. In
the meantime place the hive in which
you wish to put the bees on the stand
where the old hive stood, so as the
field bees which will he coming in all
the time have place to 60. OF course
they will be rushing in and out, not
knowing what TO make of it. Take
the box of bees and dump them in
front of the new hive ana they will
soon run i'll and make themselves at
home. Stand the old hive in a new
location and drum out again in twenty
one days. Put these bees in a new
hive or add them to the old colony as
You prefer. If one desires two hives
from the one, it is best to let the old
box hive cast q swarm first, then drum
in twenty-one days, and the one drum
ming will be all that is nece sary.
Sill another way, which is better
and less work than either OF the above
methods if one wishes to keep the
whole force together and get the most
honey, is to take movable frame hive
full of combs week or two before
swarming time and place under the
box hive, closing the entrance OF the
upper hive and compelling the bees
to so through the new one. When
honey begins to come in rapidly the
bees will crowd the queen into the lower
story, always putting the honey above
the brood. When the queen is laying
nicely in the lower story, put queen
excluder between the two hives and
soon all the brood will be hatched out
above and Ne combs will be filed
with honey. 1t can be taken of, the
combs cut out, the honey extracted,
the old combs melted into beeswax
and the old hive cut up into kindling
wood. / am trying some this way
now aud find it the most satisfactory
method OF all, getting more honey and
wax and keeping down the increase.

They Accept the Challenge.

Columbus, Feb. 4..The threat of the
Akron saloonkeepers to close all the
saloons of that city has called forth a
challenge from the Ohio Anti-Saloon
league which says: "We recognize
this as an old bluff of the Liquor
league, often threatened but never car
ried out, believing if Akron were real
ly to have two years of no saloons she
would never permit their return" The
league agrees if the saloonists make
good their threat to raise one-half the
money to indemnify the idle saloon
keepers and to give the very best secur-
ity from among the business men of
Akron.
