Dehorning Cattle.

J. IL NIeacham. Hackneyville. Ala
Please tell me whether there Is any
practical good In dehornng cattle or not.
When they are crowded in a close pen
they are constantly goring each other.
Is there any danger In taking their horns
off?
AnSwer--Cattlemen and dairymen are
pretty generally agreed that il is advisa-
BILE to dehorn beef cattle as we'll as milch
cows This operation is especially desira-
BILE when a considerable number are herd
ed together in pens or shipped aboard
cars The operation is simple and easily
performed when properly fixed for it.
Scarcely l per cent of animals dehorned
are lost or seriously injured in health by
the operation. Send TO Georgia Expert

ACCEPTING HARRIsON's VIEW.

commanding voice when we are told
that the shibboleths of American liberty
do not mean what they meant at the
beginning of the century, and when it is
taught in high places that principles
which were pregnant with patriotism as
asserted against Great Britain are mere
bubbles of rhetoric if quoted against
ourselves. President Harrison says that
the provisions our fathers fought for
were rights, mot privileges" and he
rejects the opportunist idea that the flag
shall stand in the new possessions only
for commercial benefits and for the
benevolent policies" of the administra-
tion, however benign they may be. No
one can dispassionately read the address
and still believe that our century old
maxims as to the "rights of man" are
idle babble.--Philadelph Ledger (rep)
MIR. Harrison has just returned from
Washington. While there, two dinners
were given in his honor by judges of
the supreme court He was much with
them. Very soon they are to decide
this great constitutional question. They
are considering it now. Knowing Har
rison as we do, we are quite sure that
he would not publicly lay down this
opinion of constitutional law if he had
reason to think that soon the supreme
court will decide the other way. He
might still have the same opinion, but
he would not openly put himself in
antagonism to the supreme court Let
us hope that it's opinion will agree with
his. 1t will be the shortest and best way
out of very bad situation, give to the
Philippines their independence, and put
an end to this syndicating colony busi
ness, which is obnoxious to our institu-
tions. Boston Evening Record (rep)
Ex.President Harrison's clear and
comprehensive statement of the case
will have great weight in determining
opinion that has been in suspension, and
will be a potent influence upon the
future course of the republican party,
which has arrived at the parting of the
ways and must choose which road it
will take-the path of plain duty and
loyalty to American ideals, or the other
road to imperialism and tyranny
Philadelphia North American (rep.).
Ex.President Harrison's address, de.
livered to the students of the Univer-
sity of Michigan on Friday last, was the
most significant of the many recent
proofs of the recovery of the American
people from the intoxication caused by
their easy victory over a second class
military and naval power. It is not
very long since it was regarded as little
short of treason for anybody to express
doubt that this nation had suddenly

the blossoms have not been sprayed it is
now impossible to get any fluid into the
cavity, and the work of spraying the
apples after the closing of the calyx
lobes is labor lost Hence the necessity
for spraying the blossoms within week
after the falling of the petals. The
developing fruit must be carefully
watched the falling of the petals is a
sign that it is almost time to begin
spraying, and the closing of the blossom
end must stop all spraying. One or two
thorough sprayings are sufficient unless
it rain within twenty four hours after
the work. There is no danger from
poisoning the fruit by spraying. The
quantity of poison which lodges in the
blossom end, while sufficient to kill the
little worm, is infinitesimal, and tests
have shown that before the apple has
matured, wind and rain have removed
from it all traces of the Paris green.
Orchards Can be Cleaned of 1t.
The apple worm-or, rather, the
codling moth, it's parents not migra-
tory insect. Once eradicated from an
orchard, it is gone never to return, unless
it may come in barrels of apples shipped
in from abroad. In that case, by placing
the apples in storage in a cellar, where
every exit is carefully screened, the
moths which come out in the spring will

worm can be rooted out. With the trees
sprayed in the spring many of the first
brood are killed ard the number of the
more destructive second brood is re-
duced. Eventually the apple worm goes
for good.
Below are given the results attained
by some fruit growers, who experimental
with the spray last summer. 1t will be
noticed that some of them experimental
upon fruits other than the apple, but
these were side issues. The real fight
was against the worm on it's native
heath-in the apple.

when the work was done. He reports,
however, that while there was no
appreciable difference in the size of the
yield, the fruit on the sprayed trees was
much superior in quality to that on the

the worms.
