time required for operating on sim
gle animal did not exceed more than
four or five minutes, except in case OF
the bull, where greater precaution was
taken to make the animal secure
All the wounds bled at the time of
the operation, but not to such an eA-.
tent as to cause the animals to show
signs of weakness. They did not ap-{
pear to be in much pain except at the
moment the clipper was in process Of
closing. When taken to the stalls aft
er the operation, two of the cows ate,
as though nothing had happened, while
the third refused a part of her feed
for day, but her usual appetite soons
returned. The operation had marked
effect on the 3-year-old bull. Previous
to dishorning he was inclined to be-
ugly, but after the removal of his
horns he was comparatively quiet and.
docile.
The simplest and most humane way
of destroying the horns seems to be to-
prevent them from developing when
the animals are young. This may be
done by the use of caustic potash in the
form of sticks which ranidly DESTROYS,
the skin and other tissues when kept
In contact with them.
The method of applying the potash is
very simple. The hair is clipped away
from the young horn SO that the potash
may come in immediate contact with
the parts to be treated. The stick of
potash is rolled up in a piece of paper.
SO as to leave one end exposed The
exposed end is moistened slightly and
rubbed on the embryo horn for a few
seconds or until the skin begins to-
start, care being taken that the whole
of the border is included in the treat
ment. A surface about three-fourths
of an inch in diameter will cover the.
parts in calves few days old. In our
experiments six calves have been treat
ed. Their ages ranged from 8 to 49,
days.
Healing soon followed the operation,
and smooth polls have resulted in every
case. The best time to apply the pot
ash is between the fifth and tenth days,
although it has proved efectuaI even.
on the eighteenth day.

Sense of Touch In Surgery.

There has been of late more or less
discussion ON the use of antiseptic
gloves. These articles are strongly OBJ
jected to, however, by experienced sur
geons, who claim that the surgeon ac-
quires sense of touch that is of very
great value to him in performing deli
cate and complicated operations So
acute does this become that even the
extent of disease may almost be deter
mined by it. They believe that it is
possible to exercise sufficient care in the
washing of hands and the application
of antiseptics to make such gloves
wholly unnecessary. Be this as it may,
the best surgeons are very reluctant to
adopt anything that interferes with the
delicacy Of handling, which is their
chief pride and upon which to great
extent the safety of the patient depends.

perhaps, on the other hand, we might
equal the exploit of the wild borderers

if for no other reason than for the
good Of the city.
Let this be purely business pro-
position, let no person think for one
minute that there is an ounce of poll
ties in it. In fact, Mr.. Towne has said
that he is out of politics, and that
from now on he intends to devote his
time strictly to business. -.
Mr.. TOWne having served as men,
ber of both houses, will be permitted
on the floor at any time, where the
best work can be done. We will wager
that if he can be engaged, Duluth will
receive the appropriation asked for.
If the city feels that it can not legally
engage MIR. Towne for this purpose,
then let the citizens get together and
do it,. There ought to be a sufficient
number of public spirited citizens i'll
the city to do this much at least.
If the city can secure the appropria,
ton, then the proper thing for the
citizens to do is to join in a concerted
movement for it's securance. The
sooner we get the. money, the cheaper
it will be for the city in the end. The
present ferry across the canal costs
the city about $4,000 a year. The city
engineer estimates that a bridge can
be, built for 100000. In ten years the
cost of the ferry will about equal the
cost of the construction of the bridge:
If the city can secure the $132,000 from
the government, it can build the
bridge and have sufficient left over for
maintenance fer a number of years.
The. money tha tive now spend for the
ferry can then be spent in some other
