cessful and no serious results followed
1t required considerable time and was
evidently quite painful to the animal.
Later a pair of clippers were Sc
cured and three cows and one bull
were dishorned. 1t required but n sec
ond to remove horn after the clip
pers were placed over II. and the whole
time required fer operating on a sim
gle animal did not exceed more than
four or five inmates, except In case of
the bull, where greater precaution was
taken to make TIE animal secure.
All the wounds bled ut the time of
the operation, hut not to such an ex-
tent as to cause the animals to show
signs Of weakness. I hey did not ap-
pear to be In mach pain except Mt 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 a day, but her usual appetite soon
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 rapidly 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 molstened 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 n few days old. In our
experiments six calves have been treat
ed. Their ages ranged from to Is
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 effectual even
on the eighteenth day.

MISSING BOY is FOUND.
Willie Mccormick Was Drowned In
CromyelI's Creek

Willie McCormick's body was found
IN Friday afternoon i'll Cromwelfs
creek at One Hundred and Sixty-first
street and Railroad avenue. New York
city. only few blocks away from the
home OF the boys parents in High
bridge.
The body was discovered by two
boys who were playing on the banks of
the creek. They notified n policeman,
and he recognized the body ut once as
that of Willie Mccormick. The body
was In such state that the features
were unacceptable, but the policeman
ing boy from the clothing in which II
was dressed. The policeman notified
the Mccormick family. and the father
of the drowned hoy and Miss Margaret
Mccormick. q sister of the boy, identi-
fed the body.
1t was on March 81 that Willie Nc
Cormick, 10 years old. disappeared. He
started from his home on Ogden ave-
nue., Highbridge. a little after o'clock
in the evening to go to a church not far
away and was never seen alive again.
His disappearance was reported TO the
police just before midnight that night,
a general alarm was sent out, and from
that day. to this many false clews were
followed and false identifications were
sent in.
Kidnapers were held to account for
the mystery, and the theory was helped
at first by an alleged letter from kid
naper received on April 2 demanding
money. Gypsies arrested in Washing
ton were thought for time to know
something about the case. Rewards
amounting to $4,000 We're offered for
the recovery of the boy by a neighbor
and by NJ. G. Mccormick, the boys I'M
Gle. Pat Sheedy took a hand in the
matter and offered to do what he could
to clear the mystery.
AS late as this week persons In this
city and out of town reported that they
were sure that they had seen the boy
recently on cars or in other public
places. Hundreds of letters were re-
ceived by the afflicted family, showing
that the public sympathy was generally
aroused

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
How, to Trent wounds and Burns
Notes of Interest.

Notes of Interest.
Fer burn nothing is better than a
quick application of dry baking soda
mot washing Soda sprinkled thickly
over the wound. If one has blistered
finger, soft linen bandage kept satu-
rated with per cent solution Of car
bolic acid will take the fire OUT and
prevent sore and the consequent scar.
A per cent solution of earbolic acid is,
in fact, an excellent wash for any
wound.
An ordinary bruise may be kept from
discoloring by bathing 1t Immediately
with cloths wrung out of hot water,
and hot water bag kept on a bad
bruise will prevent the usual lameness
and stiffness.
An old sponge may he cleansed by
covering 1t with milk and letting IL lie
for "a hours and then washing 1t thor
oughly In soap and water.
A pastry bag is an essential In every
kitchen. and with a little practice 1t
will be found easy to use II and obtain
pretty shapes of whipped cream, frost
ing, etc. To make pastry bag fold q
piece Of strong cotton cloth about -
inches square diagonally so as to obtain
triangle. Sew the two edges ON one
side together. Cut an opening at the
point just large enough TO allow for the
Insertion of tin tube. Tubes of diff
ferent sizes may be obtained. Those
for frosting are the smallest; for whip
ped cream larger. To use the bag fill
1t with the desired mixture and gather
the cloth together at the top, holding il
firmly with tie left hand. Hold the
end of the tube close TO the article
which is to be filed and press the mix
ture out with the left hand.
Sprays OF nasturtium vines may not
only be kept green all winter, but will
frequently bloom If kept in n vase or
bowl Of water. The water will need re-
newlng only occasionally II a piece of
charcoal is kept In Ii. English Ivy
vines may be kept in the same way and
will give an acceptable touch OF green
without the trouble of a potted plant.
Two or three pots of parsley growing
In sunny kitchen window will not on
ly give an air OF cheer to the room, but
will provide flavor for soups and sauces
as well as crisp, fresh furnishings for
other dishes.
The flavor of turnips, cabbages and
other strong vegetables is improved
sometimes by changing the water In
which they are boiled.

DISCERNING CATTLE.

FolIow-Potash Method.

Dishorning has rapidly grown in IA

the present time it is commonly prac-
