A common method now to do away
with the horns is. to prevent their
growth by the use of chemicals on the
calf. This seems to have had its be
ginning about the year 1890, and imme'
diately grew into favor. 1t is quickly
and easily done; it is comparatively
painless. causes no nervous shock,
and it is done at time when there
is no milk flow to injure. The ordin'
airy method is to use stick OF caustlc
soda or caustic potash when the put
ton or small horn can first be felt, clip
the hair from over the button with
pair of scissors, wet the end OF the
stick of caustic with saliva, and ruD
the skin over the horn vigorously. Tne
operation requires apout two minutes.
The work can be done very easily by
one man; in fact, as easily as two can
do it. The best age at which to per-
form this operation is as soon as the
button of the young horn can be felt
with the finger. This is usually when
the calf is about week old. But 1T
can be done with perfect success up
until the time the calf is a month
old or even older, If the operator Is
careful to make a thorough applica-
| ton.
II is better to use the caustic on
the calves when they are young
| enough to insure that the operation
will be effective, and this age is from
three days to three weeks. AS II
would save time and material to oper'
ate ON a number of calves at the same
time it might be well to allow the
/ first calves to reach the limit OF age

 The sudden passing away of Major Y. Att water Barnes creates q vacancy in this Board which we sincerely deplore.
 For more than thirty years he had been a member of the Institute and was one of it's Directors for more than twenty years of that period. He served as secretary for three years, and as president for three years, during which time he made q careful study of modern literary methods. He was insjiumeLtui in securing the services of CUT present trained hlral'an, and rejoiced in oul steady growth and improvement.
 For some years he has served as me of the -hree Trustees or the Institute build ing, and year ego he generously cancelled n large portion of the amount we then owed hill.
