CUTTING ELEPHANTS coRNs.
A Job That Must Be Approached eau.
tiously Until Understood.
From the Denver Post.

From the Denver Post.
Elephants have tender feet. Their nails
have to be pared and treated constantly or
they will grow inches of hangnails. They
are terribly sensitive about this part of
their body and at times will get crazy mad
II touched with a knife or saw. A horse
has to have his feet trimmed when he goes
to smith, and an elephant wears down
his toes, but he does not get enough exer-
else for that here. SO his feet get tremen-
dous corns and have TO be pared
When an elephant has gone through the
operation few times, with the intelligence
of his kind he senses it for his good and
will submit readily. The hangnails are
clipped with pair of big shears, and then
the toes are worked upon with a rasp espe-
cially made for the purpose for an hour or
two.
Then comes the ticklish part A large
drawknife is used to cut a couple of inches
off the sole of each foot. When 1t is cut
down pretty fine the rasp is used Every
little while the surface is pressed hard with
the thumb, and when the elephant winces
the quick is known to be near and the work
stopped. A single rasp on the quick and
the elephant is killing mad.
There is one elephant in the Ringing
herd so tender on her feet and so nervous
that so far it has been impossible to treat
her feet 1t was tried week ago and
she nearly killed the chiropodist at the first
rasp. She needs attention badly. but she
doesn't appreciate the fine points of pedi-
cure and she thinks it is up to her to kill
all who try it. She will not lie down when
told to and will not stay there when she
is put there. She utterly refuses to put
her feet on the block and she gets fright
ened to death when tied. Her keeper says
he will fix her this week and cut her corns
and rasp and brush her nails if he has to
call out the militia and her howls are heard
in Honolulu.
After the corns are cut and nails pared
the feet are soaked in hot water and then
softened with OIL After that they feel as
comfortable as though wearing carpet slip
pers. But the feet must not be oiled ex-
cept in warm weather. Elephants get cold
easily. They have rheumatism. too, the
worst way, and II takes liniment by the
barrel to rub their lame muscles.
