A Novel Method OF Dehorning

Carl Mueller, a farmer living near
Runge,, Texas, has been using an mex.
pensive method OF preventing the
horns from growing on calves. His
method is about as follows: He mixes
enough water with concentrated lye to
form a thick paste and applies this
paste. with any sort Of convenient
means, to spot about the size Of a dime
where the horns should grow, taking
the calf when it is about three or four
days old. One application Of the paste
is sufficient, aud care should be taken
during rainy weather that the calves
are not left in the rain, as the lye solu.

taxes. The result is that at the close Of
businee on May -, 1902, there was an out
standing Indebtedness Of the State,
amounting to $1,9lO, 9O9.OS, and there was
Il balance of uncollected taxes due from
the various counties, to the State, amount
ing to 81, 7S3, 063.O 4.
1t can be seen that if these delinquent
taxes had been paid, there would have
been Il surplus in the treasury of the State
and no outstanding obligations whatever.
While the collections made from Dec.
LIST, 1900 to May Goth, 1902 would indicate
that a portion of these delinquent taxes
were being paid, it can hardly be expected
that enough of these arrearages can be
collected to wipe out the complete indebt-
edness of the State.
We shall try in future articles to show
where this great delinquency in payment
of taxes originates. The first duty of good
citizenship is to pay the tax that is neces-
sary to meet State, County and City ex-
penses. In the long list of delinquent tax
payers, no railroad will be found delin-
quent in payment of any legal taxes, al
though the payment Of taxes in several
instances has practically absorbed all of
the net earnings Of the company for a term
of years.
