The Dogs;
DehOrn The Cows

EDITOR
Theruling outof the COW would
be burdensome to some people
who have hard enough time of
it anyhow. Moreover milk is
wholesome and better for child
rem than nothing but pork. But
if the COW cannot be ruled out the
horns can. Get an instrument
called a dehorner and have some
one that knows, go round town
and cut off the horns. But not
till cool weather. In the north,
horned cattle has become rare.
The advantage of having them
without is so great that the horns
simply had to go.
Calves can be dehorned when
a couple of days old by rubbing
the skin over the horns with a
moistened stick of potash till it
takes effect, cannot touch it with
bare fingers. Have dehorned
dozens of calves that way. Get
a mulish bull and breed hornless
cattle.
While looking out for cattle,
look out for hogs also, they are
very fond of babies. Dehornine
will not entirely do away with
danger. An enraged animal may
do harm even then, but it will dc
so quite nearly,

right to keep them in unreasonable

Both decisions may be set down
among the curiosities of legal wisdom
with the decision that pigeons are not
domestic animals, that frogs are fish
and that horses are cattle. 1t has at

worth handsome fortune every year.

GERMANS NOT OFFENDED
Over Admiral Dewey's Recently Pub.
lished Interview.

Berlin. March 31.-The first disap-
polntment over President Roosevelt's S
answer, declining the kaiser's invl-
tation to send the American squadron
to Kiel and Admiral Dewey's interview
has been followed by sober after
thought.
That the German government does
not intend TO have the friendly inter-
course and feeling existing between
it and the Washington government in
terfered with by Admiral Dewey's re-
marks or other things, is shown by
the following editorial OF the Post
evidently inspired by the government:
The American navel men would
have been interested in the workings
and the ships of the German navy, and
We too, could learn a good deal from
the young nation striving upward so
nightly. A great deal more is
learned through personal intercourse
and seeing things than there is
through the most vivid reports and
descriptions.
"It is to be hoped that in the mat
ter of the American fleets visit it is
postponed and not abandoned. Per
haps both peoples will later have a
chance to make up in maritime tech
nique what is denied them at pres
ent. owing to many circumstances.
We should have been but too glad
to have shown our friendly hosts a
sample of German hospitality, but
we can appreciate that the American
fleet when coming across the ocean
could not well refuse invitations ex-
tended from other countries and that
such an inevitable extensive guest
trip may not be desired for America
at present"
