Dellorning Steers,


NJ. B. Pulliam returned Friday
from his ranch on North Concho
where for the past ten DAYS the
men have been busy dehorning
steers. Up-to-date they have de-
horned 030 steers and are still
at work with some 300 or 400
more critters whose horns will be
Topped off.
In conversation with q Press
representative, Mr.. Pulliam said
he now had some 1000 dehorned
steers. His son, Tom, is dehorn-
ing also. Mr.. Pulliam is n thor
ough believer in the advantages
to be derived from dehorning cat
tie and contends that it is the
most wise and rational course for
the cattleman to pursue.
Il believe it best TO dehorn
steers" said MIR. Pulliam, "be-
cause they fatten quicker when de-
horned, grow bulkier and heavier
than the horned cattle and are
more thrifty. Besides that, they
can not hook and horn each other
and so iniure themselves and
other cattle. In feeding them at
feed trough, you can get so de-
horned steers at a trough where
only 10 horned cattle could feed.
More dehorned steers can be ship
ped in n car and, all in all, they
bring the cattleman 20 to % cents
hundred more on the market.
We are the only people in the
country who are dehorning to any
extent, but will continue until all
our steers are dehorned."
When asked if he would dehorn
his COWS, ooh, COWS are too cheap
now to go to the trouble of de-
horning them" said Mr.. Pulliam.

said.

PENSIONS REACH
The HIGHEST POINT
ARE EXPECTED TO RECEDE.
NO INCREASE IN THE APPRoPRIA.
TION ASKED.

Commissioner Lindsay Wants SS70,-
900 for His Pension Lists--This Is
the Amount Appropriated for
1903 and 1904 - Commissioner
Lindsay Recommends the Quarter
ly Payment of Pensions by the
state-wOuId De an Advantage.
Atlanta, June 15.-According to the
annual report of Pension Commission
er j. w. Lindsay, which was COM
pleted to-day it appears that Georgia s
pension rolls have reached high water
mark, and that decrease in the num-
Der Of pensioners and the amounts to
be paid will soon begin.
The best evidence of this fact is that
Commissioner Lindsay asks for no
more money for 1906 than was appro-
900, divided as follows; For INDECENT
soldiers, SALE, 900; increase of $1,000 over
1904; for widows, old class, $165, 900;
decrease of $4,000; for INDECENT widows,
$4,000, an increase of $4,000; for dis
abled soldiers, $170,000 a decrease of
$500 as compared with 1904.
In 1903 surplus of $15,5S5 was turn
ed back into the treasury; the sur
plus in 1904 was $2,240, but $1,000 Of
the pension fund went to pay the eX-
penses of the Roster Commission, which
has already aided the pension depart
ment in detecting several frauds.
The number of pensioners paid in
1904 was IA 604 a net increase of only
seventy-nine over 1893
The point has evidently been reached
where the losses from the rolls by
deaths and other causes now counter
balances the increase by new applica-
tions, and it is believed the rolls will
begin to decrease next year.
In his report, Commissioner Lindsay
recommends quarterly payments of
pensioners, which he considers would
be of great advantage to the state.
