Cattle feeding at the rack settle
down at once and feed as quietly

are prepared to dehorn their own cat
tie, having the work done by men of
experience and equipments prepared
for the operation. Any farmer can
dehorn his herd at little or no ex-
pense. saving the fee Of 30 cents to
one dollar per head. I have dehorned
hundreds Of cattle with saw and clip
per without single unfavorable re-
suit. I have a chute made with a
good strong frame bolted together,
made of timbers four inches square
The chute is five feet long, five and
one-half feet wide, and two and one
half feet high
At one end there Is a stout stanch-
ion fixed in the frame. in which the
animal is held securely while the work
Of dehorning is being done. BY rails

allowed to pass out through the chute,

dehorning must be sharp and should

nevertheless, quickly done, and with

HIGH SCHOOL.


We are glad to say that this high
school in general holds optimism" to be
one of the things which really pay in
this life. During this pleasant spring
weather the cloudy faces have been few
in the school room and instead of get
ting the proverbial Spring fever" we
have applied ourselves gently to our
work, being thankful for such inspiring
weather is at least in the Custer high
school, conductive to keeping our stand
ard high and also coming up to that
standard. AS yet we have lost no pupils
from the spring fever and we hope that
all will stick to their work and let the
last day find them standing triumphant
at the top of the mountain above the
clouds and storms.
The games are again enjoyed ASPIRING
approaches. Marbles, croquet and lump
ing rope are doing their part to add to
the happiness OF school.
The Opus Literary Chapter have an
other program ready to be given on Fri
day, March 25th. We hope this n will
be as good as and better than the last
two which have shown a great improve
ment on the part Of some. .
The algebra class has finished radical
equations and taken up quadratics but
they find that they have some studying
to do to keep up the grades.

Caesar but sometimes u low grade has to
be put down.

studying Lowell aud Whittier Now
they are reading Whittier's masterpiece,

The rhetoric class has been having
rather heavy work this week but it is
the things that puzzle the brain, that
makes the gray matter.
The geometry class is now working on
the originals of Book V. We hope to
finish the book in time to take a
thorough review of the work passed over
during both terms but the originals are
very difficult.

do 1t Today"

The time-worn injunction, "Never put
off til tomorrow what you can do to-
day." is now generally presented in this
form: "Do it to-day" That is the terse
advice we want to give you about that
hacking cough or demoralizing cold with
which you have been struggling for sew
eral days, perhaps weeks. Take some
reliable remedy for it ~today-and let
that remedy be DR.. BoSchee's German
Syrup, which has been in use for over
thirty. five years. A few doses of it will
undoubtedly relieve your cough or cold,
and its continued use for a few days will
cure you completely. No matter how
deep-seated your cough, even if dread
consumption has attacked your lungs
German Syrup will surely effect a cure
as it has done before in thousands of APP
psrently hopeless cases of lung trouble.
