Keeping the Horns Off.

For the past fifteen years We havo
had no mature animals on
the place with horns. We
maintain our herd of cows
very largely by raising heifer calves
and with these we make it a univer-
sal practice to prevent the growth of
horns with caustic potash. This is
done usually before the calf is three
weeks old and do not recall now that
we have had single failure. If at
any time mature cows are bought into
the herd, we remove the horns at the
first convenient opportunity. We have
an Ayrshire COW that is dehorned and
an Ayrshire heifer that will be de-
horned soon. The practice of dehorn-
ing is very general among the dairy
men of this state.-H. H. Wing, Pro
lessor of Animal Husbandry, Cornell

sands of cooperative creamer-

Grafton of the creameries themselves,
which will divide up the territory in
such a way that as little work as pos
sible will be required to gather the
milk from any one section. Where
creameries are numerous we believe
it would be good plan to have county
organization of creameries, through
which arrangements could be made
for the gathering of the milk and the
selling Of the finished product. In
stead of single man being sent from
each creamery to negotiate for the

Alexis Piron.

Alexis Piron, native of Dijon, Is
perhaps most notorious for his cpl
taph. Here lies Piron, who was
nothing-not even an academician. y
One night he was asked at party
if he could tell the difference between
a woman and a mirror. "a woman,
he replied, talks without rejecting;
a mirror reflects without talking.
Upon this a lady asked, Can you
now, M. Piron, tell me the difference
between a man and a mirror" And
as M. Piron remained silent she went
on, "a mirror is always polished,
while a man sometimes is not"
