Horns on Ent Cattle.

Some time ago Farming stated that
horns on Il steer meant a reduction Of
80 cents per hundredweight in the price
in market. \ correspondent assumes
TO correct this statement and says:
The simple presence or absence Of
horns on a prime steer does not affect
his value materially, nor is any atten-
ton paid 10 this point by buyers of fat
cattle If one We're buying feeding cat
tie To- finish. dehorned ones are more
desirable than horned cattle, especially
when they are To run loose in large
droves-that Is. not stall fed" Both
wrong, according to our experience.
We have seen tho presence of horns on
a carload Of fat steers knock consider
able Off their value, but not 30 cents
per hundredweight. The fact Is that
killers who have to ship their stock
away from the yards want hornless cat
tie. and those who kill right there find
fewer bruises among such cattle The
hornless steer has very decided adj
vantage for both feeders and slaughter
ers. Buyers pay good deal of atten-
ton to this point here at Pittsburg.-

which readily pass into the milk. The

LOSS IN POTATO CROP.
Spraying as n Preventive of Late
Blight and Rot.

AS the country becomes older para
site diseases and insects multiply.
While i'm the great potato lands of the
west the plant grows luxurlantly and
may be but little injured by blight or
insects. in some other sections these
often cause the loss of one-half of
what the land would produce without
them. and farmers have become SO
used to this loss that they do not see
the damage and count this half crop a
full crop. The accompanying cut aft
or Coburn) shows an entire healthy
potato plant. When one recalls In COM
parison with this the plants so often
seen rddled by flea beetles, eaten by
bugs, blighted by fungous diseases, the
great lesSening of the crop is made
more apparent. Late blight is the last
enemy of the season to be reckoned
with
one of the most serious results of
the late blight is the decay of the tu-
bers following an attack of this dis
ease. The rotting begins before the
potatoes are dug and may continue
after they are stored. The early blight
is not associated with rotting of the
potatoes.
From observations made at the Ohio
experiment station it would seem that
little can be done in the way of over
coming this disease by the selection of
varieties or hills. as compared with
what may be accomplished in the case
of the early blight. Spraying howev-
or. is much more effective in lessening
the damage from the late than from
the early blight.
The station reports that in 1905 on
plots that had already been sprayed

SPIKED HALTER IN PLACE.

spikes are secured. The spikes sA- ID
not be over two inches long. They are
best made of wrought nails, but good
wire nail with a fiat head will suffice.
The nails may be placed in an iron
wise and the heads flattened as much
as possible. They are then driven into
a piece of thick leather and secured by
sewing or riveting it upon another
piece of leather, as shown in the cut.
An old halter can be used TO good
advantage. First drive the spikes in
the nose piece as desired; then sew or
rlvet a piece of leather over the heads
of the nails.
