%Dshornjnu Calves,

1t is becoming an almost universal
practice to dehorn cattle because they
are more easily handled and it pre-
vents them from injuring each other.
1t is no small task to remove the horns
from mature animal; one even breads
taking them from yearlings and two
year-0lds. There is also some danger
of animals bleeding to death or get
ting poisoned by foreign matter lodg-
ing in the wounds 1t is therefore bet
ter to destroy the budding horn a few
days after the calf is born. The hair
is clipped off from around this button
and caustic potash is applied, says
writers in Farmers Advocate. The
stick of potash should be wrapped to
protect the fingers, and then moisten
one end with water and rub over the
button till the skin becomes slightly
sore and the calf shows signs of smart
ing. The person who applies the pot
ash should be careful not to permit
any Of it to run down the calf's face
or get into its eyes, for 1t will destroy
the hair and cause considerable pain
II it gets in the eyes. In few days
scab will form, which will soon dis
appear, and If the work is properly
done no horns will develop. If the
button continues to grow the applica-
ton can be repeated.

Hint on LAYING Out a Suburb.

A striking instance of how the beau
ties of nature may he preserved in the
laying out of Il suburb is shown in the
western part Of Oak Park in the little
street known as EliZab beth court. When
that section Of Chicago first was built
up it contained many fine oak trees,
two of which stood directly in the line
Of the thorQughfare as it was project
ed from North Home avenue to North
kenilworth. The old poem "Woodman,
Spare That Tree" appealed to the own
crs OF the tract, and consequently the
oaks were left standing in the middle
OF the street. the driveways winding
about their bases in the best manner
possible. Since that day the trees have
grown and foui'ished ard lend a UNIQUE
attraction to the neigh Dorhood.

Feed For Next Fall.

Do not overlook providing plenty OF
feed for next fall and winter. Too fire.
quently the farmer does not exercise
the precaution he should to assure the
live stock liberal supply Of the best
feed. Do not depend on a single fed
crop, nor on single planting. Do not
figure on barely feed enough to winter
the stock-figure on having surplus.
Neither is the quantity all to be looked
after. Consider we'll the quality. Con-
slider also we'll the fact that the stock
must be kept growing and in good flesh
and vigorous during the winter. You
lose money, says Farmers Advocate,
when the stock is not growing every
minute.
