SRUTE TO DEHoRN CATTLE.
Without Fear Of Injury to
Man or Beast.

james NJ. Wilson, NJ. S. A., director
OF the South Dakota Experiment sta
ton at Broohngs, in response to a re-
quest for a description of cattle de-
horning shute, answered as follows:
have helped dehorn a good many
cattle. My brother and | worked out
plans for a dehorning rack one day,
which were satisfactory. 1t was so
much of a success that other people
copied it. 1t held the cattle while we
cut off the horns and that was all we
desired. Il cannot give you the exact
dimensions of this dehorning rack but
/ can give you about the dimensions.
1t was eight feet long and about two
feet six inches wide inside. The up
rights on the sides consisted of
three 2X6 and the planks nailed on the
inside were nailed on the edge OF these
upright 2X6 These uprights were
about five feet long For three feet
from the bottom these planks were
nailed close in order to keep their
feet out when they began kicking. At
the lower end of these uprights a space
of six inches was left and in front
a crosspiece of Axe was used on which
to nail the floor. These sides were
bolted 20 this crosspiece in front at
the bottom and also spiked, having the
crosspiece flush with the bottom in
front. We had 2X6 crosspiece edge

SUMMER CARE OF HORSES.

A great many horses are laid up
every summer with sore shoulders.
This can be remedied in very large
measure with sense and care.
A good horse collar is the main part
of the harness and it should be of the
very best kind and fit the animals
neck perfectly.
The collar should be kept clean at
all times and the horses shoulders
we'll washed and brushed daily.
Much dust and dirt arise in the
fields and on the roads during the
warm season, and this is caught and
held on the moist and sweaty shout
ders and collar, there to form hard
Jumps and ridges.
Every time the collar is put on the
horse should be examined for those
Jumps and ridges. If any are found
they should be carefully brushed and
rubbed away
After each days work, especially in
warm weather, battle and clean the
shoulders with a mixture of warm wa
ter, salt and soda.
Hot water is one Of the best-known
natural agents for relieving soreness
due to sprains, bruises and excessive
pressure of the animal body. Salt
and soda are healing and disinfecting
agents.
A little alum and fannie acid, the
juice from the bark or leaves OF oak
or willow trees, will heal and tough
en- the skin and should be applied
with warm water.

wise in the center and 2X6
bottom. A door was made Of 2X6 in
front. This door was swung with big
heavy gate hinges on this Axe at the
bottom. We had regular gate hinges.
They must be strong at this place
In the front on one side another
piece of 2xS long enough to go across
the entrance was bolted with a sim
gle holt and on the other side of the
upright 2X6 a hole was bored in which
we put a piece Of fork handle This
lever was TO catch the cattle by the
head when they came in and at
tempted to get through the shute or
get their heads stuck in front. Now
the door / speak of should be boarded
up, not necessarily solid, with 2X6
about three feet high from the floor
Understand this door falls down in
front when we gee through dehorning
an animal. We had it fastened at the
center of the top. We used a clevis
from thG front Of plow. It answered
the purpose first rate, but a common
hook made Of one-half inch iron and
hooked right over the other 2x6 on top
is handy. This rigging made of this
kind of lumber held the widest Of
steers. After the beast would get it's
head through we would press down on
the lever. That would crowd his head
over to the side of the shute Then
we put a slip moose around his neck
and half hitched it on his nose, and
pulled his head around Ia the other
side Of the rack in front. He was per-
fectly solid. We used a common hand
saw with fine teeth An ordinary meat
saw is as good as anything. After an
animal would get in the rack we would
put a bar across behind him so he
could not get back in case he did not
stick his head through right away and
this bar also prevented any OF the 9th
er cattle following him through the
shute before you got the door up Two

Which is the smallest newspaper in
the British empire? At one time the
distinction belonged to the Echo of the
Mountains, published in a little village
high up in the Australian Alps. This
microscopical weekly was about the
size of a sheet of notepaper Prot
ably the midget OF present day British
journalism is the st. Helena Guardian,
which Is not much larger than sheet
of foolscap The latest issue TO hand
is gravely concerned with the indo-
lence of the youths. Ii seems they
spend most of their time in idleness
or card-playing. This state of things,
the Guardian declares, lis certainly
not a bright outlook for ST. Helena. "
But the lonely little island may take
heart OF grace from the fact that ii is
by no means the only place where
young people loaf and play cards.

NOTES OF THE SHEEP.

The best wool sheep are not the
best mutton and lamb sheep and vice
versa.
It does not pay to keep ewes more
than five years old, unless they have
proven wonderfully prolific.
No matter how much you are offer
ed for them, you can not afford TO
sell your best eve lambs. Keep them
for your own flock.
Troughs for the sheep save lots of
grain. Easy to nail two boards to-
gether in a V with a couple of short
pieces across the ends to keep them
right side UP.
1t is one thing to raise stock and it
is another thing to market them
profitably. Be wise in breeding and
feeding, but be wise also as to mar
ket conditions.

Culture of Corn,

Now a few words in relation to the
profitable production of corn. Do not
undertake to grow corn on a soil that
is not adapted to it. The land should
be at least moderately dry, early and
warm, says the New England Home
stead. The soil should be in good
condition as to fertility Corn is a
rank grower and needs a rich soil. 1t
will make a good use OF farm manure
either plowed under or well narrowed
in on the surface. 1t is also best, we
find, to put a little quick-acting fer
tilizer in the hill or drill when plant
ing TO give the crop an early start.
The land should be we'll prepared pre-
vious to planting and then persistent
cultivation should follow. With these
conditions there Should be no diff
Guilty in growing a large and we'll
developed field of corn, suitable to
husk. Cure or put In the silo for win
ter use. This is in accordance with
our experience and many others.

Parasites on Sheep.

Some writer's claim that sheep
ought not to be pastured on land
more than one year before 1t is
plowed and re-seeded, owing to para
sites, but it has been shown that
sheep have been kept free from para
sites by the use Of tar, turpentine and
salt Bore twoinch holes in pine
log. fill with salt and smear tar
around the top and sheep will tar
their noses while eating salt. Sheep
soon learn to eat tar. One sheep
raiser keeps it mixed with turpentine
and salt where 1t is accessible at all
times. About one-half pint of turpen-
tine to one peck of salt is the proper
ton

Maryland Live Stock Sanitary Board
to investigate Process Said to
lmmunize Swine.

The Maryland Live Stock Sanitary
board proposes TO test the serum rec
commended by the national govern
ment which is said to immunize hogs
against the cholera and which, if as
effective as is claimed, will save the
farmers of Maryland millions of dol
lars, says the Baltimore American.
The serum is produced by the
United States department of agri-
culture and has been tried by its Of
ficers with splendid results in other
portions of the country. This has led
DR.. Mackie, the state veterinarian, to
believe that it might prove success
full in Maryland and he has arranged
to begin the incubation on a farm
in Prince George county at once.
1t is said by the officials of the
board that there is but little more
hog cholera in the state this year than
usual: but the hot season always
brings its loss to the farmers from
this dread disease. Thousands of hogs
die annually from cholera and should
the new serum prove valuable the
saving for Maryland hog-raisers will
mean much to their prosperity
