FOR FARMERS AND DAIRYnEN
Calves Can Now be Dehorned Without
pain-Litile Expense

Calves in the dairy herd of the college
of agriculture, university of Wisconsin,
have been dehorned by the use of caus-
tic potash for several years, and it has
been demonstrated that this treatment
is successful when properly managed.
The method of procedure as described
by Prof. G. c. Humphrey, head of the
animal husbandry department. is as fol-
lows:
The potash shoul be applied as soon
as the button like" holTs can be felt,
after the calf is three lays old. If
postponed the operation mSy give un-
satisfactory results. To apply the po-
tash, the hair is removed from about
the horns close to the skin. The po-
tash is moistened slightly and rubbed
over the skin which covers the point of
the horns until the skin is white
1t is not necessary to rub he skin
until blood comes, as this will cause un-
necessary soreness. Onc such treat
ment is usually sufficient to prevent the
growth of the horns.
The following precautions should be
taken: the caustic should be wrapped
in heavy papers to protect the hands of
the operator; the caustic should not be
moistened too much, so that the liquid
will run down the side of the calf's
head, for this will cause unnecessary
pain; the calf must be securely fasten-
ed so that the head may be held still to
avoid applying the caustic anywhere
except over the horns. One stick of
caustic potash, il preserved in tightly
corked bottle, will serve to dehorn many
calves.

WEATHER RETARDS PROGRESS
Plant Beds Make a Poor Showing Hot
Wave Crying Necessity

Work by the sorting crew is Just
about wound up at the Bekkedal ware
house, another day or so being all that
is necessary. The day crew will be
employed for some time yet. At the
Equity house sorting will be resumed a
week from next Monday and continue
until allpledged tobacco isput in shape.
The past week has sent plant beds
forward to some extent, but with rare
exceptions they are at least ten days
slow. Plants in glass-covered beds are
nearer what they should be at this time.
Not much fear is felt, however,
that plants will not be far enough ad-
vanced by the time the grounds are
ready to receive them.
Edgerton Tobacco Reporter: Aside
from the gathering in of a few strag-
Cling lots there seems to be practically
nothing doing towards lifting the re-
naming fraction of the 1908 crop.
Warehouse handling is yet progressing
at few of the packing points and is
likely to continue until stripping is
started later.
The market for old leaf is developing
some encouraging features. There is a
better inquiry for samples, and some
transactions have taken place and a
number of trades are under consider
alton that may lead to fair-sized deals
A 250-case lot of '07 at GAINESVILLE has
changed hands as well as 200-ease lot
among local packers the past week.
The plant beds have been making
some progress during the week, though
the weather is yet too cool for rapid
growth. The plants on the early sown
beds where properly protected seem to
De showing up well. A few reports of
damage from the freeze are heard,
though it is not believed the injury was
general. The season, however, is so
late that growers think there is time
yet for the beds to be in readiness for
the fields later on
