Passing of Horned Cattle.

Horned cattle and horned sheep are
rapidly disappearing. Many of the
cattle bred and fed In the corn belt
are hornless. Breeds of this kind are
growing in popularity. In the noun
famous country and on the plains
wild cattle needed long horns for the
protection of themselves and their
young, Now, however, with the plains
thickly settled and with few wild ami
mails the cattle do not need horns.
Among the hornless breeds are the
Galloway, Angus. Red Poll and Polled
Shorthorns. Polled Jersey and Polled
Hereford are also coming into favor
BY the application of caustic potash
the growth of the horns is prevented
in the young calf-Inter Ocean.

Sulphur Fumigation.

1t takes some ingenuity to burn sui
phur in a vessel as 1t tends to smoth-
er flames. If several pounds are to
be burned, a fire of cobs or sticks
soaked with kerosene must be built
above the sulphur and kept burning
until you see the blue fame of the
sulphur licking up through the wood
blaze.
One way to disinfect the poultry
house with sulphur is to dissolve one
half pint of turpentine and one-half
pint Of tar in one-half gallon of kero-
sene. Soak corncobs in this solution,
and when ready to burn out the poul.
try house for lice or germs Of disease
have ready sharp-pointed piece of
iron to thrust in the ends Of the cobs,
set lighted match to 1t and while
1t burns pass the cob over the roosts,

where about 1t. This should be done

Cows Giving Down Milk.
John Burrows, the well-known scien-
list, In regard to COWS giving down
their milk says: Many persons think
that giving down or holding up the
milk by the COW is a voluntary act.
In fact, they fancy the udder as a
vessel filed with milk, and that the
COW releases or withholds 1t just as
she chooses. But the udder is a
mandatory; 1t is filled with blood,
from which the milk is manufactured
while you milk. This process is con-
trolled by the cows nervous system.
When she is excited or in any way
disturbed, as by strangers or by TAX
ing away her calf or any other cause,
the process is arrested and the milk
will not flow. The nervous energy
goes elsewhere. The whole process is
as involuntary as is digestion in man
and Is disturbed or arrested In about
the same way.
