DEHORNING
OF CATTLE.

In a report of the bureau of ami
mai industry Richard W. Hickman.
V. Nj. D.. chief Of the quarantine div
sion. says OF dehorning cattle:
The dehorning of partly developed
and adult cattle can be very satistac-
loril.y performed without other appara-
tus or Instruments than IA good, strong
clothesline and a clean, sharp meat
saw or a inter saw with a rigid back
The same simple means for controlling
the animal are just as applicable when
the dehorning knife is 10 be used as
when the horns are to be removed
with the saw. This consists in secur-
ing the head Of the animal to the hori-
zontal rail or s~tringpiece which holds
the upper ends of the s%tanchion boards.
The animal is put to the stanchion in
the usual manner. Then one end of IL
heavy clothesline is passed around the
upper part of the neck II tied in a
knot that will not slip; otherwise it
Will choke the animal. The free end
Of the rope is now carried between the
horns. through the stanchion. to the
front. up and owe the horizontal
s%tanchion rail, then down underneath
the neck and up and over the top of
the stanchion rail to an assistant. who
should hold it firmly. Now release the
%stanchion. allowing the animal to with,
draw its head. 80 that the horns are
Just inside of the stanchion rail or
stringpiece. Then. keeping the rope
tight. pass 1t c around the muZZle
up and owe the stanchion rail and
through to the front again to the hands
OF the assistant. who should stand three
or four feet in front Of the animal and
hold the rope firmly, but prepared tc
release it when told to do SO by the
operator. The animal is now ready
for the dehorning operation.
1t is necessary that the rope be held
by An assistant, as in the event Of the

there appears to be danger Of it's chok

POINTS FOR
THE HORSEMAN.

Concerning brood mares, there is no
danger of working them in foal provid-
ed they are properly handled, says a
writer in the Breeders Gazette, Chica-
20. A mare will be better If worked and
will produce more vigorous foals. How
ever Judgment should be exercised in
working mares heavy in foal. They
should not be required to haul heavy
loads over muddy roads or work in
the field where they would be required
to turn in soft. mucky ground, as they
might strain themselves and cause Sc
rious injury. The man who uses
thar one team on his farm can easily
give the lighter work to the mares III
foal and in his manner get Substan-
italy the same work out of them as
any other team.
1t is not a good plan to turn mares
in the pasture with other horses when
heavy in foal unless they are known to
get along with them. A kick may Kill
a colt. Brood mares need about the
same feed as other horses, bu when
nearing foaling time it is better not
to feed much corn or other beating
food. Many think mares when at
work. as well as other horses. should

tratiOn show the animal and the CD
orator in position for the dehorning
operation by this method. 1t is a good
plan before commencing the real work
to experiment upon an animal in the
matter of control by %snubbing the head
to the stanchion rail as described.
If the stanchion rail is too wide to
permit Of properly securing the lower
part as well as the upper part Of the
around the muZzle may be omitted and
the last lap Of the rope carried around
the stanchion rail to the front and to
the hands of the assistant. The rope
should pass each time over the neck of
the animal to the stanchion rail, so
hat the laps are between the horns.
in order that the rope may not inter
fere with the work Of the saw.
1t is not usual to apply any prepare
ton after the operation of d%ehorning
to prevent bleeding, as the loss Of
blood is not sufficient. as a rule, to be
of consequence. Care should be taken,
however. to prevent substances from
getting into the openings left after the
horns are removed. The horn cores
are elongations of the frontal bones Of
the skull and are hollow. They com
municate with the frontal sinuses, or
air spaces, Of the head. Therefore
substances which would act as an ir-
ritant in these cavities are apt to set up
an inflammation, resulting in the for
nation Of pus or an abscess. which
may prove quite serious. Fragments
of horn detached in the process of de-
horning would serve as such irritant
and by their presence in these cavities
cause Inflammation.
If the animals are dehorned when
the flies are about. it is well to apply
some pine tar with a view to keeping
ators do this in nearly all cases, think
ing that it facilitates healing. The de
horning operation should always when
possible be performed in cool weather
and upon animals which have at least
attained the age of two years.
Inquiries are frequently received as
to whether the operation is painful
and whether it may not be classed as
cruelty to animals, Those who have
had extensive experience in dehorning
appear to agree that the pain induced
by the operation has been greatly e
estimated. as careful observation has
shown that shrinkage in the milk yield
following the dehorning of cows as
well as the decrease in the butter fat
yield are very temporary and insignifi-
cant. On the other hand, the worry,
pain and cruelty often inflicted by cat
tie upon their mates before being de-
prived of their horns is much more to
be considered.

FEEDING the Calf.

The aim in calf feeding should al
ways be to prevent scours, II this
is one of the things which should be
watched closely. This ailment in skim
milk calves is the result of Indigestion
brought on, as a rule, by overfeeding,
hut also by feeding skimmilk in poor
condition and from dirty pals. Every
feeder Of skimmilk to calves must soon
er or later learn this lesson. He must
learn that if the calf has scours the
feeder is not doing his work right. In
the case of scours reform Your system
of feeding instead of purchasing the
many remedies advertised, and in
dairy farming one of the important
qualifications is the learning not only
Of making but of saving money.
There are numerous and most excel
lent home remedies for scours. and l
do not venture a recommendation. In
our experience of rearing several hun
dred pure bred calves we nave not had
to exceed a dozen cases of scours, and
these were in our early experience.
One or two raw eggs broken into a
calls mouth have cured such cases.

Points For the Shepherd.

Oats, wheat bran. linseed meal, clo-
yer hay and root are the best foods
for breeding ewes.
No young animal will attain to as
good results as the one literally fed.
This applies to lambs as well as other
animals.
Sheep are dainty feeders. They will
not eat hay that other creatures have
mussed over. They refuse grain taken
from a ratty crib.
An excellent plan in handling sheep
Is to provide well protected yards into
which they may be turned on fine
days and have a shed for the stormy,
blustery weather.
Put the unthrifty appearing ewes by
themselves and give a little extra feed
Perhaps they are suffering from the
greed Of the bosses in the flock and
are not getting a full ration.

Damp Stables.

Damp stables are caused by a lack
Of sufficient circulation of air to take
up the moisture. When the barber
wishes to dry your face quickly he
uses a fan to circulate the air about
your face and thus take up the mois-
ture. Every COW is throwing off from
seven to ten pounds of water every
twenty-four hours. 1t will condense
on cold walls unless sufficient fresh air
is circulated through the stable and
often enough to dry ii up. There is
no other way to take up this moisture
or prevent 1t. In regard to the tenn
perature Of a able, keep it at so to So
degrees. But in all these things a
stable must be properly ventilated.

instructions were carefully carried out.
l always give my ewes a dipping in
the fall before they are to drop lambs
in order to have them free from any
parasites, so that the young lambs will
o be bothered with them. But in
case the lambs do need dipping I
think they should not be dipped too
young. However, l do not hesitate
about dipping mine when they are five

will pass to the lambs. Then by dip

The grading of the flock is even more
