tration shows the animal and the OPP
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 ths
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
animals head, the turn of the rope
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 staEchiCn rail, so
that the laps are between the horns
in order that the rope may not inter
fere with the work Cf the saw.
1t IS not usual to apply any prepara-
tiOn after the operation of dehorning
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 we'll to apply
some pine tar with view to keeping
the flies from the wounds. Some oper-
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 az
cruelty to animals. Those who have
had extensive experience in dehorning
appear TO agree that the pain induced
by the operation has been greatly over
estimated, as careful observation has
shown that shriDkage in the milk yield
following the dehorning of cows as
well as the decrease In the butter fat
yield are very temporary and insignif-
cant. On the other hand, the worry,
Iain and cruelty often inflicted by

ing the head of the animal TO the horl'
zontal rail or stringpiece which holds
the upper ends of the stanchion boards.
The animal is put to the stanchion III
the usual manner. Then one end of a
heavy clothesline is passed around the
upper part of the neck and tied In
knot that will not slip; otherwise II
will choke the animal. The free end
of the rope is now carried between the
horns, through the stanchion, to the
front, up and over the horizontal
stanchion rail, then down underneath
the neck and up and over the top OF
the stanchion rail to an assistant who
should hold 1t firmly. Now release the
stanchion, allowing the animal to with
draw its head. so that the horns are
lust inside of the stanchion rail or
stringpiece. Then, keeping the rope
tight, pass it once around the muzzle,
up and over the Stanchion rail ana
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 to
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
animal struggling during the operation
80 as to throw itself off its feet, or If
here appears to be danger of its chok-
ng. the rope may be slackened prompt
Y at the word of the operator and the
lnimal partly released. This. however,
S rarely necessary, for as soon as the
lead is secured the operator should be
eady, standing at the right shoulder
f the animal with his saw, and pro-
eed to saw off first the right and then
he left horn The horns should be
evered at a point from a quarter to a
alf an inch below where the skin
1ins the base of the horn, cutting from

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inf1amed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachion tube. When this tube is
inhamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition OF the mucous surfaces.

Of the United States on Jan. l, ac-
cording to a report issued by the de-
partment of agriculture. shows an in
crease compared with the previous
year, with two exceptions-swine and
cattle other than milk cows. The aver
age price Of milk cows shows an in
creased value of S1.70 per head, and
sheep show a decreased value of 45
cents per 100 pounds and swine an in
crease Of 80 cents. Comparisons of
this year with last year show the fol-
lowing changes: Horses increased 64S.-

DEHORNENG
OF CATTLE.

In a report of the bureau of ami
NAL industry Richard w. Hickman,
V. M. D., chief of the quarantine divi-
sion, says of dehorning cattle:
The dehorning of partly developed
and adult cattle can be very satisfac-
torily performed without other appara-
tus or instruments than good, strong
clothesline and clean, sharp meat
saw or a miter saw with rigid back
In the hands of a fairly good mechanic
The same simple means for controlling
the animal are just as applicable when
the dehorning knife is to be used as
when the horns are to be removed
with the saw. This consists in secur-

THE VETERINARY.

An abundance of sunlight in the COW
stables so arranged that 1t may reach
every part of the stable is one of the
best preventives of disease. When pos
sible the cow stables should be sepa-
rate from the barn in order to secure
proper ventilation and the necessary
sunlight which it is impossible to OBJ
tain in any other way.
Cure For Mango.
Mango is a distressing affection that
should never be permitted to retain a
place on any farm, as it is easily cured.
Rub on oil Of tar, one ounce, and whale
oil, two ounces, or one-half pound each
of tar and sulphur and one pound each
Of soap and alcohol. In all cases boil
all blankets and treat with a strong
solution Of caustic potash all wood
work, harness, brushes, combs and
whatever is possibly infested with the
germs of mango.
Blood Purifier For Horses.
A good blood purifier for horse that
is run down is an ounce of hyposul-
phite of soda twice a day. Feed the
horse well. Another remedy is two
ounces each Of powdered copperas, gin
ger, saltpeter and fenugreek and half
a pound Of ground gentian. Mix and
give a teaspoonful in each feed.
Seours In Calves.
There is no surer cause of scours
than dirty feed pals. Be scrupulously
clean as to pals, troughs and the food
used in feeding young calves. 1t will
save a lot of the trouble that comes
with carrying calves through the
scOurs.
Renewal Of Warts.
Warts on calves and other young
stock are nothing more or less than
skin tumors. often due to overstimula-
ton Of the parts, says a veterinarian.
You can twist them of with your
thumb and fingers. after which you
may apply tincture iodine to the parts
for two or three days IN succession.
Then keep the parts pliable By rubbing
with sweet hogs lard occasionally.

SWISS COLONY
NEAR DONALD
10000 Acres acquired and Will Ge
Sold in 3o-Acre E0SS.-To F1as
Townsite at Donald

Ten thousand acres of land, located
near Donald, have been acquired and
will be laid out in 80-acre tracts and
disposed of to Swiss people, who intend
to establish a colony there. Leading
Swiss residents Of the southern part OF
the state have become interested IN
the matter and it is expected that by
next spring the advance guard OF the
colony will arrive.
Land has been acquired at the june
tion of the two railways at Donald and
will be plated At present Donald
only has a sawmill and quarters to ac-
commouate the men working in the
mill. The promoters of the Swiss col
onv will therefore erect a large hotel
chiefly for the accommodation OF colo
nists and those proposing to locate
there. It is pointed out that it will be
some months before the colonists can
get homes erected and a portion of
their farms cleared, and they and their
families will make the hotel their
home during this period.
AS the Swiss colonists will make
dairying the chief industry, several
creameries and cheese factories will be
erected, but whether these will be run
and operated by private individuals or
on the cooperative plan will remain
Foy. +Lo Co++Ioyc Fc decide
The land on which the Swiss will
form the colony is said to be excellent
for dairying purposes. 1t is covered
with hardwood timber and will be sold
at from $18 to S25 per acre. The col
onists will not be asked to pay the
entire price of the land at once, a plan
having been devided whereby they can
nav a few hundred dollars down and
the remainder at their convenience.
There are thousands of Swiss in the
southern part of Wisconsin and neigh
boring states who are anxious to ac-
quire homes and many of these will
take advantage of the opportunity pre-
sented here. Many will sell their farms
at from $3.50 to $225 per acre, and
move to join the Donald colony. Chip
