add to the beauty Of the scene. A
very interesting program was arrang-

There are men In what are known
as the milk districts adjacent to large
cities. where large numbers of dairy
cows abound. who go about from farm
to farm dehorning animals in this
manner. charging for their services in
some instances as little as five cents
per horn or ten cents per animal.
1t Is not usual to apply any prep
aration after the operation of dehorn-
ing 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 hol-
low. They communicate with the
frontal sinuses. or air spaces. of the
head; therefore foreign substances
which would act as an irritant in
these cavities are apt to set up an in
dammation, resulting in the formation
OF pus or an abscess, which may prove
quite serious. Fragments of horn de-
tached in the process of dehorning
would serve as such frritant and by

Inflammation. This trouble, though,
is of infreQuent occurrence, but
would appear more liable to happen
when the dehorning instruments arc

II proper care is taken. however. such
an occurrence following dehorning
may in almost every instance be
avoided.
Occasionally animals after being de-

get into the cavities, though usually
the soreness of the parts is sufficient
to prevent this.
