pehorning with caustIo Potash.

1t has been proved by experiments
that horns can be removed by the
application of caustic potash after
the calves are three days old, but
dehorning should not be postponed
or the results will be unsatisfactory.
To apply the potash, remove the
hair about the horns close to the
skin and moisten slightly with pot
ash, rubbing until the skin is white.
The potash should be wrapped in
paper to protect the hands of the
operator, and it should not be made
so moist that it will run down the
side of the calf's head When APP
plying the caustic the calf's head
should be fastened securely to avoid
applying anywhere except over the
horns. Any potash left over should
be kept in a tightly corked bottle
for future use.

A MOTHER.S RING.
BY EDWIN A. NYR.

During the anti-saloon crusade in
Chicago a woman sent this letter to the
editor Of one Of the newspapers:
Dear sir-Wm you please give this ring
or whatever II will bring to help put the
saloons out OF Chicago when they have
the election7 You know what Is the best
society or fund for the work 1 leave that
TO you. From one who hopes to see the
day for my childrens sake.
When the letter was opened n worn
little hoop Of gold, evidently a wedding
ring, fell out.
She had sent woman's dearest treas
ure, one of the last things she will will
ingly give. for the sake of a cause.
That simple little jewel was worth
millions to her, say. on her wedding
day, when her young heart swelled
with happiness and the band of gold
stood for her future.
The trinket stood for the young hus-
band who had won her heart. for the
little home that was to be. for the little
ones who would come to that home
all that woman's heart yearns for and
cares for.
UGdu htLWNNn Tie AAhN.s
Do you not see the pathos in that
last sentence? Somewhere in the years
that are gone her beautiful castles OF
hope had fallen TO the earth.
For my children's sake"
Who was it? Was it the husband
who failed her, or a son that went down
in the depths to break the mothers
heart. or a daughter dragged into the
slough of despond by one who prom
ised to love and cherish?
The letter was unsigned.
The writer made no bid for notoriety.
There was no hope Of personal gain
1t was the simple offering over again
of the widows mite. only the ring, a
circlet that could be bought at any jew
elry store for less than S10-just a ring
that once had linked two lives.
Only a ring.
But because Of the innocent patho'
of the message and the gift it is small
wonder Chicago minister in the name
of his church gave 500 for II, the mon
ey to go for fighting the saloons.
Whose riug was It?
Nobody knows. Only this is known
It was the ring of a woman whose
( heart had been wrung, a woman wh'
had faith and hope In a crusade agains
a foe Of her children and her home.
Whoever may finally get the worl
little ring. may he reverently handl
aud gently treasure the circle of gold
1t came from a mother with a mes
sage and a prayer.
