VeASels on the Great Lakes. Even as It Is the
cargo carriers Of the inland seas are owned or

compared to the diverse interests that have a

Is due TO the circumstance that the commerce Of
the Great Lakes is SO largely restricted to such
commodities as iron ore, COAL grain and lumber
and the men who make use of the raw material
produced in the lake district find it profitable to
own ships to an extent not paraleled in any other

DEHORNING.

1t is now pretty generally recognize
ed that dehorning makes COW more
quiet and docile and that many tor
lures are saved that are ordinarily
inflicted when horns are retained.
We should, therefore, see that all
our COWS are dehorned. On a full
grown animal they may be removed
either by saving or clipping, but the
simplest and most humane method is
by using caustic potash while the calf
is very young.
We have dehorned a number of
calves by the following method and
have observed no signs of distress
among the calves treated: When the
calf is from "a to 48 hours old the
hair is very carefully clipped from
the invisible horns. A little grease
(vaseline or melted lard) is smeared
around the button, but not on the
button. The caustic potash is then
rubbed on the button until the spot
begins to look sore; twelve hours
later a scab will be formed over the
button and the horn will be destroy
ed. IT no scab forms, the application
of potash was not sufficient and it
may be applied again.
The caustic potash is very strong
and it should never be allowed to
touch any other part of the animals
body, nor the hand nor clothing of
the attendant.
