TO PREVENT HORNS GROWING
Operation May Be Performed by Sim
pie and Painless Method-How
caustic Is Applied.
CBy R. W. HICKMAN.)

Wy IL w. 1lChMAN.)
when circumstances are favorable,
as in the case of farmers who build
up their herds by raising the progeny,
the horns may be prevented from
growing by simple and practically
painless me,hod, and the custom Of
preventing the growth of horns is be-
coming more popular and more gen.
orally practiced under all conditions
The calf should be treated not later
than one week after its birth, prefer
ably when 1t is from three to FIVE days
old.
The agent to be used may be either
caustic soda or caustic potash, both of
which may be procured in the drug
stores in the form of sticks about the
thickness of an ordinary lead pencil
and five inches long. These caustics
must be handled with care, as they
dissolve the cuticle and may make the
hands or fingers sore. The prepare.
ton of the calf consists in first clip.
ping the hair from the parts, washing
clean with soap and warm water, and
thoroughly drying with a towel or
cloth. The stick of caustic should be
wrapped in piece of paper to protect
the hands and fingers. leaving one end
of the stick uncovered.
Moisten the uncovered end slightly
and rub 1t on the horn buttons or little
points which may be felt on the calfs

CHARLEY NOT ALONE.

The court house bunch have
had considerable fun with Charley
Younkin for the past few years
on account of the fact that once
upon a time he drove his horse
down to the court house in the
morning and was so absent-mind-
ed that he walked home that noon
and never missed his horse until
he went out to give it its dinner.
Now they are telling one on Com
missioner p. f. Murphy so that
Charley is getting a rest. As the
story goeS-Of course Pat denies
it-he and Mrs. Murphy came 10
town one day about two weeks
ago and some of the other mem-
bers of the family came in anOth-
er rig. Pat got busy attending to
some business matters and it was
rather late in the evening before
he was ready to so home. Mrs,
Murphy, in the meantime, had
gotten tired of waiting and had
gone to a picture show and Pat,
thinking she had gone home with
the other rig, proceeded home
without her. AT least, that is his
version of The affair in part, but
the boys al the court house say
that he simply was so absent
minded he forgot he had a wife,
AT least he was reminded of the
fact by the children when he gOt
home and he has been having a
mighty hard time trying to square
things at home ever since.

The keeping quality of butter is
governed to a great extent by the
method Of making. II the cream is
properly ripened and churned. the
butter evenly salted, 1t will. under or

quality for some time. while IL the
different processes have been care
lessly conducted. the buttermik net
