date when most OF the bonds OF the

toe ID. u. RS books show. according
to the commission, increases
amounting to 10 per cent a year.
Instead of estimating that $751;

board places Its estimate at $780,
$1,000. including not only the sink
ing fund, but also betterments and
extensions. II figures that by saw

The commission makes no predic-

earnings OF 1914. and do not predi-
cate any increase in net earnings

Thus the commission may have
underestimated the net earnings. On

spite the title OF czar which Ferd-

The Bulgars are smarting under
the territorial loss they suffered In
the second Balkan war. and they
care more for the recovery of that
territory than they do for Ferdi-

trade the use of the Bulgar armies

PLAN FOR DEH0RNlNG CALVES
Work Satisfactoriiy-Smal
Amount Will Kill Horn.

Many dairymen make a practice OF
dehorning their calves with caustic
potash or soda. Others would if they
thought enough about it. Take the
calf, say few days old, scrape the
button or skin over button where
horns are forming until quite red,
then apply the caustic. There is no
need OF getting it anywhere else than
on the button, as very small amount
will kill the horn. However, the skin
must be broken In order to be ef-
fective.
A certain dairyman has three
heifers, one hornIess, one horned, the
other with one normal horn and the
other showing flush with the skin,
but not projecting beyond it. These
results were due to different degrees
of treatment. The hornless heifer
was first treated, but a friend drop
ping in when the second calf was
being treated, objected to the amount
of irritation of the skin over the but
ton, saying that the treatment was too
| severe and cruel. The owner, there.
fore, let up somewhat, being new to
the treatment, and as a result one
thorn was not affected at all and the
other only stunted to the amount in
| dicated. The third heifer the friend
| treated with the result that the horns
were not stopped, but grew as much
as ever.
