TASK OF DEHoRNING CATTLE
Operation Is Most Frequently Per-
formed to Prevent Animals From
lnjuring Each Other

Cattle have been dehorned since,
about 1890. The operation sometimes
is performed to remove horns that are
broken or otherwise injured, but most
frequently it is to prevent horned ami
mails from injuring one another. Usu-
ally it is considered justifiable on ac-
count of the benefits that are derived
from the operation.
The growth of horns on calves may
be prevented entirely by the liberal
use of strong solution of ordinary
I've; or if the use of solution is not
desirable it can be purchased at drug
stores in the form of sticks known as,
eaustic potash. This should be ap-
piled Immediately after birth to the
place where the horn makes its APP
pearance. Care should be exercised
when using this remedy because the
lye will eat away all the skin with
which it comes in contact
Various kinds of instruments are
used for the removal of the horns of
older animals. If an ordinary saw is
used it should be sharp and fine, as
this lessons the danger of splintering
the bones OF the head during the oper-
alton. II large number of animals
are dehorned, quicker and safer work
can be done with a "dehorning in
strument." This can be purchased
of any veterinary supply company for
$3.50 to $40.
It Is best not to dehorn during the
ny season, Sometimes the horn is
cut close to the head and cavities are
opened which become filled with mag
gots IL flies are prevalent The ami
NAL suffers intensely, If this happens,
and there is rapid loss in condition.
If cavities are accidentally exposed
a small piece of cotton, smeared with
tar, may be applied to the wound and
held in place by means of bandage
around the head. This also is of great
value If excessive bleeding follows the
operation. If maggots gain entrance
to the cavities of the head they should
be washed out with a weak, watery
solution of ordinary dip.

TREES ALONG THE R0ADSIDES
Many Organizations Have Promised
Their Aid to Provide Free Fruit
for the Weary Traveller.

Fresh fruit plucked from roadside
trees is a pleasure travellers will be
able to enjoy several years hence,
when they stop for lunch in some
shady nook.
In many communities civic associa-
tions, farmers organizations and hor-
ticultural societies have promised
their aid to provide free roadside fruit
for the traveller.
This very pleasant idea was origi-
mated by southern Missouri nursery,
which has placed $4,000 apple, peach,
pear, plum and cherry trees along the
side of the Missouri section of the
National Old Trails highway. The
fruit will be free to transcontinental
motorists.

a red-cloverand-oat mixture properly
grown for forage should make saw
ing of from rs to 80 per cent in the
grain ration for growing and fattening
swine To get the best results, the
crop must be carefully seeded, fed at
the right stage of growth, and never
overstocked at the beginning of the
feeding period or trampled when the
ground is wet. An acre sown to these
crops, properly grown and cared for,
should furnish forage for about four
months for Is to 20 spring shoats.
Then, to finish the animals for mar
ket. heavy grain feeding is begun.

There are very many different spe'

less than one-fiftieth of an inch to
about eight inches in length. From
the United States alone over 10000
species have been recorded of which
over 400 are known to affect in greater

insects are injurious, for by far the

MACHINE FOR ROAD BUILDING
Useful for Applying Hot Bltumlncus
Binder Under Pressure, Filling
Spaces Between Stones.

A recent addition to road building
equipment is gasoline driven ma
chine used for applying the hot bitum-
inous binder under pressure so that it
will penetrate and fill the spaces be-
tween the stones, says Popular Me-
chanics. After the first course OF
stone is laid this machine is run over
the roads, discharging the bituminous
binder through a series of vertical
pipes at the forward end. AS soon as
the binder has hardened, second
course of stone is laid and rolled, the
rolling forcing the two courses into
one compact layer The binder is then
applied a second time, and the proc

pleted. This process makes it posi-
BILE to build compact road with no
openings into which water can pene-
trate. The bituminous binder is car
ried in the large tank, which has a
capacity of $50 gallons. It is heated
by steam coils in the tank, the steam
being supplied by flash boiler which
is fired by fuel oil. Steam supplied by
this boiler is also used for running an
air compressor by which the binder is
forced into the spaces between the
stones.

PROFITABLE HOG FEED

Satisfactory Pasture.
CIV / G. TuLLERN


Forage crops constitute most i'm
portant part of the food supply for
swine. Since there is little or no
profit in feeding hogs on grain alone,
the swine raiser should arrange to
develop his market animals as much
as possible on dairy and farm prod
ucts and forage crops, leaving the
heavy grain feeding for the fattening
and finishing period. Most forage
crops are suited to swine feeding, and
in proper condition and stage Of
growth provide at least a mainten-
ance ration.
Native blue grass is satisfactory
pasture for the spring and early sum
mer months or before it becomes dry
and ceases to grow By the middle of
July this forage is of little value in

WINTER FEED FOR THE cows
Important for Dairyman to Provide an
Abundance of Different Feeds to
Keep Up MIX Flow.
CBy R. G. wEATHERsToNE.)

by r. G. WEATHERSToNE.)
During the winter months it is gem
orally found difficult to provide such
food as is necessary for the dairy COW
to keep up the regular flow of milk.
At this season of the year feed is
generally scarce-the proper kind for
the dairy cow-and that which we
nave on hand is often of an inferior
quality.
After coming off the green fresh
grass they do not relish such dry feed
and being of an inferior quality one
will soon notice great decrease in
the flow of milk
For this reason it is very important
for the farmer to try to provide an

feeds are deficient in calcium and pro-
TEN, which must be had to make
bone, blood and muscle.
The legumes are rich in these all
important constituents and go well
with corn. Good pasture should be
provided, without which it is difficult
to maintain breeding animals. The
farm that produces fine Kentucky blue
grass and plenty of it will furnish
lot of the best feed without labor

Grape Pruning.

In pruning grapes it must be re-
membered that the fruit grown is on
the new wood of the present seasons
growth which springs from wood
grown the preceding season, and nev.
er on last years wood. The fruit is
borne near the base of the shoots.
Each shoot should bear from two to
six clusters, but only limited num-
Der of clusters should be allowed to
develop on a single vine.

FEEDING THE YOUNG ANIMALS

Good feeds can be grown on the
farm. Corn and timothy ha. alone
will not do. Young animals cannot
thrive on these feeds alone, as they

quires for proper development These

The farmers ideas of poultry-rais-

what they were few years ago.
Everywhere on the farms more in
telligent interest is being taken in
the subject.

that the poultry is good source of
income, and is willing to take some

and other repressive measures must
be used with caution, and at the right
time and place in order to be most

vulnerable points. When these are
known proper remedial measures may
then be taken for its determination
