DehornIna Cattle.


Dehornlns Cattle.
The advantages of dehorning cattle
have now become we'll recognized and
duly appreciated by most raisers,
feeders and shippers of cattle. For
merly dehorned or polled cattle were
the exception; now they are the rule.
The principal reason for dehorning
cattle is to prevent their injuring 9th
er cattle by goring them. However,
bulls are oftentimes dehorned for the
purpose of protecting their owners and
attendants.
Bruising and CHASTITY wounds are
frequently encountered on the floor
of abattoirs in horned cattle which
have been shipped to market in
crowded cars. These injuries often
times cause condemnation Of such
carcasses. Dehorned cattle may be
kept together with less danger and
they rest and feed better and are not
near so excitable. Originally cattle
in their wild state were endowed with
horns as weapons of defense. These
were oftentimes converted into wea-
pons of offense. In cattle's present
state of domestication horns are in no
sense necessary for the welfare Of cat
tie.
Methods Of Dehorning.
There are four well-fecognized meth
DDS of dehorning:
First-Breeding the horns on.
Second-Application of caustic to
the buttons on the calf.
Thirdly use of gouge or dehorn-
ing forceps.
Fourth-Surgical removal Of horns
after they have fully or partially de-
veloped.
Breeding the Horns OF.
OF all the methods for removing the
horns breeding them or is the most
humane as we'll as the least trouble
and danger. The breeding Of polled
cattle is now extensively practiced in
many parts of the United States.
Use of caustic.
If IL is desired to use the caustic
method it must be applied before the
horn has pushed through the skin.
Ordinary stick caustic is the prepare
ton to be used. When the calf Is
four days old, and with an assistant
to hold the animal, the hair is clip
ped away from over the budding
horns, after which wash the parts
with tar soap and warm water and
dry them The caustic is now mois-
tened and applied by rubbing on the
horn buttons. Apply first one and
then the other, taking care that none
of the caustic touches the surrounding
skin.
Removal by Gouglng.
Removal nv gouRinR should be done
in winter. 1t is practiced on calves
from 10 days to months of age. An
instrument known as the "gouging
instrument" is used. The calf should
be restrained by holding or otherwise.
The operation necessarily & requires
some flesh disturbance and injury, but
this should be made as slight as pos
sible The operation is quite painful.
Be sure and go sufficiently deep to
remove all the horn-growing cells.

Nasal Discharge.

9. G. s., Camden, Tenn.-My horse
had the distemper about Is months
ago and now at times has a mucous
discharge from the nostrils, mostly
from the right one. At times he
breathes hard and when lead him
up hill he rattles a little at the nos
tril. Does not hurt him to work and
stays in good condition, does not dam
age the qualities at all, but might hurt
the sale Of him. Please advise me
what to do through the stock depart
ment of the Farmers Magazine Sec
ton. The horses wind is as good as
ever, can work hard all day and only
shows the effect as ] described above
at times and when idle as much as
when at work.

beneficial: Muriate ammonia. four
ounces. Water, one quart. Mix and
give ounces morning and night.

8. @. r. NJ, Cumberland Furnace,
Tenn.--I have a horse two years old.
He has been lame for sometime. He
got hung in a wire fence when he was
eight months old and has never gotten
over It. His left leg rose last fall and
when Il went down Il left hard ring
around his leg just above the hair Of
his hoof This hard ring has been
there FIVE months and his toe turns
up. He walks on his heel. I had a
shoe put on that foot; It holds IL up
some, but he is still lame. Is this a
ring bone? II It is or is not can you
tell me what Il is and advise me how
to treat Il? I have been reading your
replies to different ones in the Far
mers Magazine section Of the Dickson
County Herald. Am very anxious to
hear what you think Of my horse.
Answer:-From your description
am inclined to the belief that this
animal is affected with we'll develop
ed ring bone. complicated by tendon
adhesions, etc. Experience with such
cases would induce me to advise you
that treatment would be useless. II
Is barely possible that time and nature
may bring about recovery to the ex-
tent Of making this animal useful for
slow farm work or work on soft roads.

 Several single reel comedies of first run calibre, meaning those of the very best, and Fox patrons are in store for a great comedy treat for the com ing two days. Professor Harmon will change his overtures today, and those who have enjoyed his capable hand ling of the mammoth organ the early part of the week will be hearing him again In several new and difficult selections.

 As to the means of transportation the bulletin says: Sentiment seems to favor the school wagon where proper ly managed; yet while the wagon is the usual form of conveyance fur nished, many children are transported by steam railroads, electric cars, au- tomobiles and even by gasoline launches
 Competent drivers are essential in any plan for transportation, ac- cording to the bulletin. The char acter of the driver is so important that state legislation in some in stances, for example Wise onsin, re- quires that leach driver contracted with must be of excellent moral char acter, trustworthy and responsible, and must furnish safe team with suitable conveyance"
 The kind of the wagons used is regarded so important that many states purchase their own wagons "A'o 'AO oAliy uIiVeIS dHQ teams. "The best wagons declares the bull 1etin. "are those where the driver sits inside with the children, and where there are glass sides instead of cur talns." In cold weather rugs and lap ropes are used, and sometimes the wagons are heated by means of oil stoves.
 The cost per pupil for transporta- t1on, as given by the bulletin, ranges from ten to eighteen cents per day. The average expense for the school year is about $23 per pupil.
