REMOVE HORNS FROM CALVES
According to Writer Best Dehorning
Agent Is Caustic Potash in Pen
ell or Stick Form.

The best dehorning agent is caustiC
potash fused In the pencil or stick
form. The caustic should be applied
as soon as the budding horn or button
can be felt under the skin. AS rule
this can be done when the calf is but
a few weeks old, and although 1t is
claimed by some that horns may be
removed from animals six months old,
it is undoubtedly best to operate early,
advises Dr. E. H. Lehnert in Farmland
Home.
When the proper time arrives, CLIP
the hair over the horn from an area
the size of half dollar, wash with
soapsuds and rub on the moistened
caustic. To prevent the caustic from
running, moisten it only slightly, and
apply lard or vaseline all about the
spot treated. When the scabs fall off, a
careful examination should be made,
and If the horn Is still prominent,
make another application Of the caus.
tic. To protect the fingers, wrap the
caustic we'll with paper. II active caus-
tic Is thoroughly applied over suf-
ficiently large area, the horn will un-
failingly be killed by one application.

PLAN FOR BEAUTY IN GROUNDS
By L. M. BENNINGTON.

The beauty which is near at hand IS
often neglected while we prize that
which is denied us-We refer to the
beauty and desirability Of the Celas-
trus, or bitter sweet vine. This native
climber, found in our woods and along
our fences, is one Of the most salts
factory vines that can be grown about
the home.
It is as hardy as granite, a quick
grower, twining securely about its sup
port and it is not liable to disease. In
the fall, when flowers are scarce, it
covers itself with clusters of orange
colored fruit, which the frost opens,
revealing its crimson seeds.
Choose dark, rainy day, If possible,
for the transplanting, otherwise do
this work at sunset-we mean in trans
planting seedlings. Water the seed
bed thoroughly short time before you
begin to transplant, then lift the
plants, with all the soil their roots
hold, and remove to the permanent
bed.
Keep the seedlings covered with
wet cloth, so that the heat and wind
will not dry them. With a sharp-point-
cd stick make the hole for the plant
and then fill it with water. Plant the
Seeding in this puddle, drawing the
dark soil about the stalk when the
ground has been firmed about the plant
as much as possible.
A miniature water garden is practi-
cal and will prove most interesting,
needing less attention than q flower
bed its size. Have a sugar or vinegar
barrel cut in two, or use wooden tub.
Sink this in the soil. Make a pOtting
box about twelve inches square and fill
with rich mud from pond, or use half
rich loan, adding to the mud or loan
about third of well-rotted manure.
Plant the nymphae-root in this and
place in the tub; fill with water until
it is two or three inches deep over the
root.
When the growth commences and
the leaves appear, water may be added
from time to time until the tub is full
Never change the water, simply re
place that which evaporates.

SOME NOTES IN SEASON

Prune Towering shrubs as soon as
they have finished Towering. The Sc
cret of pruning shrubbery, in a nut
shell, Is to study the habit of growth
of each plant, and to strive to encour-
age it; not alter 1t to your views.
Make a note Of the yellow spots on
the lawn. If the grass is scanty, the
trouble is probably sand or poor soil.
The best cure is to dig out the place,
and put in some good loan.
Then resod the place. If the grass
is there, but dead, the trouble is lack
Of moisture.
II the grass on the lawn is growing
fast, two mowings a week, allowing
the clippings to lie where they fall, is
easier than one moving in ten days
or two weeks, followed by a raking to
remove the cut grass.
Gravel roads and walks that refuse
to get solid can be greatly improved
by the judicious use of clay. Pulver.

FEED CALVES IN STANCHIONS
After Young Animals Have Devoured
Milk and Grain They Lose Desire
to Suck Ears.

There are several good reasons for
feeding calves in stanchions. The
calves can be fed their milk, then
their grain, and after they have eaten
the grain they will lose their desire to
suck one another's ears. A stanchion
made of wood will be entirely satisfac
tory. 1t should be made from 8 to 31s
feet high and IS to "a inches from
center to center, with the neck space
to inches wide. 1t is built in the
sawe manner as the old-style rigid
stanchion. The calf should be fastened
while eating, but loosened from the
stanchion after it has eaten it's grain.
The calf pens and stanchions should
be built in the south side of the barn,
where plenty of sunshine and light
can be had.

Too much clay will make sticky road

than a soft gravel road.
TO insure a thick privet hedge, cut

Evergreens from the nursery can be

1t is important to keep the roots moist,
with as much soil adhering as pos

Always keep on the lookout for pos
