REMOVE HORNS FROM CALVES
According to Writer Best Dehornlnq
Agent is caustlc Potash In Pen
ell or Stick Form.

The best d%ehorning agent Is caustic
potash fused in the pencil or stick
form. The caustic should be applied
as o as the budding horn or button
can be felt under the skin. AS a 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. II. Lehnert in Farm and
Home.
When the proper time arrives, clir
the hair i've the horn from an area
the size of a 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 faH of, 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 well with paper. II active caus
tic is thoroughly applied over a suf
ficiently large area, the horn will un
failingly be killed by one application

Little 0rphant Annie"
Says Slim Riley Was
the Meanest of Boys

Many will be surprised to learn that
there ever was a real "Orphant Annie"
"Orphant Annie" Is now Mrs. Wesley
Gray. Although not a great many
miles from the poets birthplace, Green
field, Ind. Mrs. Gray's farm is situated
In the real, old-fashioned back coun-
try.
1t was a raw, bleak day when little
"Orphant Annie" was brought to the
Riley home. She came from a primi-
tive country settlement in a rough
wagon, riding on a heavy board laid
across 1t for a seat. . She re-
called the happenings at the Riley
home with amusement and delight.
Jim Riley" she declared, was the
biggest tease and the meanest boy /
ever seen. | used to wonder how he
learnt it all how in the world a boy
only twelve years old could be so full
Of mischief, and such an awful tease.
HE would draw ugly pictures Of us
and write mean things beneath 'em,
and l tell you, he just nachurly worried
the life out of us. Then he would make
his eyes red by rubbing them, and
pretend he was sticking gun caps In
them. Then he'd pull the gun caps oui
Of his nose. You can't guess how he
scared US.
"Then he had a hateful way of do
ing a trick that a circus man laugh
him, with a button and a handkerchief
by folding the handkerchief arount
the button, and then undoing 1t, ant
the button wasn't there. That mad
US awful curious, and we made hin
do 1t again and again, until one tim,
he dropped 1t out Of his sleeve."-La

(By H. l. KEMPSTER, Missouri College
of Agriculture.)
AS the chicks grow they need more
room. 1t does not pay to let them
crowd.
Beware of musty, moldy, sou OF de-
cayed food. 1t is sure to cause trou-
BILE.
Tough grass is of no value as a green
food. Better sow some quick-growing
crop.
Feed hoppers greatly reduce the
work. Ii they are kept filled, the
chicks will never go hungry.
If your chicks are not doing well
something is wrong. Look out for lice
and for worms in the intestines.
T~wo-year-old hens had better be sent
to the market. They seldom pay for
their feed If kept over a third sea-
son.
Grit and oyster shell should be in
cluded in the ration for both young
and old. To neglect this would be
poor economy.
Young stock will do better II not
compelled to pick their living with the
old. There will also be less trouble
from lice.
Shade is n of the most important
essentials during the hot months. Get
the chicks into the orchard and corn
field.
A growing chick will not thrive on
short rations. If the right kind of food
Is fed. there is little danger of over
feeding, especially If they are given
plenty of range.
Supplement the regular feeds with q
wei mash-fed crumbly. Feed all the
chicks will clean up before going to
roost, but none should be left in the
trough, for 1t will sour.
Mark the pullets this fall so hat you
will know just how old your hens are
A leg band on the right leg one yeal
and on the left leg the next will assist
In culling the flock. A hog ring viii
serve the purpose.

Wise and Otherwise.

Time may be money to everybody
but the loafer.
And often the shoplifter finds it DIFF
ficult to take things easy.
Dead men tell no tales, but some of
their widows may draw pensions.
AS long as a man can keep his tenn
per he isn't his own worst enemy.
A bachelor says that matrimony Is
one of the blanks In loves lottery.
A woman's idea of an entertaining
man is one who says nothing and lis
tens.
Spendthrifts may be SO called be-
aus they have nothing in common
with thrift.
A girls best insurance against trou-
BILE Is to make a confidant of her moth
er.
It's a woman's natural faith that en-
ables her to believe only the things
she wants to when she knows she
doesn't.

Life Bright for "Kiddies"
Whose Parents Follow the
Advice of Luther Burbank

Luther Burbank, the famous o
der worker among flowers, fruits and
vegetables, has not forgotten to study
the rearing Of children rs well. Ac-
cording to his advice the child's edu-
cation should be largely of his WI
working out In a happy world of
mud-pies, grasshoppers, tadpoles, and
frogs. There should be trees to climb,
brooks to wade in, various animals to
pet, and all kinds of little creatures
to study. ANY child who has been de-
prived of these has been deprived Of
the best part of his education" says
Mr.. Burbank.
Many mothers agree with this idea,
and would discourage any actual book
work for very young children beyond
perhaps reading and writing. Little
girls should be sent off to skip and
dance and cook instead Of to do sums
and dictation. The oculists tell us
that no child should read type in which
the capitals are under a quarter of an
inch high and that he should use his
eyes If possible on large things and
out in the open. Eye-strain and eff
fort of attention are source of the
nerve disorders too common in chill
dren.

VALUE OF PUREBRED HEIFERS
Editor Of Agricultural Paper Picks Up
Prize at Public Sale-Possibiii-
ties Unknown.

A few years ago a certain editor Of
an agricultural paper bought a couple
of cheap little Jersey heifers at a
public sale. Some of the breeders
present had a good bit of fun at his
expense and they haven't all got v
it yet. When these heifers became
COWS the better one made a record OF
production excelled by only a few Of
her age in the country for a month or
SO and was then injured. She may be
heard of later. The other one pro-
duced over 10000 pounds of milk and
480 pounds Of fat with her first calf,
which was not SO bad for a $50 heifer.
The fact is that nobody knows very
much about the possibilities Of pure
bred youngsters. When they are go.
ing cheap it's not a bad plan to pick
them up and wait awhile. They may
develop into the basis of a useful herd

he lays his plans, jotting the name Of

No masculine heart Is so stubborn

future brides when they least expect

FEED CALVES IN STANCHIONS
After Young Animals Have Devoured
MIX 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. It should be made from 8 to 3h
feet high and Is to "a inches from
center to center, with the neck space
4 to s inches wide. 1t is built In the
same n as the old-style. rigid
stanchion. The calf should be fastened
while eating. but loosened from the
stanchion after 1t has eaten its 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.

nings was no false alarm as a catcher,
a mistake when he switched for an
infieid position. "Wee Willie" Keller
was a left-handed hurler, but lacked
weight for pitching, but seemed to
have the necessary avoirdupois to hit
B ban as hard as the best. The noted
Ed Hanlon, manager of the team, used
TO pitch before taking to the outieid.
Then there was Joe Kelley Of the
Torontos. When Joe was a full
fedged Oriole he played the outfeid,
but Mr.. Kelley won considerable fame
as a hurier OF curves and otherwise.
Even "Big Dan" Brouthers began his
baseball career as a pitcher, but that
was away back. Reitz, the second
baseman, also Infieid f. Bonner. were
good catchers, and spent part of their
minor league days behind the bat, and
the famous Walter tSteve) Brodie was
a clever b~ackstopper at n time. 30

won his spurs either as a pitcher OF
curves or as a receiver of them.

only in her nightgown. Her husband
jumped out of bed when he heard
his wife's shrek. He bumped into the
negro and was SO frightened that he
ran out of the house. In their panic
Lustic and his wife forgot their one
year-old baby daughter who slept in

were summoned found the negro seat

RIDES A. GREAT STURGEON
Man Who Mounts Fish in a Wisconsin
River Finally Stuns 1t
With Stone.

Appleton, Wis.-The water in the
river has been low of late. A fisher
man seeing a large sturgeon in a
pool tried to pick 1t up by the tail but
failed.
Someone yelled for him to jump on
the fish and he did. 1t was worse than
riding a bucking broncho.
Then omeone yelled to the rough
rider to hit the fish over the head. He
picked up a stone and kept pounding
until 1t was stunned. Then it was
taken into a mill and cut up. Bat the
rider suffered a badly bruised knee
from being thrown against the rocks.
It is unlawful to catch sturgeon,
but 1t Is not known that there Is any
law against riding one to death.

accompanying his chum, saw there q
Young woman so plain Of face that he
marveled why the g~ood-looking young
man dancing with her should be eager
to secure her for the next waltz, the
next and yet others. During the course
of the evening, the young man who
had fought so hard against coming was
introduced by the friend he had &C
companied to the very plain young
mi She looked up with a smile
and that smile so radiated her whole
face that her new acquaintance looked
upon her In wonder. 1t charmed him,
interested him, made her almost beau
tiful. Her gracious personality, sweet
ness and wholesomeness captured the
citadel of his heart in that first mo-
ment of meeting. He could not for
get her or the sound of her voice or
the touch of her hand. He who had
laughed at matrimony and the notion
that it took a woman's love to make
a man really happy and life worth liv-
ing was manly enough to confess that
he had erred in his judgment, when he
thought the careless life of a bachelor
free lance vas happier than that of
the man who had placed himself In
the hands of a good woman to be loved
and cared for in the married state.
Cupid very often allows a man to go
a great length ere he halts him. He
can only run the length of his rope
finding the matrimonial moose at the
end of it.
