Of performing this operation, &C
cording to the Department of Agrl-
culture. one of the simplest and ths
easiest methods is to use caustic,
either soda or potash, on the unde-
veloped horns of the calves. To OBJ
tain the best results. the caustic
should be applied when the calf is
from to 10 days old. Clip off the
hair from around the knobs where
the horns are developing, With a
slightly moistened stick OF caustic,
rub each horn alternately three or
four times. allowing il to dry each
time before applying the next. Ex-
treme care should be TAX y not to
have the stick so wet that the So
luton from it will run down the
side of the calf's head. To prevent
the spread OF the caustic. which will
cause sores on the skin, apply vase
line around the edge where the hair
has been clipped.
For older cattle, where the horns
have developed either saws or clip
pers should be used. II is best to
use the clippers on the young ami
mails when the horns are still soft
and tender. but with older animals
which have hard, brittle horns the
saw should be used. While the oper-
