Cow in Dehorning Crate Ready for
Operation.

undeveloped horns of the calves. To
obtain the best results, the caustfc
should be applied when the calf is
from four to ten days old. Clip the
hair from around the knobs where the
horns are developing. With a slightly
mostened stick of caustic, rub each
horn alternately three or four times,
allowing it to dry each time before ap-
plying the next. Extreme care should
be taken not to have the stick so wet
that the solution from it will run down
the side of the calf's head. To pre-
vent the spread of the caustic, which
will cause sores On the skin, apply
vaseline 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. 1t is best to use
the clipper on the young animals when
the horns are still soft and tender,
but with older ANIMALS which have
hard, brittle horns the saw should be
used. While the operation can be per-
formed with clippers quicker and with
less pain, this instrument is liable to
crush the bone in older animals, cauS-
ing a wound that heals very slowly.
Cattle should never be dehorned
during warm weather, spring being the
best time to perform the operation. If
delayed too long in the season, the
wound may become infested with
screw worms, and flies are very an
noying. Either coal tar or pine tar
applied to the wound will prevent fly
injury. If screw worms appear in spite
Of all precautions, they may be re-
moved by saturating a piece of alb
Sorbent cotton in chlOrofOrm and in
sorting it into the wound, or by pour
ing gasoline into the horn cavities.
This kills the worms, which should
then be removed with a pair of for
cops.
In order to make a clean cut and
avoid trouble in performing the opera
ton, the animals head should be
capped or held in firm position. For
this purpose dchorning chutes, the
front of which consists of two strong
pieces which can be closed firmly on
either side of the cows neck, are very
convenient

TEMPERATURE FOR CHURNING
Much Depends on Season Of Year, but

drees in Summer.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
The desirable temperature at which
to churn is that which makes the but
ter granules firm without being hard.
This is usually obtained under normal
conditions when the churning occupies
80 or 40 minutes. The necessary churn-
ing temperature depends upon the
season of the year and certain other
factors, but is usually from 81 to 6O
degrees Fahrenheit in the summer and
from So to 60 degrees Fahrenheit in
the winter. If the cream is churned
at 60 degrees Fahrenheit in winter,
and the butter comes in 35 minutes,
with the granules firm, it will be no.
ticed, as summe: approaches and the
cows are turned out to pasture, that
the cream churns more quickly and
the butter is softer. This is an In
dication that lower churning temper
allure should be used, and thus from
season to season the churning temper
allure is regulated so that the butter
granules may have the proper firm
ness.
When the temperature is either too
low or too high, undesirable results
are obtained. A low temperature pro-
longs the churning period unnecessa-
rily, and may even make it impossible
to churn' butter. It causes the gran
ules, especially when the cream is
thin, to form in tiny pellets, like fine
shot, many of which run out with the
buttermilk. The working of the but
ter and the Incorporation of the salt
are accomplished only with great diff
Guilty, and the body of the butter is IL
able to be brittle and tallowy. Add
ing hot water to cream to warm 1t,
and using wash water more than three
degrees warmer than the butter in or
der to soften it, are bad practices,
since they injure the quality of the
butter. If the proper churning tenn
perature is used, the butter granules
will be of the proper hrmness.

spends one day each month with each
member, tests and weighs the milk for
butterfat, weighs the feed, both concen-
trates and rOughage, and advises the
farmer concerning the quantity and
kind of feed to be given each cow in
the herd. From the quantity of milk,
the butterfat test and the cost of feed,
he helps the farmer to determine which
COW should be rejected. He also aids
in the selection of calves, in improving
the sanitation of the barn, milk house
and dairy utensils, and in many other
ways assists in lifting the dairy bust
ness to higher level.
There are now 472 cow-testing aSso-
cations in the United States, and last
year monthly records were kept for
261 1871 cows, or about 1 per cent of
all the dairy cows in this country.
The cows in the associations whose
records have been tabulated averaged
247 pounds of butterfat, or about SO
per cent more than the average pro-
duction Of all the dairy cows in the
United States. If all the dairy cows in
the country could be brought up to the
average Of the cow-testing associations,
production would be increased so per
cent in quantity and the cost of pro-
duction would be considerably reduced.

weeds poor chance to mature seeds,
as they are cut for hay before most
weeds ripen. Again, adopting rota-
ton often means growing cultivated
crops on land where such crops have
not been raised. The value of cult
waited crops in cleaning land Of weeds
has already been emphasized.
Demonstrations of the value of
rotation in controlling weeds are avail
able in many localities. For example,
in western Kansas wheat is usually
grown continuously, and when this is
the case weeds are very troublesome;
but when a rotation, including Gull
tivated crop and q forage crop, is
adopted. the weeds that are so COM
mon under continuous wheat growing
do not have so much chance to make
growth and to mature their seeds.
Hence. weeds become very much re-
duced. Another example is furnished
in parts of eastern New York, where
it is customary to keep land in mead
Ow for many years. These meadows
become foul with orange hawkweed,
ox-eye daisy, wild carrot, and other
weeds. Introducing a cultivated crop
and grain crop soon disposes of most
Of these weeds.
Cooperation in Controlling Weeds.
Probably no feature of weed cOntrOt
is more important than cooperation
among those concerned. Weed con-
troll is community problem rather
than one for the individual farmer ="

Tess discouraging, because where
weeds are allowed to grow undis
turbed they produce sufficient seeds
to infest the adjacent lands. The nee
esSary cooperation might be arranged
through agricultural clubs and other
farm organizations.

and none of our fruit can excel it as
