Heavy Editorial.

Alexander H. Stephens, vice presi-
dent of the Southern Confederacy.
who after the Civil war was repeated
ly elected to congress from Georgia,
was an exceedingly thin man. One day
there fell under his observation a news
paper item saying that he weighed 90
pounds. In reply to this he wrote a
letter to the editor of the offending
journal demanding an immediate re-
traction. II will not be slandered in
this manner" he protested, "my
weight is 81 pounds" The former vice
president was himself an editor, with
habit of writing very long articles for
his paper in Georgia, and the cOntem-
pOrary which had made the unwelcOme
statement regarding his weight refused
to retract it for the reason, he said,
that "Mr. Stephens must have had one
of his editorials in his pocket when
he last tried the scales. This would
account for the difference of four
pounds between the two figures"

Huns Use Two Mystery Guns.

Paris, March 26.-Twenty-four shells
reached Paris on Saturday and twenty
seven Sunday. The interval between
shots was reduced from fifteen or
twenty minutes on Saturday to an av-
erage of nine minutes Sunday. On two
occasions there was an interval of only
one or two minutes. Shells fell at 9:15
and 9:16 o'clock and at 9:45 and 9:47
This was accepted as confirming the
theory that at least two guns were fir
ing. The time of flight of the shells
is estimated at ten minutes at the

 Rumanian soldiers at Camp Lewis will be separated in the future from soldiers of Hungarian and Magyr birth.
 The reason is that nearly every time the soldiers get together there results a quarrel and sometimes a fight. Ancient racial antipathy has not vanished from these two races in the army, and bad feeling between them at the camp shows.

DEHORNING CATTLE is BEST
Operation Should Be Performed Early
Enough to Permit Wounds to
Heal Before Fattening.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Cattle intended for the feed lots
this winter should be dehorned early
enough to permit the wounds to heal
before they are put on full feed. De-
horning offers advantages which the
feeder should not overlook. The cat
tie are more easily and safely handled
when dehorned, and each animal is as
sured of fair play at the feed trough.
Dehorning also prevents the bruised
condition of the flesh and torn hides
caused by goring both in the feed lots
and in transit to market, as we'll as ex-
cessive shrinkage in shipments. De-
horning should be done in late fall or
early winter
The most common method of de-
h0rning cattle is to saw the horns off,
and for this purpose an ordinary meat
saw can be used, though there are
saws on the market that are specially
designed for the operation. BY this
method good clean job can be done
on any type of horn, and the wound is
left in condition to heal readily.
The use of dehorning clippers is be-
coming more common, especially
where q large number of cattle are to
be dehorned and where they are de-
horned before the horn becomes hard
and brittle. The chief objection to de-

horning with the clippers is that thin
or hard horns are sometimes crushed
or splintered, resulting in wound
that heals slowly. This objection is
partly overcome by using clippers that
are constructed with two V-shaped
blades, which, when pressed together,
bring four cutting edges against the
horn, lessening the tendency to crush
or splinter the horn.
A number of methods of restraining
animals during the dehorning opera
ton have been practiced. Where only
a few head are to be dehorned, the
quickest way is to throw the animal
to the ground and hold it or tie it Sc
urely until the horn is taken off.
When q considerable number of cat
Nle are to be dehorned, it will pay to
construct dehorning chute. Plans
of a chute that has proved very salts
factory for this purpose are given
herewith. This chute is made narrow
enough so that the animal will not
have room to struggle a great deal,
and with stanchion-shaped head
clamp at one end for holding the ami
malls head. After an animal is in the
chute and the head clamp closed
moose should be placed around the
neck with a loop over the nose. The
head can then be snubbed down to the
peg indicated on the side post. This
forces one horn forward so as to make
it easily removed. After one horn is
removed the head should be snubbed
to the other side for the removal of
the other horn. A chute of this kind
can be constructed at very low cost by
using scrap material about the farm.
Cattle should never be dehorned dur
ing warm weather when there is dam
ger of the wound becoming infested
with screw worms. The best time to
dehorn is in late fall and early winter
or during the cool weather of spring.
If the weather is sufficiently cool there
is very little danger of the wound be-
coming infested with screw worms.
However, it is best to apply some fly
repellent, such as pine tar or one Of
the coal-tar products to the wound.
The accompanying plans show the
construction Of two types of simple
and satisfactory dehorning chutes.
The dotted lines in both types of chute
show the head clamps when open, and
the lever in both cases is used for
closing the head clamps after the ami
mails head is in position. The sides
that are shown in the plans can be
used for either type. The gate is con-
venient for letting the animal out of
the chute and also for branding and
vaceinating.
