prepared by the United States Depart

The dehorning of cattle can be very
satisfactorily performed without other
apparatus or instruments than a good
strong clOthesline and a clean sharp
meat saw, or a inter saw with a rigid
back. The same simple means for
controlling the animal is Just as appli-
cable when dehorning clippers are TO
be used as when the horns are to be
removed with the saw. The head of
the animal is secured TO the horizon
tai rail or stringer which holds the
upper ends of the stanchion boards.
The animal is put in the stanchion in
the usual manner; then one end of a
heavy clothesline is passed around the
upper part of the neck and tied in a
knot that will not slip, otherwise it
will choke the animal. The free end
of the rope is now carried between the
horns, through the stanchion to the
front, up and over the horizontal

Stable flies are a source of keen an
noyance TO work animals during the
heat of summer. Every owner who has
the welfare of the dumb beasts at
heart should strive to alleviate as far
as possible the discomforts to which
the horses are exposed.
The most logical method of abating
me fly nuisance is to eliminate all
breeding places, such as manure piles.
Manure should be kept in fly-tight pits
or bins until such time as it can be
hauled to the fields. Pits should be
conveniently located so tine manure
can be easily thrown in at the time
Of cleaning and so constructed that it
can be readily removed. 1t is essen
tial that flies be prevented from reach
ing the manure, but, as some of them
viii, even though great care is exer-
cised, it is advisable to place a fly
trap on the pit
The coal-tar sprays used in combat
ing the fly evil in the dairy stable are
also efficient in driving the winged
pests away from the horses. Among
the best of these is a solution of 100
parts Of fish oil, 800 parts of oil of tar.
and part of crude carbolic acid. II
may be prepared at home at cost of
about 30 cents a gallon. This spray,
as well as kerosene emulsion and 9TH
er fly repellants containing coal-tar
products, fish oil, resin. and oil of tar,
are best applied with an inexpensive
spray pump. 1t is preferable to give
the horses hasty spraying early each
morning before they 60 to work. This
brings best results from the use of the
fly eradicator.
For general comfort Of the work
animals when they come from the field
at night It is recommended that after
the harness has been removed each
animal be given a sponge bath with a
solution Of cool salt water. In case
there are any work gals or shoulder
sores, these injuries should be treated
with white lotion. which is one Of the
most healing and soothing preparations
of its kind for use in warm weather.

Rope Held by Assistant.

II is necessary that the rope be held
by an assistant, as in the event OF the
animal struggling during the opera
ton so as TO throw itself off its feet.
or if there appears to be danger Of its
choking, the rope may be slackened
promptly at the word of the operator
and the animal partly released. This,
however, is rarely necessary. for as
soon as the head is secured the oper-
ator should be ready, standing at the
right shoulder of the animal with his
saw, and proceed to saw off first the
right and then the left horn. 1t Is n
good plan before commencing the real
work TO experiment upon an animal
in the matter Of control by tying the
head to the stanchiOn rail as described.
If the stanchion rail is too wide to
permit of properly securing the lower
part as well as the upper part of the
animals head, the turn of the rope
around the muZzle may be omitted and
the last lap of the rope carried around
the stanchion rail TO the front and TO
the hands of the assistant. Care
should be taken that the rope pass
each time over the neck of the animal

LOSS OF VALUABLE MANURE
one-Half of Plant Food Value Lost
When Left in Open Yard Dur
ing Summer Months.

Manure left in the open yard through
the summer months may lose one-half
its plant-food value due to fermenta-
don and teaching. Rotted manure
which has been saved carefully will
be richer in plant-food elements, ton
for ton, than fresh manure. 1t re-
quires one and one-half to three tons
of fresh manure to make a ton of rot
ted manure, which is reduced greatly
and the total quantity of plant-food
elements also is decreased by fer
mentation and exposure. Except il
special cases and for certain crops or
gardening conditions. there is no ad.
vantage in rotting the manure; bet
ter apply it fresh from the stable be-
fore any loss occurs.

should hold it firmly. Now open the

withdraw its head; then, keeping the
rope tight pass it once around the
muzzle. up and over the stanchion

HOW :
RHEUMATISM

Where to Cut the Horns.

The horns should he severed from
quarter to a half inch below where
the skin joins the base of the horn,
cutting from the back toward the
front.
If the cut is made too high an irreg-
ular, gnarly growth Of horn is very
apt to follow. 1t will be seen that the
point of union Of the skin and horn
varies in different cattle; hence there
can be no rule of measurement, ex-
cept as the eye becomes trained to see
the point or line at which the cut
should be made. In the beef breeds
fully one-half inch of skin, all around,
Is usually taken off with the horn.

Delicate Mechanism

Despite its scope Swift &
Company is a business Of in
finite details, requiring infinite
attention.
Experienced men must know
livestock buying with a knowl-
edge Of weight price, the amount
and quality of meat the live
animals will yield.
Each manufacturing operation must
be done with expert skill and scientific
precision. A highly perishable product
must be handled with speed and care
to avoid loss.
Chemists, engineers, accountants,
and other specialists are required to
take care of our intricate problems.
Alert wisdom and judgment must
be used in getting stocks of goods into
the open channels of demand through
our four hundred branch houses.
Branch house organizations must
show activity and energy to sell at the
market in the face OF acute competi-
ton from other large packers, and
hundreds of small ones.
All these requirements ofintelligence,
loyalty, devotion to the task are met
in the personnel of Swift & Company.
Yet the profit is only a fraction of cent
per pound with costs at minimum.
