other extension forces. The demon
strators showed how to remove horns
with clippers and saws, and with the
use of caustic soda and caustic potash
to prevent the growth of horns on
calves. Dehorning chutes. for holding
cattle while being dehorned, were also
constructed by the demonstrators, who
emphasized the Importance of using
them instead of resorting to such prac-
tices as throwing the animals with
ropes, tying them to fences or similar
methods which are unsatisfactory. In
a number of cases farmers were per-
mitted to dehorn one or two animals
to become familiar with the operation.
The method Of dehorning depends in
each case upon the age of the cattle,
specialists of the department say.
Demonstrations with young calves
showed how the growth of horns can
be prevented by properly applying
eaustic soda or caustic potash. Older
s.alves and other cattle were dehorned
either with the saw or clippers. While
clippers remove the horn more quick
ly and with less pain to the animal.
the saw has the advantage Of not
crushing the horn, especially in the
case of old animals whose horns, are
hard and brittle. Neither does the
saw cause as much bleeding, since by
Iacerating the blood vessels 1t causes
clot of blood to form quickly.

NO PLACE FOR SCRUB STOCK

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricuiture.)
Scrub live stock is no longer fit for
perpetuation In the United States. A
scrub is wasteful Of feed and wastefuI
of its owners labor. The scrub animal
has served ifs purpose as connecting
link between the old obsolete method
of farming and new progressive meth
DDS. Thousands of farmers In this
country already have discarded scrub
stock and are better off because of
that decision. Purebreds are worth
more to keep and are worth more to
sell. The scrub animal has been use
full as a connecting link. but our aim
from now on should be to make the
scrub extinct and to make It the miss
ing link so far as live stock Is con-
cerned. That cannot be done imnedi-
ately, but it is the goal toward which
we should work.

FOUNDATION FOR DAIRY HERD
Excellent Results Obtained in Starting
With Grade Calves From Good
Producers.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Young calves from good dairy cows
are satisfactory foundation for start
ing dairy herd. Ordinarily the meth
od advocated is to grade up common
cows with pure-bred bull, requiring
q number of years of patient selection
and breeding-a period sometimes dis
couraging to an energetic dairyman.
Frequently this causes farmers, who
want results too quickly, to change
breeds.
1t is expensive to buy mature dairy
cows that are free from disease, that
have good breeding and show desirable
productive ability. Often, especially in
new GARY sections, a farmer buys ma
ture stock without being properly pre-
pared to care for it, and many dis
eouragements follow. To q great ex-
tent most of this difficulty can be
avoided by buying good grade heifer
calves from herds of well-established
milk production. In some dairy re-
gions it Is common practice to sell
the heifer calves for veal. These calves,
while only grades, are usually from
good producing ancestors and carry
a productive ability much greater than
common cows.
The buying of such calves to start
dairy herds has been tried in several
states with excellent results. OF
course the cost of small calves is much
less than mature animals and the dam
ger of disease is also greatly lessened.
In general, shipping is simpler. Calves
may be shipped by express at from two
to four weeks old, depending upon the
distance, with good results, If they are
cared for upon arrival.
In buying it is important to deal
only with dairymen. Do not buy from
men who purchase calves at stock
yards TO ship back to the farmers, be-
cause it is not always possible to de-
termine the breeding Of the calves, and
calves that are physically unfit may be
shipped.
In some cases shipments are made
c. o. D., which enables the buyer to
see the calves before paying for them.
