houses, feasting with keen appetites on
unlimited quantities of boiled ribs. we
have all the creature comforts.

friends far away, or the chance to hear
opera or see the movies. At any rate,
it is true that today in the movie in

PREVENT HORNS ON CALVES
Without Other Substances Is
Satisfactory.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
When circumstances are favorable,
as in the case of farmers who build
up their herds by raising the progeny,
the horns may be prevented from
growing by a simple and practically
painless method, and the custom Of
preventing the growth of the horns is
becoming more popular and more gen.
orally practieed under all conditions
except in the case Of calves dropped
on the open range. The calf should
be treated not later than one week af-
ter its birth. preferably when it is
from three to five days old. The agent
to be used may be either caustic soda
or caustic potash, both of which may
be procured in the drug stores in the
form of sticks about the thickness of
an ordinary lead pencil and inches
long. These caustics must be handled
with care, as they dissolve the cuticle
and may make the hands or fingers
sore. The preparation of the calf con-
sists in first clipping the hair from the
parts, washing clean with soap and
warm water, and thoroughly drying
with a cloth or towel. The stick of
caustic should be wrapped in piece
OF paper to protect the hands and fin
gers, leaving one end of the stick I'M
covered.
y Moisten the uncovered end slightly
and rub it on the horn buttons or little
points which may be felt on the calf's
head, first on one and then the other,
alternately, two or three times on
each, allowing the caustic to dry after
each application. Be very careful to
apply the caustic to the horn button
only. IL it is brought in contact with
the surrounding skin it will cause pain.
Be very careful also not to have too
much moisture on the stick of caustic,
as il will remove the skin If allowed
| to run down over the face. After treat
ment, keep the calf protected from
rain, as water on the head after the
application of caustic will cause it to
run down over the face. This must
be carefully avoided.
Either .caustic soda or caastic pot
ash alone. without the admixture OF
other substances, answers the purpose
satisfactorily. Some years ago, how
ever, certain preparations or "dehorn-
ing compounds composed largely OF
one or the other of these caustics,
were generally used, and as inquiries
| are still occasionally received concern
Ing such preparations, the following
formula is given: Combine in an

Custom Of Preventing Growth of Horns
Is Becoming More Popular.

25 per cent of kerosene, and % per
cent of water The caustic soda ID
dissolved in the water and heated TO
the boiling point, then removed from
the FIRE. and the kerosene added grad
uaIly, while the mixture is vigorously
stirred. This emulsion is applied in
very much the same manner as the
stick caustic, except that It is neces-
sary to employ short. stiff brush.
Sometimes a meat skewer IS used, the
large end being mashed to form a
stubby brush. Two or three applica-
lions should be made to each horn
button, as in the case of the stick
caustic, with intervals to allow it to
dry.
In the very young calf the horn
button. or point that win ultimately
develop into q horn. has scarcely any
attachment to the skull, and may be
felt as small button embedded in
the skin. In this early stage it may
be easily removed with sharp knife

then caustIcs should be applied to kill
any remaining cell life belonging to
this germ point otherwise there may

Brown Is the Favorite
For Street Wear
FOR street wear all tones of
brown are popular, shades of
sand as we'll as marron being among
them. Gray, too, is used for some
of the new coats. There is, how
ever, departure from brown in
sports and motor coats, which are of
very high colorings, notably scarlet,
shades of orange, emerald green
and bright blue.
Mingling with these are the popu-
lar camers hair coats in the natural
colorings which will always be
favorites because they are both
practical and good looking. This
preference for various shades of
brown is no doubt accountable for
the fact that camel's hair cloth,
which we have considered only as a
material for motor and sports coats,
has now found it's way into street
coats.

some autumn coats a deep fringe is

waistline after the manner of the

of chenille and silk cords, which
give a much heavier effect than the

Beautiful New Weaves

duction of these lovely feminine

expensive in these days, but despite
that fact women are wearing wells
more than ever before. The Chan
tllly lace veil in both black and
colors is favorite, being worn in
flowing style.
Vying with the lace wells arc
those Of washable cotton net en-
broidered in fast colors. These wash
able wells are rectangular in shape,
of generous size, and always navy,
castor or brown in color. This sea-
son witnesses the decline of an old
time favorite, the taupe veil.
Fancy mesh wells combining two
or more patterns are being made up
into scarf wells to which tulle bor-
ders are stitched. The border is
sometimes embroidered in a heavy
chain stitch similar to the pattern
of the net.
