DEHORNING CALVES

Compared with the practice of clip
ping or saving in dehorning calves,
the use of caustic potash is more hu-
name, requires less time, and carries
with it no danger to the animal such
as that caused by hemorrhages and
infection of flies. 1t can be done any
season of the year, and the animal
is too young to suffer any severe set
back in growth, as no excessive bleed
ing results. luck potash is preferable
to the caustic potash solution, as the
latter is likely to run down and scar
the skin and hair, and may also get
INTO the eyes. Clip away the haj
round the documentary horn, make a
slight cut in the soft horn with the
shears, and then apply the caustic
by rubbing the tip of the stick on the
button" until it becomes moist, red
or shows signs of bleeding. Be sure
that all parts of the horn are burnt
in the process; otherwise scurs ant
stub horns will grow later. After the
treatment has been given, do not al
low the calf to stand out in the rain
as this may result in the same dan
ger which accompanies the causti'
potash solution. - Alfalfa Journa
