PREVENT HORNS ON CALVES
Either Caustic Soda or Caustic Potash
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 practiced 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 it's 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 cloth or towel. The stick of
caustic should be wrapped in a piece
OF paper to protect the hands and fin
gers, leaving one end of the stick un-
covered.
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. II 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 it 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 tc
run down over the face. This must
be carefully avoided.
Either caustic soda or caustic 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 O.
one or the other of these cauStics
were generally used, and as inquire!
are still occasionally received concern
ing such preparations, the following
formula is given: Combine in al

UNDER THE MOUNTAIN.

Paul Hewlett, lettering at night
in Madison square, New York, IS
approached by an Eskimo dog. He
follows the dog to gambling house
and meets the animals mistress
coming out with a large amount OF
money. She is beautiful and In dis
tress and he follows her. After
protecting her from two assailants
he takes her in charge, and puts
her in his own rooms for the rest
Of the night. He returns a little
later to find a murdered man in his
rooms and Jacqueline dazed, with
her memory gone. He decides to
protect Jacqueline, gets rid of the
body and prepares to take. her to
Quebec in a search for her home.
Simon Leroux, searching for JAG
queline for some unfriendly pur-
pose, finds them, but Hewlett
evades him. Hewlett calls the girl
his sister. In Quebec he learns that
she is the daughter of a recluse in
the wilds, Charles Duchaine. Pere
Antoine tells Hewlett Jacqueline is
married and tries to take her away.
Jacqueline is spirited away and
Hewlett is knocked out, but both
escape and arrive at st. Boniface.
On their sled journey to Chateau
Duchaine their dogs are poisoned
and Hewlett goes snowblind. Jac-
queline RECEIVERS her memory and
leaves Hewlett. Pere Antoine res
cues Hewlett from death in the
snow. He says Jacqueline is the
wife OF Louis d'Epernay, nephew
Of Charles Duchaine.

torrent on either side!
But-how had M. Charles Duchaine
gained entrance there?
There seemed to be no entrance.
And yet the chateau stood before my
eyes, no dream but very real indeed
Before reached the hut again I had
formulated my plan. I would start at
dawn, or earlier, aud work around
these mountains, a circuit of perhaps
twenty miles, approaching the chateau
by the edge of the lake. l concluded
that there must exist ridge of mar
row beach between the whirlpool and
the castle, though it was invisible
from above, and that the entrance
would disclose itself to me in the
course of my journey.
Although the sun was well above
the horizon when 1 awoke I started
out on the fourth morning eager to
achieve the entrance to the chateau
First / plodded back to the two
mountains which guarded the ap
proach to the valley, then worked
round along the flank Of the ridge OF
peaks, searching for an entrance. The
further I went, however, the higher
and more precipitous became the
mountains.
There was no visible entrance tC
that mountain lake on any side, ant
to descend that sheer, ice-coated preci
pice was an impossibility.
1t was long after nightfall when

and dispirited.

The time has come to frankly glory
in perfect health and vigor, for the
up-to-date girl cannot be good sports
woman without them. And the
healthy woman who is fond of sports
is an agreeable person to have about.
She has interests that will keep her
young, charms that will last and ac-
tivities that will prevent her from get
ting disastrously fat. Costumers see
to it that she is clad becomingly for
whatever sports she elects to follow,
and they have made the riding habit.
Of all sports clothes, the trimmest and
the most flattering.
There are some special habits for
summer wear that are worn by enthu-
siastic horsewomen who are devoted
to this sport all the year round. They
are made of heavy cotton basket
weaves and whipcords, and are pat
erned after the habits of wool. White
china silk blouses are worn with them
and top boots in black or brown

A very chic outfit is made up OF
cotton whipcord breeches, china silk
! blouse and sleeveless coat of black OF
dark blue serge. The combination
looks as crisp and cool as snow.

The present styles in afternoon
gowns play into the hands of many
women who have learned to make one
frock serve for both afternoon and
evening. They managed very well in
this same matter during the war, when
evening dress was taboo, and now
Paris has dealt the cards so that the
game becomes easy. There is vogue
for bare arms, or very abbreviated
sleeves, on French gowns, that is re-
f1ected here in short sleeves made Of
the sheerest fabrics that merely veil
the arms. 1t doesn't take much ma
neuvering on the part of a clever
woman to place an afternoon frock of
this kind in the class of evening gowns.
The addition of the right accessory
the removal of guimpe. the arrange
ment of the coiffure-and the trick is
turned.

Custom of Preventing Growth Of Horns
Is Becoming More Popular.

25 per cent of kerosene, and 25 per
cent of water. The cauStic soda is
dissolved in the water and heated to
the boiling point, then removed from
the fire, and the kerosene added grad
ually, 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 a short, stiff brush.
Sometimes a meat skewer is used, the
large end being mashed to form a
stubby brush. Two or three applica-
tions 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 will ultimately
develop into a horn, has scarcely any
attachment to the skull, and may be
felt as a small button embedded in
the skin. In this early stage it may
be easily removed with a sharp knife
or a pair of curved scissors, but even
then caustics should be applied to kill
any remaining cell life belonging to
this germ point; otherwise there may
be some subsequent irregular horn
| growth, which is more or less Of 8

This was to be my last night in the
cabin. I could not return, not though
l were perishing in the SHOWS.
Happily my eyes were now entirely
well, and my hands, though chapped
and roughened from the frostbites,

the sixth morning, when the dawn was
only red streak on the horizon and
the stars still lit my way.

myself upon my snowshoes, I heard 8

there is a fiat ribbon girdle about the

the blood has no power to change food into

greater resistance to ward off disease.
Numbers of nervous, rundown people who
