PREVENT HORNS on CALVES

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.) -, 20
When circumstances are favorable,
sas In the. case OF farmers iXho; build
up their herds by raising thu 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 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
1:"rm Of sticks about the thickness of
ar ordinary lead pencil and inches
long. These caustics must be handled
with care, as they dissolve the cuticle
and l. " make the hands or fingers
sore. the preparation of the calf con-
sists in t1rst clipping the hair from the
paris. ashing clean with soap and
war1l ater, and thoroughly drying
with u 10th or towel. The stick Of
'n'1s;;:: should be wrapped in q piece
ot 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 hornsbuttons 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 II 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 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 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 All
emulsion so per cent Of caustic soda,
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 q 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

Custom Of Preventing Growth Of Horns

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 q
disfgurcment.,

Puzzling.

In Tennessee they tell of judge,
a man we'll versed in the law but en-
tirely self-educated, who had to con-
tend with the difficulties of ortho-
graphy. In the old days he lived in
Knoxville, and for a long time he in
sisted upon spelling it knoxville" I"
Finally his friends educated him up
to the point of prefxing K; so
thoroughly in fact, was he learned,
that few years later, when he NOV
ed to Nashville, nothing could pre-
vent him from spelling it "Knash-
VILE"
Then some time later, the judge
moved again, this time to Murfrees-
boro. On the day that he began to
write his first letter from this place
he scratched his head in perplexity
and finally exclaimed:
''I give it up! How on earth can
they spell the name of this place
with a K?"

Labor Supply Less, Demand Greater

Saluda, April S.-According to the
government report released today by
B. B. Hare, South Carolina field agent
of the bureau of crop estimates. |. S.
department of agriculture, the supply
of farm labor in South Carolina is
20 per cent. less and the demand 8
per cent. more than on the CORE
spending date of last year; while for
the entire United States the supply
is 15.6 per cent. less with an increase
in demand of 10 per cent. The av-
erage wages of male farm labor per
month by the year with board in
South Carolina is reported at $3.50,
and without board at $50, the aver
age wage per day for other than har-
vest work with board being Sill
to include not only ratlons
but living quarters, fuel and
two or more acres of land
is called to the fact that these figures
represent money wages and when
board is furnished it is the custom
not only rations but living quarters,
fuel and two or more acres of land
free of rent, the same being fertiliz-
ed, cultivated and harvested in the
same manner as that worked for the
landlord.
The estimated number of sows in
the State for breeding purposes is 8
per cent. more than last year.
The condition of wheat and rye is
excellent, both being reported at 80
per cent. of normal, the ten-year av-
erage for wheat on April /, being 81
per cent and rye so per cent.

The traffic in illicit whiskey in
Bamberg is a growing industry, judg-
ing from the number of drunken peo-
ple now to be seen constantly. That
the LIQUOR is being made in the coun-
ty there is little doubt. Sheriff Ray
states that it is practically impossible
to apprehend the liquor sellers and
makers unless he is given assistance.
The sheriff is in hopes of securing
help from the State government, and
he says if he can get the necessary
assistance he will clean them out.
1t is a peculiar fact that blind tiger
stills is one of the hardest PROPOSE
tions to handle which jthe officers
have to contend with. The majority
of good people, even though they are
not in sympathy with the traffic, will
hesitate or outright refuse to cooper
ate with the officers in running down
the blind tigers. The time is coming
when some determined action will
have to be taken, else the traffic will
assume menacing proportions. 1t
looks like there will be very little
help from the national government
for some time to come. 1t was ex-
pected the revenue department would
enforce national prohibition after
July 1, but the revenue service states
that it is not it's province to do so.
AS congress made no appropriation
for the enforcement of the law, there
is not likely to be much enforcing
done by the federal authorities until
such appropriation is made. In the
meantime it is up to the law respect
ing citizens to cooperate with the Off
GERS if any relief is to be had.

Anti-Theft Device for Motor Cars.

To check automobile thieving is
the purpose of an electric accessory
lately devised for the motor car,
which is shown in a recent issue of
Popular Mechanics. Essentially the
contrivance consists of an automo-
bile siren connected in a dry-battery
circuit with a mercury switch. When
the car is in motion, vibrations agi'
tate the mercury so that the gap is
bridged and contact formed, sound
ing the horn in the event the circuit
is closed. Thus if anyone, without
