DEHoRNED CATTLE PREFERRED

Cattle buyers prefer dehorned cat tie, according to T. Roy Reid, agent in live stock marketing, Agricultur- al Extension Division. The absence of sharp horns on cattle which are sent to market means an average of about 25 cents per 100 pounds added 10 sneir value; and IL has frequers y been she ca th as much as $t.00 hundred has been deducted rom tne ae1uai value or the cattle because of scratches and bruises caused by horns. The loss of 25 cents per hundred amounts to S55.0O per car on the minimum car weight Of cattle.
 Not o.ly will Eester market prices be obtained, but dehorned cattle are more easily handled in the feed lots than are the cattle hav- ing horns. The stronger horned animals will often fight the others away from the feed troughs
 Young calves can be denorned by the use caustics before the horns appear. Older cattle should be de- horned by removing the horns with either saw or with 1ehor'"ng shears. This work should prefer aDly De lOIS III SilS cOOlGf stdsOn of the year in order to lessen the danger from flies. The animal can easily be thrown for the operation, but if number of cattle are to be dehorned it will be a saving in time and labor to build chute with an adjustable head stall at the end.
 The saw or shears should be placed on the horn so as to remove about a half of skin around the base of the horn. This prevents horn stubs or scurs from growing back on the head later. Consider able bleeding may result from the removal of the horns, but it is sell dom serious. It is not usually nec- essary to put anything on the wound, though pine tar will pre- vent infection by flies if the oper- ation is performed in fly season. It is well to disinfect all instru- ments used during the dehorning operation.

lr. Bryan FaUOrs Sunday Blue LaU

Washington, Dec. Civilian J. Irap has joined the reform forces rsaged in preparing legislative |nye for laws to compel Sunday ob- .rance and in doing so has re- kerated his cry for a single stand td of morals.
 Commenting on the moral cru sde being conducted in several of ke states and to be urged upon kOugreSs with Sunday observance kn for the District of Columbia, Er Bryan has written to the All luerican Conference on Social Dis sses asserting that he proposes to |ress his fight for the single stand Id of morality.

 This was followed by an appeal , the women to rally to the sup |prt of Mr. Bryan and others who kand with him. He would have Esbraska write into it's new consti- RtOn 8 provision for the single fandard"
 The women are here; their con kiences are with us; their influ-

THE NEW MAUD MULLER

(From the New York Heraid.) Maud Muller one November day Rose and raked the leaves away, Baked a batch of pumpkin pies, Set pan of bread to rise, Made the beds and swept the house, Killed bold marauding mouse, Hung the curtains out to air, Shook the rugs and combed her hair. Powdered up her pretty nose, Donned her new and nifty clothes, Seized her beaded bag so fine, Priced at nineteen fifty-nine, Hailed trolley, took ride, Reached the pools and tripped inside, And--although she bore no groudge, Cast her vote against the Judge.
