Removing the horns during the
early calf stage leaves the head
| in better shape, a condition very
desirable where heifers are TO be
retained for the breeding herd
but unfortunately fifty to seven
ty-fve per cent Of growing cattle
carry horns.
The stick should be wrapped in
paper to prevent burning the
hands. Don't wet the stick SO
much that it runs. Don't let the
calves out in the wet for a few
hours, or the caustic will be wash
ed Of. To save time where there
are a number of calves to treat,
the animals should be tied, and
the operator work down the line,
starting each time on the same
animal. By the time the last
animal is reached the caustic will
have dried sufficiently on the
first one to allow of the second
application.
Clippers and Saw.
After the calf is over two
weeks of age, it is necessary to
either saw or clip off the horns.
The dehorning clippers are
quicker and. whilst in either case
any pain caused is largely
momentary, the clippers are less
painful to the animal. Clippers
are recommended for young cattle
but the saw is advisable on older
stock, so as to prevent splinter
ing of the bone and slow healing.
Some stockmen prefer using the
clippers altogether, largely as a
matter of saving time. Other
stockmen prefer the saw. A safe
compromise for the tanner would
be to use dehorning clippers on
the soft horns of young stock and
the saw on the brittle horns of
older stock. A dehorning clip
pers costs about $l4.50, a dehorn-
ing saw about $3.50, and caustic
potash about Is cents per stick.
Care should be taken in all
cases to remove the horn as close
to the skull as possible so that
unsightly and dangerous stubs
may not grow out. II is advisable
to cut in about one quarter inch
below the skin on the horn. so
that the horn-forming cells may
be destroyed, thus preventing
any further growth.
The experimental farms sys-
tenn Of Canada in all the PROVING
es have been conducting some
actual feeding tests Of horned
and dehorned cattle and they re-
port as follows:
The weight of evidence in
favor of feeding dehorned stock
should give tremendous impetus
to the policy. In one typical case
a lot of. eight dehorned steers
made an average gain of %
pounds over a similar number of
horned animals; another lot of
twenty-four dehorned steers
made average gains of Al pounds
in three weeks; one lot Of eight
steers dehorned and running
loose made an average gain of
1864 pounds. and another lot a
total gain of $40 pounds, In all
cases dehorned steers running
loose made superior gains to tied
steers.
Dehorning permits of loose
feeding. a method very conducive
TO good gains. In a large MAORI.
ty Of cases, no reduction in
weight occurred and where met
with. the loss was overcome by
very substantial gains by the
end Of two to four weeks. Ii is
for these reasons that al ex,
tensive cattle feeders practice
dehorning.
The value Of purchasing steers
already dehorned is abundantly
proved by experiment and ex
perience. Thirty-fve steers de

FARMERS DEHORN YOUR
CATTLE

Cattle that have been dehorned
sell on the markets at from 25C
to SOC per hundred weight higher
than cattle with horns. In all
phases of the feeding, shipping
and selling Of your cattle dehorn-
ing is Of the greatest economic
importance for the following
reasons: Contentment in the
herd on the farm or range. an
equal chance in the feed lot,
easier handling, best results from
feed consumed, arrive at yards
with less shrinkage in transit,
better prices obtained. stock and
feeder shippers from the yards
insist on dehorned stock, no
bruises to meat or hides to lower
sale price.
One of the largest commission
firms in the west makes the fol-
lowing statement TO the Depart
ment of Agriculture of Canada,
No single step or operation in
the handling of cattle yields big
ger returns in money than the
single act of dehorning. The
absence of horns on a bunch of
steers usually adds Is cents TO
% cents per hundred to their
value. All buyers prefer dehorn-
ed steers, even for local
slaughter, as the carcasses are
likely to be free from bruises and
injuries; but the most important
fact is that many eastern ship
pers refuse TO bid on horned
cattle on account of the practical
certainty that some of them will
be injured in transit. In the case
of bunch of steers that except
for their horns would just suit
the eastern shipper, the differ,
ence may amount to as much as
25 cents to so cents per hun.

When to Dehorp.
All authorities agree that de
horning should not be performed
in hot weather. Possibly tn,
best time is from the middle o.
March to the middle of April dur
ing spring, and in October dur
ing the autumn. In the case o
calves where caustic potash i
used, the time is rs soon as pos
sible after birth.
A Simple Operation
The easiest way to remove tn
