Prevention of Horns on
Young Calves Explained

In response to frequent requests,
a county agent, in. the Pacific Rural
Press, gives the following directions
for prevention Of horns. on young
calves: -. 80 .t .A:',st--S
When the calf reaches the-.age
from three. to fvefdays, clip away
the hair from around the horn but
tons to expose the spot where the
horns will normally develop. Take
a stick of caustic7 soda or caustic
potash and wrap one end with a
piece of paper to prevent the dan
ger of burning your fingers. Mois-
ten the uncovered end Of the .caus-
tic stick but do. not wet it so it
will run. Apply the wet end of the
caustic stick to the horn buttons,
first on one, then on.tthe other,
repeating this two or three times
until you are sure all of the horn
button has been thoroughly covered
with the caustic material. The caus-
tic should be allowed to dry after
each application. Under no condi-
ton permit the causticTto touch 9TH
er than the horn buttons. After COM
plotting the work keep. the calf away
from moisture that might reach the
horn buttons; and cause the caus
tic to run down, over. the face.

1t was typical of Ace that not
only did he appear the first day of
school wearing a Scottish costume
which his mother had bought in Ed
inburgh-it was typical of him that
he carried it off with distinction
and complete Inconsistencies.
l suppose that every other girl
in the class fell dead in love with
Ace that day. l did not however.
Already-yes, even then. Mark
Avery and I were meeting at the
crossroads to 60 to school togeth-
err. Ace broke hearts left and right
in his cocksure pilgrimage through
life. l am glad he did not break
mine. He never caused me even a
suspicion of heartache.
l saw more and more of Ace
however. We became great friends.
He always entertained and inter-
ested me. He was fascinating.
Ace, Patrick O'Brien and I were
the leading spirits in our class.
Patrick, as l have said, beat me in
the race for scholarship and was
graduated at the head. However,
although he was salutatorian,
was valedictorian. Ace never stud
led. He was never in danger of
reaching the head of the class, but
not once did he fall below the mid
die. How he remained so far above
it was a miracle, He had a good
mind, an instant and retentive
memory. Anything he could read
in fifteen minutes before class
opened, he could remember. The
rest was winning audacity and a
charming impudence. He was be-
yond discipline. Yet the teachers
all adored him.
Ace might have gone far, but he
was not ambitious. Except for his
one splendid adventure, all he
wanted out of life was easy money
for lavish entertaining.
The Blaikies had always been
important people in Plymouth
county. Their hou-e is without
doubt the most beautiful in Satuit.
The gardens are the pride of the
countryside.
Inside are gathered the inherit
ed family treasure, in furniture,
pictures, books, of nearly two cen
turtles.
The Blaikies had always had
money and very soon Ace began to
entertain. At first, it was chill
dren's parties-candy pulls and the
like; later it was dances and plen-
ty of them.
Ace went to Harvard; Harvard
was a tradition in the Blake fam
lily. He went to Harvard Medical.
Instead of finishing off in Germany,
as most doctors did in those days,
he chose to study in Paris. He
was there when the World war
broke. In the autumn he joined
the Foreign Legion. He was wound

ed that winter; when he recovered,
he volunteered for aviation. He
flew with the French army, until
we entered the war. Then he joined
our army. He became an ace
strange how life fulfilled the proph-
ecy of his nickname! He had five
enemy planes on his record. He
believed, himself, that he had
brought down two or three more;
but that, he could not prove. When
he came back from France, the
town gave him party-no one in
Satuit missed it. We asked him
to come in uniform wearing all his
decorations-the French and Bel
gian Croix de Guerre, the Me-
daille Militaire, the Legion dillon
neur and the DISC. I thought him,
that night, the handsomest male
creature l ever laid eyes on.
Then Ace settled down to prac-
tice in Satuit. Of course he could
not make money in so small a
place, but instantly he became a
great success. Personality helped
mere, MS own tremendous strength,
his robust vitality. For with Aces
entrance to a sick-room came a
gust of health-giving air. But per-
haps his greatest asset was that
sympathy with the sick, the old,
the weary and the discouraged. 1t
even helped that he liked girl-ba-
bies so much. However fathers
felt, mothers always knew an in
finite pride when they pleased Doc
tor Blake by bringing forth girl.
But for other reasons, the coun-
tryside adored Ace. One was his
reckless generosity. Anybody who
wanted to sell tickets, or to get up
fund for charitable purposes
made a Decline for Ace.
Nothing illustrates Ace more per-
fectly than the story of his treat
ment of Tom Boylan. Tom was the

Seeing Happiness

Happiness is the gift of seeing
the good things of life in such high
relief that the rest is unimportant.
Approve not of him who COM
mends everything you say.
When a man with an air as if it
were natural to him to give orders
is found, it isn't long before the
meek put him in a position to do
it.
If you have savage opinions,
people will be hypocritical to you
to keep on good terms.
Philosophers Task
1t is the work of philosopher
to be every day subduing passions
and laying aside prejudices.
When boy gets up to his ears
in love he is more careful about
washing them.
The well-bred man keeps his be-
liefs out of his conversation.
Nature doesn't eliminate fool
ishness. Civilized man has to
learn how, some day.
Using Abilities
The art of being able to make

reputation than real merit.
What men say when they are
angry is either the blazing truth
or very unreliable.

Alfalfa in Pig Ration

Alfalfa is sometimes added to the
pig ration to add minerals and vi
tamins, which are especially valu-
able in the sow ration. For grow
ing pigs, states writer in the Mon
treal Herald, alfalfa should not be
used as pigs cannot digest any ap-
preciable amounts of dry roughage.
Their digestive systems are not
adapted to such feed, either to di-
gest it or to hold enough of it to
make it satisfactory source of MI
trients especially if rapid growth is
to be obtained. ! Brood sows are a
different problem. They are large
but not growing, and hence can Oft
en- profit by having their rations
made more bulky.

Best Pork From
Conditioned Hog
Animals Should Weigh From
200 to $50 Lbs, to Make
the Best Meat.
BY H. w. Taylor, Extension Swine Special
ist North Carolina State College.
WNU Service.

VIM oCiNiSS.
Getting hogs in good condition
for slaughtering is one of the main
points in successful butchering. The
best pork comes from hogs that
are neither too young nor too old,
too fat or too thin.
Butcher hogs should be well fin
ished. A well finished hog weigh
ing from 200 to ESQ pounds produces
the most satisfactory pork for cur
ing on the farm.
Smooth, evenly Aeshed animals
produce a better meat, and will
cut up with less waste than coarse,
rough, iwrinkled, and fabby ones.
They. also are more tender, finer
textured, with the right proportion
of fat and lean. s = q
q. Hogs that are gaining in weight
are usually. the healthiest and will
make. the best meat. However, the
loss of few pounds in shipping
Before butchering will not lower the
quality of the meat.
The muscles of a thin hog are
tough. They lack the flavor and
juiciness found i'll a well marbled
piece of meat. .#
Extremely fat, heavy; hogs can:
not be converted into the best quail
ity cured pork. ..s..}
/. Although. hogs may be slaugh-
tered at any age, meat from young
pigs is watery and soft and does not
have thesf1avor and keeping quail
ties of meat from animals a little
older. ~ -.

Oats, Barley for Calves

In general oats are preferable to
barley for growing calves if one
must be fed to the exclusion of the
other. If both grains are on hand
use mixture of the two with oats
constituting at least " the combina-
ton. The addition of barley to the
oats, especially if the. latter happen
to be of poor quality, will materially
increase the feeding value. Barley
should not be fed as the sole grain
if it can be arranged to include
some other grain with the barley

SATURDAY-Continued

Ace looked strangely beautiful
and strangely dignifed in death
as though his body had been care
fully laid out, as indeed ultimate
ly we learned that it had. His
tunic lay straight and close about
his figure. His helmet lay at his
side. His tiny black velvet mask
lay beside it. Suddenly I seemed
to see for the first time the slit in
that tunic, a slit surrounded by a
rust-colored stain over the heart.
"Stabbed!" Patrick dropped
tersely. He too Ixnelt.
"Yes,'' Joe assented. "There it

1t was the weapon that had killed
Ace. 1t was his own sword; the
short sword of the Roman officer
which had stuck upright on the
left of his belt. The blade was I'm

A second wave of faintness came
over me. AS went into it, I heard
Patrick say, "Not suicide! And
somebody that he trusted killed him.
Whoever it was, he wiped the
blade clean" AS I came out of
it, l saw Patrick's stern eyes ex-
amining the ground about Aces
body
"Finger-prints!" Joe Geary sug-
gested sternly.
Patrick drew something shining
from his pocket and put it to his
lips. On the blast of his whistle,

childhood and sirlhood.
The period which 1 might de-
scribe as late babyhood provides
me with no picture of Ace, although
it is possible that I did see him then
at Sunday school, or on the beach.
Already the boys had shortened his
old New England name of Asa to
Ace-I little knew how appropriate
that nickname was to become. I
was exactly eight when l first be-
came conscious of his existence. I
remember perfectly how he looked

on him. The Blaikies had spent
that summer in Europe. Ace was
their only child and naturally their

creature present, the most striking

ANNAPOLIS. March 3.-Fran-
tic, behind-the-scenes manipula-
tions of Maryland Democrats are
expected to blossom tonight in a
new State leader who will step into
the place made vacant by the
death of the late Governor Albert
c. Ritchie.
The most outspoken claimant
for the leadership of the State is
Senator Millard E. Tydings. His
closest rival is Mayor Howard w.
jackson, of Baltimore. The test
of power may come tonight when
the Democratic members of the
house of delegates caucus on un.
seating Baltimore's Emanual Cor
fine. Democratic speaker of the
house.
Backed by Jackson
The revolt against Gorfine Is
being led by Kent R. Mullikin,
Democrat, Prince Georges, major
ity floor leader, who claims to
have the backing of jackson and
to have been given support by
Ritchie.
The core Of Gorfine's support
lies in the William Curran-con-
trolled members of the house from
Baltimore.

He also has been assured of the
backing of jackson. who can con-
troll approximately 10 of the men,

rams vaunted strength.
Bitter Undercurrent ..
Tydings has called meetings of

to block the effort to unseat Cor
fine.
jackson Is bitterly opposed to
Curran, who put Gorfine in the
SpeakerShip. according to Multi
kin. So keen is the enmity be-
tween Curran and Jackson that a
reconciliation Is not believed pos
sible at this time.
The fight in the caucus tonight
will show whether Mullikin, with
the supposed backing of jackson
can put his bloc in control of the
House, or whether Tydings has
sufficient power to Squelch the
fight and prevent any possible
rift in Maryland democracy.
If Mullikin wins Jackson will
be the nominal head of the party
in this State, and Tydings will
have to go to jackson for support
instead Of the%other way around.
