the picture still unfinished Abel has
been signed to a term contract.
Abel" says Leisen, lis doing a
splendid job. It's all very simple.
He's just changing his pace. He's
hitting a faster, livelier tempo, and
he's going in for light and romantic
acting"
Until Leisen got hold of Abel he
had played only very serious roles.
Those of district attorney pre-
dominated. All of which added up
to fierce purpose, with never a
smile in 80 minutes Of entertain
ment.
Leisen has had great deal to do
with the broadening out of many
other stars who were consigned to
the one-type category. One of his
first 're-discoveries" was Carole
Lombard. Until she appeared in
Leisen's Hands Across the Table"
Of four years ago, Carole had been
playing a suave, sophisticate. This
was because, she admitted, she
didn't know how to let loose of
her emotions. 1t was Leisen who
developed and released her natural
fair for comedy, so Carole has been
going great guns-to the extent of
$3.50 900 picture-ever since.
Leisen Is Modest.
At the same time, Leisen took
charge of the career of Fred Mac
Murray, who was nothing more than
Boy Scout actor when he first
began five years ago. MacMurray
lost most of his self consciousness
when he appeared with Carole in
Hands Across the Table" In that
picture he stopped trembling and
worrying about his lines. And no
one was more surprised than Mac
Murray himself to discover at the
preview that he had been trans
formed into something resembling
comic.
The same picture marked the
progression of another actor, Ralph
Bellamy, who had landed in q rut.
Sometimes he was a stalwart hero;
sometimes a heel. 1t was Leisen
who put that dumb, faraway look
in Bellamy's eyes, and ever since
then Bellamy has had more work
than he can handle.
Although he is modest and re-
fuses to take bows, Leisen actually
is responsible for taking the ham
out of Bob Hope and starting him
of on the high road to success as
Paramount's ace comedian. When
Hope first landed in Hollywood from
the f1ve-a-day time, he was tabled
as strictly vaudevillian." Leisen
spent a year Kidding Bob Of lot
of old tricks, meanwhile pleading
for a chance to feature him in "The
Big Broadcast" Everybody remem-
bers what happened. Hopes per-
formance and his singing of that
haunting song, Thanks for the
Memory" made screen history and
a new star overnight.
TITS quite simple" says Leisen.

DehOrning of good grade Mon
tana feeder cattle and calves has
come to be an accepted practice
because of the price premium
hornless cattle have commanded
over those which are horned. 1t
is satisfying illustration of what
market demand can do in promOt-
ing improvement.
1t is neither thrifty nor sound prac-
tice to permit calf to reach 10 or
IL months of age retaining its horns
There is yet substantial shipping loss
from bruises. One plant reported over
81 300 loss on SO stub-horned cows
A survey of 81 lots of cattle number
ing 2.486 head showed 339 of them
bruised during marketing. 1t behooves
us to get that last IA percent of our
western cattle dehorned
There is still another advantage
from dehorning besides reducing car
caSs bruises and obtaining more money
per head. 1t is space saving. Feeders
report that this is a substantial item
in feed lots. 1t likewise applies to
wintering in corralS and feed yards
in the west as we'll as to space saved
in the railroad car when shipping.
This last makes something of money
saving in many instances.
OF course. the very best method of
denornrng is through the use of polled
sireS. This. however, is far from pos
sible for every breeder to do, primari-
~ because top-quality pclled bulls are
not available in sufficient numbers.
The most satisfactory time for de-
horning is generally conceded to be
in the spring or early summer. Com
mercial dehorning pasteS or cauStics
are successful, if properly used, until
the calf is or 6 weeks of age. From
this time until branding-12 or IA
weeks of age-the dehorning spoon
does a good job.
Satisfactory directions from the
manufacturers are included with these
products Reputable brands should al
ways be preferred to bargains"
Spring dehorning is fast becoming
a necessity because more and more
breeders are marketing their calves
each year. Another advantage is found
in the lighter shrink at the younger
age.
Fall dehorning is usually done by
the older means of the dehorning saw
or mechanical dehorners Most breed
erS rate the cup type dehorner first,
the saw second and the large flat
blade type third. Some producers ad-
Yocate dehorning the calves the same
day as they are weaned. Their reason
is that two shrinks are consolidated
into one with resultant saving Of
time "off feed"
Three cautions should never be
omitted from a discussion Of dehorn-
ing First, never dehorn in 'flytime."
In our lower ranges this is a rather
long period duriflg early summer and
fall. Second. the operation should al
ways include ring of hair at the
base of the horn. These skin. cells
produce the horn-shell and an animal

especial use to keep always at hand.

it should at once be returned to its

include light claw hammer, medium

slip joint pliers, small tin ships, box
