PROPER WAY OF OEHORNINQ.
Mistakes Made by UsInQ Instruments
Which Cause Lasting Injury.
Whether or not dehorning is cruel
depends upon the methods employed
and the Instruments used. It Is stat
ed by an nuthorlty that lu the dehorn
ing of over 10,000 cows with the saw
there were no deaths due to the opera
tion, while In cows dehorned by
shears there was trouble afterward In
healing of the wounds, due, no doubt,
to the crushfng, fracturing action
which this Instrument dab upon old
horns where ossification of the cores
1b advanced.
It 1b not usual to apply uny prepare-

The Results of Improper Dehorning,
tlon after tho operation or dehorning
to prevent bleeding, as the loss of
blood Is not sufficient, as a rule, to be
of consequence. Care should bo talc
en, however, to prevent substances
from getting Into the openings left
after the horns nro removed. The
horn cores are elongations of the
frontal bones of the skull, and are
hollow. They communicate with the
frontal sinuses, or air spaces, of the
head; therefore foreign substances or
fragments of horn which act as an
Head of Steer
Bhowlno Result hf;'
Proper Dehorning
Irritant In these cavities are apt to
set up an Inflammation, resulting In
the formation of pus cr an abscess,
which may prove quite serious.
Occasionally animals nfter being
dehorned and turned out of the sta
ble will rub their heads against a
dirt or gravel bank or the rough
hark of a tree, and foreign material
may thus get into the cavities, though
usually the soreness of the parts Is
sufficient to prevent this.
If the animals are dehorned In
warm weather It is well to apply some
pine tar with a view to keeping flies
from the wounds. Some operators da
this In nearly all cases, thinking that
it facilitates healing. 1 he dehorning
operation should always, when pos
sible, be performed in cool weather,
and upon animals which have at least
attained the age of two years.
Useful Dairy Notes.
If you haul your milk to the cream
ery invest ?5 in a cover for your
wagon. It will save its cost In a
week.
Dont forget to salt the cows. They
need It now as much as In the winter
time.
The big, raw-boned crib-Hke dairy
cow Is going out of style and the
smaller, well-formed animal is assert
ing her superiority.
Oliver Grldley, an Iowa dairyman,
uses a gasoline engine, a milking ma
chine and lights the barn with elec
tricity. He began with a few cows.
A Wisconsin man fed one of his
cows ?60 worth of feed last year, and
her pasture, feeding, mtlking and sta
bling cost $11.50 more, making her
total cost $71.50, but she produced
$90 worth of butter, ?17.70 worth of
manure, $1 worth of skim milk and
a calf worth $5, making ber total In
come $114.
Salting cows regularly has much
to do with tho ease or difficulty with
-which the butter will come. Let them
have access to salt at all times.
Good Way to Test.
Is any butter fat getting away from
you? Tho dally loss may be small,
but in the aggregate It amounts to a
goodly sum. A test of .01 of ono per
cent fat in skim milk contains' .01 ol
a pound of fat In 200 pounds oi
skim milk this amounts to .02 pounds
of fat, and If butter fat is worth 30
cents per pound, .02 multiplied by 80
centa gives .6 of a cent, which is ap
proximately the value of the fat lost
from 200 pounds of skim milk when
the test of the skim milk Is .01 pet
cent In 2,000 pounds it would amount
to six cents, and In 10,000 pounds 30
cents. If the loss per day Is .6 cent,
then the loss per year may be found
by multiplying .6 cent by the number
of days In the year. As a rule, the
test of the skim milk is about the
same, regardless of the test of the
