THI f Dawning Calves ', Many dairymen object to the horns on dairy cattle. and practice dehorn- ing the cattle they are to keep in their Iherds. The horns are of no value, iand may be I source of injury to the 'cattle themselves and to the care I taker. wrong with the feeding or the gen- eral management. June-hatched Leghorn: have between six and seven months growth by the first of Jan.. uary Ind should be ready to ful the egg basket by that time. - The problem with the late-hatched chicks is to keep them growing rapidly with just the right amount of) forcing and no more. It is hard to) express that in words, but the experi-‘ enced poultrymen soon learns Just how much food and care a pallet needs to keep her stepping right along to- ward maturity. Boiled oats are cheap, desirable feed. The chicks will eat a large quantity and it will stretch their crops and give them the capacity of large consumers. In the early fall the birds can be forced by mixing boiled pumpkin with the dry mash until it is a crumbly mixture. This seems to stimulate the appetite and the birds are able to eat a great deal of growth-making material. When feed is high there is a tempta- tion to try and raise the late-hatched chicks as cheaply as possible. Often it results in underfed stock. That is the kind that never pay for the little that they do get. The underfed late-hatched pullet is bound to out down poultry profits. They are suf- fleiently out already. In the case of pure-bred cattle in- tended for show purposes it is advis- able to leave well-shaped "horns on the animals, as the horns add to the appearance of their heads. In some use: sales of animals might depend upon whether or not they have horns. Chiekensrof a size should flock to- gether, else the larger and stronger thrive at the expense of the weak. It Ii: because the "survival of the fittest" |is a law which operates among chick- lye that along in the summer, when iyoung stock has been a considerable l period on free range, the'poultry-keep- ier should cull out the small, inferior, lunt-hrifty birds. There are always lsuch in a flock of any size. He Eshould give them a coop and run by {themselves and feed them fairly. In dehorning dairy animals the de.. crease in milk flow is not so great as commonly believed. In the case of one herd of 25 cows in milk which were dehorned, the milk flow was low.. ered for three days, but after, this time became normal, and at the end of the first week after dehorning was slightly higher than the previous week, as shown by the daily milk sheet. The greatest difficulty in de- homing is getting the animal secure- ly tied. For this purpose a strong chute or cattle stocks should be used. It is best not to dehorn cows heavy In calf, as they may injure themselves in the chute. When the animal is securely tied the horns can be taken off by means of a special horn clipper, or sawed off with a sharp saw. In &9er to get a well-shaped poll and to insure against the horn growing attain, one should so cut the horn that it will have a ring of hair tehen it is re. moved. A more simple and humane method is to kill the horns on the young calf by means of caustic potash or caustic soda. This will also give the cattle a better shaped head. In using this method the calves must be treated before they are two weeks old, or at least while the little button-like growths are still very small and soft. (t,tjifigbyrrt.iy Should the animal bleed too freely, this can generally be sueeessfu11y stopped by using pine tar and cotton. It is best to dehorn in the early spring or late fall, thus avoiding the danger that flies may cause to open wounds. It is not likely that any of these, either pallets or eoeherels, will be suitable to keep for laying or breed- ing purposes, but they will unless diseased, grow under the treatment suggested and can be marketed pro- fitably for meat. Culling should be a persistent, con- tinuous process the first year. Under- sized, misshapen, and crippled chick.. 1-315 should be groomed for market as soon as their ineligibility for the per- manent flock is noted. Crippled hens make poor layers because they do not get enough to eat in competition with the rest of the flock. Undersized hens usually lay small eggs and few of them-they have not capacity to convert feed in large enough quanti- ties; Misshapen" birds an usually be safely suspected of defieieneies in the productive functions. Culls d these sorts should be penned by themselves in preparation for market.

One thing that t always do when I am looking a cow over that is for sale. is to feel her udder all over. I bought a cow once that I neglected to do that to, and after getting her home I found there were lumps in her udder. _ While I never have had any bother {from them, I do not think that it is I well to buy a cow with such; they may :develop into something serious. There is the risk one must take when getting a strange animal-tuber- culosis. There are not, to the Sidin- ary purchaser at least, any ex nal signs which would give him a clew tel her being tubercular. Of course, l she was so bad that she was going to) die within a very short while, then there might be some indications that all was not all right. But a cow in that condition would not be up for sale. It is the cow that is apparent- ly well, and still has tuberculosis which will develop, that. the buyer makes the mistake when purchasing. There seems to be only one way that one can protect himself when he is buying strange cows; that is to know _that the cow has been tested recent- ly. Unless one is getting a cow very cheap it does not pay to take a ‘chance getting an untested cow from ‘ strangers. And then, if a cow is sold 'too cheaply, then is the time to sus- E'pect that there must be something I wrong somewhere, or she would not be i sold cheap! I do not remember of ever reading} in any book about trying a eow's, teats, to see if she milks easy. I. have learned that to have a hard milk- i, er, is trying on one's patience. So l, always try each tent to see if they are easy to get the milk out of. l Of course, there are supposed tobo ways to tell how old a cow is by look- ing tor the rings on her horns. The first ring is supposed to mean three years and each other one‘represents another year. But there has to be more or less judgment used with this method, I have found. Especially if the horns have been broken or worn a lot. Then again, there are many cows that are without horns. I always look at the front teeth, which, if nlce shd even, I would be more apt to feel that she was not very old, " old ms sometimes have teeth that are well worn off or broken. But with ell these ways to tell, one must do a lot of "sizing up" also, one old farmer told me he did when he bought cows. I do On the ball ground you will find them, But he does not seem to mind them.

TIE MT OF BUYING COWS I not remember of “or finding ,3 cow over ten or twelve year: old that was Ifor sale. After that use it seems to If one can buy a cow just before she "comes in" here is a better chance then to get some money back that has been invested; the calf is worth something. And then unis she can be taken care of and one can get the full benefits from her, where if she was bought lat.. er on she man have dropped off in her milk flow, enough so that to get her to do her best, one would have to wait until she freshens again. be easy for the owner to forget. Jhr. less one hu a particular reason; it is well not to buy an old cow; if a young cow is bought and does not suit it is much easier to get rid of her than an older one. If one buys a cow that is fresh or about to freshen there is less chance that she is an nborter. Purchasing a cow that has had her calf for some months, or one that has had her salt just sold (t) makes the risk of getting a cow that has abortion greater. Once abortion gets into a herd, it is hard to get it out. There is no test for abor- tion. It sometimes takes years to get it out of I herd. Of course, if one can buy from a reliable owner the chances are lessened, but one cannot be too careful. When one buys n cow that is perfect in every wuy, that is the time to "look out." She may be a "sueker," or per- haps she in "breechy," that is, jump fences like a deer. Or maybe she will kick you off the seool when she has to be milked. Really, the only right way to build up a herd is to raise your own stock from a pure-bred bull. Then you know somewhere near what you are doing. But to go out and buy a good cow, now-a-days is a "game of ehanee," even to the experienced. A scheme that I have when I want to buy a cow is as follows: I go into the barn of the owner of a cow that is for sale. I look her over carefully and let him tell his story. I feel, though, that he is selling the cow that hethinks is the poorest in his herd. I look over the other cows and ask about them. Generally I can find one or two that look pretty good to me. The chances are that they are the one: that he does not want to sell. Then I feel that if he wants to keep them they must be all right and I try to get him to set a price. I try to buy one of them. Even at a better price, they are generally worth more. Ireason that the seller wantl money. He picks out the poorest cow to sell. " cheap " he can. If I offer a good price for a good cow and he needs the money, I may get a good cow rath- er than take chance: on the cheap one. I have succeeded many times in get- ting nice animals by trading this way. I Joule] rather pay' more And be sure than take chances and perphas lose.
