WHY DOES COAL KEEP GOING UP? Senator Joseph S.

Resolved further. That the committee on interstate commerce' shall report its findings td the senate, together with, such recommendations as may be tinent and advisable, with a view either to congressional or executive action, in order to remedy existing conditions or the punishment of any individual or " '" ' corporation deemed gui'ty of unlawful acts.

' n ' ment When circumstances are favorable, as In the case of farmery who build up their herds by raising the progeny, the horns- - may be prevented; from growing' by, a simple and practically painless method, and the custom of preventing the growth of tjie horns is becoming more popular and more generally practiced under 'all conditions except in the case of calves dropped on the open range. The calf should be treated not later than one week after its birth, preferably when it is from three to five days old.' The agent to be used may be either eaustfc soda, or caustic potash, both of which may be procured in the drug stores in th6 form of sticks about" the thickness pf an ordinary lead pencil and 5 inches long. These caustic must be handled with care, as they dissolve the cuticle and may make the hands or fingers sore. The preparation of the ealf consists in first clipping the hair from the parts, washing clean with soap and" warm water, and thoroughly drying with a cloth or towel. The stick of caustic should be wrapped 4n a piece of paper to protect the hands and fingers, leaving one end of the stick uncovered. Moisten the uncovered end slightly and rub it on the horn buttons or little points which may be felt on the calf's head, first on one and then the other, alternately, two or three times on each, allowing the Tcaustic to dry after .each application. Be very careful to apply the caustic to the horn button only. If it is brought in contact with the surrounding skin it will cause pain. Be very careful also not to have too much moisture on the stick of caustic, as it will remove the skin ifallowed to run down over the face. - After treatment, keep the calf protected from rain as water on the head after the application of caustic will cause it must down Over the face. This ' . be carefully avoided..' Either caustic soda or caustic pot- sh alone, without the 'admlxtu- other substances, answers the purpose ' satisfactorily. Some" years ago, however, certain preparations or 'dehorn-In- g compounds," composed largely of one, or the other- - of these caustics,' were generally Hsed, and as Inquiries are still occasionally received concerning such preparations, the 'following formula Is given : Combine in an emulsion 50 per cent of caustic soda.

The caustic soda ia dissolved in the water and heated to the boiling point, then removed from the fire, and the kerosene added grad- ually, while the mixture is vigorously, stirred.. This emulsion Is applied in very much the same manner as the Btick caustic, except that It is necessary to employ a short, stiff brush. Sometimes a meat skewer is" used, the large end being mashed to form a stubby brush. Two or three appllca-"- " tlons should be made to each horn button, as in the' case of the stick caustic, with Intervals ito allow It to '' dry. In the very young calf the horn button, or point that .will ultimately develop Into a horn, has scarcely any attachment to" the skull, and may be felt as a small button embedded in the skin. In this early stage It may be easily removed with a sharp knife or a pair of curbed scissors, but even then caustics should be applied to kill any remaining cell life belonging to this germ point; otherwise there may be some subsequent Irregular horn growth, which is more or less of a disfigurement. -- fell to the floor of a barber's shop here when the veteran of the Franco-Prussiawar of 1870 discharged his vow SHIPPING SWINE IN SUMMER of 48 years -- never to have his hair e cut until .was re- Proper Care 8hou(d Be Taken1 Not to deemed from the Prussians, Mr. Choi-lLoad Too Heavily Most Common d left, the shop with a Cause of Loss..;' head and an Imperial after the style of Napoleon m.:. t , When snipping hogs hi warm weather care should be taken not to load The full tljlo of the bolshevik al- toer heavily.
