Show Take th Harm In Time. Hornleai cattle are the deilderatum In moat localities There may be poaalble poa-alble eiceptlona In localltlea where tho anlmala actually need their home ta protect their young and tbemaelvea agaln.t wolve and Ilka anlmala. bid happily mnr ot our ttate are now free from peati of that character. Tho lwrn I a relic of agea when the cow did not have man for a protector. Man he no ue for It. Everr few week we bear a horrible torr of ome person bolng gored to death. What farmer haa not en oven mltd-tempcred cow attack other cowa furloualy with their horn, ometlmea Inflicting damage that li not onillr remedied? The horn la a uie-'c uie-'c and a dangcroua weapon for her1 maiten to leave n poiaesalon of the cow. Moit of our farmera reallte thla. but comlder It too much trouble for them to have their cattle dehorned. In eomo caaca there la a icntlmcnt about nfllctlng pain on the anlmala. though It la probable that the pain of dehorning dehorn-ing la not greater than tho pain to the human being In bavin a tooth drawn. However thla mar bo. we need onlr borne and tho pain to the animal of dehorning. Cauatlo potaah, If applied it the proper lime, doe tho work to perfection with little or no pain. Tho" little knob of horn atarte at flnt from a acml-aott material which may bo called tho matrix, or mother of tho take Iho horni In time to nvold both the horn. Apply potneh to thla nnd It bo-comci bo-comci Impotent. Tho proceai li nr-reetcd nr-reetcd forever and tbo calf growe up hornlee. Such anlmala aro eaalcr handled, han-dled, and even It they attack one, can do Infinitely leea damago than can anlmala anl-mala on which the horna have been left to grow. Tako tbe horna In time and avo trouble. Tho New !tamphlr experiment iln-tlon iln-tlon give tho following method of applying ap-plying tho ikjIbiIi: "Tbo hair ahould bo cut owar from tbe young horn oa thor-ougblr thor-ougblr ai poelblo ao that tbe potaah may conio In Intimate contact with tho parte to bo treated. Tho ollr accretion ahould bo removed from tho parte to bo touched with the potaah, br wiping carcfullr with n rag or aponge mola-tened mola-tened with eoap audi, or water containing contain-ing a little ammonia.

At the recent meeting uf the Kentucky Ken-tucky Swlno Ilrcedera' naaoclatlon, held at tillzabcthtown, Mr. J. U Male read a paper on "What la the Cheapen and Ileal Hog rood."

With plenty of good paaturago we need to have very little fear ot the feeding too much of that obeapest of nil gralna corn. With I good paaturago ou can eafely feed freely of grain. In fact, It never paya to feed sparingly. Hogs ahould nlway bo fc liberally. The atlngy feeder nnd the hog aro not very good friends, I lately lsllcd two different breedcre.'i ono ot them had hla hoga on good graii and plenty of grain, and there I I eaw a splendid lot of youngsters, and tho brredlug stock.
