DISHORNING CATTLE.
Discussing the several methods proposed by different writers of dishorning cattle, one writer lays tha to all those desirous of getting immediate relief from dangerous aid useless horns, the plan of ■awing off th« horns close to the jkull ■uggeots itself as a npoedy, though somewhat heroio method of dishorning cattle now on hand, while the method of preparing to escape all such evila m future by crossing with polled breedn is undoubtedly a wise and good one. Breeding the horns off by using polled bulls Is both safe and sure. It is also the most effective, as well as pal' lees, for when got off th»t way they will stay off. Some will object to getting them off that way, fearing they wnu'd deteriorate the qualify of their oittle, but tbny need be under no apprehension on that Bcore, If they are breeding for beef they can certainly improve the beef making qualities of any c'ass of cattle by using too polled or Aberdeen- A.agus, as they will prpduce more beef — and better beef —at the proportionate cost per pound, than any cattle that wear horns, while if they co In for milkers, tha can certainly get fixed by using the Ked Polls.
