A NOSE JEWEL FOR SUCKING CALVES.
C. A. Thresher, Topeka, Kans., sends a description of an itnpro ed nose jewel for a sucking cow or calf, which cannot slip out of the nose. Usually these are so made as to slip over the septum of the nose, and if they are so loosely fitted as to be slipped on, they may be forced off by the efforts of the animal with equal ease. To prevent this, Mr Thresher suggests making one of the points loose and fitting it to the lower part by two screws, aa shown in the engraving. It cannot then be removed from the nose without first taking out the screws. The board should be of hard wood, half or three-quarters of an inch thick, and may be cut out of the proper shape with a key-hole saw. The holes for the screws, two inches long, are then bored, and the point sawed off. There is no need to fake out both the screws when fitting the board to the nose; one screw may be drawn and the point of the “ Jewel” turned partly around, to be returned when fitted, and the second screw may then be put into its place and ell made secure by turning it home.
