DEHORNING OF CATTLE.
Wellington, August 9. A deputation from Canterbury to-day asked the Minister of Agriculture for legislation making compulsory the dehorning of cattle. It was stated that dehorning had the support of wholesale butchers, wool brokers, freezing companies and other bodies. The deputation also stated that hides would be worth from 3/- to 4/- more on an average. The Minister was asked to treat the matter as one of urgency. The Hon. 0. J. Hawken was sympathetic. The farmer should dehorn his own cattle, he said. It was to his benefit. He would look into the question with a view to legislation this session,, if possible. He mentioned that probably the best way would be to prohibit any two-year-old cattle from being trucked after a certain date.
