This is due to inexperience and will be entirely overcome if followed up with a. ut- tle care. This metod is so superior to waiting until the horns are grown and then performing the bloody and painful operation of dehornlng farmer. A herd of cattle raised from ca‘ves without horns are much bet- ter appearing than dehorned cattle which carry the ugly stubs. Dehorn All Dtlry llerds Nearly every dairy cow eventual- ly sold for beef. Many dairy heifers are rejected from the herds for one reason and another before they become cows. Many young cows go out of the herds each year to the slnughterhouses. Middle aged and older cows have often to be got rid of became they are no longer prof. itsblc. These young to mature cat- tlc iorm in this country an im- portant part, of the beef supply. Finally, there are the aged cows that have served their full time and are at last sent to market, where they find a certain value usually in the boneless fro-zen beef trade. This class of meat. as a rule. is exported or is used in ground meat products. When dairy cattle come to he moved from the ram to market they go with beef cattle or other livestock. Thus the pretence of horns on these cattle are a serious source of loss in the beef industry. It is as impel-tent in the beef trade that dairy herds should hi reared without home as it is for bid to be homleu. _ ‘ ., As“ dairy cattle are Ill and the calves raised there in no Doilibll 9301110 10!‘ in; ears: with horns. no is no allude ‘end so new - \ .?_( See That You Have an Early Crop of em. Comet retains its juicy brittle flesh up to two weeks longer. it continues to grow larger. and has developed to the size of a silver dollar with- out becoming coarse or bitter. It is a round root, with brilliant scarlet color; the skin is very thin and the flesh transparent. Radishes are one of the easiest vegetables to grow. and ehoud have an all-season place in the garden. To accomplish this successive cow- ings should then be made at about it) days intervals. or longer in the case of Comet) For the summer crop the long radlshes usually fare better, and contrary to the opinion of many. these summer types are as sweet and tender as any of the earliest. The long radlehes are also best for fall. success with radishee will depend them. 9 This seems to aid in preventing in- festation of intemal parasites. All farrowing pens are cleaned and disinfected with very great care. The pigs have runs in small fields of hall or one acre, and these are frequently changed to new ground. colony houses are used for shelter and green feed is cut and fed in these pig runs.
