Speaking of the cost of the operaâ€" tion, it is shown that at Charlotteâ€" town, P.E.I., four men dehorned sixâ€" teen steers in two and a half hours at a cost per steer of 18% cents; at Kentville, N.S., five men oporated on 24 steers in three hours, the cost beâ€" ing 19 cents per steer; at Lethbridge, | _ Relative to the dehorning of cattle much valuable information and many facts in support of the practice are given in Pamphlet 21 of the Dominion Dopartment of Agriculture dealing | with the Winter Feeding of Beef Catâ€" tle in Ontario. The facts supplied by < Mesairs. G. W, Muir and S. J. Chagnon of the Division of Animal Husbandry, the authors, are derived from actual | experiment and experience on the \Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, \and are confirmed by evidence from the Branch Farms in different parts \of the country. Dehorning is shown { to be not only profitable but also huâ€" mane. The methods employed at the Central Farm are fully described. Esâ€" is«enfia&?’y. they are: the prevention of horn development in the calf; the use of a fineâ€"toothed dehorning or meat saw; and the use of dehorning shears. In the case of beefâ€"bred calves destinâ€" ed to be finished for the block, or of calves of the dairy breeds where horns are considered a menace, the calves are treated before they are ten days, old It is explained that the treatâ€" ment must be very thorough and a‘ caustic agent used up to full strength‘ or malformed horns will develop. The pamph‘et, which the Publications Branch of the Department at Ottawa, will supply free on application, illusâ€" trates the way the animal is held while the operation is performed. The dchorning shou‘d not be done in very cold weather cr in fly time, the most Komoho have a "Club paper" edited of the sprouts and matted rocts. If on doesn‘t feel like goirg to the exâ€" pense of buying a regu‘cr cabinet for sprouting the oats, a fex shalow boxes will do almost as well. Make several holes in the bot:om of the bores for ventilation, and cover with burlap or wire cloth to prevent the octs falling through. Soak the oats in a pail of water overnizht, and in the morning spread them about two inches thick in the boxes and cover with a double thickness of newspapeor. Each morning remove the newspaper and stir the cats with your hands; spread out evenly, and sprinkle with water. When the sprouts begin to show, don‘t disturb the oats, but still sprinkle every morning. Replace the paper after sprinkling, until the sprouts are over the edges of the box; this keeps them from being dried and toughened by the dry outer air of: the rcom. In about nine days the oats will be a thick mass of fine roots: and ready to use.

Ever since farm lands have been fenced, and full control exercised over them, some kind of "water gates" have been devised and used.

Loss of we‘ght to a small exâ€" tent is fairly general following th-e" operation, but in two or three weaks ‘ the anima‘s usually esmmence to gain, indeed, at Charlottatown, a fortnight {:’fter treatment, twenty sleers had each gained an average of 47 pounis. At Nappan, N.S., at the end of three weeks, 24 steors showed an average gain of 41 pounds. At Indian Head, Saskatchevian, a lot of horned and tied steers gave a gain of T770 pounds, deâ€" horned and tied steers a gain cof 895 pounds, and dehorred and loose steers a gain of 910 pounis. At Seott, Sas katchewan, thirtyâ€"five steers dshornâ€" od after purchase averaged a gain of 31 poun<s for the first month. In the same time seventeon hormless steors made an average gain of 59.9 pounds. | Profit in the Practice. _ Turning to the financial phase of the question, the Experimental Staâ€" tion reports that discriminating buyâ€" ers demand a spread of from 25 to 75 cents per hundrod poun<‘s between horned and dehorned finished cattle. At Lacombe, Alberta, dehorned stockâ€" _ers and feeders command a premium of 25 to 50 cents per hunired pounds _over the horned. _ At Indian Head, Sask., dehorned cattle find a more ready sale over horned at a premium of from 25 to 50 cents per hundred pounds, except when cattle are scarce and then thore is little difference in} price. At Summerland, B.C., in the fall of 1921, ten cents per hundred: was paid more for dehorned feeder steers than for horned. At Rosthern,! Sask., seven years‘ experience has proved that a dehorned steer is worth a premium of 30 to 50 pounds over a horned strer when entering the feedâ€" ing bot. These results indicate that in the West when the supply is limiged| a premium is paid for dehorned stock-l ers and feeders. In the purchase of| feeder and stocker cattle for exper'!â€"! mental feeding on the Dominion Exâ€"! perimental Farms an effort has alâ€"] ways been made to secure dahorned animals, in that they may be stabled more economically and cared for more Aberta, three men trcatel sixty steers in ha‘f a day, the cost per stecr being only 6 cents.

In the case of climbing roses, which may be very difficult to protect with soil, it has been found that if a long bottomless box is put over the canes after they have been laid down and then this filled with dry leaves and the top put on so rain will not get in, the canes will, as a rule, come through we‘l, but very carly in the spring the lid shovld be lifted in order that air may get in and dry off the canes so as to prevent the developâ€" ment of diseass.â€"W.

Masoun, Doâ€" minion Horticulturist. ied mR 1 M In other parts of Canada wheny there is more snow or in the milder parts of Canada where protection is necessary the bending of the canes down and holding them down with a0@ may be sufficient, though it will be safer to protect the base and roots with a mound of soil in case there may be severe weather or little anow, At Ottawa this plan is folowed, the mound being made ten to twelve inches high. Leaves or brush are then put over the exposed part of the canes. â€" In winters with little snow and when low temporatures come early in the season the canes will be killed to the mound of soil, but, as a rule, the part of the cane in the soil remain®s alive, and in the spring the bushes are pruned back to the uninjured part, and strong growth and abundance of fine blooms will be obtained.
