Goodwill is the jam in the sandwich of life, You find it concealed in the middle; It's the great mitigator of sorrow and strife, l And the answer to many a riddle. Goodwill is the grease on the axle of trade, The mixture in which they just revel. Goodwill is the petrol for power on the grade, And puts us ahead on the level. Goodwill is the salesman who never falls sick. The stock never left on the shelves; | It's the thing we all need, so let's f go for it quick, And earn a bit more for ourourselves. —Sales Management. DEHORNING OF CATTTLE. There is not the slightest doubt that dehorning of cattle is a source of gain to a dairy farmer. Dehorning stops the constant milling of cows in the yard and saves the bruising and cutting so frequently seen in the yards and bails. Also it saves bruising cull cows or bullocks trucked or driven to the Freezing Works. That may mean a difference of pounds sterling in each animal, and that is all to the advantage of the seller. The best time in a cow's life to dehorn is when the animal is very young. The horn - appears first as a small growing button. At this stage, up to a fortnight old, caustic soda is very useful. The hair is clipped off the button, and the caustic rubbed in firmly for a couple of minutes. The horn is killed and fails to grow. Farmers, however, have a faculty for leaving their calves too late for this process, and can then try the second method, that of gouging out the horn by means of special pair of forceps. This instrument can be used till the horns are two inches in length. In trying this method the calf's head must be kept still so that while pressing down on the forceps the calf does not suddenly jump aside and have the tip cut off only. This gouge method leaves a clean surface and is most useful. 4 f Dehorning of older cattle is not a pleasant occupation and is to some extent cruel unless a large and heavy dehorning instrument is used which can cut the horn in one sweep. The nearer to the head the horn is cut the larger the hole left in the skull. If the horn is cut right up against the skull the skin may slowly grow over, but the mere fact of cutting half the horn off a cow shakes her confidence very greatly and stops her horning in the yards after the first trial. Dressing of the cut horns in adult animals is usually done with a dab of Stockholm Tar. Do not block up the horns for long because a filling of the sinus of the skull with pus may occur and the cow will become a snuffler or may develop other trouble. Do not dehorn adult cattle while the weather is hot or flies may blow the wound. Dehorning means more pounds of butterfat in the herd once the cows settle to their season's work—but remember if you do not feel inclined to do the cows, dehorn your calves. H. MATSON AND CO.
