The careless use of caustic pencil* to prevent the growth of horns was deprecated by members of the committee of the South Canterbury Society for the Prevention of Cpielty to Animals at a meeting in Timaru this week. Several cases had been noted by the society’s inspector (Mr F. T. Blackledge), it was stated, in which animals had been burned on the face. If the pencils were used correctly, there was no need for that to happen, said Mr G. L. Murray.
