An Indiana (U.S.) i cattleman de- J clares that ninety per cent oi cattle fed for beef are dehorned. "Feeders who send cattle to market With horns on are robbing themselves, as buyers So not pay as much for homen 1 cattle as> for those of the same quality that have no horns. It i<; no trouble to dehorn cattle, and if you will begin in time you can have the horns all off. I have something like three hundred cattle, and not one has horns. More cairtie can eat at the same trough, and more cattle will stand in the same shed that have no horns. Very few horns are killed on the calf's head. They are usually dehorned" about one year old. At that time they are easily and quickly taken off. Very few pure-bred cattle are dehorned. The breeders are opposto it, as prospective buyers are apt to think they would better buy an animal from a polled breed.; The Taihape <( Post" on its dignity :— ln consequence of the ungen* tlemanly conduct of Mr — -, exhibited at a social on Monday even,in, in abusing ' the editor of the "Post" when entrusted with the privilege of responding to the toas-t of "The Press," we have decided that in future this paper will not publish a report of any function or meeting, which Mr S~ — is considered good enough to attend. A correspondent of a Dunedin paper relates an amusing incident which teaches: am old maxim— do not throw banana skins on the footpath" A careless youth, out with his father, cast on the path the skin, of of a banana he wajs about to eat. An impulsive gentleman, coming up behind, and seeing this thoughtless act determined to teach the boy a lesson. Treading on the skin, and feigning to lose his balance, he threw out his arms violently to retain it, and in doing managed to give his victim a stinging blow on the ears,. Upon tihe astonished and irate father turning upon him with dire threats <jf the law, he became profuse of apology, blamed the banana skin, read the lad a homily upon the latent dangers that re- ] sided in bananas on • footpaths, quoted his last experience, which had consisted of three weeks in bed, from slipping on a banana skin, and then disappeared with a hurried "Good morning." This lesson well be taken to heart in Nelson, especially now that the time of winter and thawing footpaths is coming. There is. more 'danger of sprained or broken legs lurking in the banana skin on the path than in any other known cause of accident.' .^MBo|!!!!!§jM^^ If you &v& young, J m//f~^mf^\y°' a naturally apfcSgSfF. iT / will surely restore ■Kfflggffi J**JF color to your gray m£-Mpfijffift) hair, and will give the scalp clean and healthy, entirely free from dandruff.
