Horns On or Off. 



There was a time, many years ago, 

 when a mulley or polled animal, one 

 without horns, was something of a curi- 

 osity. More recently, by almost com- 

 mon consent, the people have demanded 

 that for reasons of profit and humanity, 

 both to man and among the animals 

 themselves, there should be more mul- 

 lies and the practice of dehorning 

 sprung into popular favor. While the 

 operation in itself seems a little severe 

 it is certainly no more so than is the 

 drawing of a tooth, to which we all 

 submit willingly, because it subserves 

 our best interests. In uhe selection of 

 an instrument for dehorning, that one 

 which will remove the horn quickest, 

 cutting clean and not crushing the horn, 

 must occasion the least pain and there- 

 fore be the most humane and best. 

 These are among the claims made for 

 the Keystone Dehorning Clipper, by its 

 inventor and maker, Mr. A. C. Brosius, 

 of Cochranville, Pa., writes to the 

 gentleman, who will send you circulars, 

 testimonials, etc., which will help you 

 to reason this matter out to your entire 

 satisfaction and profit.
