William Warfield, cattle breeder, Lexington, Kentucky : " I have never seen 

 the operation performed, therefore can give no facts in' regard to it or its effects 

 of my own knowledge. After forty-nine years' of experience on a farm with all 

 kinds of stock, I have never had an animal injured by goring, and can see no 

 necessity for dehorning." 



C. A. Goesmann, director Massachusetts Agricultural station : " I do not con- 

 sider dehorning a desirable practice. I do not see how it can increase the value 

 of cattle. I regard knobbing or tipping as quite successful in preventing goring. 

 Disbudding would be better than dehorning, or, at most, vicious animals might 

 be dehorned." •
