Recommendations. 



The Commission would therefore recommend as follows : 



1st. — That the practice of dehorning be permitted where performed with 

 reasonable skill, with proper appliances, and with due regard to the avoidance of 

 unnecessary suffering, and that the Ontario Government should bring to the 

 attention of the Dominion Government the desirability of amending the law 

 relating to cruelty to animals, so as to give effect to this recommendation, 



2nd. — That the Ontario Government should direct the management of the 

 Ontaiio Experimental Farm to experiment with chemicals on the horns of young 

 calves and also cutting out the embryo horn, with a view to ascertaining whether 

 these methods are more desirable than sawing off the horns when they have 

 attained their full growth.
