“Keystone Dishorning Clipper,” which makes a very quick, clean cut, (cutting fiom 
four sides) the wound heals very quickly with but little suppuration. I find quite a 
percentage of my cases of “Garget” caused from being hooked behind. 
I find no one that has had his herd dishorned, that would willingly allow a cow 
with horns on in his yard again. With good help I can readily take off 75 cows per 
tour. They thrive better, put on more flesh, and give a larger flow of milk, simply 
because they are more quiet. 
Yours very respectfully, 
F. T., D.V.S. 
McKillip Veterinary College. — We have received 
from the dean of the above-named institution the following, 
with request to insert: 
The following chairs in the faculty of the McKillip Veterinary College at Chicago 
have not been filled, and remain open to competition, namely : Physiology, Materia 
Medica, Surgery, Hygiene, and Meat and Milk Inspection. 
Gentlemen who have had experience in teaching these branches, or who consider 
themselves able to do so, are invited to send their application, which must be accom¬ 
panied by a curriculum vitae, written by the applicant, together with the compensation 
asked. Only such persons Avho are eligible to membership in the United States. 
Veterinary Medical Association need apply. 
Applications must be sent to 
Olof Schwarzkopf, 
Dean of the Faculty, 
No. 1639 Wabash Ave., 
Chicago, Ill. 
This means a good step in the organization of the new 
school, and our friend Dean Schwarzkopf knows how to secure 
his assistants in the faculty board. Let us hope, however, that 
he will not be obliged to ignore the recommendations of the 
paper on “Veterinary Education, and that, on the contrary, he 
will take advantage of the brilliant opportunity offered him. 
Already experienced teachers will do ; but belief on one s self¬ 
ability to teach ought not to be sufficient. The vacant chairs 
of the McKillip Veterinary College remain open to competition, 
says the notice, and we feel highly gratified by this action, 
which will record the new school as being the fii'st among 
medical or veterinary institutions where professorship will mean 
a great deal more than that of other colleges—more than an 
appointment through friendship, ambitious desire or, perhaps, 
“pecuniary bargain.”
