Dehorning Cattle - Castration of Bulls, Cattle Sheds, and Warm Drinking Water #228003

Gentle reader: We sometimes have to do those things we would ot; we then proceed to make a virtue of the necessity. The writer has been beset and besieged by hundreds of letters from Maine to Mexico, asking for information on the subject of dehorning cattle. He has been heralded from one end of the Republic to the other as the Great Dehorner, etc. He has successfully treated his own cattle, of all ages and sizes, for years. He has instructed many others in the art. He talked to the people time and again and never failed to convert his hearers. He has written on the matter in a score of papers and demonstrated the thing again and again in hundreds of cases; perhaps, therefore, if his experience is placed in book form he may not be Open to the charge of pedantry in so doing. May the time come, and come speedilv when a horned brute will be as scarce as a Mulley is now. May the time soon come when dehorning will.
