DEHORNING BULLS AND OTHER CA'l''l'LE. IN the course of human events, with the accumulated power to observe and reason, it has been thought to be an act of wisdom and mercy to dehorn cattle, though it may be a little severe on the animals at the time. But for the safety and good of the people,to stop unnecessary torture and death of weaker cattle, horses, sheep, human beings and so on it has been thought best to take their horns off. The· result has been good, in many ways very satisfactory, and is now adopt ed and recommended. Twenty-five years ago when first I took up Osteopathy I wentout in to the open pastures of nature to view the cattle of a thousand hills. I had not _raveled very far until I saw scraping and heard bellowing, it was a warm day and I traveled to a shade tree, sat down to rest and converse with the gentleman who was with me. Soon I saw three or four~l)llrly old bulls, the champions of many victories coming toward the tree. I felt safe enough as I had been raised among cattle, until they approached close enough that I could see their eyes were green with rage, so my life's safetyEand that of my friend was to climb the tree without delay. One of them seemed to be endowed with the power of speech and entered into a conversation with me. He asked me what my profession was. I told him it had been in the practice of medicine. He asked me why I had abandoned so great a profession. I told him because it was not worthy the name of a science, and the most that I could say and speak honestly of it, was, it is simply a system of guess work, "cut and try." I spoke a few words, tried to point him to a higher and more_Godly system of © Still National Osteopathic Museum, KirksviIle, MO (it) JOURNAL OF OSTEOPATHY. JOURNAL OF OSTEOPATHY. 67
