...University of Nebraska, showed just how easy the courses are one day recently when he outlined eight ways to dehorn calves, using wall charts of cattle anatomy. Caustic paste on a calf's horn buttons will work, he said, but it can cause sores on the mother cow's udder after nursing. Various gouges and electric burners are also effective, but Hatch advocated a saw. "There may be lots of bleeding," he told students. "If there is, you can clamp the artery.

...drawled Eddy, all fancied up in a tuxedo and string tie. Backed by a 17-piece orchestra, he sang about humpback mules, lonesome hearts and them old cottonfields back home in a mellifluous baritone that poured out just as warm and creamy as milk fresh out of the barn cow.

All about the cave dwellers, and how the lady of the house domesticates a dog, a horse, a cow-and finally a cat, which proves a match for her wits...
Later-Life Influence. At Columbia, Historian Dwight Miner, 61, carries with zest and buoyancy the weighty responsibility of teaching that college's long-famed course in contemporary civilization, following the tracks of such illustrious predecessors as Rexford Guy Tugwell and Jacques Barzun. Creeping, leaping, lolling his head like a cow, he tries to span everything from the Magna Carta to World...
