Earrings for Cattle.

The Belgian Director General of Agglctriture has issued a regulation that all animals of the bovine species are to wear earrings as soon as they have attained the age of three months. Breeders are obliged to keep an exact account of the animals raised by them, and the ring, on which is engraved a number,, is fastened in the animal’s ear to prevent the substitution of one animal for another.
