(Prepared by the Unltod Stales Depart

Many a cow has come to nn un

Soon her troubles begin. Fermenta

pacity. How Fermentation Causes Death,
The dnngcr to the animal from acute

stomach may rupture, for such nn nc

however, exerts a dangerous pressure
upon the heart and lungs, with tho re

fore lenvlng the first stomach of the
anlmnl that has fed upon them. Fat
ing excessive amounts of middlings or
com mcnl will also cause bloating. It
also occurs In cattle as a result of be
coming choked, Tho principal cause-,
however, is overentlng succulent green
fornge such as clover, green corn or
cabbage. '
Change Feed Gradually.
To prevent blontlng In cattle, the
animals should bo shifted, by easy
stages, from dry or scanty feed to
abundant and luxuriantly growing fod
der. They may bo allowed to feed
from the good forage for only three
quarters of an hour on the first dny
they are given access to -such grazing.
A full hour may bo allowed on the
second dny, and by continued slow
steps nnd gradually lengthened stay
In the tempting feed, the danger of

overcome.

reach lie should he summoned nt once.
If no surgeon Is available, tho owner
should Immediately attempt to bring
relief to his animal.
Trocar and Method of Use.
Many cnttle owners keep a trocar
and catlula constantly on hand mid
thoroughly understand Its use. Tlie
trocar Is a sharp-pointed rod provided
with a metallic sheath or canula which
leaves the point of the trocar ex
posed, Tlie spot to he selected for
inserting tho trocnr Is a point equally
distant from the Inst rib, the hip hone,
and tho lateral bony projections from
the spine In the region of the loins.
Here n small cut about three-fourths
of an inch long should he made
through the skin with a small knife,
und then the trocar with canula at
tached, limy be pushed through the
cut Into the puuncb. The trocar is
I
then removed, allowing the gas to es
cajio through the cnnuln. The cnnuln
should bo rctnlned in place so long
ns nny gns escapes through It. Some
times severnl hours nre necessary, and
the cnnuln should be firmly, tied In
place. An attendant should remain
near the nnlmnl, if possible, so. long
us tho cnnuln Is In tlie paunch. x
Medicines That Relieve Dioatfng.
If tho nnlmnl Is not distressed by
the bloating, and the swelling of the
body is not grent, or when tho nlnnn
Ing conditions have been removed by
the use of the trocar, it Is best to re
sort to Internal medicine to nllny tlie
formation of gns. Two ounces of aro
matic spirits of ammonia in two quarts
of cold wnter should be given every
half hour, or half an ounce of chloride
of lime dissolved In n pint of tepid wn
ter mny be given every half hour un
til the pressure of the bloating hns
been removed. A dose of purgntlve
medicine Is usunlly beneficial after the
bloating has disappeared. For this
purpose one pound of (Bniiher's salts
will usunlly prove effective.
Care should he used In the admin
istration of fluid medicine. Tnke time.
Do not hold tho cow's head too high.
Keeping the nnlmnl's head raised, so

tho level of her face will nllow her to
swallow without Interference.
GIVE ATTENTION TO
THRASHING MACHINE
Skill and Judgrnent of Operator
Are of Big Importance.
Follow Suggestions Given In instruc
tion Book Furnished by Manufac
turer Unskilled Feeder Will
Cause Trouble. -
Any standard mnke of thrashing ma
chine Is capable of doing satisfactory
work If kept In good repair and op
erated Intelligently, according to spe
cialists of the United States depart
ment of agriculture. Clean grain nnd
small losses depend more than any
thing else upon the skill and Judg
ment of the operator. Here are u
few rules the wheat thrasher should
observe carefully:
Study the Instruction book sent out
by the manufacturer and follow tho
suggestions closely.
See that tlie separator Is set level
crosswise nnd lengthwise.
Tlie Bpeed of the cylinder teeth Is
npproxlmately 0.000 feet a minute.
This mny he modified slightly up or
down In different machines and with
different grains. In general the rule Is
correct.
Greater part of the separation Is
done In tho cylinder nnd Immediately
nfter the grnin passes through It.
Use as few concave teeth ns neces
sary to thrash all the grain from the
head. Two rows of teeth set high aro
better than four rows set low, . .
Orates give the best separation when
set ns high as possible.
The makeup or the tailings deter
mines the character of the work done
by the sieves.
An unskilled hand feeder or a rock
less pitcher with a self-feeder will
cause any mnchlne to do poor work.
The bundles should he fed heads first
and straight. It Is Important timt tho
feed bo steady and In continuous
stream. Do not crowd one moment
nnd let run empty the next. Damp
tough straw cannot ho fed as fast in1
dry straw.
On n mechanical feedor see that tho
governor Is set and working properly.
MUCH CATTLE FEED WASTED
Grain Straw, Corn Stover and Cotton
seed Meal Not Olng Used to
Best Advantage.
Something like one-third of tho
total production of grnln strnw In tbn
United States Is not being used to ad
vantage, and of this nmonnt onn-hnf
Is nn absolute loss. Of the 2-JfS.000.WM)
tons of corn stover produced aiiniially
In the United States It Is osthnnted
that only 81.5 per. cent Is fed to stock,
nnd thnt at least V per cent of this
amount Is lost through wasteful meth
ods of feeding. Similarly, during tho
past years lnrgo qunntltles of cotton
seed meal have been used for direct
fertilizing purposes, which could bo
used to better ndvantnge for feeding
cnttle, since not over 25 per cent of
its fertilizing vnlue Is lost when ft li
no used.
Live Stock,
NOTE'S
The grade and scrub stnlllons should
be. avoided like a pestilence.
Tho demand today Is for horses
that weigh from 1.-100 to 2,000 pounds.
'
There should be n good brood mnre
or more of ilraft type on every farm.

More colts should he raised to re
