Tfoyen in Cattle.

The hoove or hoven is distension Of
the stomach produced by gas ex.ricated
from substances undergoing fermentation
within it. Itresults from eating too much
and too grecdily, of green food. Tie
symptoms are swelling or bloating Of the
whole belly and more particularly at the
fanks.
In severe cases something must be done
to liberate the gas, or the the animal is
lost This is complaint Of frequent re-
currence, and the popular remedy OF
puncturing the distended organ through
the left side, with some sharp instrument;
ike many other remedies, often kills where
the disease would not.
The.Tod Groacer is responsible for the
followingcure, which endorsed by SO good
an authority is at least entitled to trial:
Hoven in Csttlc; is speedily relieved by
putting in the animals mouth thick hay

and fastened at he top of the head. This

Every bggadn man, must have fclt the
want of some mode Of marking domestic
animals, which could be substituted for
the barbarous appliances OF crops, bits,
underbits, Sits, swallowforks, ct caetera:
Tie following item from the Agricpltor,
supplies that desideratum SO far as sheep
marking is concerned, and might, for
aught we see, be applied to other animals.
Speaking of some fine sheep lately i'm
ported from France, that paper says:
"Many of the sheep were marked with
figures in India ink, on the under side of
tie ear, by which number they ere regis
tered. The process is simple one, eaSl-
ly and rapidly performed The operator
has q set Of numbers, three Of each, the
face OF which are small points which make
slight punctures in the skin, when press
cd upon it. Suppose the sheep to be mark
