PREVENTION OF THE HoovE.-When neat
cattle and sheep eat too much red clover,
their stomachs soon become so much inflated
with gas that, without immediate relief,
they often die ina few hours. We have
known neat cattle to be hoven and die, in
defiance Of all efforts to save them, oven alter
they had been grazing in a clover field more
than two weeks. Where they can have ac-
cess to other grass, they will seldom eat
enough clover to make them bloat, but, as
soon as they are required to snbsist entirely
on red clover, unless they have FREQ access to
an abundance ofsalt, thero is great danger
that they will eat too much. We have al.
ways been accustomed to keep salt in tub
in the field where livestock were grazing on
red clover. and the animals would eat freely
Of it many times a day, and we never had an
animal affected with the hoove Us long US the
