To RELIEVE A CHoKED COw.-When
n COW is choked with a potato or piece
Of root in the throat. and it cannot be
or caught by two fingers of the
hand inserted in the throat, the best
means of relief is either to crush the
obstacle by placing a block Of wood on
one side of the throat agains. it, and
a sharp blow on the other side
with a wooden mallet.' This will smash
the potato, apple. or root, and the COW !
can then swallow il. A safer method is
to open the gullet over the obstacle on
