HOyen or BlOat.

When cow Over-feeds on green fod-
der, and especially if it is wet, the mass
ferments in the rumen and produces
large quantity of gas, which bloats the
animal and distends the stomach. The
proper treatment in this case is to give
quart of water in which one ounce of
carbonate of ammonia has been mixed
to put stick, such as a piece of broom
handle across the mouth and tie it there
to the horns, to cause the COW to eject
the gas. If this is not effective, the
paunch should be opened on the left side
of the animal, in the center of a triangle
formed by the hip bone, the last rib and
for the three angles or points. If no
other instrument is at hand, a sharp
pointed penknife may be used. The
skin is pushed or drawn a little out of
place and the knife pushed through to
penetrate the paunch, taking such di-
rection as not to wound the kidneys. The
direction is slanting downwards. A
piece of quill, securely tied to a string,
is then put into the opening, and the gas
pours out and at once relieves the ami
NAL. The quill is left in the hole with
something tied to it to prevent its enter
ing, and as gas is formed it escapes. A
dose of sixteen ounces of EPSON salts
dissolved in hot water should be given
as soon as possible, and, if necessary,
copious injections of soapy water. When
gas is no longer formed, the quill may
be drawn out, and as the skin returns to
its place it covers the opening through
the muscle to the paunch, and the
wounds heal very soon. An instrument
known as a trocar and canula is used

Italian needlewomen of the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries were renown-
ed especially for their skill in what was
known as applique work. Very much
Of this was done in converts. Two
fabrics were selected, as, for example,
velvet and silk, and the same pattern,
usually conventional one, was traced
upon each, and then carefully cut out.
The two were then carefully laid one
upon the other, and the edges concealed
by use of fine cord or silk, or worked
over in buttonhole stitch. This style OF
work was very much in demand in the
decoration of churches, and some of the
old Milanese work is very beautiful, the
selection and the arranging of colors
giving the effect of deep relief upon
lighter ground.

Hens Pluektng Feathers.

notice frequent inquiries for the
cause of hens plucking their own and
their associates feathers for the pur-
pose of eating them. Have had long
and successful experience in keeping
fowls, and for many years after COM
mencement never had an instance of the
kind in my flock. Later there were a
few instances in which the disposition
was manifested to do so on the part of q
very few of the lot. Not knowing the
cause, and supposing that the foolish
freak would soon be done with, as had
once or twice before happened, 1 al
lowed some of the obnoxious birds to
live over in. my next years flock, as they
were good layers -, During the winter
following, the vicious habit of the old
fowls remained about the same in de-
gree as had been manifested by the in
fected ones the summer and autumn
previous; but in the spring and sum
mer following nearly the whole flock of
from seventy-five TO. eighty fowls be-

disposition to be picked was apparently

The entire lot were good layers, and

shelter, and every variety of food and

Timely Suggestions as to Treatment
of Persons Overcome by the Heat.

/. Garry the patient carefully, but
promptly, to the nearest shade.
2. Secure for him as much circulation
of wholesome air as may be possibly OBJ
tanned.
8. If the skin is hot, sponge with cold
water or ice.
4. If the head is very hot, and the ar
teries of the neck pulsate violently, ap-
ply ice.
5. Give two teaspoonfuls of good
brandy or whisky every ten or fifteen
minutes. The addition of two or three
drops of laudanum to each dose of the
stimulant prevents vomiting or purging,
which is liable to occur and often to
prove fatal.
6. Don't give large draughts of cold
water or any other fluid, even if the pa
tent is able to swallow them.
7. Don't allow the patient to be moved
or raised from a recumbent position I'M
til sufficiently recovered to render it
safe to do so. This seldom occurs for
hours, and often not for days, after the
attack.
8. Send at once for doctor, not for
half a dozen. Otherwise valuable time
NAV be lost. by differences in opinion as
to whether the case is one of congestion
or exhaustion.
1t is always safer for professional
prescribers, and generally safer for doc
tors. to pursue methods of treatment
calculated to relieve more or less pro-
found exhaustion of vital powers.-E1

extent, than in grazing.
While clover is good grazing crop
for hogs, and supplies excellent hay for
horses, it is also a root crop, for it has
been proved by weighing that there is
about as much substance in an acre of
clover roots as in an acre of tops. If
the root half of clover, can be harvested
or consumed with as little expense, it
will yield as much profit as the part
grown above ground. We have seen
the roots of clover harvested and consum-
ed by herd of roofing hogs, at great
saving of other feed, and therefore with
great profit in the excellent quality of
fieshy pork SO cheaply and naturally
produced. This gives great satisfaction
to the owner, who derives double profit
from his clover field by allowing the
hogs to root and live, and thrive and
keep healthy, while making the very
best quality of pork in their own natural
way.
The French are sometimes laughed at
with an assumption of superior wisdom
because they consume the flesh of the
muscular horse as food. But when the
fact that one pound of no Sc flesh
which is as pure as the food it is formed
from is select and wholesome-contains
as much nourishiag food as fee pounds
of pork of average fairness is considered,
it is seen that after all the French con-
sumers of horse flesh have very prac-
teal appreciation of the value of muscle
or flesh as food. And it is entirely prob
able that,if the horses carcass was fat,
which is not food, instead of flesh, which
is very nutritious food, the fat would be-
less appreciated, because its food value
would be small in extent.-Cor. Country
