When a cow stops chewing the cud
she is suffering from indigestion, prob
ably from overfeeding with coarse
food. Give pint of raw linsced oil,
which is better than the salt mackerel

of this is in the salt and the oil oft, and
the linseed oil will be more effective and
safe. Repeat the oil every second day
until rumination returns, and give daily
two quarts of bran and one of linseed oil

hay night and morning and keep her shut

A Smart BIRD.

A 6sh-hawk pulled large salmon out
of Elk River one day last week. The
fish was too large for the bird to carry
off, so leaving it on the sand the bird
flew off to a pile of driftwood, and,
picking up stick with a sharp and
Jagged edge, returned with it to wher'
the fish lay and sawed it in two, when ii
flew away with half of the salmon. The
other half was served for our dinner

NOV away. Hay caps can be used with
clover, as it must remain out longer to
cure than either redtop or timothy, and
the first crop is usually cut at a time
when there is small risk of showers, and
if the hay gets thoroughly wet once it
will require considerable work to dry out
properly, which, of course, adds to the
cost. 1t is always best to store clover
under shelter, when it can be done, as it

The Lebanon express. (Lebanon, Linn County, Or.) 1887-1898, 1891-07-10

A United States navy officer has invented
a life saving device for the dreaded emer-
gency of ''man overheard which promises
to be Of value. A raft buoy Of sufficient size
to support man is attached to the vessel by
long and strong but light wire rope. The
buoy Is stocked with small supply Of pro-
visions, and is furnished with potassium
compound which upon contact with the water
ignites and burns brilliantly for twenty min
utes If the drowning man, aided by the
fame, succeeds in reaching the raft he can be
drawn to the vessel without the necessity of
lowering boats. Should the rope break and
his own vessel lose track of him, ho has, with
the provisions, a chance of sustaining life
until picked up by others-Frank Leslie's.
