Some Simple Means OF Alternating the
Dangerous Ailment-
When detected in the beginning, give
every half honr half an ounce of aqua
ammonia in quart of cold water.
When bloating has lasted over twelve
hours. a different kind of gas is gen.
Grated. and different remedies must be
used. such as two drachms of chlori-
mated lime dissolved in pint of cold
water and repeated every hour. After
q severe attack of bloating, always give
a laxative dose of medicine. such as a
pound and 4 half of Epson salts dis
solved N a quart of hot water. and to
which solution add pint of moiasses
and an ounce of ground ginger
In urgent cases when medicine can
not soon be had. plunge a trocar into
the left flank inward. downward and
forward, in the direction of the right
elbow. inserting it midway between the
last rib and the hipbone, and about
eight inches from the bones of the
loin. When away out in the field and
no trocar is obtainabble. long bladed
penknife may be used, putting it in to
the handle and holding it in this po-
sition so long as gas escapes But the
knife is not a safe instrument as par
ticles of food are apt to pass into the
abdominal cavity, where it may cause
fatal infiammation--Prairi Farmer.

To Prevent Grub I'm sheen.

The means of prevention of the grub

flock of sheep during the visitation of
the hr which deposits the eggs in the
nostrils that hatch into the grub which,
when It crawls to the upper recesses of
the inner parts of the nasal cavity
causes 50 much grief to the afflicted
The fly makes its appearance in the
months OF July and August. and if the
sheep have a dark place in which to re
treat during the day, when the fly is
most active. they will escape; the noses
of sheep are sometimes tarred to repel
the attacks of the fly. To dislodge the
grub, syringe into the nostrils mixture
of equal parts of turpentine and lnseed
oil, injecting about a tablespoonful Of
the mixture at one time.-Colman's

1t IS matter for surprise to many
that cement floors do not more rapidly

very great stumbling block. first cost.
including the labor required. Every
space 6x12 feet requires barrel OF
Portland cement, costing q or more,
or two barrels of common cement at
$3.50 to 8. besides the digging and
hauling of sand and stone or their pur.
chase. Then comes in the expense OF
excavating. mixing and accurate laying.
The study has been long and hard how
to make stable foor that is at once

But the foor. Having laid the stills

hot tar and filled and rammed level to

a quantity of sand or ashes with the
tar to the condition of mortar anG
