To Our Correspondents.

10 Our Correspondence
To put two columns of matter in one
column of space is often the difficult task
that confronts the TRANSCRIPT on Friday
mornings, and flour regular correspondents
would send in their weekly news letters on
Thursday morning instead of q day later.
much Of the difficulty would be obviated.
and we would be spared the very delicate
task Of "cutting" our co orrespondents and
they themselves would be spared the trial
of having their contributions mutiliated by
the ruthless hand Of the editor, who is so
discriminating and mercenary as to give
space to an advertiser who comes late in
stead of the correspondent whose letter
might have come earlier. We want the
news, all the news and the latest news es-
pecially, but we are convinced that our
weekly letters could, for the most part.
reach us day earlier, and if there are any
items of interest day later, send them on
in addition to the first letter. The adver-
tisements are the very life Of newspaper
and we cannot afford to neglect our adver-
tisers even for the best of correspondents.
We sympathize with the latter in their
chagrin and dismay at seeing. what to
them, was the best part of their contribu-
tions, left out, and the surgeons knife is not
used with greater reluctance than is the
editors blue pencil upon certain letters
that are among the weekly contributions
to the TRANscRI PTS budget Of news. To all
such we say come earlier, and you'll fare
better, but if you cant come early, come any
how, but don't scold if we "cut" y ou.

RELIEVING CHoKED CATTLE. ~
Choking in cattle is usually caused
by swallowing a potato, apples, piece
OF tnrnip or carrot, or piece Of corn
cob. No matter what part Of the gull
let II is lodged in, 1t causes great distress.
The animal coughs, saliva runs from
the mouth, eyes bulge out, back is
arched and bloating also takes place. If
1t is in the upper part Of the gullet, the
animal soon dies from suffocation. If
it is in the middle or lower part, the
animal may live for several days. II
it, Is in the upper part OF the gullet,
give a little oil and then rub the hand
up and down the throat to scatter the
accumulation. 1t may be necessary to
give little oil several times, and con-
tinue the rubbing, as it may take some
time to overcome the choking. In case
no oil is at hand, a similar attempt
may be made by pouring down some
water.
If the obstruction cannot be forced
up or down by oiling and rubbing the
guilet, use probang. which is made
Of spiral wire covered with leather,
and which will bend with the neck
There is also gag to put in the mouth,
with a hole in the center through
which the probang passed. Oil the
probang and let one man take hold Of
the animals horns or ears, while an
other passes the probang through
hole in the gag and back into the gull
let. Press gently until the object is
felt, then by steady pressure it will
pass into the stomach. Too much
force should not be used in case of rup-
turing the gullet. No unyielding ar
ticle should be pressed down the gull
let, as it is almost sure to rupture it.
If a probang is not convenient, take
piece Of rope about 4 to / inch in
diameter, frizz out a little of the end,
and tie piece of string around it to
form soft knot, greese this we'll and
it will supply the place of a probang.
In case where an animal cannot be
relieved by this treatment, cut down
on the gullet with knife, making an
incision and removing the material.
Clean the wound and bring the edges
of the gullet together firmly with silk
thread or eatgut, letting the ends hang
out Of the external wound, bring the
edges of the skin together, put band
age around and keep it wet with cold
water for twenty-four hours, and 1t
will usually heal. Give the animal
soft food for some days. or If a pro-
bang was used and the gullet not cut,
give soft food two or three days.

would have better opportunities to sue

fair pay hasn't much left after her
board and clothing are paid for. And
many farmers girl who leaves her
secure haven forthe tempestuous ocean
of city life finds that the benefits for
which she sought are as far Of rs ever,
and that she did not realize when she
was we'll of. The country girl need
not be so far tehind her city cousins In

information from books and magazines
and she can do the same. She. too,
