Parents Of new babies are hereby
cautioned To be careful about Mt
taching names to them in moment
OF popular excitement, which might
hereafter prove embarrassing. 1t
is all right to name the boys in
hoaor of war leroes; but it isn't
fair to the girls to pin date line
en- them for all future time. For
example some fair Mlss III the year
OF our Lord 1895 may smile and
emlrk and say she is only twenty
four years old, and feel satisfied
until some disagreeable old dame
will remark: "Why Deweyann
Spriggs, wasn't you named after
Dewey that won the sea victory in
1882 Then will Deweyann curse
her parents and weep.

A writer giving his experience
with cattle bloat suggests that
where a trocar and capuIa are not
kept on the ranch substitute can
be effected as follows, and is better
thnn running about the neighbor
hood looking for trocar: Take
the small blade Of a penknifa, strike
itthrough the hide into the paunch
on the left side, about midway be
tween the hip bone and the short
rib, and insert goose quill open
at both ends and hold the quill
there until the gas escapes; 1t wall
be more pleasant # they will turn
their heads the other way. Watch
the goose quill carefully to see that
1T does not clog with blood or
minute portions of the contents Of
the paunch the point is to let out
the gas which is the cause Of death.
The animal should be placed with
the right side next the barn Or
board fence and held there firmly
until this operation il performed /,
it takes but minute.
