FOR THE FARMER.
Relieving ChOked Cattle.

Choking in cattle is usually
caused by swallowing potato, APP
pie, piece of turnip or carrot, or a
piece of corncob. No matter in
which part of the gullet it is lodged
it causes great distress. The animal
coughs, saliva runs from the mouth,
eyes bulge out, back is arched and
bloating also takes place. If it is
in the upper part of the gullet the
animal soon dies from suffocation.
1t it is in the middle or lower part
the animal may live for several
days. If it is in the upper part Of
the outlet give little oil and then
rub the hand up and down the
throat to scatter the accumulation.
1t may be necessary to give a little
oil several times, and continue the
rubbing, as it may take some time
to overcome the choking, In case
no oil is at hand similar attempt
may be made by pouring down
some water.
If the obstruction can not be
forced up or down by oiling and
rubbing the gullet, use probang,
which is made of spiral wire cover
ed with leather and which will bend
with the neck. There is also a gag
to put in the mouth, with hole in
the center through which the pro-
bang passes. Oil the probang and
let one man take hold of the animals
horns or ears, while another passes
the probang through the hole in the
gag and back into the gullet. Press
gently until the object is felt, then
by steady pressure it will pass into
the stomach. Too much force
should not be used for fear of rup-
turing the gullet. No unyielding
article should be pressed down the
gullet, as it is almost sure to rup-
ture it. If probang is not con-
venient take piece of rope about
three-fourths to inch in diameter,
fray out little of the end and tie
a piece of string around it to form
a soft knot, grease this we'll and it

will supply the place of probang.
In cases where an animal can not
be relieved by this treatment, cut
down on the gullet with a knife,
making an incision and removing
the material. Clean the wound
and bring the edges of the gullet
together firmly and sew with silk
thread or catgut, letting the ends
hang out of the external wound,
bring the edges of the skin together,
put bandage around and keep it
wet with cold water for twenty-four
hours, and it will usually heal.
Give the animal soft food for some
days, and if probang was used
and the gullet not cut give soft
food two or three days.-DR. d. Nc
INTosH in Denuer Field and Farm.

For Autumn Eggs.

To get eggs in the Autumn of the
year, we bring wheat bran into play.
Not wheat bran of the dry, red and
flaky kind, that is almost, or en-
tirely, devoid of the white substance
known as Shorts" but good coun-
try ground wheat bran that is rich
in its makeup, finely ground, and
that covers the hands with white
ness in handling it. Take bran of
the latter sort, mix two quarts of it
to one of oats, in a large tin bucket.
Then get beef joint bone That has
some meat on it, boil it IN a gallon
of water, and when still hot pour
the beefy favored hot water into
the bucket of bran and oats, cover

storing Potatoes.

Dig potatoes as soon as the skin
will not slip, as it gives them bad
appearance. The only precautlon
necessary when digging is to take
care not to cut or bruise them.
Have a good digger. There are
several on the market. | prefer an
elevator digger, which leaves the
potatoes all on top, free from vines.
When the potatoes are taken from
the field they should be assorted by
running them through a potato
screen having holes Il inches
square, which obviates extra hand
ling. The small ones can be used
for seed. Do not allow potatoes to
lie exposed to the sun long after
they are dug, as it will the quality.
Potatoes keep best at a low temper
ature, little above freezing. Many
are spoiled by keeping them in a
temperature that is too high. l
keep mine in cellars which are
built with building ties, thus pro-
viding air spaces. The bin should
not be too large. A bin that will
hold 200 bushels is large enough.
When | store them in the cellar |
sprinkle them freely with air-slack-
ed lime, which prevents them from
rotting Ina GRADER, in Epitomist.

over and let it soak and steam for
fifteen or twenty minutes Then
feed it to the hens while still warm.
Do this once a day during the Au-
tumn months, and large per cent
of the hens will lay during the
moulting period, because they will
not moult at the same time, or be
in the same condition OF moulting;
hence, some of them will lay when
fed on such nourishing food.
Corn should also be given to the
hens once a day during the Autumn
season.
In boiling the beef joint as above
suggested add few potatoes, or an
onion or two, to give ii vegetable
flavor to the mixture The return
in eggs will more than repay the
outlay,-H. B. Geer, in American
Poultry Journal.

The Indian corn propaganda at
at the Paris Exposition and the
conventions recently held in the
West in the interest of corn pro-
ducers, have brought out the fact
that over twenty important pro-
ducts are now manufactured from
corn. One of the most important
products is distilled spirits, the de-
mand for which has increased great
ly since the invention of smukeless
powder, in the manufactures of
which the spirits are largely used.
Among the other products made
from corn are: Mixing glucose,
crystal glucose, grape sugar, an
hydrous grape sugar, special sugar,
pearl starch, powdered starch, re-
fined grits, flourine, dextrine,

As long as the supply of insect
food lasts the young turkeys will
make rapid growth, but as soon as
you notice the grass disappearing
and insects less abundant, begin
feeding small quantity of meat to
the young turkeys at night, so as to
promote and continue the growth.
You should not aim to get them
very fat. What you should desire
is to secure as large frames and
bone as possible, so as to have
somewhere to crowd on the meat
and fat later on. Hence do not al
low them to cease growing, but
push them until ready for market,
putting them up for the purpose of
being fattened above ten days before
selling-Er.
