Remedy for Glover Bloat.

Glover bloat can always be prevent
ed by keeping the cattle off the clover
while it is wet with rain or dew. The
usual cause of death when an animal
is bloated is congestion of the lungs
from pressure of the stomach against
them. The flesh of such animal
would be darker in color from the
stoppage of the blood. in the small
vessels than the flesh of an animal
butchered, but I do not believe it
would poison anyone to eat the flesh
of such animals. The best remedy
for clover bloat is to make an opening
in the upper part of the left flank
with a pocket knife and thrust the
fingers into the opening, then the gas
will escape at the sides of the finger;
or use some hollow tube to put into
the opening.-Prairie Farmer.

TRUTH ABOUT BATS.
They Interfere Somewhat with Q
Horses Digestion, But Never
Cause Serious Illness.

There are many charges laid against
bots, says the Horseman, but it is
doubtful if they ever really merited
any of them. The bot is developed in
the stomach of the horse from the
egg of the gadfy, which is laid by the
mature female somewhere on the skin
where the horse can lick itself handily.
The right side of the equine stomach
is lined with velvety appearing sub
stance that secretes the gastric juice,
and to the tougher lining of the left
side the bots attach themselves after
Matching out. They adhere t. this
tough lining by two small hooks, but
they are not provided with mouths,
and hence cannot eat. They are nour-
ished by the absorption of digested
food through their skin. That shows
why there is no truth in the story that
the stomach of the horse is sometimes
eaten through by bots. They cannot
thus destroy the stomach, FOR they
cannot, and do not, eat. The bots adj
here to the lining described through
one season till the following spring,
Wn6u III INC COuISC VI luclI grow
the hooks let go and the bots are car
ried on down through the intestinal
track until they are yoided. Their
subsequent growth to the matured
gadfy need not be detailed. Then the
female lays her eggs again and the
round goes on as before. No med
icine that can be given the horse will
kill the bots. Anything that can get
through their skins will first destroy
the stomach of the horse. So nothing
can be done to get rid of bots, and no
fear need be entertained that they are
going to do any great damage to the
horse. Nature does not plan to de-
stroy in such tremendous degree as
would ensue if the bots could eat the
lining of the horses stomach. They
may interfere somewhat with diges.
ton, if present in enormous numbers.
but in that way only, and the writer
can say with all truth that he never
knew any serious case of equine ILL.,
ness due solely to bots.

Live stock and Fertility.

A fat steer of 1000 pounds weight
has in it 500 pounds of water, about
25 pounds OF nitrogen, IS pounds of
phosphoric acid, and two pounds of
potash. To buy this nitrogen to re-
turn to the soil would cost about
$3.50, and the phosphoric acid would
cost about one dollar. In selling such
an animal raised on the farm and
farm products, about $3.50 worth of
fertilizing material is taken. If bran,
linseed meal and other grain is bought
to feed it, more than this would prob
ably be added to the farm, and it
would be growing richer, while if the
hay and gam it consumed had been
sold off the isrm, it would have been
robbed of much more.-Farmers'

WORKING AMONG BEES.
essAry Tools 1t II Not N Danger.
Gus ~ Many suppose.

Every farmer who keeps bees should
provide himself with bee veil that
fits over the hat and is secured under
the suspenders inside the coat or vest.
The hands and wrists may be protect
ed by wearing mitts without fingers,
says Fannie NJ. Wood, in the N. Z.
Homestead. When one does not
wear boots the pants may be
tucked inside the stocking leg; a
nervous man would not care about the
bees creeping inside the pants. A
good bee smoker is indispensable. Dry
rotten wood, that will crush easily in
the hands, makes plenty of smoke
without much heat and never goes out.
Rubber cloths are useful. They are
made of coarse linen or burlap, take up
water easily, and are large enough to
lap two or three in over and over the
sides and ends of the top edges of the
hive. Wet and wiring them out before
using; they will lie down smooth and
close. When take the cover off hive
or super, one of these wet cloths is
laid on quickly. If any Of the bees are
next to it they will quickly get from
under. 1t. retains the warmth of the
bees, can be turned back as much as
needed to take out frame or more
without disturbing the rest Of the
bees. In changing supers it keeps all
the bees in their places, out of the way
of the operator. If smoked when wet
and laid on the top of the hive the
scentof the smoke will cause the bees
to fill up on honey and they will be
submissive. The farm beekeeper should
have one or more feeders. They are
inexpensive and come handy when
necessary to feed the bees.

WHEN THE HOGS DIE.
Cholera and Other Diseases Usually
Are Caused by Dry and Con-
centrated Foods.

The time of the greatest fatality
among hogs is when >they are COM
PEELED to subsist for any considerable
time on the dry and most concentrated
foods, says the Indiana Farmer. In all
experience that is the condition of the
greatest ailment in human life. When
the hogs are turned into the autumn
stubble fields and left to CLEAN on the
dry, concentrated food there obtained,
if ever hog cholera or any other diseas
occurs, that is the time, at least that i.
so generally speaking. 1t is not SO
much because the seeds of the disease
are more prevalent then, but because
the hog is forced into condition which
makes him most susceptible to the
seeds of disease more or less prevalent
No animal, not even man, was ever in.
tended to subsist alone on dry, concen.
trated foods, and the human animal
knows too much to risk his health on
such conditions. What the hog needs
along with these concentrated foods is
an occasional succulent ration. With
the abundant opportunity provided for
him, clover and rape and beets, arti.
chokes, and even silage, ETC., there is no
reason why he should be abandoned to
the conditions which invite disease and
death. There is not month of ths
year when an occasional succulent IA.
ton could not be provided for the hog.
This, with pure watef, would enable
him to resist and throw off the germs
of disease always prevalent, and suffi.
GENTLY frequent to kill when subjected
to conditions inviting death.
New Problem for Farmers.
Farm tenantry is doubtless increas.
ing in the United States, and this fact
is one with which we must constantly
reckon. AS result of tenantry, social
conditions become yearly worse in
many of our farming communities.
The tenant does not feel that he is
fixture, and takes little interest in the
community. The owners of the land
in too many cases prefer for tenant
a man without children, as there are
in that case none to increase the dis
trict school tax. This is another new
problem that must be faced.-Farm-
ers' Review.

spirit in coming out and working but
unless the team is better supported
