Description and Treatment OF a Common
Disease of Cattle and Sheep.

Nessrs. Editors: This is a disease
often occurring in cattle and sheep:
1t IS characterized by a swelling OF
the first stomach (rumen), the lett
side being swollen more than the
right, and is caused by an excess OF
gas.
It NAV be caused by any kind OF
food that produces indigestion, DuC
most commonly occurs from eat1hg
too much green grass or clover that
is wet with dew or rain. Turnlps, po-
tatoes. cabbage, middlings and corn
meal also frequently give rise to ms
bIoated condition. This condition Is
not only caused by too much OF the
aforementioned foods, but may aiso
be caused by hasty eating Wnlcn
makes digestion more dltt1cult. "nen
eating is carried on too last Tue
stomach is often overloaded and tne
food cannot be thoroughly mixed
with the gastric juices of the stom-
acb. due to the inability of the mus
| cles of the stomach to perform the
| churning motion of the food so nee
essary to digestion. Hence we nave
fermentation to take place, and 1t IS
but a short while before the
NAV be greatly distended.
An animal thus effected has an
anxious expression, moves uneasliy
has difficulty in breathing. PulSe
NAV be very weak, and is evidently
distressed. If relief is not obtained
in time the distension of the stom'
ach NAV become so great as 10 pre-.
Vent the animal from breathing anc
s~nffocation ensues, and in some case:
the stomach may be ruptured ane
cause death.
The simple treatment OF throwlns
cold water upon the sides, OF g
drives is very efficient in mild cases

His Experience.

DIR. Kitchen. whom u readers
we'll know because of his interesting
articles in the Dairyman from New
HamEshire, writes in a late number
of the Jersey Bulletin concerning his
experience in trying to get good re-
suits in all sorts of cross breeding
which so many dairy farmers are
constantly fooled with.
Hundreds of herds, in this n
every State, show the "hodge-podgeN
work of breeding now to a Jersey to
oct richness, then to a Short-horn to
oct size and meat, and next to a
Holstein to get larger flow OF milk.
The result is a lot of low-doWn,
rin~g-streaked and speckled COWS that
one-half do not earn their board. On
that point DR.. Kitchen says:
"I did a considerable amount OF
cross and selection breeding, with
the view of producing an animal
suited to our local conditions; p9t
| although results were occaslonally
fair thew we're so uncertain. and so
manv blanks came to hand IN TINS
lottery style of breeding, that l
finally came to the conclusion Cna'
# would be better for me to com
mence with some n OF the estapl
1;sbed breeds. and by selection, and
other influences, create a strain or
type that would be adapted TO oae
wants of the region, as those needs
might be modified by some adjust
mant and change in our farming
methods.-Hoards Dairyman.

but should not be relied on in acute
cases. Another simple and efficient
treatment is to place a rope coated
with wagon greace in the cows
mouth as a bit which gives rise to

object, which aids the secretion OF
saliva and a tendency to swallow,
thus orening the aesophagus which
permits the exit of gas.
In urgent cases the gas u DE
allowed to escape without delay, and
this is best accomplished by the use
of the trocor, a sharp pointed mstru-
ment incased in a sheath which
leaves the sharp point of the trocer
free. In selecting the point for US
ing the trocOr, a spot equally dlStahG
from the. last rib, the hip bone ana
the ~transversal process OF the lumpor
vertebra must be chosen. Here an
incision about three-fourths OF an
inch long should be made with a
knife through the skin, and then the
sharp point of the trocor beng al
rocted downward, inward and slight
| lv forward. is thrust into the paunch.
| The sheath of the trocor should be
left in the paunch SO long as any gas
continues to issue from 1T. 1t is
sometimes necessary to keep the
sheath in the paunch for several
hours, but a careful attendant nus {

To prevent further accumulation

ATHENA, MARCH 81, 1905

Andrew Carnegie's words seem to
point to the dawn Of rosy morn for the
small college, observes the Spokesman
Review. He says that the demand for
libraries is slackening, and, with this
avenue for philanthropic endeavor clos
ing, he finds in small college a worthy
institution that may be helped by a part
Of the Carnegie millions. As there are
about 1000 places in the United States
with population Of 5000 and more, and
Mr.. Carnegie thinks he can now get
along with demand for only one libra
ry day, it is cheerful prospect that is
held up to the smaller educational in
stitutlons. There are about 400 of these
in the United States, and it viii not
take nearly as long to go around among
the colleges as it has taken to go around
among 1000 cities and towns. Further
more, the small college has this advant-
age: When donation is once made for
library, that usually ends the matter.
There is nothing more for the philan-
thropist to do. 1t remains for the
favored locality to live up to its agree
ment in supplying the money for main
tenance. With the small college. how
over, there will always be an opportun-
ity to give more. with the assurance that
each additional gift can be used to ad-
vantage in enlarging and perfecting the
educational facilities Of the institution.
Although Mr.. Carnegie has given away
millions for library buildings, it is said
that he is having hard time to dispose
Of his annual income, to say nothing Of
the immense principal. Hence there is
a good prospect that number of long
felt wants among the small colleges will
be filed at an early day.

1t has slowly but surely dawned on
the minds of thinking people that it is
the wagon road that, first and last,
coming and going, carries nearly all the
commerce and traffic OF the country.
We have spent many hundreds Of mill
ions of dollars in improving rivers, lakes
and harbors, and in subsidizing rail
roads and steamship lines, and have
wholly forgotten the fact that but for
the humble wagon road there would be
little use for cities, railroads, harbors
and steamships.
