Hoven or Bloat in Cattle.

1t is quite possible in sections OF
our territory that have been favored
with abundant rainfall and heavy
crop Of clover that there will be cases
of bloating, especially among young
cows that are kept in dry yards dur
ing the night, MIXED late in the
morning, and then turned out when
hungry onto fields of clover or alfalfa
when there has been a light rain or
heavy dew. Under these circum-
stances gas is sometimes formed
which distends and initiates the
stomach or paunch to a point where
the animal can scarcely breathe.
There is. pressure upon the heart
and upon the lungs. Circulation is
impeded, great weakness follows
and unless the animal is relieved
there is danger of sulfocation.
The trouble is thct the farmer
wien in his corn field does not
notice anything wrong with his cat
tie until it is too late for anything
else,than the use of atrocarand canula.
The Urocar is simply small stiletto
or sharp pointed instrument, in fact,
an awl, while the canula is sheath
which covers it, and which is forced
into the paunch with it and left in
the incision through the skin and
paunch for a time after the with.
drawal Of the trocar, so that by keep.
ing the wound open the gas may be
allowed to escape.
The place to apply it is in the
middle of the depression between
the last rib, the backbone, and the
point of the hind quarter on the left
side. The trocar and canula should
be in the hands Of every farmer who
has any considerable amount o.
stock. But if an animal is seen te
be in distress and none is available
take a common goose quill, cut of
the point and the feathered portion
and take out the pith. Then take s
sharp pointed pen-knife, make al
ineision, put the goose quill in, ane
hold it till the gas escapes. 1t vii
be more pleasant if you hold you
nose in the other direction.
Sheep are also liable to bloat, al
though in our own experience witt
sheep we have never had any troubl
with it except one day, in which
fifteen of them were affected ant
three or four Of them died. The bes
way to handle sheep is to make

A nridre of crocodiIe..

A traveller writes of port in north
western India: "rhe great sight of
Earachi is the sacred crocodile pre-
serve Mt Magyar Pr, some seven miles
off. There are hot springs here which
feed a shallow tank containing nearly
n hundred crocodiles. The story, usu-
ally thought to be fictitious, Of the Eng
lishmah who for bet crossed the tank
by jumping successfully from the
backs of these crocodiles is based on
fact. The hero of this foolhardy feat
was a certain Lieutenant Beresford, a
friend of Sir II. L. Burton. When Bur
ton and his companion We're visiting
the crocodiles' tank they noticed that
these reptiles and certain islets Of reeds
happened to make an almost continu-
Gus bridge across the tank. This
prompted the daring subaltern to haz-
ard the feat Of crossing by hopping
from one crocodile to another. To the
amazement Of the spectators he sue
ceeded in this apparently mad attempt
Sir Richard Burton had already sue
cessfully performed an equally daring
feat. He managed to muzzle n croco
dile by means of lasso and the.
jumped on the reptiles back and en-
joyed somewhat zigzag ride"

In Venice one is as if caught in an
Immense network, or spiders web,
which, as one walks in its midst, seems
to tighten the closer about one. The
streets narrow overhead, push outward
with beams and stone balconies and
many turning angles; seem to loosen
theirhold for Il moment where q bridge
crosses narrow canal between high
walls and over dark water and then
tighten again in close lanes where the
smells of the shops meet and fume
about ones face. The lanes are busy
With imen in rough clothes and with
women in slawls, bareheaded and with
great soft bushes of hair, who come
and go quietly, slipping past one anoth-
er in these narrow spaces, where there
Is hardly room to pass, as the gondolas
slip past one another in the narrow
canals. The road is difficult to find,
for a single wrong turning may lead
one to the other end of Venice This
movement, the tangles of the way, the
continual arrcsting of ones attention
by some window, doorway or balcony
put strain upon ones eyes and begin
after time to tire and stupefy the
brain. There is no more bewildering
city, and rs night comes on the be-
wilderment grows almost disquieting.

People usually Imagine that their
bones are of solid mineral construc-
ton, without any feeling in them. AS
matter of fact, there are blood ves-
sells and nerves inside the bones just
as there are outside. During amputa-
ton of a limb much more pain is felt
when the bone is attacked than when
the flesh is being cut through. Through
the marrow which IS inside the bones
run the nerves and blood vessels, en-
tering the bones from the flesh without
by little holes. Nature adapts the bony
structure of various animals to their
habits in q very interesting manner
Sluggish creatures, like the sloth, have
solid bones, whereas the bones of the
deer and the antelope are comparative
ly light, SO that they may run fast, and
the hg bones of the ostrich are hollow
You will find in the bones of any Iskel
eton the application of mechanical
principles which have only become
known to man through the processes

Holding the Dreatl,.

1t is physical lmpossibility for u
man to kill himself by holding his
breath. Individuals differ greatly in
the length of time they can hold their
breath, and what practice and deter
mined effort, combined with natural
great lung capacity, can do In this d.
rection is shown by the long periods
for which champion divers can remain
under water. If man succeeded In
continuing to hold his breath in spite
Of the physical discomfort in which he
had placed himself the result would
simply be to induce a state of coma.
When this state was reached nature
would reassert herself, and the breath
ing functions would again resume full
activity, preventing II fatal issue in
spite Of their owners desire.

Results of Cream Grading.

The farmers in our territory are,
generally speaking, taking very
kindly to the new cream grading
system They see in this system
one that is certain to greatly benefit
the dairy industry as a whole and
the individual progressive farmer in
particular. The editor of a Sidney,
New South Wales paper, writing
about the grading system in use-> in
New South Wales has the following
to say in his editorial columns:
Grading and instruction have
been altogether responsible for the
improved quality Of New Zealand
dairy produce. Without these the
industry would still be in the back
ward position it held previous to
governmental control being. intro
duced. Grading affects every one
from the maker to the cowboy.
Though tho system is not complete
without dairy inspection, which is
still lacking, excellent results have
followed its introduction. Dairy in
spection alone would be Of little
value unless the milk was properly
treated at the creameries and factor
les afterwards, but grading of pro-
duce and instruction to factory man
ayers have worked wonders in pro,
ducing. a uniformly good article.
Grading has done a great deal to
wards forcing the New Zealand
dairymen to supply pure milk. The
factory managers and buttermakers
have insisted on the raw materia
being of good quality. This has
been necessary to enable them tc
make a first grade product. Thus
producers have had to take more
than ordinary care to ensure the ac
ception of their milk at the factories
instruction has perfected the grad
ing system as far as the manufactur
ing of produce is concerned. Instruc
ton on the farms is now required t,
perfect the system Of production ant
manufacture as a whole.-Farmers

twenty years have been ranging on
clover fields we have had but two
cases of bloating, and these were
due to turning cattle into heavy
field of mammoth clover, to which
they had not been accustomed. Our
rule has been to accustom cattle to
clover early in the spring, keep them
continuously in the field night and
day, and return the milk cows to
the fields as soon as they were milk.
ed after being brought in from the
clover pasture in the morning.
There are some things, however,
about b!oating that are not easy to
understand. Our loss in the case
of the sheep above mentioned occurr-
ed but once, and in this case the
sheep had been accustomed to the
pasture all season. Why fifteen Of
them were affected that particular
day and no other days out of several
years we are at a loss to understand

In q memorial address last.
Wednesday, Gov. Hanly Of Indiana
said: ''The American people are at
the beginning of a great revolution
As yet there is, in a literal sense,
no call to arms. There are no
drum beats, no bugle blasts, no
serried ranks, no marching columns,
no battlefields strewn, with the
wounded and the dead, but the
revolution is upon us and about us
as certainly as though all these
were present. Stupendous social,
economic and political changes are
involved. Deeply imbedded in the
very core and center of this revo-
luton, running like thread Of
gold through all its shifting scenes
and changing forms, are certain
fundamental principles Of human
liberty, aud unless we in your day,
possess a willingness to seek for
these and the wisdom to find them.
and the patriotism and the courage
to proclaim them, to stand by them,
and save them when found, the call
to arms, the drum beats, the bngle
! blasts, the serried ranks, the
the marching columns and the
7, baltlefields will come to us and to
you as certainly as in the past they
came to our fathers. The criminal
aggression OF incorporated and ag-
grcgated wealth against the indi-
vidual must be stayed by legal
regulations and wholesome laws
courageously enforced or history
will repeat itself in your day as it
has in the past You will no more
be exempt than other generations
have been Progress must and
will be made. ! do not look with
pleasure either upon the muck ol
