THE VETERINARY

There is little difficulty in making
a diagnosis Of thumps in pigs, says
American Cultivator. Often while the
pig is trying to stand still the nervous
jerks are SO noticeable as to move the
whole body. This is often accompa-
MED by a jerking, barking sound from
the lungs. We have almost concluded
the first stages treatment is Of little
avail. Exercise and muscular move
ment are essential. This 1t Is very
hard to have the young pigs take.
Successive doses of salts or castor oil
are useful until the movement Of the
bowels is free and regular. In acute
cases give fifteen to twenty drops Of
tincture Of laudanum every two hours
until relieved. In this, as In other
swine diseases, prevention Is the best
measure.
ChOked sheep.
When sheep are kept in an orchard
to pick up the fallen fruit, some are
apt to get piece fast in the throat
and become suffocated unless relieved,
says American Sheep Breeder. When
this happens, the sheep go about with
the head down, and saliva runs from
the mouth. Relief may be given by
working the obstacle down by the fin
gers. II this cannot be done, the gull
let may be cut open downward, not
across, and the piece taken out The
cut is closed by two stitches or by
plaster. the wool being shaved of.
sore Neck On Horse.
Sometimes horses are troubled with
pimples that form on the neck, and
when the collar is put on they become
sores, says American Agriculturist
Mix one ounce each of acetate Of lead
and sulphate Of zinc with one quart
Of water. Apply little to the sore
twice a day. When they heal. mix
one dram Of biniodide of mercury with
one and one-half ounces of lard. Rub
on a little once a week for one month.

It will require but moment to refresh

Defects I. MIX.

The common defects in both butter
and cheese are largely due to the dirt
which gets into the milk at milking
time either from dust In the air or by
careleemess Of the mixer In the stable.
Sour Sttainer cloths and sour tinware
also contribute germs which may de-
velop bad flavor In both butter and
cheese. Every cheesemaker 's.nows how
absolutely necessary 1t is to have clean
and perfectly sweet milk for making
cheese which he can guarantee will
bring the top market price. The Same
thing Ii also true with the buttermaker.
The quality Of the product Is almost
entirely within the makers control

The United States department Of as
riculture has just issued a bulletin
(No. 20, bureau of soils) giving an ac-
count Of Its experimental work in the
growing Of Cuban seed leaf tobacco In
the Miami valley. This work, conduct
ed by the bureau Of soils, was begun In
1902 and has extended over three sea-
sons. The results achieved are pro-
nounced very satisfactory. Already a
considerable number Of growers are
producing the Cuban seed leaf, and In
dications point to a largely increased
production Of this type for cigar filler
purposes. The production of other
types Of tobacco. especially the Zim-
mer Spanish and Ohio seed leaf, is also
discussed In the bulletin.
