For Alfalfa Bloat.

If a case of alfalfa bloat is discov-
cred In time an ounce Of hyposulphite
of soda, dissolved in water, and given
as a drench will prove effective. This
can be repeated every half hour for
two or three doses Two ounces Of aqua
ammonia, well diluted with water or
common soda, in half ounce doses can
be given. Many cases of bloat can be
relieved by causing the animal to
stand with the hind feet in ditch and
the fore feet on the bank, as this po-
sition causes belching. From two to
ten minutes time is required. Some
people claim to have observed that ex-
perienced bloaters learn to get them.
selves into such position for blow
ing off the burden. Blankets wrune
out of cold water and wrapped around
the abdomen or cold water dashed on
with a bucket often gives relief.

VALUE OF SEPTIC TANKS.
Many 'Odors and Germs May Be Dis
pensed With by Their Use.


Ex-President Roosevelt's farmers
commission, appointed for the purpose
of investigating and reporting upon the
conditions of the great farming indus
try of our country, found that one Of
the greatest disadvantages the farming
community has to contend with, owing
to the absence of proper sewerage, was
the unsanitary conditions surrounding
the homes.
Now this same condition prevails not
only upon the farm but also in small
towns and suburbs of cities where there
are no sewers or water works, and
where the people have to depend upon
wells for their water supply.
Usually these homes have a we'll at
the rear of the house, near the kitchen
door. A few feet further will probab-
ly be an old style toilet, standing over
an unwalled vault dug a few feet into
the ground. The greasy waters and
slops from the kitchen are either con-
veyed by pipe from the sink to hoe
in the ground, or empited into the back
yard to purify and from which the
swarms of flies, attracted by the OBJ
noxious oders from this decaying mass
on the ground and in the toilet, carry
disease and death into the house, as
bees carry pollen from flower to flower.
In the winter seasons we do not have
the germ carrying flies to pollute our
food, but we have an agent equally as
pad in the rains, which saturate the
earth and carry the seepage from these
polluted places down through the
ground, uniting with and constantly
communicating the we'll water with ty-
phoid and other germs.
All of these dangers can be overcome
at a comparatively small expense by
the installation of a properly designed
and constructed septic tank, with a
glazed verified sewerage system con-
Meeting the house and toilet with the
same. The tank being practically
buried in the ground and dramatically
sealed, with the inlet and outlet pipes
beneath the water, there can be no
oders escape from it. Even the water
from the outlet, or overflow, of the
tank is clear, odorless and germless,
all of which are owing to the fact that
the specific gravity of all vegetable
and animal matter entering the tank
with its germs, odors, etc., cause it tc
float to the surface of the water, which
is always maintained at considerable
distance above the overflow. Here il
floats undisturbed while in it certain
microbes develop which devour and de-
stroy it. A system of this kind can be
put in without investing in high priced
plumbing goods or the services of q
plumber, as it is constructed principal
ly of concrete and sewer piping. ANY
handy man should be able to install it.
If a septic tank system was properly
installed at such places as described ir
this article, those homes would be as
sanitary as home in the city.

Owing to the very limited digestive
capacity Of swine for the consumption
of bulky feed, corn cobmeal is not very
satisfactory. for purposes Of swine
feeding. This class Of farm animals
can use much more concentrated feed
than any other class and are much
more inconvenienced by the presence
Of an excessive amount Of crude fiber
In rations. owing to their small stom-
ach capacity. We should much prefer
cornmeal to corncob on that account.
Brood sows or other hogs with plenty
of framework could use little corn
cob meal to better advantage, but we
see no particular reason In supplying
it because such material contains prac-
tically no nutriment, and, while 1t is
sometimes used to make ration more
bulky for sheep and cattle, it Is pos
itive hindrance to swine.

Feeding Discarded Lambs.

Feeding Discarded Lambs.
There are various ways suggested to
make eve mother her own lamb or
twin from another eve that has not
enough milk for both.
Some advise whipping the eve into
subsection, but this is very cruel and
seldom satisfactory. When eve loses
her own lamb and it is desired to make
her own another 1t has been recon-
mended to skin her own dead lamb and
tie the pelt over the lamb that is to
be adopted.
This plan is sometimes satisfactory
II the ewes sense Of smell Is not very
keen, although 1t more often fails.
Other breeders have tried tying dog
near by, claiming that the maternal in
stinct Of the eve will exert itself and
it will own the lamb while trying to
shield 1t from the dog.
Perhaps the most satisfactory meth
cd when q eve refuses to own her
lamb is to fasten her in between hur-
dies.
This gives her a chance to eat and at
the same time prevents her from turn
Ing around to butt the lamb. In such
a position, however, the eve will often
lie down. This may be prevented by
passing light pole through the hur-
dies, resting 1t on the lower bars be-
meath her belly.
The eve can be confined this way
throughout the day, and If the lamb
is at all lively he will manage to get
enough to eat The eve should always
be released at night.
A day or two Of such confinement is
often sufficient to bring an obstinate
eve to reason. Such hurdles can cas-
lily be made by any farmer, and 1t Is
well to have them on hand for Just
such emergencies.

Prose Poetry.

A North Missouri farmer whose hog
was killed by train wrote to the COM
pany's claim agent for settlement.
He penned his communication thus !:
Dear Sir-My razorback strolled
down your track week ago to-day.
Your twenty-nine came down the line
and snuffed his life away. You can't
blame me, the hog, you see, slipped
through a cattle gate, so kindly pen a
check for ten, the debt to iquidate." I"
He receive dthe following reply: "Old
twenty-nine came down the line and
killed your hog we know, but razor
backs on railroad tracks quite often
meet with woe. Therefore, my friend,
we can not send the check for which
you pine. Just plant the dead, place
Ger its head, Here lies a foolish
swine .'"-Waif.
