Disease is Excessive Accumulation of
Gas in Paunck-ReIef Afforded
by Trochar and CanuIa.

(By DIR. F. B. HADLEY. College Of Ag-
rculture. University of wisconsin,
From now until the close Of the
pasturing season. cattle and sheep will
be subject to bloat and hoven. This
disease is an excessive accumulation
Of gas in the paunch, and is usually
brought about by permitting animals
to pasture on clover or alfalfa which
is wet from either dew or rain Large
quantities of these feeds are greedily
eaten, especially in the spring follow
ing winter feeding on dry foods, or
in the late summer when the herds
and flocks are turned into the second
crop after the usual pastures are dried
up or closely cropped
The chief symptom Is a distension
Of the paunch noted in the left flank
Relief, which must be immediate II
effective, Is best afforded by the
trochar and canula. This instrument
should be in the hands of every stock.

instrument is on the left side in the

and behind by the hip bone. Leave
the canula in position 10 or Is min
utes, reinsertng In a freshly made
opening If necessary. Medicinal treat.
ment is of minor Importance as a rule.
Prevention is easily carried out
either by limiting the time at pasture
to a few minutes each day until the
stock becomes accustomed to the
change Of feeds, or by feeding large
quantities of dry hay in the morning
before they are turned onto the green
pasture. In either case care should
be taken that no moisture is present.

| AN ODD ENDOWMENT
PhiIanthropist Gives Kansas
College a Cemetery
In Time This Unique Gift Is Ex-
pected to Net More Than Ono
Million Dollars to Bene-
ficiaries.

Topeka, Kan.-Nearly all colleges
have large endowments Of money, Sc
curities and real estate given by
friends and by people interested in
the cause of education. The funds are
all invested in bonds, stocks and real
estate. which do exceptionally well If
they return more than five or six per
cent. on the investment. Many re-
ligious organizations have similar en-
dowments. But Washburn college of
Topeka and the Topeka Young Mems
and Young Women's Christian as
sociations have one of the most novel
endowments in the country. II is a
cemetery and as far as known this is
the only college in the United States
which numbers among its chief as
sets a share in the profits of GENE
terry. Many churches have cemeteries,
but the Topeka Y. w. c. A. and Y. NJ.
Z. A. are believed to be the only nom
sectarian religious organizations with
an endowment of this kind.
A. B. Whiting, Topeka merchant,
decided to leave a permanent endow-
ment to the two Topeka institutions.
He selected $4,000 as the beginning
Of his endowment and then began
casting about for some plan of invest
'ment which would actually net the
greatest income to the three institu-
tons to which he desired to contrib
uate. He investigated all kinds of
business ventures, bond and stock
returns and real estate investments
and finally decided upon a cemetery
as the best possible investment for
the college and Christian associations.
His investment of the modest endow-
ment is expected to return to the col
lege and the two young peoples asso-
Citations considerably more than a mil

revenue from the sale of lots in the

The care OF the dairy sire Is one
that has received considerable atten-
ton, but in spite of this fact, the half

Improper care.
In many herds will be found bulls
that are kept CO. tinually in box
stall. where they receive but little ex-
ercise, see other members of the herd
but seldom, and too often receive
feed and water very irregularly. Such
conditions are not conductive to
health and good service. Animals un-
der such conditions often become over
fat. slow in service. and frequently
cross.
Tn, herd bull must be cared for In
a manner that will keep him in good
health, and make him sure and
quick breeder. The question that
should be considered, after knowing
what is desired, is, how can these
conditions be brought about with least
expense and labor?
There are a great number of differ
ent methods of caring for bulls that
give very good results. such as keep
ing the bull tied in stall along with
the remainder of the herd, giving him

in lot alone, with other bulls, or by
swapping a rope from his ring to a
ring on wire a few feet above him.
Another good method is to have a
box stall built so that the bull can
see the other animals of the herd and
in addition to such quarters, it is we'll
that he have opportunity for more ex-
ercise than is possible in a box stall.
All of these methods require little
more work than Is always necessary
An excellent method Is one now
used in connection with the Purdue
experiment station herd. This method
allows all the bulls to run together in
bull pen connected with a shed
that is tight on three sides and open
on the south. 1t should be dry and
have stalls, in order that the bulls
may be shut up when the COWS are
taken into the pen to be bred. The
above illustration shows a view Of
the pen and shed where the bulls of
the Purdue Dairy Herd stay the year
around. A water tank in. the pen sup
plies the water and the bulls receive
their feed through small doors in the
north side of the shed.
Under these conditions the bulls are
kept in good breeding condition and
are quick and sure in service.

The college and the Christian asso-

use the money for any purpose they
decide. No one except the actual work
ers in the cemetery receive a salary
and no dividends except 10 the col
