.BL0AT Of CATTLE OR SHEEP
Disease is Excessive Accumulation Of
Gas In Paunch-Relief Afforded
by Trochar and Canula.

,(By DIR. F. B. HADLEY. College OF Ag-
riculture. University OF wisconsin,
From now until the close OF the
pasturing season, cattle and sheep will
be subject to bloat and hoyen. 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 focks are turned into the second
crop after the usual pastures are dried
up or closely crop8ed.
The chief symptom Is distension
of the paunch noted in the left flank.
Relief. which must be immediate II
effective, is best afforded by tho
trochar and canula. This instrument
should be in the hands Of every stock
man. The proper place to insert the
instrument is on the left side In the
center Of the triangular area bounded
in front by the last rib, above by
the lower edge OF the loin muscles
and behind by the hip bone. Leave
the canula In position 10 or is min
.utes, reinserting in freshly made
opening If necessary. Medicinal treGs-
ment is Of minor importance as rule.
Prevention is easily carried out
either by limiting the time at pasture
to 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.

PROTECT STOCK FROM FLIES
Excellent ! Mixture to Keep Trouble
some Insects From Milk Cows
and Other Farm Animals.

To protect milk cows and young
stock and horses from the common
house fly and the more troublesome
wood fly the following mixture may
be used without injury to the skin
Of the animal to which it is applied.
It is an excellent and economical
remedy. 1t is as follows: One gallon
Of fish oil, four ounces of turpentine.
one point of coal oil, one ounce Of
the oil of cedar and one ounce Of car
bolic acid. Mix thoroughly. Stir the
contents before using. Spray a small
quantity OF this or apply with paint
brush to each animal once a week. A
small quantity will answer.
The following formula Is recon-
mended by Professor Wheeler. Of the
Kansas Agricultural college: Resin.
one and half pounds; laundry soap.
two cakes; fish oil, half pint. and
water to make three gallons. Dissolve
the resin in solution Of soap and water
by boiling together. Add fish oil and
the balance of water. Apply with
brush.
MatteSOnS formula -. cieA o1'
three quarts; crude petroleum, one
quart, and carbolic acid. one ounce.
Mix well. One-half pint will cover
twelve cows; put on with spray
pump. These formulas are all good.
Their use will present the. cows from
being annoyed by the flies when at
pasture or in the stable. Cows so
treated will keep in better flesh and
they will give more milk.
