THE VALUE OF
GREEN MANURES

1t is well established fact
that the soils of the arid regions
are as a rule deficient in organic
matter. This deficiency may be
overcome to a certain extent by
any of the three common methods
of adding organic matter to the
soil, which are as follows: (a)
BY green manures and crop resi-
dues; (b) By accumulations in
pasturing; (c) By applications
of farm manures.
OF the methods mentioned, the
first is the most important and
least practiced. 1t consists mainly
in the growing of a crop which
is plowed under while it is green
and succulent as it decomposes
most readily at that stage. Dr.
Cyril G. Hopkins, of the Illinois
Station, in comparing green ma
nures with farm manures, makes
the following significant state
ment: t" AS an average, animals
digest and thus destroy two-thirds
of TIE dry matter in the food
, they eat so that one ton of clover
hay plowed under will add as
much humus to the soil as the ma
nure from three tons of clover
hauled off and fed, even if
all the manure is returned to the
land without loss by fermentation
Leguminous crops, such as al
falfa, clover, peas and vetches,
are usually recommended for
green manures. They have the
special power of obtaining their
nitrogen from the air through
the agency of bacteria inhabit-
ing the tubercules on the roots.
\ny of the above crops can be
grown in the soils of the arid re-
gions.
The characteristic advantages
If green manures to the soil are
rs follows:
/. Increases its fertility by
ihc large amount of organic
matter which it acquires.
! 2. Increases it's waterholding
capacity.
3. Utilizes soluble plant food
that would otherwise escape
from the soil.
4. Brings plant food from the
lower soil to the surface soil.

BLOATING IN CATTLE

AT this time of the year, when
cattle have been on dry feed all
winter, and are first turned on a
good pasture of alfalfa, they are
frequently affected by bloating.
This is especially true if dew is
on the grass or if it is frost
ed.
Large numbers of town cows
bloat on lawn grass and white
clover. The cattle most commonly
affected are the greedy feeders
and those which are low in con-
dition and receive a large amount
of grass when not accustomed to
it.
The most common symptoms
noticed are, first, the greatly
distended abdomen, especially on
the left side, then the labored
breathing, with the mouth open,
head down, and the appearance
of being about ready to drop from
suffocation. In most cases not ac-
companied by impaction the pa
tient passes liquid faces.
The animal shows depression
by the dropping of the ears, semi
closed eyes and very little incli-
nation to move.
Along the lines of treatment
which may be mentioned are, the
putting of a bit into the mouth
and causing the animal to move
about and thus cause belching of
gas. Another home remedy con
sists of spraying the abdomen
with cold water, the effect being
the contraction of the abdom-
inal muscles, and these in turn
cause contraction of the rumen
and the passage of the fermented
food on into the intcstines and
the belching of the gas.
Failing to remove the gas by
any of the above methods, the
only resort is by tapping with
trocar and canula. Some use
over the country that the effort
pcnknife, but if it is resorted
to there is always danger of feed
getting into the abdominal cav
ity.
After removing the gas some
anti-fcrment purgativc should be
administered.

WIRE CUTS

Farm animals are frequently
cut with wire. When the injury
is severe it will pay to employ a
veterinarian to dress the wound.
Where the services of a conpe-
tent veterinarian can not be OBJ
tained, the farmer will have to
handle the case himself, and this
advice is for the farmer in this
predicament.
The first thing to get right is
the correct point of view. By
this / mean to remember that
remedies used are for the pur-
pose of assisting nature and not
to cure the disease. This thought
if kept in mind, will eliminate in
Vulnerable nostrums, suggested
~ enterprising neighbors, and in
sure an opportunity for the wound
to heal without harmful interfer-
ence. We are still much interested
in the fountain OF perpetual
YOUTH" and in the realm of med
icine the laity are cropping blind
ly in the dark, seeking the
where" instead of thought
fully inquiring the "why."
The ordinary wound will heal
if not interfered with. This in
terference may be from germs,
parasites, meddling with the
wound, on the part of the man
or the animal itself.
The first thing to do, of course
would be to stop the hemorrhage
This can be accomplished by
tight bandage of clean white
muslin, applied either over the
wound or above it. A thread
may be run under the artery by
using a needle, and tied. Do not
use flour, dirt, cobwebs or any
thing of that sort on the wound
they are unnecessary and may
produce dangerous infection.
Having checked the bleeding,
remov the clots of blood and
cut off the ragged edges of tissue
with clean shears. A pan of anti
septic solution should be provided
and one of the best antiseptics on
the farm is creolin. Add tea
spoonful of this to a pint of water
that has been boiled and use it
on the wound two or three times
a day. Place the knife, shears,
ETC., in this solution, and wash
the hands before beginning to
dress the wound. See that there
is good drainage from the wound
