How to Treat Bloatin9.

Bl0ating is a very common
trouble among cattle in the spring
and summer. Ii is caused by the
animals eating large quantities Of
green food, which ferments, and
often proves fatal if not promptly
attended to. Alfalfa is especially
conducive to hloating when GOV.
cred with dew.
The symptoms Of bloating are
familiar to the experienced farmer.
One or more of the cattle act rest
less, and move from one place to
another, as ii in pain. The
breathing is labored and rapid,
and in a short time the charac-
teristic distention of the abdomen
is noted. In acute cases. death
may ensue ia from ten to thirty
minutes from suffocation or apo
plexy~
Prompt treatment is usually
necessary, and often the animal
dies before a veterinarian can be
summoned. To be prepared for
such emergencies should be the
aim of every stock owner. Treat
ment consists of stopping the fer
mentation and forming of gas.
All sorts of medical agents are
used Common baking Soda
tablespoonful to a pint of water,
or three or four tablespoonful
turpentine in a pint OF water,
given as a drench, is good. Me-
chanical appliances, such as the
old fashioned straw bride or pro-
bang are still used.
A trocar should be kept on
hand, and the animal punctured
ON the left side hands breadth
in front If the point of the hip,
about four inches back of the last
rib, and the same distance below
the back bone. If knife is used,
make a small incision and hold
the aperture open until the gas
escapes. Do not wait until the
animal is almost dead before tro-
caring, but experience will only
teach the proper time, if at all
needed. Horses are trocared on
the right side at about the same
location. Greater precautions must
be used on horses than on cattle
or peritonitis will result.

Meridian Orchard Sold.

Fourteen Thousand dollars for
20 acres Of improved orchard land
situated south Of Meridian was
the price paid to I'll. f. McEIrcy
by John r. Wood, an expert
orchardist of New York, who
purchased the tract last Saturday
and who will in the future make
his home in the Boise valley. The
orchard tract purchased is one Of
the finest in the valley and com
prIses the choicest varieties of
Jonathan and Rome Beauty
apples, the trees being 10 years Of
age and all heavy bearers. The
tract is part of a 40 acre orchard,
owned jointly by General Frank
Martin and FL. E. McElroy, who
divided their interests last fall,
each taking half the tract, and as
Mr. McElroy owned another 20
acre orchard on the Boise Valley
line. he decided to sell the lower
orchard and feels that the price
received was a very normal one,
considering the improvement of
the tract.
Mr.. Wood did not make mis-
investment in the Boise valley
without first having made a
thorough investigation of all TIE
fruit belts in the northwest. He
spent several months visiting the
different fruit sections and
making Investigations, after which
he compared notes on conditions
and concluded that the Boise
valley had greater advantages than
any of the other sections. He
then began looking over orchard
tracts here with the result that he
accepted the McElroy orchard,
from which soma of the choicest
apples furnished on the eastern
market were shipped.
Mr.. McElroy predicts that the
Boise valley will have an extra
big crop this season on account
of the favorable weather, there
having been no frosts which
would injure even the most deli
cate fruit. He states that he has
never before seen the trees so
loaded with blossoms and is pos
tive that the valley will produce
a record breaking crop this season.

. By her ability to produce within
a year nearly her own weight in
butter. an Ohio COW has won the
crown of Queen of the Dairy
World. No other COW in the
world has produced as much
butter fat in one year as she did.
The name of this regal cow is
Banostine Belle De Kol, and she
is fve-year-old Holstein- Frlesian
in the herd of Dan Dimmick &
Bro, East Claridon, Geauga
county.
During the year she produced
27,404.4 pounds of milk testing
1856 per cent fat. This means
over 9 gallons of milk per day, OF
enough to supply SO families with
a quart of milk daily, the usual
milk ration of city family.
If made into butter her fat pro,
duction would equal 1322.925
pounds of butter or over 81
pounds per day for 800 days
This is all the more remarkable
because it was made without heI
being dry at all before freshering
No other COW in the world has
ever produced such an enormous
amount of butter fat in yearly
test and only one other has ever
exceeded Banostine's milk record.

Ex-President Roosevelt believes in
the people, yes the common people.
He wants to see this government put
on higher plane and American in
stitutions preferred and preserved.
The people believe in Roosevelt and
have confidence in him and his ability
as a patriot and a statesman. He is
fearless, outspoken and will never be-
tray a trust nor try to coerce his party.
Roosevelt is wanted by his party as a
candidate for president. He will poll
more votes than any man in the party
and the only one who can be elected
|if noaiinated. II the people want
Roosevelt to run it's his duty to do SO
and not cater to the threatbare poll
tician who claims a very indefinite
promise to not run for third term If
Taft had proved true to the people
there would have been no occasion
for Roosevelt now.
AS to any pretended promises made
by Roosevelt, if made say was sure
ly made to the people and not intend
ed for any single individual or poll
tician. If the people don't want him
he viii be repudiated at the polls. The
decision of the people should be suf-
ficient panacea for the wounded heart
of the standpat elemtnt and stop the
| silly twaddle of broken promises and
unkept VOWS. The Taft element are
badly scared as they imagine their
hero and idol is to be laid on the shelf.
TAFT has been vasciIating and unsteady
in his administration and his efforts
pointing in the wrong direction. He
has been tried and found wanting.
Now let the people rule. They know
just what they want and how they
want it. They are fully competent to
judge who is right and who is wrong.
The people are tired out with this
miserable wall of broken promises
Leave it to them. Lets have a rest
and abide their decision.
Most resp. submitted
