BL0AT Of CATTLE OR SHEEP
Disease 10 Excessive Accumulation Of
Gas In Paunch-Reiief 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
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 hocks 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
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 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.

THE MAIL ORDER CATALOGUES

In millions of homes the fall mail
order catalogues from distant metrop-
olitan establishments will shortly be re-
ceived. They have smart little cuts
by clever craftsmen, concise descrip-
lions by trained advertising writer's.
They are q model of good form in
publicity, which every home merchant
might well emulate.
Patronizing a house hundreds or
thousands Of miles away, however, in
preference to the tried and trusted
home merchant, is q dubious PROPOSE
zion,
Nothing is more deceptive than a
catalog cut. II the object ID represent
ed by a drawing, the picture has little
value to the discriminating buyer. Ev-
en- a photograph gives little idea Of
textures and qualities.
Buying from a picture in a catalog
cul is essentially the same as when tn
boys used to swap jack knives "un-
sight and unseen" without any chance

In buying from a distant mail order

will tell you so and save you disap-
