FOREIGN BODIES AND CATTLE
More Care Should Be Taken to See
That Animals Do Not Eat Nails
and Pieces of Wire.

(By /. L. NEWSOM. Colorado Agricul-
tural College)
The average person does not seem
to realize how many good cattle die
from foreign bodies such as nails and
pieces of wire that pass from the
second stomach forward in the
heart sac. More cattle, particularly
those which are kept up around the
cities, pick up foreign bodies in their
food and these are nearly always de-
posted in the second stomach. This
stomach lies just back of the dia-
phraSm, whereas the heart lies just In
front and on the opposite side of this
partition. Consequently, il one of these
sharp bodies starts forward. owing to
the movements of the stomach, 1t Is
very apt to pierce the heart sac. This
carries infection and the heart sac
fills with pus; finally after some weeks
or even months the animal shows
symptoms of disease and dies, even
without the owner knowing the real
cause of the difficulty.
Prevention is not easy, but more
care should be taken to see that the
cattle do not eat out of the managers
or in feed lots where there are many
nails and pieces Of wire. 1t Is not at
all uncommon to find twenty-five or
thirty nails in the stomach of a cow.

Scratching Hens.

The scratching hen is the laying
hen. In the Spring they dig early and
late-and they lay. ln the winter they
sit around moping. They become
bilious and lazy because they get no
exercise and once bilious they seldom
recover until Spring. And they are an
easy prey to cholera and other diseases.
