NEEDLE
In A Cows Heart Causes The
Animals Death

w. H. Coe, West Gambler street,
who owns farm just west of town,
noticed one of his milk cows was not
doing well.
DR.. G. C. Crider was called and, af-
ter making an examination, the case
was pronounced hopeless. The dag
nosis was leakage of heart caused By
foreign object. Later the COW died.
DR.. Crider held post-mortem exam
ination and found large sized sew
ing needle in the left ventricle of the
heart. which had caused a dropsical
serum of approximately ten gallons
in the pleural cavity.
DR.. Crider has found several pa.
tients recently with punctures of the
heart caused from foreign objects
taken into the digestive organs with
food.
1t is necessary for the farmer to be
careful with small pieces of wire,
nails, tacks, etc., getting into the feed,
which causes this trouble, as the loss
from this one cause is quite large,
and there is no cure for animals so
afflicted.

1t is obvious that to insure the ef-

mechanical knowledge must be re-
quired. Modern shells are so construct
ed that they can be exploded at any
desired height or distance. A shell
that bursts too soon is practically val
ueless. while one that bursts too late
loses much of its efficacy. An error Of
few feet in the calculation Of the
aeroplane's height or in the targets dis
tance would seriously impair the eff
