In other cases it is in a condition
to die in q few minutes, and
treatment must be administered

Clover Bloat.

DR.. D. F. Luekey, State Veter-
marian, has issued statement
from the office Of the Missouri
Board OF Agriculture In which he
says the resent losses OF cattle
from bloating, while on clover
pasture, have been quite exten.
sive. The weather has been fav.
orable for rank growth of oil
kinds OF clover. The white var.
iety seems to be responsible for
the most of the trouble.
The danger is particularly
great on damp, cool days when
the clovers are fresh and palat-
able. Cattle are very aps to over.
eat. The rumen (or paunch) be.
comes over. .loaded and the fer.
menting mass causes Q rapid
generation CT gas.
The symptoms usually come on
in a very short time. A cow may
be in q dangerous condition with.

| lily OF the white or ether clovers.
Frequently, the bloating Is so IN
tense as to produce death before
any treatment can be given. ~he
rumen becomes so distended with
gas as TO press forward On the
lungs and make 1t impossible for
the beast to inhaIe air, literally
smothering tn death.
The principal thing TO do by
way Of prevention is to keep cat.
tie off OF rank clover pastures,
especially early in the morning,
after showers, or during damp,
cool days. Such pastures must
be used with great care at any
time. It has been claimed that
feed. .ng dry wheat STRAW, or cured
hay Of any kind, will tend to pre-.
vent bIoating when cattle are
turned on clover pastures. There
is no question but what this will
help some but it cannot be count.
cd on as a sure preventive ol
bloating. Some dry feed should
certainly be given when cattle
are pastured upon q rank growth
OF clover. In addition to this, a
liberal quantity OF freshly burn
ed charctsl should be kept be-
fore the cattle. Burn q lot oil
charcoal every two or three days,
powder it and add q little salI
and leave 1t where cattle may
lick II at will. There 10 practi-
cally no danger Of over-ieedins
on charcoal, and this viii help q
lot in preventing bloat. Bear ia
mind that in soms GASES bloatine
will occur even when cattle are
kept on the clover until neon
