Something like one-third OF the

during August Plantin was son Of

1t was the peculiar achievement Of
Plantin to bring honor and glory to
the printers trade in the days Of Its
infancy. With keen appreciation
Of the beauties Of literature, Plantin
delighted in perfecting his workman
ship in order that these beauties
might be published in the most at
tractive form possible, although his
tools were those of common work

en- when wet by dew or rain, seems to
be especially liable to ferment be-
fore leaving the first stomach Of the
animal that has fed upon them. Eat
ing excessive amounts Of middlings or
corn meal will also cause bloating. 1t
also occurs in cattle as result Of be-
coming choked. The principal cause,
however, is overeating succulent green
forage such as clover, green corn or
cabbage.
Change Feed Gradually.
To prevent bloating in cattle, the
animals should be shifted, by easy
stages, from dry or scanty feed to
abundant and luxuriantly growing fod-
der. They may be allowed to feed
from the good forage for only three
quarters of an hour on the first day
they are given access to such grazing.
A full hour may be allowed on the
second day, and by continued slow
steps and gradually heightened stay
in the tempting feed. the danger Of
loss from bloating will be largely
overcome.
But in case the first evidence Of a
too prOtracted stay in the heavy
growth of forage should be that the
owner notices one of his animals with
sides distended, and perhaps even lift
ed above the level of the backbone,
he must act quickly. Removal OF the
gas from the paunch will quickly bring
relief. If veterinarian is within
