Symptoms.--The animal becomes dull and suffers pain, often expressed by stamping the feet, striking at the abdomen with the hind feet, switch ing the tail, etc. Respirations usually accelerated, appetite lost and rumin- ation suspended.

If food be allowed he will eat a variable quantity with apparent relish, but the symptoms of illness soon become more marked than before. Treatment must be directed to the removal of some of the Impacted mass of food and the restoration to activity to the over-distended wall of the organ. When the distension is not excessive, the administration of a brisk purgative, as 2 lbs. Epsom salts, 3 oz. gamboge and 2 oz. gin- ger in about 134 quarts of warm water given as a drench will usually give good results. This is x fair dose for an ordinary sized cow, the dose for smaller or larger animals should be more or less, according to the size of the animal, Follow this up with 23 drams of nux vomica 'every six or seven hours, allow no solids to eat until free purgation is estab- lished. If purgation has not com- menced in twenty-four to thirty-six hours give 134 pints raw linseed oil, apd this alternated every twelve hours with 1 1b. Epsom salts and 1 os. ginger, until free purgation is established. If a desire for food be expressed a little bran mash may be allowed. Allow all the water the pa- tient will drink. In the meantime keep up the admiristration of nux vemica until pugation commences. It the disease is not yielding to treatment after the second day, some- thing must be given to sustain American boat and om October 4th, 1901, Shamrock II finished two sec- onds ahead of Columbia but lost to the defender in virtue of conceding 42 seconds time allowance. In the races of 1876, 1881, 1885, | 1886 and 1887, the contests were de- | oided on the basis' of the best two |out of three races. From 1893 to | the last race in 1903 the agreement | was for the best three out of five races. On only three occasions has one of the competing yachts for the Amer- fca's «Cup failed .to finish. In the last race of the 1895 contest, Val- kyrie III withdrew immediately after crossing the starting kine, : On Oec- tober 17th, 1899, Shamrock lost her {topmast and withdrew in the sec- | ond race of that year-and on Septem- | ber 3rd, 1903, Shamrock III did not finish in the final race of the series as she was already beaten and had nothing to gain by continuing. Just once in the history of the cup races has a competing yacht been disqualified. This was in the seec- ond race of the series of 1895 when Lord Dunraven"s Valkyrie III was disqualified for fouling Defender. The fastest time ever made in a race for the America's Cup is cred- ited to the old schooner Columbia. On October 18, 1871, the day before she was defeated by Livonia, she sailed 20 miles leeward and 'wind- ward 40 miles in all in three hours, one minute and thinty-three seconds. KH must not be inferred, however, that the Columbia was the fastest yacht that ever sailed for the cup. There is no method of determining the relative speed of two dr more boats other than by the results of a race in which they sarl together. When Columbia made the fast time referred to undofibtedly the condi- tion of wind, weather and sea were most favorable. The fastest time ever made on a 16-mile course straight away and re- turn, 30 miles in all, is credited to the defender Vigilant.

Remember that wood, metal, stucco and often concrete, must have surface protection if they are to be preserved in their original strength and beauty. 4 - N Halifax, you. may learn much about ships, but nothing more important than the valué of surface protection. Immense quantities of paint are used on ships--usually three coats all over, amounting to several dozen barrels to a ship, This expenditure for surface protection, however, is not incurred merely to make ships look well, although, naturally that is one result. The main object is to preserve all surfaces against the sea, the storms, and the sun of every climate into which ships sail. And what is true of ships is true of every- thing else.

In the first three contests for the cup the challenging boats were schooners and the defenders for the second and third also were schoon- ers. In all other contests, however, the yachts have been sloops or cut- ters, The smallest Thallenger in the his- tory of the cup race was Atlanta, which was built at Belleville, On- tario, dn 1881. She measured 64 feet on the "water line and was the first sloop to appear in a contest. The first yacht ever built especi- ally to defend the trophy was Poca- thontas. This was in 1881. Prior to that year the New York Yacht Club had selected from its fleet the yacht considered to be suited for the purpose. ntas did not come up to expectations and was rejected in favor of Mischief, one of the finest sloops of the fleet. Since that year, however, new defenders have been built for every contest. There were two candidates for the nor of defending the cup in 1885, wo in 1886 and four in 1893, and in every contest 'excepting one since the race between Atlanta and Mis- chief the cup _has been defended by a yacht built for that particular race.
