"rr RYDEN UBSEXY ric Black, Green or Mixed =~ { : : : "mon cause is a sudden change from dry food to a liberal supply of green food of any kind, principally to the | different varieties of. clover, and more particularly when the clover is in flower. the voracity with which cattle that have been accustomed to dry food consume green fodder. Hence it is more prevalent in the spring than in other seagons. It may result from feeding too freely on green food of any kind, especially on thd® upon which dew or rain is present, and l more particularly when hence is not uncommon in the fall "when cattle are allowed to consume clover, rape, turnip tops, ete., when frosted. Any food that readily fer-. ments; if taken in sufficient quan- tities to temporarily check digestion, will quickly form gases and cause bloating. It is often a complication in cases of choking, the mechanical impediment in the gullet being the direct cause by preventing escape of gas through that organ. Sudden changes of diet of any kind may cause the trouble, and insufficient secretion of saliva may have the same effect. While some of the above-named causes usually precede an attack, it 'is not uncommon to notice a well- marked case for which no well- marked cause can be traced. Such cases are doubtless due to some un- suspected and not well understood temporary derangement of the diges- tive glands and muscular coat of the rumen. Any condition that causes torpidity of the rumen may cause bloating, even. though no change of food of a dangerous nature has taken place. Torpidity of the rumen occurs in debilitating diseases, in fact in most diseases of the ox, and also from the introduction of excessively cold material, ag frosted fodder, into the organ. Symptoms.--THKE patient exhibits symptoms of pain and uneasiness by lying down and rising frequently, kicking at the belly, ete. Rumina- THREE Good Ones 'Speak for Themselves ; There is general depression, protru- sion of the muzzle, projection and congestion of the ayes, Increased flow of saliva; and usually moaning dur- ing expiration. The back is arched and there is a more or less well- marked swelling of the abdomen, especially marked on the left side be- tween the point of the hip and the last rib. If this be pressed with the finger 'it will yield, but at once re- | gain its former condition when pres- sure ig relieved. If tapped with the fingers a resomic, tympanic or drum- name '"'tympanitis." Distension of the rumen causes forward pressure up- on the diaphragm (the muscular partition between the abdomen and lung cavity), hence lessens the space of the lung cavity and causes diffi- the degree of bloating. Death may occur quickly from. rupture of the suffocation, or absorption of gases. move or neutralize the gases, and prevent the formation of more. It will depend upon the severity of the attack and the degree of distension of the rumen, whether it will be wise sto attempt the immediate removal of ' the gases by an operation, or admin- ister drugs to neutralize them. When . bloating is not excessive, with little or no danger of death occurring quickly, the administration of any drug that will neutralize the gasés may and should be effective. tine" is probably the best simple remedy. This is given in 2 to 4 oz. doses (a tablespoon holds about 14 0z.) according to the size of the pa- tient and state of distension. This should be mixed with a pint of raw linseed ofl. procured, melted butter or lard or new milk answers the purpose well. If necessary the dose may be re- peated in one to two hours. 5 gt Carbonate of ammonia, 4 to § drams, or bi-carobnate of soda, (bak- ing soda) 1 to 13% oz. in a pint of water, also acts well, but not so surely and promptly as turpentine. It is also good practice to put a hay rope or piece of wood about 2 inches in diameter into the patient's mouth and fasten it there. This facilitates the escape of gas through the gullet. In cases where bloating is extreme the gases should be removed by mechanical or surgical means. In some cases the passing of a rubber tube down the gullet to the rumen will give immediate relief, When this fails an opening must be made through the skin and coats of the runien at the most prominent part in front of the point of the left hip. The hair should be clipped off the seat of operation, and.it, with the hands of the operator and instru- ments, disinfected with a 5 per cent. solution of Carbolic acid or one of the coal tar antiseptics. The proper instrument for this operation is a trogar and canula, but when this is not on hand an ordinary pocket-knife can be used and the lips of the wound kept apart to: allow escape of the Jases. ; ; 3 After bloating has disappeared it s good practice to administer a laxa- svc of about 1. 1b. epsom salts or 114 sints raw li seed oil, and feod light- iv for a few days.--J.

The most com- | CHOOSING LUBRICANTS Practical Advice Regarding Ue of Machine Oils. They Should Possess the Qualities of Adhesion and Cohesion--Mineral:~ Vegetable and Fish Oils All In Use--Planting Potatoes for Seed. Agriculture, Toronto.) p» HILE possibly every care and attention is given to the mechanism of farm machinery, few, if any, give considetation to the quality of the lubricants used. The efficiency of any power is ser- icusly affected by peor or improper lubrication of surfaces in frictional contact, indeed, it is estimated at about 50 per cent. of the available amount of energy in useful work. The object of lubrication is not only to reduce friction, but also to carry away whatever excess of heat may be generated, for -a certain amount of work will produce a given quantity of heat, but the carrying away of the heat is only an incidental condition, for heating of the bearing "should not arise. Oils for lubricating purposes When you buy a TRACTOR, use just as much care in making your selection as you would in buying a good horse. Don't make the important decision too hastily--find out for i yourself. Be sure that the TRACTOR has all the features essential to all-round service, efficiency, and economy of operation. For instance, look for: A KEROSINE ENGINE that will operate on cheap fuel. A THR should possess two qualities--that of cohesion and adhesion. Their cohe- sive properties lie in the character of their molecules to cling to each other, and their adhesive quality to stick to anything else. The union of these two properties make up what is known as viscosity, that is the body of the lubricant. This in a greater degree than any other factor deter- mines the lubricating value of the oils. While viscosity of an oil deter- mines"its value as a lubricant, fluid- ity indicates its adaptability to any one particular machine. It is because of the struggle between viscosity and fluidity that the same oil will not do for the heavy engine shaft, and for light weight machinery. Each re- quires an oil with just sufficient "body" to carry the load without be- ing squeezed out of the bearing. Beyond this condition the more fluid and easier moving the oil the better. A thick lubricating film of good resisting body is needed «for the line shaft of an ocean liner, but a drop of the same oil would put a watch out of commission. Practically all the lubricants now in use are of the mineral oil founda~ tion treated to free them from acid, and to improve their suitability for special purposes. Sperm oil is spe- cially good for high speed light machinery: for heavy bearings castor oil, but both are expensive. For great pressure at slow weed lard, tallow, and other solid lubricants "are suit- able. If pressure is great, and speed high, castor, sperm, and heavy min- eral oils are used.. For low pressure at high speed, olive, sperm, rape and refined petroleum give satisfaction. Vegetable and fish oils are drying oils, that is, they oxidize rapidly, causing gumming or clogging of the bearings to which they are applied. A mineral oil does not oxidize, nei- ther does an animal oil. But mineral oils have a low flash point: that is, they fire at a low temperature. Ani- mal oils develop fatty acids; these corrode and pit the metal they are used to lubricate® Adulterants of various kinds are added to oils and greases/to give them~ "body."

This refers entirely to the produc- tion of seed potatoes; not those in- tended for human consumption. The growing of seed potatoes is better divided into iwo sections, the early and the late, For growing early po- tatoes of the Irish Cobbler variety | the seed should be selected true to type and free as possible from any of the various diseases which affect . the potato plant or tuber. These ' should be from 8 to 12 ounces in| weight and cut up into pieces 2 ounces in weight with two eyes to ; the piece. They are planted about possible cultivation with the soil in a state of high fertility; better hav- ing been clover sod well fertilized with barnyard manure to which has been added a considerable quantity of commercial fertilizer, about 800 Ibs. per acre. Thorough spraying to. control leaf diseases and the Colorado Beetle should be given throughout -the season. For the late seed the Green Mountain or Rural New Yorker is' used. The planting is generally done about June 1st to June. 5th under similar conditions to the for- mer.
