These swellings are generally focated aleng the back, over the shoulder joints or between 'the thighs. They vary much in shape .and size and may form quite slowly er with marked rapidity. They are rarely painful, and when opened are found to contain either blood or a watery yellow fluid. The affected animal does not appear to be very #igk and either stands or lies in the aeeustomed way. ¥ood may be taken im small quanities, but the appetite is mot good. The outer part of the eye is very pale, so alse is the lining membrance of the nose. The swell- imgs which are so characteristic of the disease are due to an escape of blood from the, vessels. The small arteries and veins have become weak- ened by the disease so that rupture i8 made easy. } In another form of the disease the bleod loses its power of clotting so that animals may bleed to death af-.

In all the ¥@ases investigated the sick animals had been ted sweet clov- er hay or ensilage which had' been damaged by excessive heating or mowing. Sometimes the change predieed in the hay has been so Mgt that the farmer has either not g8eem i or has thought it to be of no .gongequence, © It is frequently diffi- edlt to make the owner believe that such sghtly 'damaged food is respon- sible for the serious disease of his auimads. The Prevention of Mould. . : _ Whtether the mould which is so generally found in the damaged feed is the ultimiate cause of the disease isa net a matter of great importance. It pregemce is a danger signal which must. be heeded. It can be said with egertainty that if the hay shows no mow in the rpicw, and the ensilage no nyeuld in the siio, that either can be fed with safety. How then can For the most satisfactory methods of culti- vating and harvesting the reader is referred to Bulletin 296 of the On- tario Agricultural College. Apart frem the moulding which may oceur in the field due to damp weather, or in the mow due to insufficient curing, there is another way which must be gonsidered. It is the development of 'monld due to the moist air rising through the ceiling of the cattle gtable below and settling out on the 'hay in the mow. This, 1 feel sure, has been the cause of mouldy hay'in general cases. If must be prevented by either a tight ceiling or putting a straw bottom in the mow. Coin- mo -8alt seems to be of real value eking the growth of moulds in the hay mow. From fifty to one : hundred pounds is required for each ton, and this must be sprinkled uni- fprmly through the hay while itis keing spread in the mow. Geod Sweet Clover Harmless, Many experiments have been con- ducted in the feeding of samples of goad and bad sweet clover to calves and rabbits. The animals receiving the damaged food almosL always be- came ill and died. In no case has there been any sickness in the ani- mals fed upon, good sweet clover hay op ensilage. In one experiment two eaves were fed an exclusive diet 'of geod sweet clover ensilage over 3 period: of six weeks and both remain- ed well. Rabbits have been fed 'on samples of bad sweet clover hay 'which were taken from the same hay mew. Those which received the good \ - hay lived while those which received the bad died. In Conclusion, The use of sweet clover for hay is risky. because if moulds and other organisms grow in the hay it may Become a highly peisonous foed. The ten cent instrument, so fre- quently peddled at the country fairs, which 4s supposed to serve half a dozen purposes from opening tin cans to drawing a three inch screw, rarely does more than two things well, and that is all that should be expected for the money.
