GIVE FI AID T R FARM ANIMALS, always get a veterinarian when one of your farm ani- is wounded, and as bleeding stopped promptly, it is im- ant for you stockmen to know how : xe first-aid treatment. : importance of this has often 'been brought home to me. Once I ans wered a "hurry-up" call from a truck farmer, and found the family gather- ed around an old blood-bespattered white mare. The aged grandpa was sitting almost under the mare, hold- ing his thumb firmly upon the large vein (saphena major) which runs on; 'the inner surface of the hind leg and crosses it transversely at the hock joint. The vein had bled profusely until the old man got his thumb in place, where he held it until 1 arrived four hours later, He was a dis- gruntled old body when he saw me stop the bleeding by binding a padded cork tightly over the vein below the wound. It was then easy to apply & suitable dressing. On another occasion I was called to treat a horse in a big transfer com- pany's stable. There had been a run- away and a wagon pole had torn a t hole in the horse's breast, which d bled freely until the "barn boss" packed a big handful of cobwebs into the wound. This treatment quickly stopped the bleeding, but the filthy cobwebs had carried germs into the wound, and fatal blood poisoning re- sulted. To stop bleeding it is essential to ¥now the nature of the blood vessel which has been cut. From an artery, which carries blood from the heart to an extremity, the blood spurts in pets and is light red in color. To check an artery--and that must be accomplish- ed quickly, else death will result--a rope, rubber tube, or bandage should at once be tightly tied around the leg above the wound. To increase pres- sure, a flat cork wrapped with cotton batting; or a piece of dry sponge or a mass of oakum, may be bound upon SR DAIRY "7 An Impertant matter to look out for in the raising of dairy calves is to feed them so that they will develop a eapacity to handle a large quantity of roughage when they come to ma- turity, as roughage furnishes the most economic part of the ration in the production of milk. My experience in raising dairy calves has been that it is not advisable at any time to feed more than 10 pounds of milk per day, and this should be divided in two feeds. Milk fed in too large a quantity to dairy calves cause poddy calves which do not: develop into large animals of strong constitution. At weaning time the milk should be gradually reduced while the calves are encouraged to eat liberally of roughages such as clover hay, alfalfa and silage. 1 do not believe in feeding dairy galves heavily on fat making grains. My object in growing calves to re- ish my dairy herd, is to produce cows of large bone and muscular de- velopment coupled with the capacity . #0 handle large quantity of nutritious roughage. While I continue feeding gale after weaning I do not make the major part of the ration, "Growing calves on grass should be . encouraged to eat what roughage they will clean up dally as it not only helps to balance up the succulent food, but also stimulates the habit of eating dry roughage. Calves that are fed roughage on pasture do not notice the 'change of feed when brought up in the course of the artery. Then a should be run under the bandage and, used to twist it until firm pressure is obtained. The stick and bandage used in this way are called a tourniquet. When & veterinarian arrives, he will Fer an auto campin' trip with plumes so golden o expose the wound, disinfect it 'thor- oughly, removing all forejgn bodies, catch the upper end. of the severed artery with special forceps, tie it with! a silken cord, and apply an antiseptic, surgical dressing. If the wound isi deep and bleeding profuse, he will also, to lessen blood flow; and if bleeding has been extreme he may give the weakened animal a stimulant, or even a hypodermic injection, to revive heart action. Veins carry impure blood from the extremities toward the heart. When cut, dark red-blue blood flows in a steady, rather sluggish stream, and danger of immediate death only re- sults when the bleeding is long con- tinued. To stop such bleeding a tour- niquet should immediately be applied to the leg below the wound. With that exception, and the tying of the lower end of the severed vessel, the treat- ment is the same as for bleeding from an artery. Tight bandages applied to stop bleeding should be removed as soon as possible, else they may induce gan- grene or death of the part from which blood circulation has been cut off. Many a lamb has been killed by bind- ing its tail tightly close to the body before docking, and forgetting to re- move the ligature. In one instance, too, a lady put a strong rubber band around her dog's paw to keep a wound dressing in place, and forgot all about it after the dog had prompily chewed off the bandage and licked the insig- nificant wound to his satisfaction, But the rubber band remaining in place gradually ate its way through skin and flesh until it came in contact with the bone. The consequence was that the poor dog's paw had to be ampu- tated, so hopelessly had it become infected. Old Orchard Lands.

As a matter of fact, they themselves probably lied when they were children but they have mostly forgotten those days or, if they remember, they wish the matter of their own transgressions hushed up. Lying in children is an almost uni- versal trait. This does not mean that children's lies should be condoned or that, because all children lie, we should pass by the fault and wait for them to outgrow it, or handle it so it will be overlooked and accepted as are many of the lies of grown people. It means we should try to understand why children lie and save them. Per- | haps if children were saved from ly- ing, there would be less liars amongst men. complex world those who have the child, confused in ablé: to the "lie" of the adult, Children are truthful by nature.

The small boy out cruising around on his own, an hour and a half later, sees Dad sitting in Bill Jone's store swapping yarns with half a dozen other men who also are "seeing a man," and he knows Dad has led. The boy must admire Dad, however, because he is a Big Man and so if Dad lies and gets away with it, who is to blame if Johnny, lies too? Dad has Hed because he's afraid if he tells the truth about going out to swap yarns with Bill Jones there will be a fuss.
