f$llPr •c© Page Fourtout' .1 THE McHENEY PLAINDEALER Thursday, August 27, SPEEDS RECOVERY mm® A^vhirlpool for relieving pain caused by fractures and sprains is now in use at McHenry hospital. The unit also, increases the speed of healing and promotes free use of the, patient's joints. . . Shown demonstrating the machine is Edward Van Der Pluvm for Mrs. Chester Banker, center, supervisor of nurses, and Mrs. Pearl Alexander/physical therapist. An electric neck traction device is also used in the hospital physical therapy department for more effective treatment of fractures. This unit reduces patient discomfort by applying slow, intermittent traction under a regulated pressure which can be increased as desired. The intermittent positive pressure machine is also a piece of equipment usually found only in larger hospitals. This unit automatically adds antibiotics or detergents to an oxygen supply and sprays the mist into the lungs under a regulated pressure. This loosens mucuous and enables patients with asthma and pneumonia to breathe freely. This Business - Farming Bloat in cartle is a serious problem for farmers. The cause of bloat is thought to be the inability of the animal to get rid of the gas normally produced in the paunch. It seems that even normal gas may cause death when held in the paunch and not belched off. Fresh forage hinders belching when large quantities are eaten within a short time. It could be that some chemical in the plant paralyzes the animal's stomach to such an extent that it cannot belch, according to W. E. Thomas, assistant professor of Animal Husbandry, North Carolina State College. j Inhere are no "sure methods | of preventing bloat." Some m a n a g e m e n t p r a c t i c e s h a v e been helpful, but they are usually costly, difficult and require extra labor. These include: 1. Maintaining a pasture mixture of 50 per cent grass and 50 per cent legume. 2. Feeding hay before turning cattle into legume pastures. 3. Cutting a strip through the pasture to cured forage, or feed hay in a rack in the pasture. 4. Watching the animals closely during the bloating season. If bloat becomes serious, it may be necessary to remove the ones that are restless and show signs of swelling. 5. Using an electric fence to limit the animals to a small area. This forces the animals to eat the legume leaves and stems as well as the grass. In reviewing the research from the various experiment stations the following practices are of doubtful values: 1. Continuous grazing day and night. 2. Pasture legumes only when free of dew and rain. 3. Feeding extra minerals. 4. Feeding extra grain before pasturing. Following the best of management practices some cattle will bloat. The following practices will help to control this trouble. If cattle are watched carefully, they usually show signs of bloat before they are in serious condition. 1. Keep bloating animals moving slowly, and don't run them. If this does not start belching, 'remove the animals from the field and feed them some dry hay. Cattle should be watched carefully for the first few days they are turned on a rank legume pasture or i when they have turned on af- ter being off for a few hours and are hungry. Animals extremely bloated require emergency treatment. The local veterinarian should be consulted for treatment or immediate advice if he cannot get there within a srort time.
