CATTLE BLOATING ON RED CLOVER at wrist or iii-cont! crop, writes C. P. Goodrich. Farmers frequently suffer oerious losses by cattle dying from this As most farmers know. cattle are lia- ble to bloat. it allowed. or compelled. to food exclusively or oven lurgoly on nah-growing. {nah red clover. eith- cause. This trouble can be prevented if proper means are taken. I have had no cases of clover! bloat for more than twenty years. although for most of that time my cows have been pastured each summer on clover. Many years ago. before [learned how to prevent it. I had frequent cases of bloat. The plan I adopted was this: " In the morning before my cows were turned out for the first time in the spring on the clover which ‘had attained a rank growth. they were given their regular feed of dry fodder and grain. Then when they were turned out, they had their stomachs full and were not hun- gry. They ate a little clover, then roamed around the field for a while and laid down. In the afternoon they got up. ate some more clover and were taken to the stable toward night and given some nice hay which, to my as- tonishment, they ate greedily. They did not bloat. Ever. since then I have always had some good hay in the man- gers When my cows are put in to be milked twice a day. and they always eat some. If the pasture is rank clov- er. then they always eat the hay very greedily. nature seeming to prompt them to eat that which will prevent bloating. With cattle. other than rows. that are left in the pasture all the time I have found that a stack of good hay in the mature where they can have free access to it. will prevent bloat. A' pen of rails should be put. around the stack so as to prevent the cattle trampling over and wasting it. I re- member of a friend of mine turning some sixty head of cattle into a field of rank clover for the first time. about the first of June. His neighbors pro- phesied that he would suffer great loss from bloat. But the owner knew what he was about. He had two or three stzu'ks of good clover hay in the field. It was noticed every day that after the cattle hml pastured on the clover for an hour or so they would all make a rush‘ for the stac ks and would eat! hay for a few minutes as ravenously as though half starved. There was no bloat in that herd. In all my experi- ence I have never known of cattle to bloat from eating green clover where they could have good. palatable dry feed at the same time. Where there is nothing better I have seen cattle leave the rank clover and eat fiequently from an old straw stack which happen- ed to be in the pasture. and act. as though they had found something de- licious. I firmly believe that a straw stack has saved many an animalfrom clover-bloat. though to make them safe it is better to provide good hay. Al- though prevention is much better than a cure. yet if through mismanagement carelessness. accident or ignorance. cat- tle do suffer from clover bloat. it is well to know how to best treat them. There are a number of different reme- dies. recommended but in urgent cases thev must be tapped or death will soon follow The proper instrument for this is a trocar which is a sharp. pointed instrument having a sheath. By cut- ting. with a knife. a hole through the skin. the trocar can be pushed in. and when drawn out the sheath is left in. out through which the gas escapes. As a regular trocar is not always at. hand. and such a case will not admit of delay. a substitute can be quicklv made with a goose quill for a sheath and a plunger made of hard wood well sharpened. To use suc h a one it is ne- cessary to cut a hole though with a knife. The place to tap an animal is on the left side at anoint “ equally distant from the last rih. the hip bone and the transverse processes of the lumber vertehrea." I will give some remedies for bloat. which are said by stood authorities to be good, though I have never tried any of them and can- not speak from experience. Give tur- pentine in doses of one to five table- soooafuls. according to size of animal. Here is another: " Make a hit of a stick two inchesthroughmut it inthe mouth and hold it there hv a rone passing over the head like a bridle. It. is said the animal will hold its head up. the mouth of course. open. and keep work- ing the tongue in an endeavor to pet the hit out and in this way the gas escapes. It is also said that a dose of soda is good. But one great trouble with all these remedies is that the bloatinc is not. always discovered un- til too late and the animals die. there- fore. I strongly urge all farmers to ad- opt the preventive measures I have re- commended and be safe from bloat. 130MB DAIRY QUESTIONS Axs- The following questions and answers regarding bscteria and other dairy matters should he suggestive to my one engaged in the production of milk: “flu should the udder. etc.. of the cows ad the hands of the milker be made as clean as mssiblo before milk- Why should milk be removed from stable on noon ts possible after milk- :13) keep bacterit from getting i Why should mm: M be put a once after milking into 0103er covered cans?

Her hat. of course. is simple. one which will stand a good brushing. and first and foremost it must be light and comfortable.

A‘ gauze veil. thin and without spots. is agreat con- venience. since they are cooler than a mesh, and prevent cinders from blow- ing into the eyes. Wire hairpins should be left behind, as in leaning back noth- ing so irritates the scalp as a lot of unyielding wires. and these pins must always be fastened tightly. so as not to show. while on the other hand, those of shell or rubber may be but loosely slipped in. since they are pretty, and yield easily to every turn of the head. These seem like small matters. but they go far to rendering the trip pleasant or otherwise. The corset must be loose.

There seems to be abundant testi- mony from experienced bee keepers that a deep and wide entrance to the hive is better for large colonies than a smaller entrance. It gives room for the bees to pass in and out more rap- idly. and it aives more ventilation. Bees often quit work and loaf around hanging on the front of the hive as it about to swarm, when the hives are so warm and so illy ventilated that they cannot exist and be comfortable inside. We do not blame them for strik- ing work under such conditions. They usually occur with the largest colon- ies, and those with frames well filled, asthe greaterthe number the greater the heat inside. and the greater the necessity for ventilation. If the col- ony is small and weak, the entrance could be narrowed mp. ‘which may help as a safeguard against robbing. But we usually think that a colony so weak that others rob it is not. worth trying to save. A Wide alighting board in front of the hive is an advantage. as it prevents the bees from the necessity of alighting on the earth, or falling from the narrow board to the earth and soiling the combs with muddy or dusty feet. If this were provided for, there would be less said about “trav- el-stained " combs, for there would not, be a) much strain upon the comb if the bees had unthing to carry in ex- cepting what they had gathered from the flowers. Of course. with the hives on a stand broader than the length of the hive the bees can alight on the stand and crawl into the hives. It is in this way many use hives which have no alighting hoard. GARDEN OF EDEN NEARTHE POLE. For a long time it has been contend- ed by many that the Garden of Eden was located on one of the table lands of Hindostan or Thihet, but now M. Louis Wilzer. a distinguished anthrop- ologist. comes forward and claims that it must have been situated very near the North Pole. His study of the cran- ial formation of the various races of mankind has led him to this conclu- sion. According to him. mankind may he broadly divided into two great racesâ€"the whites of Europe and the colored and yellow populations of Asia and Africa. Among the Europeans. he claims. the Scandinavians are the pur- est. and for this reason he maintains that the parents of mankind must have lived near the North Pole. WHY IT PLEASED HER.

DC steamer chair. a 8‘ for $2.95, 89d grill Ilow he Treated a Young olflnr wluo lame“ Ills Home. Lord William Pitt Lennoxj who died a few years ago. was in his youth a subaltern under the Duke of We]- lington. He was fond of telling astory which shows how gentle and patient the great. soldier could be. The Duke once lent him his fav- ourite horse. for a hunt. and warned him to be careful of the animal. Lord William obeyed the injunction to the extent of declining an invitation of some brother officers to join them in a steeplechase. which he gladly would have done had the. horse been his own. Nevertheless, before he got. home the house became lame. and as he led him into ‘he stable, the horrified faces of the grooms presaged the anger with which the Duke would learn of what. had happened to the charger. At dinner he met the Duke. who was evidently ignorant of the cause which embarrassed the young soldier. and who enquired how the horse had ac- quitted himself at the hunt. “He is a splendid animal.” said the chief, "and I would not have him harmed for the world." “I’m afraid he' is a little lame." he said. expecting the next moment to be annihilated. Lord “'illiam’s heart quailed within him; but he screwed up his courage to confess. To his great astonishment the Duke said in a. calm voiceâ€" “Can't be helped. Accidents will happen and perhaps it is not. so bad as_ you fear." It was worse. however. and the next morning the Duke again approached him. “Now." he said to. himself. “my hour has come. it will he in Cassio's words. ‘Never more be officer of mine.’ " ‘ “Look here. Lennox." said the Duke. ”Yes; it’s all up with me." the young man's heart whispered. “Look here. Lennox.; I can’t afford to run the risk of losing all my best horses, soâ€"â€"" “No more hunting for me." said Len- nox's conscience in anticipation of what waecoming. "So." cofitinued the Duke. “in the future you shall have the brown horse and the chestnut mare. and. if you harm them you must mount yourself." Woman. he hissed. between you and me it shall be a duel to the death! The lady smiled. :As the challenged party. said she. I have the choice of weapons. Let it be hatpins.
