CATTLEBiOATING j
BY EATING GREENS
With the approach of the season
at which bloating of cattle frequently
1 C A ? ? 1 1 !
occurs, ure isureuu 01 Animai maustiy
of the United States Department
of Agriculture calls attention to the
principal causes of the trouble and
also the means by which it may be
avoided. Many a cow has come to an
untimely end because she become dis
satisfied with the scanty feed to be j
gathered from the closely crop-fed 1
pasture, broke down the fer^cc that
surrounded a field containing a more
luxuriant growth, and stuffed herself
with the luscious, stolen greens,
until she lost all desire for even
another mouthful.
Soon her troubles begin. Fermentation
develops in the mass of'corn
or clover, and gas forms that fills j
the first stomach of the cow to its
utmost capacity.
How Fermentation Causes Death.
The danger to the animal from
acute bloating is not that the distend
ed stomach may rupture, for such an
accident is almost unknown. The
pressure of the gas-distended stomach,
however, exerts a dangerous
pressure upon the heart and lungs,
with the result that animals dying j
from acute hloatinir usually die of I
strangulation through inahility to
breathe with their compressed lung
tissue.
The stock owner should guard
against the bloating of his cattle by
every precaution at his command.
Clover or other green vegetation, if
j eaten when wet by dew or rain,
seem to be especially liable to ferment
before leaving the first stomach
of the animal that has fed upon
tbr m. Eating excessive amounts of
middlings or corn meal will also
cause bloating. It also occurs in
cattle as a result of becoming choked.
The principal cause, however, is
overeating succulent green forag:,
such as clover, green corn, or cabbage.
Change Feed Gradually.
To prevent bloating in cattle, the
animals should be shifted by easy
stages, from dry or scanty feed to
| abundant and luxuriantly growing
fodder. They may be allowed to
feed from the good forage for only
three-quarters of an hour on the
rirst day they are given access ro
such glazing. A full hour may be
allowed on the second day, and by
'continued slow steps and graduady
lengthened stay in the tempting
feed, the danger of loss from bloating
will be largely overcome.
But in case the first evidence of a
too protracted stay in the heavy
gi ovvth of forage should be that the
owner notices one of his animal*
with sides distended, and perhaps
even lifted above the level of the
'backbone, he must act quickly. Re
I moval of the iras from the pauncl
I will quickly bring relief. If a veter
inarian is within reach he shook
he summoned at once. If no surgeoi
is available the owner should imme
diately attempt to bring relief to hi

Trocar and Method of Use.
Many cattle owners keep a trocar
and canula constantly on hand and*
thoroughly understand its use. The
trocar is a sharp-pointed rod provided
with a metalic sheth or canula
which leaves the point of the trocar
exposed. The spot to be selected for
insort.imr ?ho trocar is n noint ooual
ly distant from the last rib, the hip
bone, and the lateral bony projections
from the spine in the region of
the loins. Here a small cut about
three-fourths of an inch long should
be made through the skin with a
small knife, and then the trocar with
, canula attached may be pushed
' through the cut into the paunch.
! The trocar is then removed, allowing
i the gas to escape through the canula.
? The canula should be retained in
; place so long as any gas escapes
- through it. Sometimes several hours
1 are necessary, and the canula should
- bo firmly tied in place. An attendi
ant should remain near the animal,
1 if possible, so long as the canula
- is in the paunch.

"THE GROWING STORE"
If the animal is not distressed by
the bloating and the swelling of the
body is not great, or'when the alarm- 1
ing conditions have been removed by <
the use of the trocar, it is best to j
resort to internal medicine to allay I
the formation of gas. Two ounces of ]
aromatic spirits of ammonia in 2
quarts of cold water should be given
every half hour, or half an ounce of i
chloride of lime dissolved in a pint
of tepid water rmiy be given every
half hour until the pressure of the
bloating has been removed. A dose of
purgative medicine is usually beneficial
after the bloating has disappeared.
For this purpose 1 pound of
Glauber's salts will usually prove effective.
Care should be used in the administration
of fluid medicines. Take
time. Do not hold the cow's head too
high. Keeping the animal's head
raised so that her nose is slightly
higher than the level of her face will
