Luck- ey, State Veterinarian, has issued a statement from the office of the Missouri Board of Agriculture in which he says the recént losses of cattle from bloating, while on clover pasture, have. been quite extensive. The weather has been favorable for rank growth of all kinds of clover. The white varie- ty seems to be responsible for the most of ‘the trouble. The danger is particularly great on damp, cool days when the clov- ers are fresh and palatahle. Cat- tle are very apt to over-eat. The rumen (or paunch) becomes over- loaded and the fermenting mass causes a rapid generation of gas. “The symptoms usually come on in a very short time. A cow may be in a dangerous condition with- in a half hour after eating hearti- _ ly of the white or other clovers. Frequently, the bloating is so in- tense as to produce death before any treatment can be given. The rumen becomes so distended with gas as to press forward on the lungs and make it impossible for the beast to inhale air,’ literally smothering to death. The principal thing to .do by way of prevention is to keep cat- tle off of rank, clover pastures, especially early in the morning, after showers, or during damp, cool days. Such pastures must be used with great care at any time. It has been claimed that feeding dry wheat straw, or cured hay of any kind, will tend to prevent bloating when cattle are turned on > clover pastures. There is no ques- Wie cate aoe pases e a rank growth of clover.

A Leipsig paper has been quot- d as saying tat while food is carefully onserved and while thousands have been made orphans by the war and are almost destitute of ‘ood or shelter, more than 10,000 dogs are kept in the city. It is suggested that the authorities in- rease the dog tax and if the own- ers complain let the dogs be seized, turned over to the butchers “and made to serve a more useful pur- pose dead than they did alive, and a cheap and wholesome would become at once available food a pocket knife, or even a butcher hi Pt Fig poorest.””—From the knife.

Jordan, farmers’ institute lecturer of the Missouri State Board of Agriculture, makes the following statemegi based on his experiences as a fayner and his investigations as farm seeds: This danger signal is not a flag but a weed—and a bad one! It is easily recognized at this time, and is commonly best known as “Red Topped Sorrell’’, or “Red, Sorrell.’’ It starts in small spots and spreads by seed and root-stalks, and the spot grows rapidly laré- er year by year until it will almost completely destroy meadows and pastures. The tops or seed and blossom parts. range from pale red to bright red. This makes the pest easily recognizable from May 15 to early June. Stems are slender, and from six inches to a foot tall commonly, and the leaves have a sort of lobe at each side toward the base. The roots are not large and run out under the surface, and new plants are sent up from the roots at short intervals, It is one of the hardest of all weeds to get rid of. If work is begun, before it spreads too much, it may be smothered out by covering heav- ily with manure or.straw. Heavy oiling or salting will kill it, but after it once spreads over a field there is no practical way to get rid of it, that is known at this time. Since it likes sour soil best, lim- ing and manuring heavily will help to cowd it out with plants that like lime. The seed is small and shaped like a buckwheat grain. They are commonly found in a rough hull of a reddish brown color. Seeds are most commonly found in the seed of alsike clbver, and in . pasture mixtares.
