The Wingham Times, 1896-03-20, Page 7TII:E WINGIIAM TIMES, MARCH eO, 1896, Colic. Pointers on Turkey Rarain f;. This disease is very frequent in horses. It is of two kinds ---the flat- ulent, or colic with. swelling; and the spasmodic, or colic with great pain, but very little gas at first; no swel- ling, but cramps of the bowels. The cause of the frequency of this dis- order in horses is that the horse has the smallest stomach and the longest bowels of any animal of its size. Much of the horses digestive proeess takes place in the bowels. • Tho cow on the other hand, has four shomachs and very short bowels. Colic is very much a bowel complaint. The flatulent colic is caused by sudden changes in food, too long fasting, feeding when the horse is exhausted —in fact, by anything that produces indigestion. The pains from the start are continuous; the horse paws, and may or may not lie down. The belly enlarges, and is hard and drumlike, Then followshard breathing, perspiration, trembling of hind legs, staggering, and finally plunging forward and death. Alkalinos should be promptly given. Baking soda, in doses of 2 to 4 ounces, is good, as is chloride of lime in half ounce doses every half hour. Charcoal may cto good as an absorbent. Injections are frequent- ly useful to stimulate the action of the bowels and carry off the gases. Blankets wrung out of hot wrung out of hot water do much to give relief—they should be ehanged every five minutes, and covered with dry woollen blankets. This form of colic need quick, prompt attention, or is often fatal. Do not cease your efforts until you are sure the animal is dead, In very bad eases th e bowels may be•punctured and the gas allowed to escape by means of a small trocar; such punctures are not followed by any bad results when carefully done.—Farming for March. Whatever is pure is also simple,— Willmot. "And age is a time, of. peace So it be free from pain." fa SAID ITS 's The descent of the hill of life should bo gradual and easy, Tho decline of life should bo free from caro and sickness and path. So it 'would be in the great majority of casts worn the prime of life lived according to Nature's rules. Ilut in the struggle for wealth and fame, swimming against the strong tido of oompetition,health is neglected, We live too fast, work too hard, drink too much, sleep too little, keep our nerves on the jump all the time, Then the Kidneys give out. They can't stand the terrible strain to which they are being sub- jected. As a result the blood is not properly filtered. It passes through the system unpurifted, and carries disease to every organ of the body. That terrible affliction of old age, Rheumatism, oleos on the joints and makes life unendurable with *flaring. Muedule.r weakness, tiredness, depression, irregular heart action, and shortness of 'breath follow in its train. Perhaps there is suppression of urine, fre- quently it scalds, and often there aro brick red deposits in it. The remaining years of life instead of being peaceful, happy and free from pain, aro one con- tinuous round of suffering. Is there no help or hope this side the grave? A thousand times YES. Dome's Kidney Pins aro the great remedy for all those ailments that arise through diseased or disordered kidneys. They're the old people's friend. They relieve their sufferings, cure their diseases, and infuse ;SOwhealth and hope and happiness into their life. But °always see that you got Doan's ; other Ville are almost sure to disappoint.

After the young poults are hatched they are left for twenty- four hours in the nest, and Chen the mother and youngsters aro token to a larger box, which is bearded up on all sides. They are confined to this for a day and are taught to oat bread crumbs, soaked in milk from the hand. They are fed five or six times during the clay. For the last heal a little shorts should be mixed with the bread crumbs and milk. TJ'c next day they were removed to a large coop, the front of which is made of slats. Tho hen is confined. here, the poults allowed to run in and out through the slats at will. The coop is set in a place where the grass is cropped quite short. The reason of this is that in the morning the long grass is wet with dew, but on short grass the dew dries off more quickly. It is important that the poults should not get wet. A scarecrow is placed near the coop to keep away hawks and crows. Mr. Bell informed me that the most im- portant thing in turkey raising is to move the coop in which the mother is confined the width of itself every morning, so as to have it on clean ground each day. The feed given after the first couple of days for five weeks in shorts, mixed with any kind of milk. The poults are fed five times during the day. Twice each day dandelions and onions are cut up` ins and nixed with the shorts. Mr. Bell is strongly of the opinion that feeding dandelions keeps the bowls in good order, which is of the utmost importance to turkeys, and the onions are fed to keep up the appetite. Half milk and half water is always before them for a drink. After the poults are five weeks old the hen is at liberty to go where she will. She is, however, always con- I fined at night. In the morning shorts are fed and the hen and poults allowed to wonder. During the day I they pick up numerous insects and grasshoppers, and after they are brought home at night they arc given all the wheat they can eat.— From Farming for March. Spay Ing. This is an opinion which is very little practised in this country, and yet it is almost as necessary in the case of young sows that are intended for fattening as castration is in the case of young males, as unspayecl, or as they are commonly called, open sows are much harder to fatten than spayed ones, and it is almost impos- sible to cure properly the meat from a sow that is in season when killed. The best age at which to operate on young sows is when they are from eight to ten weeks old, and the best way of preforming the opporation is as follows: The young sew, having been previously fasted for about twenty- four hours, so as to allow the intes- tines to becorne emptied, it caught by the hind legs by an assistant and thrown on its right side; the operator puts his right foot on its neck, and the hind legs are held straight back by the assistant so as to make the walls of the- flank tense. With a sharp knife, which should be thoroughly clean and disinfected, a small incision is made through the walls of the abdomen in the middle of the left flank, the whole being made large enough to admit the index finger freely into the abdom- inal cavity. By careful examination with the finger the left ovary will be felt floating in the abdominal cavity, it being about the size of a pea. When once the ovary is felt, by pressing it with the finger against the abdominal wall, the operator will be able to work it forward to the opening and press it through; then gently draw it out along with a portion of the uterus (womb) until the right ovary is also brought into view, when the whole of the exposed organs, viz., ovaries and uterus, are severed with the knife, and the wound aftel'twards sown up carefully 'with two or three stitches. Tee after treatment consists of keeping the animals in a clean sty, and feeding them on easily -digestible food.—From Farming for March.

Can our pastures be profitably renovated without plowing them under ? In some instances they can; in others they cannot. Various modes of renovating pastures have been proposed and also practised. But there is no method, probably, that is so universally, or so potent, as that of top -dressing with farm- yard manure, in conjunction with the sowing of additional seed when necessary. When an old pas- ture becomes sod. bound, and. in con- sequence, does not throw up a vigor- ous growth will be secured the fol- lowing season, and probably for two or three seasons, But where the grass roots have died from any cause or where they are growing but thinly, it may be wise to sow some seed en them before applying the manure; usually, no more suitable seed can be sown than clover: that is to say, red clover on the high land and aisike on the low. If the seed is sprinkled on the soil before apply- ing the manure it will be well, but if this cannot be done, it may be sprinkled on the manure early in the season. It will find its way down into the soil when rains fall upon it. The protection and enrichment brought by the manure will give to it a most vigorous growth in due season. Ma nure thus applied is very profitably applied. It is somewhat surprising that it is so seldom used thus.—From Farming for March. Thoughts From Dumas. To make friends with a man requires tune; with a woman, only occasion. Experience and philosophy that do not result in forbearance and charity are two acquisitions that are not worth their cost. A well-bred woman does not fall in love a second time without allow- ing a considerable interval to elapse. There are never two accidents in close succession on the same railroad. It is with science and philosophy in their search after truth as with railway trains passing through a tunnel in broad daylight—darkness in the middle, but day is at both ends. Whichever side we go out, it is in the same light in which we entered. The same God: is at the beginning of faith and -It the end of science. A woman has no pewee to efface radically by the sole effort of the will an image that has long filled the mind. She must replace it by another. She does not destroy, she superposes. When the second image is finer or larger than the first, so that the first is seen no more, all goes well; this is forgetfulness. When it is smaller; so that the edges of the other can be seen, things go badly ; that is remorse. The sun does not shine for a four trees and flowers, but for the wide world's joys.----Siinlns.

It is true that there are many seasons in which there is no "squaw winter" following on the • heels of an "early spring," and in such cases the benefit of packing . is very slight. In fact I believe it is possible to pack the bees in the spring that, with ordinary weather, the packing will do no good-- . possibly harm. Last spring the Hon. R. S. Taylor, who has charge of the Mihigan State Experiment Apiary, packed a large number of colonies after date.—Colton. Good taste is the flower of good sense,—Poincelot.

He took great pains to ex- amine all the colonies in the apiary with reference to the quantity of brood at the time of packing. When the bees were unpacked there i was another critical examination, and no advantages were found to accrue from the packing. There were, I think, two reasons for this. •It was a warm, even spring, and the packing was to thick. It may surprise some to be told that the packing may be to thick, but such is a fact—it robs the bees from the warmth of the sun's rays. Not so a weak one. What is needed is packing of such a thickness that after the sun has shown upon it several hours, the warmth will reach the bees. .After this packing has become thoroughly warmed by the sun shining upon it all day, it will retain this warmth well into the night, perhaps all night. In short packing becomes a sort of ealorie balance -wheel. Two inches of dry sawdast is sufficient for spring packing. There is also another point to be observed, viz., the color of the packing -boxes. Dark cores absorb the sun's rays; light ones relict them. A dark Venetian red is a good color for pack- ing -boxes. That spring protection is often of some advantage, and never 4t dam- age if rightly applied, I have fre- quently seen abundant proof. In the case mentioned above, where I saw snow and blossoms hanging upon the same branch, I lost half of my bees in the apiary. Perhaps one-fourth of my eolonies were pack- ed in, sawdust, and not one of these seemed to suffer in the least. It was a pleasure to lift up one corner of the chaff cushions over the packed colonies and see the bees crawling about as lively as ever, spread out all over the combs, while the unpro- tected colonies were compelled to cluster closely, leaving their brood (outside the cluster) to freeze. Weak colonies unprotected perished out- right. ut- right. Packing -boxes can be made very When Baby was sick, we gave her Castorla. When she was a Child, sho cried for Castorla.
