There have been many sheep poisoned of ate in Montana, U.S.A., from eating lark- 1": spur. : Veterinary surgeons have been un v ■>!.:, able to find a cure for the sheep poisoned by this plant. ' ■ ' Jj An entirely new method ,of relieving ;; i cattle that have become " blown" with rank \\>\ fodder is now common, and quite a success T in Victoria.' While in the Goulburn Valley v recently,' a representative 'of a newspaper saw several animals which wero • suffering;, from the effects of gorging with new. grass. - One. of these was taken in hand ;by the owner, who simply poured cold water, on vm the anintal's head till ib recovered. Ib is'Hr claimed that) this plan is just as effective"as the insertion of a lance into the paunch and : : hip! and it is 'preferable,' because there is y no; danger of subsequent collapse. The. U; water should be as cold as possible. The lower r, the temperature tho quicker tha recovery, i This is certainly a simpler mode of cure than dosing with turpentine or soda. .■' ':>• In regard to ; the treatment of cows at calving ■ time, an old farmer writes "I i frequently see inquiries of how, to remove the placenta from cows after .calving. . I always give my: cows l a few messes of boiled flax and bran, warm, in thick slop, . ;* for aboub a week before calving—that is, ; for cows coming in in the winter; in the summer, .when on flush grass, it 's no ■ needed. I have never had any trouble since ~ I adopted that plan. ;• This always brings b off within two or three hours after the calf - drops. VI nearly lost a young cow ,at the, ;; commencement) of my farming when on dry ■ feed in the istable,, nob knowing} ab the time how to treat her." _ A little relaxing food previous to calving is the besb help to a satisfactory delivery. _ You will effect a great saving by purchasine your bedsteads, furniture, floor coverings|§g and ■ furnishing drapery 'at Tonson; GarUck Company's-either at Queen-street or their temporary premises in Elliqtt-street.
