. The dairyman's manual; a practical treatise on the dairy. Dairying. 462 THE dairyman's MANUAL. an immediate and safe cure is possible, it is useless to waste time in trying questionable remedies. This cure is to perforate the paunch at the point of its greatest distension with an instrument known as a trocar, which is contained in a separate tube called a canula (figure 106). This instrument is plunged into the paunch at a point equidistant from the point of the hip, the last rib and the loin ; being the center of a triangle drawn from these points to each other. The trocar should be pointed downwards to escape the kidneys and the muscles of the loin. It is then drawn out, leaving the canula in the wound. It will help to relieye the animal to pour through the canula into the paunch a quart of a solution of car- bonate of ammonia, or a solution of two ounces of hyposulphite of soda in a i^int of water ; either of which will stop the fermentation and relieve the bloating. Food should be given sparingly for a few days after this until the stomach recovers its tone. As has been observed, ^^ prevention is better than cure," and this accident or mistake is most easily prevented by ordinary caution and care in feeding or pasturing green fodder. CHOKING. When feeding roots or apples, carelessness, so common among hired help, may lead to the accidental stoppage of the gullet by a piece of the food which has been swallowed whole. This is easily prevented by chopping.
