WHEN LIVE STOCK DIES
Farmers who arc unfortunate and
lose a cov/ or horse either by
larkspur poison or a broken neck
or leg, should immediately cut
its throat, open up the body to
l..t the fast forming gases eocape
and then notify the General Office
or Kr .Hoffman in charge of live
stock.
If a cow has accidently broken
her neck or leg and is found at
once, the meat is good and can
be eaten, otherwise arrangements
can bo made to sell the meat-for
fox feed. In this way the animal
is not a total loss and the money
received for fox feed will make
the initial payment•on another
animal. Do not wait or let the
incident go too long.
