an indisposed mule.
M. A. P.. writes: I have a mule that'
haa not been well for sometime. She
does not seem to Improve any since I
stopped working her. The glands be* j
hind both jaws seem to be swollen, and
bleeding water runs from her nostrils.
Can you tell me what the trouble is and
what to do for her?
We would suggest that you give your
mule a pound and a half of Glauber
salts as a drench In warm water. Feed
Saringly for two or three days, giving
hn mashes and other easily-digested
and assimilated food. Then, we would
suggest that you give a tonic or condi
tion powder. The following formula
will answer very well: 3 ounces of sul
phate of iron, 1 ounce of pulverised nut
vomica seed. 2 ounces of pulverised gin
ger root. 2 ounces of nitrate of potash.
Mir these ingredients together and give
a teaspoon fn l in the feed three times
daily.
For the swelling of the joints bathe
persistently with hot fomentations, and
apply iodine ointment or tincture of
iodine, or a good stimulating liniment
which should be well rubbed tn.
MAKING OAT HAT.
G. P-. Glennville. Ga_. writes: I would
Hks to have your advice on the making
of oat hay. Is there a good market for
oat hay? How shall the land be prepared
and fertilized? Does cutting the oats for
hay injure the land worse than cutting
them when ripe? <
Tbe writer has never known of a lo
cality where oat hay did not command
a very good price, and as we do not
devote large areas of land in Georgia
to the cultivation of the grasses usually
grown for hay-<naking purposes. It
seems to me that you would have no
difficulty in selling a good quality of hay
advantageously. Tbe land Intended for
oats should be prepared by plowing and
cultivating thoroughly. A fine tilth Is of
first importance. We would prefer to
-seed the oats by what is known as the
open furrow method. The fertilizer may
be applied beneath the drill row or broad
casted. On sandy land we would use
a fertilizer containing a fair amount of
potash and a liberal supply of phosphoric
add. The amount of nitrogen need not
exceed 2or 3 per cent. It is very good
practice in many instances to use nitrate
of soda as a top dressing on the oat crop
tn the spring of the year. A mixture
suitable for oats may be prepared as fol
lows: MO pounds of high-grade add phos
phate. 900 pounds of cotton seed meal and
300 pounds of muriate of potash. This
will give you a fertilizer containing ap- ]
proximately 3 per cent of nitrogen, B.l|
per cent of phosphoric acid and 5.9 per
cent of potash. Cutting the oats when in
good condition to make hay; that is.
when coming out of the dough stage,
does not injure the land any more than
to allow them to ripen.
TROUBLES OF THE EYE.
R. O. W.. Mclntyre. Ga.. writes: I have
a fine mule that has some trouble with
her eyes. The trouble seems to be in the
inside skin between the under lid and
eyeball. I bathe it In warm water, and it
seems to help it for awhile. His eyes are
aonaiderably inflamed. His blood seems to
be out of order. I have been giving him
sulphur, but it doesn't seem to relieve his
tyes. Will feeding on green corn or any
kind of green stuff affect the eyes?
Tou should make certain that there is
nothing in your mule's eye. as the trou
ble may be due to some substance which
baa found entrance to the eye and has not
been discharged, thus resulting in inflam
mation. Os course, the trouble may be due
to ophthalmia. The symptoms described
would indicate that this were the case.
The best treatment for this trouble is to
•xamlne the eye carefully, and be sure
that any foreign bodies which may have
caused the trouble are first removed. This
may semetimes be done by Iplng the sur
face of the eyeball with a soft silk hand
kerchief. The eye ahould then be bathed
with hot water at least three times dally
for 30 minutes. Then apply a few drops
of a solution of boric acid twice daily,
using a medicine dropper which you can
obtain at any drug store. The solution of
boric acid should be made up in the
proportion of one dram to three ounces
of water.
There is no reason why green feed tn
good condition should cause any trouble
of the eye. If the treatment suggested
does not remedy the defect we would sug
gest that you consult a veterinarian, as
the trouble may be due to some other
cause or may be hereditary. In that case
it will be difficult to effect a cure. Feed
ing animals on corn exclusively is thought
by some veterinarians to effect the eyes
unfavorably.
Sometimes disorders of the blood in
horses may be corrected by the use of
Epeom salts or other simple purgative.
Suppose you try giving a pound to a
pound and a half of Epsom salts dis
solved tn water. Be careful to see that
the drench Is administered so as not to
allow any of the medicine to enter the
lungs Give every other day for three
times and then repeat again In a wfeek.

it has a very red stiff subsoil. I wish
to plant this land in wheat and manure
with 18 per cent acid, kainit and haw cot
tonseed, ami I would like to know in
what proportion to mix the three, and
how much to use per «cre. How about
the same mixture tor oats on sandy soil?
I expect to top dress with about 75 pounds
of nitrate of soda next spring.
An excellent fertilizer for wheat can
be prepared by using high grade acid
phosphate, kainit and cottonseed meal.
Ordinarily we prefer to use the muriate
of potash, because it is a more concen
trated form of plant food, and while
costing more per ton, in our experience
it has always supplied a pound of avail
able plant food at a lower coat than kai
nit There w no reason why a suitable
fertilizer for wheat should not answer
very well for oats. Oats probably need
a fertilizer containing a little more nitro
gen than wheat, but since you propose to
use nitrate of soda in the spring, this dif
ference in the food requirements of the
two crops can be obviated by using a lit
tle heavier application of nitrate. We
would suggest that for your oats you use
150 pounds per acre as a top dressing in
the spring, and for wheat say 100 pounds.
A fertiliser suitable for sandy land should
contain a fair amount of potash and som
paratlvely speaking, there would be so
little difference in the food requirements
of the soil types described in your let
ter that the same fertilizer would answer
very well for both.
I always feel it important to empha
size the necessity of having vegetable
matter tn the soil. This is of quite as
much importance as the use of fertilizer.
I feel that many of our farmers would
get much better results from the use of
fertiliser if they grew peas and other
cover crops more freely and increase the
vegetable matter. In the soil.
A very good fertilizer for wheat may be
prepared as follows: Mix together 1,000
pounds of high-grade acid phosphate.
180 pounds of muriate of potash and 700
pounds of high-grade cottonseed meal,
that is. containing 7 per cent of nitro
gen; not 7 per cent of ammonia. This
would make a total weight of 1,880 pounds
and you would have to add 140 pounds of
rich compost to bring the total weight up
to 2.000 pounds. This fertilizer would con
tain approximately 2.4 per cent of nitro
gen. 8.7 per cant of phosphoric acid and
4.6 per cent of potash. It should be used
at the rate of about 300 pounds per acre.
As kainit contains only 12 per cent of
available potash. you will see that it
would take about 700 pounds to supply the
same amount of available potash securea
in 160 pounds of muriate of potash. It la
for thia reason ths« we suggest that you
use the muriate.
T. R. 1.. Cornelia, Ga„ writes: I have
a mule about 10 years old. and there Is
something the matter with her feet. She
walks on hard ground like she was ten
der-footed. although she has shoes on.
Her usual feed is corn and fodder. I
would like to know what to do for her.
There are nfany diseases of the foot
and without a careful examination it is
always difficult to locate the trouble. Tou
should examine the foot very carefully
and be certain that there are no wounds,
or that the trouble is not due to thrush,
which is the result of an Inflammation
of the homy frog extending Into the
sensitive frog, the disease being indicat
ed by the discharge of a small amount
of bad smelling pus from the cleft of
the frog. We are inclined to think the
trouble is due to horns, which result
from bruises of the sole. As a rule, they
occur on the inside half of the sole of
the front feet. They may result from
various causes, but usually from stepping
on stones and other hard substances.
Horses having flat foot are more subject
to this trouble than others. As a rule,
there is severe lameness and the mule
tries to step on the outer side of the
foot, the trouble being most marked
when driven on hard roads. Tapping the
foot with a hammer will cause pain, and
if the foot is examined a dark brown spot
win be seen where the corn is located.
The dark spot Indicates, as a rule, a
collection of blood and pus which should
be removed. After the fluid has escaped,
wash out well with turpentine. Remove
the shoe and keep the animal In a clean
stable. When the discharge ceases a little
pine tar may be applied to the opening
to keep out the dirt. Do not burn with
caustics unless "proud flesh” forms. A
broad web bar shoe put on with leather
between the sole and the shoe will afford
relief.
J. M. T.. Andrews, 8. C., writes: Can I

While It might be possible to continue
the growth of corn on the same piece of
land for a period of years by the use
of large quanttiies of farmyard manure
and commercial fertilizers and growing
cowpeas between the corn rows, the prac
tice is not a desirable one. as there is a
tendency to introduce and spread disease
of one kind and another and the grow
ing of one crop' on the soil, particularly
an exhaustive one like corn, tends to ex
haust it. Larger crops of corn would
as a rule be obtained on land where a
rotation is followed, and larger yields of
other crops as well will be secured. For
these reasons we do not deem it advis

them without a nurse crop, as the nurse I
crop at harvest time makes a heavy ]
draft on soil fertility and also exhausts
the water very rapidly and leaves the I
young grass without an adequate supply
of food or moisture, thus causing much
of it to die out. The advisability of pas
turing a meadow the first year from seed
ing will depend largely on the weather
conditions and the richness of the soil.
Where the grass has made a strong and
vigorous growth and formed a good sod,
therd is no objection to a moderate
amount of pasturing when the land is
dry. We would not pasture excessively,
however, the first year as the grass should
be given a chance to establish itself firm
ly before being subjected to pasturage
and the continued tramping which it nat
urally entails.
TREATMENT OF OPTHALMIA.
E. F.. Platt. Ga.. writes: I have a fine
horse that got a straw stuck in his eye,
but it soon got well leaving a tiny white
speck but at times the sight of his eye
turns white, and he seems to be perfectly
blind. Please tell me what to do for it.
If you are certain that the straw was
removed from the eye of your horse and a
complet recovery made, the trouble which
you describe may be due to either simple
or periodic opthalmla. Probably the best
treatment you can give under the circum
stances would be to bathe the eye with
hot water three times dally for at least
30 minutes and apply a few drons of a
solution of boric acid prepared in the pro
portion of one dram to three ounces of
water. The solution should be put in the
eye with a dropper twice daily. If the
trouble Is due to moon blindness or pe
riodic opthalmla, it will be difficult if
not impossible to effect a cure, and par
ticularly as the disease tends to be he
reditary.
HOW TO TREAT A COUGH.
W. B. H., Milner. Ga.. writes: I have a
mule that has a very bad cough and dis
charges through nostrils. I have tried
several remedies, but none have done any
good. She ha* not been well for eight
months, ,
Your mule is evidently suffering from
what is known as moist cough, ■which is
generally characterized by the expulsion
of a conslerable amount of mucus through
the air passages. The cough has been of
such long standing that its treatment will
probably be difficult, and as its origin
may be due to one of several things, it
is hard to suggest a satisfactory remedy.
You should examine the animal very
carefully and see if you can find any ir
ritating cause, and if so. remove the
same. See that the feed used is fresh,
clean and dry and free from dust, and
protect the animal from draughts and
colds. Animals becoming overheated may
take a little cold from time to time, and
so develop a sort of catarrhal ’condition,
or the air passages may become perma
nently affected. We would suggest that
you try the following cough mixture:
Fluid extract of belladonna. 1-2 ounce;
pulverized opium, 1-2 ounce; pulverized
gum camphor, 2 drams; chloride of am
monia. 1-2 ounce. These materials should
be mixed with molasses and a sufficient
amount of flour to make eight ounces of
paste. Make a small wooden paddle and
daub about ps rriuch as a teaspoonfui will
hold on the back teeth three times daily.
LUMPY JAW.
W. E. R., Calhoun, Ga., writes: I
would like a remedy for lumpy jaw in
| cattle. The lump is about the size of a
I man's fist and has been there about six
J weeks.
Lumpy jaw or actinomycosis is a dis
ease resulting from the activity of a
vegetable organism which gains admission
to the tissues and produces a tumor or
lump as a result of its development. This
lump usually appears in the region of the
head or neck. The first indication of the
trouble is a slight swelling, usually on
the face or lower jaw. As a rule, the
trouble is due to the bulging outward of
the bone, the fungus which causes the
. disease having obtained entrance to the
I bone by working its "way along the roots
I of the teeth. As the disease develops
' the tumor enlarges and finally breaks
' discharging a pus which Is sticky in
I character. As a rule, it does not dimin
: ish in size. Sometimes it heals tempo
! rarily, but develops and breaks again.
I Sometimes the teeth become ulcerated
I and the animal is unable to chew its
' food. This trouble is seldom seen in
calves. If the tumor is free from the
i bone the best treatment is to cut it out
with a knife and treat as a simple wound
' with disinfectants until it heals up. Some
. times it can be cured by giving iodide of
! potash Internally in doses of one to three
; drams once daily dissolved in a half pint
of water. In a week or so what is known
as “iodism" seta up as indicated by the
! discharge of the nose and eyes and the
rough condition of the skin. When this
stage in the treatment develops the medi
‘ cine should be stopped. In most cases
I the tumor disappears and the animal
makes a good recovery. If one treatment
is not sufficient it should be repeated in
two weeks. Any animal affected with
lumpy jaw should be isolated and not al
lowed to scatter the pus over feed pens
or on the ground, as the organism grows
in material outside the body of the ani
mal and may be taken in as food and pro
duce the disease in what otherwise be
healthy animals.
STORY TELLB~POLIOe”
ABOUT MISSING METAL
L. B. Story, a junk dealer, who. with
his brother and three negroes were ar
rested Tuesday afternoon on suspicion
of complicity in the thefa of several thou
sand pounds of type metal from a tempo
rarily idle print shop, has had the hear
ing of the case before Recorder Broyles
postponed until Thursday afternoon ano
makes a statement of his side of the
matter that sheds a ray.
“One of the negroes arrested is named
Alford Hugley,” stid he. "1 know him
very well, as he formerly worked for
me. Last week, though, we laid oft sev
eral hands, and he was one of them. But
as he had been in my employ several
years and I considered him a most trust
worthy negro, I wanted to give him a
chance to make g little money while he
was idle. So I advised him to go around
to all the buildings in course of construc
tion, buy all the old iron and other junk
he could find, bring it to me, and r would
give him a commission on It. It wasn't
long before he came and toid me that a
certain printing company had about 1,300
pounds of type metal and other junk to
seil, and I gave him a price on it. In
a litttle while he came back and told me
that the price would be accepted. So 1
bought about 1,300 pounds, thinking that
he acted as agent of the printing com
pany."
After the usual custom a report was
n.ade of that particular purchase, to the.
detective department, as all junk dealers
are required to do, and it was through
the repqrt that the metal was traced to
negroes.
Story declares that his brother had
nothing whatsoever to do with the trans
action, and is confident that ho will be
able to establish his own innocenca of
complicity in the theft.

GREAT CROWD GATHERED
FOR JUBILANT AUCTION
OF MOONSHINE WHISKY
Crowds at th* custom hous* Tuesday morning when whisky wa* being sold at
auction Six kegs of mountain dew went to the highest bidder.
Six kegs resembling in else and savor
those from which Rip Van Winkle once
drank to his sorrow far up in the Catskill
mountains, were trundled out in front of
the custom house early Tuesday morning,
and for three hours or more drew such
a crowd as seldom gathers upon that
quiet corner.
They were kegs of moonshine liquor.
They had been seized in various nooks
and byways of north Georgia by revenue
raiders. They were to be auctioned oft in
Atlanta to the highest bidder. Scattered
among the rusty kegs were coils of cop
per, a still which had been detected and
smashed to pieces. Nearby, too, were
three or four jolly looking old jugs. They
swashed internally when E. L. Bergstrom,
who was conducting the auction, moved
them about.
It was a startling scene, for, here was
sure enough corn whisky being sold in
the capital of a prohibition state. Several
wistful-eyed policemen paced back and
forth on the corner below. But their pres
ence booted nothing, for the auction was
proceeding on a federal reservation. The
liquor had to be sold; otherwise, if allow
ed to accumulate month after month, it
would positively deluge the basement of
the custom house, where it is stored on
being captured.'

Perilous Flight, Landing in a
Troe —One of Swiss Pilots Cov

ZURICH, Oct. 6.—The International bal
loon race for the Gordon Bennett cup haa
been won by Edgar W. Mix. the Ameri
can aeronaut, of Columbus, Ohio, who ,
will take the cup back to the United (
States.
Mr. Mix landed north of Warsaw, in
Poland Russia, at 3 o’clock Tuesday morn
ing. He won with plenty of time to spare
from Alfred Le Blanc, the French pilot,
his companion in the St. Louis race o(
ISO7, who came down at Kubin, Hungary,
Monday afternoon.
The first news of Mr. Mix’s landing
was conveyed in a personal dispatch to
the Associated Press, dated Ostrolenka.
The aeronaut said:
LANDED IN A TREE.
“I landed in the midst of a large pine
tree in the forest of Gutova, west of Os
trolenka. I encountered a heavy rain. My
ballast was exhausted when I came down.
At present I am in the hands of the po
lllce, but all 1* going well."
It is impossible to explain why Mr. Mix
should have been molested by the Rus
sian police, as, in anticipation of a land
ing in Russia, each of the pilots was
provided at Zurich, before starting, w-ith
a special Russian passport guaranteed by
the Russian minister to Switzerland, to
protect them against annoyance.
The American embassy at St. Peters
burg had been advised of Mr. Mix’s pre
diement. and asked to take the matter
up at once with the Russian authorities.
The distance from Zurich to the point
where Mix landed has been given as 1,100
kilometers, or 683.1 miles.
He made his journey through fog and
blinding rainstorms w’hich compelled all
tfie other pilots to descend.
After crossing the Swiss and the Aus
trian Alps Captain Messner, one of the
Swiss pilots, reported that hl* clothes
were covered with ice to a thickness of
half an inch. Messner reached alti
tude of 18,000 feet.

carried more to the southward. Le Blanc,
one of the French pilots, reached the
farthermost point. He descended in the
foothills of the Carpathian mountains, be
ing forced to abandon his balloon owing
to an accident upon landing. Le Blanc
covered a distance estimated at 1,015 kil
ometer* (493.69 miles). The others cov
ered lesser distances.
Erbsloh covered 1.403 kilometers (871.28)
miles), made from St. Louis in 1907, which
is the longest flight made in an interna
