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. FERTILIZERS FOR WHEAT. J. G. G. Writes: I have a field that will ordinarily make about one-half bale of cotton to the acre. A portion of the field is a clay soil, while the balance of the field is a sandy gray soil.

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 improve land and run It tn com every year by putting stable manure In the hill end sowing Clay peas when I lay by the corn? I want to sow some orchard and Timothy grass tn this month for pas ture. and sow rye with it. Can I pasture It next summer and not kill out the grass? 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 ■able to attempt to grow corn year after | year on the same area. The poa* grown THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GEORGIA. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1903.

L. P. SMITH, Traveling Passenger Agent. Terminal Hotel Building, Birmingham, Alsu in between the corn rows will only gath er a small part of the nitrogen removed by the crop, and heavy applications of phosphates and potash, and at least 15 or 20 tons of farmyard manure annually will be necessary to maintain the yield on a profitable basis. Orchard and Timothy grass make a good combination In some sections of the south where the land is not too sandy and is moist. The higher the elevation above the sea level the better results are ely to be ''b**’*rrrt —t«b Wht e gra ses may be sown with rye, as a rule we deem it auvuabK ui , 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.

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.' Mr. Bergstrom knocked out a bung and Into the crisp October air floated an aro ma strange and wonderful, and in these latter days almost unknown to Atlanta nostrils. “Ah!” murmured a stout gentleman, with a nose that once was ruddy. He snff ed the atmosphere and smiled reminis cently. Then he swallowed rapidly four or five times, cleared his throat with a hefty rattle and wandered on down the street, a faraway, pensiveness softening his eye. Amog the 300 or 400 bystanders were negroes with water pitchers and eager looking citizens, carrying flasks, buckets, tin palls and everything imaginable that GORDON BENNETT , CUP WON Os MIX Balloonist Covers 683 Miles in a Perilous Flight, Landing in a Troe —One of Swiss Pilots Cov ered With Ice. 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. Os the division of balloons which were 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 tional balloon race, although behind Count de la Vaulx’s record trip to south ern Russia.
