COOK ON GLANDERS. Report of tftio Vel«riii(»r}' Surgeon Seat to Kr.w<.»tigitt« Tills Uie.’Hso. Dublin, Ga,, April 4. Hon. R. T. Nesbitt, Commissioner of Agriculture: Dear Sir—A t your request I visited the plantation of ?Ir. Rosa Stinson, two miles west of Dublin, Lauren coun ty, to investigate a disease among his mules, supposed to bo glanders. A good deal of interest was manifested in the aaso by the citizens of Dublin from the wellkuowu fatal nature of glanders. I found one grey mule suffering from glanders in the chronic form. The common and characteristic symptoms of tills form of the disease were too well defined to leave the slightest pos sibility cf doubt. The discharge was from both nostrils of a white gluey na ture, in earlier stages having been streaked with blood. The ulcerated patches on the mucous membrane in each nostril had eaten clear through the septum nasi, the characteristic swell ings of the submasillary glands were about the size of a lien’s egg. These glands are situated in the space under the lower jaw, where the abcess of dis temper (strangles) comes, but unlike strangles, these never break and run, and they are larger at times than oth ers, and again get very small, but never disappear. The animal seldom, if ever, coughs, as in distemper, but snorts or sneezes a good deal, and in that way throws out a good deal of the accumulated virus. Mr. Stinson’s other stock, some five or six, have been exposed to it. though at present showing no signs of the dis ease. The mule was purchased by Mr. Stinson about the fifteenth of January pa-t and had a discharge from the nose, then which was supposed to be a ship ping cold. This is a form of disease most to be feared because there is no urgent symptoms. The true nature of the disease may be ove*iow*kod by the ordinary observer. There is only one safe thing to do, that is, to at once kill and bury the affected animals deep, burn up all the feedboxes aud watertroughs and all other places where the animal could possibly leave the germ of this disease, disinfect thoroughly with one quart carbolic acid (crude form) to each buck et of whitewash in all the stalls and lots. This I ordered done in Laurens county Respectfully, J. N. Cook, Veterinary Surgeon. ‘ ‘ROTATION. “This is based on what would be called a three years’ course, but has been occasionally modified according to the exigencies which arise in the course of extensive field experimentation. The main features of the system are chiefly applicable to the four leading crops on the average Georgia farm—small graiu, cowpeas, cotton and corn; but the prin ciple is also applicable to the smaller crops, or those occupying relatively smaller areas. The three years’ course in these main crops implies a division of the larger part of a farm into three ap proximately equal parts. I will suppose that the system is to be applied to ail ordinary private farm, and a beginning to be made, say, Sept. 1. “First Year.—One-third of the land should be sown in small grain, mainly oats, devoting corn land to this. The small grain should be liberally fertil ized with a highly ammoniated fertil izer. On the station no better variety of oats has been found than the Appier oat, a strain of the Texas rustproof; but the latter is nearly as good. The only objection to the Appier (as well as the Texas) is the fact that it is not dis tinctively a winter oat; it is liable to be killed by very severe freezes, The winter turf is more hardy in this re spect, but not so proof against rust. “The oats should bp followed imme diately by cowpeas, sown either in 3 to 4 feet d> ills or broadcast. Our ex periments indicate that, planted in the drill and plowed once or twice, cow peas will v Kid more peas, as well as more hay. Ilut many prefer sowing broadcast, because (J) it involves loss labor, but more seed, and <2) the crab aud other native grasses that spring up and mature with tho peas make it easier to cure the hay. If broadcast, four to five pocks are sufficient to seed an acre. The crop should receive a dose of about 200 pounds of acid phos phate and 100 pounds of iPainit per acre. Our experiments indicate that it Is decidcdlv best to convert the pen vines into hay, mowing them when in lull bloom and when tkoro are a few grown pods. “The stubble may remain and alight second growth will bo secured before frost. Jnst before or soon after a kill ing frost the pea stubbie is turned un der with a 2-horse plow. If convenient to pasture, cattle and hogs may be turned on successive portions of the pea fields, instead of converting the vines into hay; or a portion of the peas may be picked. “Second Year.—The same division should be liberally fertilized and plant ed in cotton, using the very best seed obtainable. In the fall of the year, say in September, it is suggested to sow the cotton fields in rye. say one half bushel, or less, per acre, or in crimson clover. This is especially ro commended oil land that is liable to wash and leach during the winter; but the principal aim is to supply a grow ing cron that will appropriate and hold the soluble plant food left in the soil, or that will become soluble during the winter. “Third Year.—The land previously in cotton is the place for the corn crop. During the latter part of January and by Fob 29, the ground should be thor oughly brok. n, flash, w.ta a 2-horse plow. On the station it has not been found expedient or profitable to fertil ize the corn crop very lig ltly; but it should rather follow a highly fertilized cotton crop. Cowpeas should be plant ed in the middles between the corn rows—if wider than five feet; or sown corn should be followed by small graiu and cowpeas—commencing again. “The above is a general outline of the system which is recommended for general adoption throughout the cotton belt. Of course it may be modified ac cording to circumstances, For in stance, in some sections tobacco may take tne place—in part or in whole—qf cotton; in the mountain region the oats may be, found to succeed better if sown in the spring, etc. the “I have folio we 1 up only one of three suppoied divisions of the farm in the above outline; of course the other two will rotate in the same order, so that each year one-third shall be in small grain and peas, one-third in cot ton and one third in corn. These three principal divisions cover the main yior tioii of the farm in cultivation. There mar bo another division equal in ex tent, devoted to permanent pasture. The minor crops of the farm, including sweet potatoes, truck patches, forage for soil feeding, orchards, etc,, may have a rotation among themselves, and together may cover an area nearly equal to one of the main crop-'., so that in practical operation a farm of 100 acres of ‘open land’ may be divided some what as follows: Small graiu and peas, 20 acres; cotton. 20 acres; corn and peas, 29 acres; permanent pasture, 20 acres; orchards, vineyards, truck and garden, I ora go crops, peanuts. 20 ckufas, potatoes, melons, etc., a ..res. ANOTHER REPORT. Dr. Cook, «he Vurtinary Snrgeon, Inr.nti gutoit supposait Blunder-* Near Milford Buford, Ga., April 4 Hon. R. T. Nesbitt, Commissioner of Agriculture: Dear SIR—At your request, I visitod the farm of John M. Johnson, four miles west of Buford, to investigate a disease affecting a young horse, suppos ed to be glanders. From a carolul ex amination 1 could find no symptoms of glanders, but a severe case of colt strangles commonly called distemper This case v/as made worse by improper treatment. This disease is character ized by sore throat, high pulse, rapid loss of flash, heavy breathing, profits discharge of thick mucous from both nostrils and swelling of submaxillar}’ glands. Tne case described above can bo easily restored to health by proper treatment, which we des ribed. A good deal of uneasiness was aroused in the neighborhoo I of Mr. Johnson iroiu tho .ear of tne case being glauders. J am glad to sav it . has . all .. qnieted . down. , Respectfully, J. N. Cook.
