GREASE HEEL.
A Cnr For Till* Oincane Given by the
Commissioner of Ajp^icn'iture.
Question G. I have n 4-year-old
ma.ro, which is Koftoring with what I
am told is greaso heel. Her forelegs, j
from her knees to her hoofs, arc swol
len and hard,‘and her ankles are swol-!
leu. Above ami betxvo- :i the ai.ilu
It is cracked. I have war.hcd her legs ;
every morning with wr.ria . -dt water
ant wiped dry. I l;avi tried blue
vitriol, entpbur and lard, and. vamna
Uni men fa. but the gets no be. Can .
you toll me what to do?
A.n.w/cb s.—Keep the animal In a
clean, dry stall. Avoid w?tting the
sores or cracks, thoreforo do not wash
them with water. Pour or five times
daily apply lib rally to the sores a lini
lacnt composed of one* part of liquid
■ rubacetate of lead to three parts of ol
ive oil. Prcr,severe in this treatment
and I have no doubt you will cure the
animal, unless the sores or cracks
deeper than your description would in
dicate. In that ca.se yon will need the I
services of a veterinary surgeon. After j
the sores have been heals 1, bandaging
and proper exercises will reduoe the
swelling.—State Agricultural Depart
ment.
Oats Row.. Xu Maroh.
Question 15.—Will oats succeed if
sown In March? If so, how shall I pre
pare for them and what fertilizer snail
i u.so ? Also uilvUn mo how deep to
cover the seed and whether this iihouid
bo done with the harrow or ordinary
plow? What variety of seed is best?
Answer 15.—The successful sowing
of oats this late in the season, depends
on the latitude, the fertility of the
land and the amount and kind of
fertilizer used. In the northern part
of the state it may be tried with a ma
jority of chances in favor of its proba
ble success, in the more southern po
tions we would not advise the experi
ment. All spring sown eats must run
the risk of injury from two enemies,
dx-outh and rust. To fortify against tho
first, prepare deeply and thoroughly, and !
to escape injury from the second supply
plenty of plant food, that the crop may f
develop rapidly and mature before their ;
can bo any serious damage. It should t
be kept in mind that the late sowing
has only half us much time as the fall
crop lu which to attain Its growth and
perfect seed. Conditions for rapid de
velopment should therefore bo made as
favorable as possible. For this purpose
the “Kiuty Day, or Burt Oat,” has su
perior advantage) on account of its
quick maturity and comparative free
dom from rust. The seeding should bo
heavy. If the land baa been well pre
pared, harrow them in and then harrow
In the fertilizer, which should bo rich
In nitrogen. Any complete fertilizer
will answer, however, and the extra ni
trogen can bo supplied later by a top
dressiug of nitrate of soda. Cottonseed, i
which is considered such n splendid for- ]
tillzor for fall oats, is not so valuable
for spring sowing because the need is
for something more quickly available.
Cottonseed meal la bettor. Use this
with phosphoric acid and potash iu
about the following projections: Mail
ate of potash, 1 part; phosphoric acid,
4 parts, and cott unwed meal, (I parts.
Mix thoroughly and apply to each aero
im much ns you can afford. \Vnen the
plants are well up and begin to eh w
gx-eexi all over the field apply from 60 to
100 pounds ultra i". of soda, never more
than the latter quantity, as a top dr-: ing
being careful to put it on v'-eu the
leaves are dry or it will se arch thorn.
A good time is just before a rain or
after a rain, when the ground is still
dump, but the plants dry.—State Agri
cultural Department.

Question 21. —I am thinking of plant
ing some castor beaus iu tho neighbor
hood of Rome. I am told that if I
raise them there will bo u buyer bore to
purchase them. Will they grow in this
section, and how should 1 plunt and
prepare them for market ?
Answer 21.—1 see no good reason
why the castor bean should not bo
growu successfully in vonr soetion. The
chief objection \\*mtd bo the want
of a market, and if you have that
assured, there should bo, I think, soma
profit in the business. The castor bean
requires a good loamy soil, deeply
and thoroughly prepared, and should
be planted in rows 4> e to 5 feet wide,
mid 4to 4' a feet apart in the rows. It
is best to plant three or four seed to the
hill, to insure a stand, as the cut worms
are some times troublesome. Ass- n
as the plants are well started, take out
all but one to the hill. Cultivate as you j
would corn, keeping down all grass and
weeds. The large variety grow in the
West Indies, is the best seed, and prof- |
erub'.o to the small lightcolore.l beans
grown in some parts of the west. The j
seeds will begin to ripen in August, and
continue to do so until frost kills
the plants. When tho pods on tho
spike, begin to crook, they should be
cut and spread in the sun to dry in
the place previously prepared. Thu
should be either a spot of hard, clean
ground, or a scaffold. They should
be spread thinly in order to dry
well. There will be several gath-
erings of the crop, ns the p >ds mature,
and ripen. In sunny weather, two to
three days will tin- the pods sufficiently
for the leaves to ill out. When all
the beans are out t 1 the pods, the latt e
are raked off and he leaves gathered
and clear dby i, : -ruing mill, or seed
cleaner. They are then spread in a cool,
dry place to become thoroughly dry. It,
is best to a them occasionally during
the drying process. The yield should
be from 2o to 40 bushels per acre.—

COTTONSEED FOR PIGS.
A Series of Kxp'rirant* Hliow That It Wilt
J’rodu?* Hickness and Death
Question 4. —If I cooked cottonseed
meal, or the whole seed, would it not
then be good food for pigs ?
A nsweb 4. —In Bulletin 21 of the
Texas Exporime it Station, there is re
port and the results of a series of r-xpori
m-nts iu feeding pigs with cottonseed,
sad thr ou.ndasi. n reached, is. that no
matte.- how prepared, whether boiled
cr roasted, cottonseed fed to pigs will
produce sickness and death. The boiled
seed was a little loss injurious than the
roasts 1, the lattor being almost as fatal
as tho raw meal. The cottonseed was
not fed alone, but formed only a part of
tho ru tiou. In from six to eight weeks
the first symptoms of sickness appeared,
tho animals became dull and moping,
and lost appetite. In 12 to 3fi hours
, they became restless, staggering in their
gnu. breathing labored, sight defective
•kin showing reddish iutiamation. The
fatal cases all showed “thumps”—spas-
modic breathing. Finally the animals
dropped down suddenly—sometimes on
their bellin, sometimes upon their
haunches with forelegs well apart to
keep fr m fulling over—almost always
with evidences of acute iuternal pain.
At death a quantity of bloody foam
comes from mouth and n >striU. These
pigs were fed by tho side of pigs that
had corn instead of c itt-ur* id. and tho
pigs fed on com remained perfectly
healthy. State Agricultural Depart

Question 7.—1 would like to know
the fertilizing elements in uuleivhed
wood nsh( ~ nuleacb and hickory ashes,
cottonseed meal aid acid phosphate.
I In burning bones or dead animals, what
| plant food, if any, is lost ?
Answ;a 7—Unleached oak and hick
ory azhei probably vary but little in
composition. They contain, when pure,
from 6to 7 per cent potash, and 1 to 2
per cent phosphoric arid. Cottonseed
meal contains from 5 to 7 per cent ni
trogen, Ito l ! .j per rent phosphoric
acid, and 1 to IQ pier cent of potash,
arid phosphate, from 10 to 18 p'-r cent
phosphoric acid. In burning bones or
dead animals, we lose all the ultr>-
gen which they contain, but we retain
all tin* miueral elements Burning such
materials, therefore, is a wasteful
method for making them available us
fertilizers. The letter plan is t> com
p ot the d-.-.d animals with muck or
stable manure, catting them up if large.
A thick layer of inu-k should bo
placed under and on top of compost
j heap.—State Agricultural Department.

Question 10. -What kinds of straw
beii'ica shall I plant on a light sandy
noil, with clay subsoil? I would prefer
the large varieties. Would sawdust be
a good mulc h?
Akswcu 10.—Sharpies*, Babach and
Triomphe do Grand are all good varie
ties, and will succeed if you will fertil
ize your land heavily with stable
nitre and ashes, and put it iu good o-der
by deep plowing and thorough harrow
ing. Sawdust malew. a good tnuloli, re
g cdod only as a mnlch, but is an alts t-
I lute injury to tho land when you havo
I to plow it under, eo.cn’.ug to render pie
[ laud sour for s use time afterwards.
| Where it can te obtained, piuostraw or
j a y other straw makes a much m >ro de
sirablc mulch, as it soou rots, and when
plowed under adds much to the fertility
of the soil. I would advise yotf not to j
uso the sawdust. —State Agricultural
Department.
Hnrdwood
Question 11.—Are the lime and other
ingredients in hardwood ashes worth
anything ns fertilizers for field crops?
VVhat is the value of a ton of hardwood
ashes ? How many pon-Gs of ashes will
a cord of hardwood make?
Answer 11. —The fertilizing properties
in unleashed hardwood ashes are potash
and phosphoric acid.
The other ingredients have no special
fertilizing properties, but do help the
I crops somewhat, by putting the soil in a
j better mechanical condition, permitting
it to bo worked with mure ease and
! rendering it easier for tho feeding roots
to penetrate in every direction.
A ton of nuleachod hardwood ashes
is worth from $3.00 to $4.00.
You will get from two to three pounds
of ashes to every 100 pounds of wood; I
don't know how much to tho oord.—

tjOESfION 12. —Is it the proper lime to
scrape away tlie. dirt-from tho base of
my pea. h trees, * r the purpose of kitt
ing the borers? When must the dirt bo
put back ?
Answer 13. —This work should have
been done much earlier, say about the
first of November, but better do it now
than leave it undone, as the borers will
certainly do your trees great damage if
let alone. Scrape away tho earth ar -nud
the base of the tree, down to the hori
zontal roots. Then kill all the borers
possible, by cutting out with a sharp
knife where they have not entered too
far into the wood: in that ease run a wire
into the holes end yon will kill most of
them. Fr. "i the middle of February to
the middle of March—according to lo
cality—fill np the hole about the tree
with fresh soil from the woods If easily
j obtained. Filling the hole with ashes,
is also recommended.
In either ease, pile the earth or ashes
ab >nt the stem of the tree, several inch
os higher than the surrounding ground.'
