HASNOMORENEED
FOR WALKING CANE
Retired Merchant Kept Going
Down Hill for Six Long
Years He Declares.
GAINS FIFTEEN POUNDS
Nothing Ever Helped Him Until He
Started Taking Tanlac—Declares
His Health Has Been
Restored.
■William Ludwig, a retired merchant
bnd prominent citizen of Port Arthur,
Texas, made the following statement
recently.
“For six years I had suffered from
Indigestion and painful disordered kid
neys and fell off until I was little
more than a skeleton. I had no appe
tite and what little I did eat felt like
a lump of lead in my stomach. I was
so bloated up that I could hardly get
my breath and I couldn’t button my
clothes. My kidneys disturbed me so
I could scarcely sleep at all. I was
so weak I had to walk with a stick
and I couldn’t go up the steps at all.
I had a nervous cough, my limbs ached
and I hurt all over.
“I bought Tanlac because I was a
sick man and now I’m praising it be
cause it has restored my health. I
have gained fifteen pounds in weight,
can eat anything I want and sleep as
well as I ever could. My cough has
disappeared, the gas has stopped
| forming on my stomach and my kid
neys are in good shape. Nothing both
, ers me now and I have no more use
;for my -walking stick. I have taken
many different kinds of medicine and
have been coming to San Antonio
every year for my health, but nothing
seemed to do me much good until I
took Tanlac.” .
There is a Tanlac dealer in your
town.
UNCLE JOE’S TRUE VERSION
Veteran Congressman Retells Green
. Corn Story Which He Declares
Is Thirty Years Old.
"Uncle Joe.” said a new member of
the house of Representative Cannon of
Illinois, “Uheard a good story about
you and green corn.”
“Great guns, man, that story is
thirty years old,” said Mr. Cannon.
“Weil, I am a new congressman and
1 fell for it.”
“If you are going to tell it again,”
went on Mr. Cannon, “let me tell it
:o you right. I have seen more ver
jiWef of it than there are silk threads
n a corn tassel. It’s true, all right.
“It happened at the old Willard ho
;el when it used to be run on the
Emerican plan, with three meals a
ay. I am a light eater, but I am pow
rfully fond of green corn. One day
had a neighbor on from Danville,
rho took dinner with me. I had
hree orders of green corn.
: “ ‘Joe,’ says he to me, ‘how much
ward do you pay at this tavern?’ I
old him. He looked at the stack of
•orncobs, ruminated a moment, and
hen remarked: ‘Don’t you think it
vould be cheaper for you to board at
. livery stable?’ ”
Something Lacking.
For the first time Louis was hearing
he cherry tree-and-hatchet story. It
res very dramatically related by a
latriotlc aunt, but Louis was not so
leeply impressed as he might have

I “There’s a Reason”
GOVERNMENT WARNS OWNERS OF HORSES
Carbon bisulphid, a cheap and
readily obtainable compound, is being
unduly exploited under various names
and at exorbitant prjees as a treatment
for hots and worms in horses, accord
ing to Information which recently has
come to the United States department
of agriculture. This chemical is a rec
ognized remedy for these ailments, but
the department warns farmers against
paying $5 for a quantity, sold under a
fanciful name, that probably could be
bought at any drug store for 25 cents.
Not only is this compound being thus
sold fraudulently, but false claims are
made for it and directions for its use
improperly prescribed. Carbon bisul
phid is poisonous, and if used indis
criminately by inexperienced hands
may do more harm than good, the spe
cialists say. The vapor of this sub
stance is suffocating, and inflammable
when mixed with air, and must be kept
away from all fire. As the method of
administering this compound is not
altogether easy, it is suggested that
the treatment should be given under
the direction of a veterinarian.
Administering Compound.
The usual method of administering
is to give about one fluid ounce divided
into three doses and to supplement it
with a purgative. For yearling colts
half the amount, in similar dosage, is
sufficient. The carbon bisulphid is ad
ministered in sealed capsules in the
stomach. Gelatin capsules sealed with
glue or otherwise prepared by the
druggist so there will be no leakage
CURED ALFALFA HAY
SUPERIOR FOR COWS
Result of Experiment Made at
New Jersey Station to De
termine Feed Value.
In an experiment to determine the
feeding value of cured alfalfa hay as
compared with green alfalfa fed as a
soiling crop for cows producing milk,
and to ascertain the physical effect of
green alfalfa fed as a soiling crop with
silage as compared with alfalfa hay,
two lots of cows were fed by the New
Jersey station by the reversal method
during two periods of 40 days each.
Both lots received in addition silage,
beet pulp, cornmeal, gluten, distillers’
grains, cottonseed meal, and bran. The
total average weight of the cows on
the alfalfa hay ration was practically
the same as of those on the soiling
crop ration, and the production of both
lots remained remarkably constant
during the entire experiment. The av
erage daily milk production was 22.6
pounds per head when alfalfa was fed,
as compared with 23.1 pounds on the
soiling crop ration. On the alfalfa
hay ration'3sß.4 pounds of milk fat
from milk testing 3.27 per cent was
produced, and on the soiling crop ra
tion 364.9 pounds from 3.29 per cent
milk. The cost of feed was $153.90 and
the profit over feed cost $100.91 on the
alfalfa hay ration as compared with a
feed cost of $132.07 and a profit over
feed cost of $125.99 on the soiling crop
ration. For every pound of alfalfa hay
that was fed 1.9 pounds of milk was
produced, while it required 2.68 pounds
of green alfalfa fed In the form of a
soiling crop to produce 1.9 pounds of
milk.
RIGHT FEEDING AND
PROPER SANITATION
Two Important Preventives of
Disease Losses in Farm Ani
mals—Hygienic Factors.
(From the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
Proper feeding and sanitation are
two important preventives of disease
losses in farm animals. If carefully ap
plied these measures may prevent
many Josses of meat animals. Keep
the animals sturdy and disease-resist
ant by feeding a good, wholesome diet.
Young animals need particular care
and should be kept growing. A bal
anced ration should be fed —one that
contains enough digestible protein to
supply the needs of bone and muscle
growth.
The farmer should carefully consid
er the food requirements of his ani
mals, as has been shown by the state
experiment stations, in standard
THE BULLETIN, IRWINTON. GEORGIA.
may be used. So-called four-dram cap
sules will actually hold about three
drams of carbon bisulphid; two-drain
capsules about one and one-half drams.
An instrument known as a balling gun
or balling iron will facilitate the ad
ministration of the capsules. Inhal
ing of carbon-bisulphid fumes by a
horse may have serious consequences,
and it is accordingly important not to
use leaky capsules or crush them dur
ing their administration. The day pre
ceding the treatment the horse is fed
lightly and all food is withheld in the
evening. A purgative of aloes (one-half
to one ounce) or a pint of raw linseed
oil is given. On the day of the treat
ment three drams of carbon bisulphid
in a gelatin capsule or capules are
given to the horse, still fasting, at six
o’clock in the morning, three drams at
seven o’clock, and three drains at
eight o’clock —making in all nine
drams of carbon bisulphid in either
three or six capsules, according to the
size of the capsule used. These doses
are for a mature horse; a yearling colt
may be given half the quantity.
Removing Bots.
When the remedy is used for the re
moval of “nose-fly” bots, which occur
commonly in certain Western states,
it should be given during the fail of
the year, as bots of this species leave
the upper part of the intestinal tract
after this time and establish them
selves in the lower intestine, where
they are but little affected by ordinary
medicinal treatment.
farm-animal books and by the United
States department of agriculture.
Green feeds have a tonic as well as nu
tritive value and should be used wher
ever possible. With some feeds care
must be used in feeding to avoid para
sitical infection and the infection of
such diseases as tuberculosis. Old
pastures and milk used as a feed are
examples of possible sources of disease
to sheep and hogs, respectively. Pure
water is another essential to animal
health. Animals should not have ac
cess to water which may be contami
nated. such as streams passing through
infested farms above, pools drained
from barn lots ,and so on.
Two naturally hygienic factors are
fresh air and sunlight. Pure fresh air
constantly available to an animals re
duces the possibility of lung trouble.
Impure air reduces an animal's resist
ance to disease by failing to supply
the oxygen necessary for the purifica
tion of the blood. Sunlight is a natural
germicide and will keep animal sur
roundings free from disease germs. All
buildings for housing farm animals
should be well ventilated and have
plenty of sunlight reaching to all parts
of the building at some time during the
day. When weather permits, the ani
mals should be kept outside as much
as possible. Yards, lots, pens and
buildings should be kept clean, and
may be made freer of disease by the
use of lime and standard disi-'-’t
ants. Whitewashing the inside of
buildings, scattering lime over the
ground and floor, and spraying with
disinfectants those places accessible to
animals but inaccessible to sunlight
will aid sanitation and promote the
welfare of the farmer.
NORMAL HENS HAVE
TIME FOR MOLTING
It Usually Requires 100 Days to
Complete the Molt and Few
Eggs Are Laid by Fowls.
(By R. TI. WILLIAMS, Professor Ani
mal Husbandry, University of Arizona.)
All normal hens have a molting sea
son which comes in the late summer
and early fall. It usually requires
about 100 days to complete the molt
and during this period few eggs are
laid. This is a critical period for the
hens and they should have special
care and attention. Oily meal, sun
flower seeds and a limited amount of
corn will supply the oil constituents
while skim milk, meat meal and green
alfalfa are especially good to furnish
the protein. During this time the hens
should be given granulated bone to
furnish the ash constituents- required
in the new feathers.
Vigorous hens, properly fed, will
molt more rapidly than those lacking
vitality, or where they do not receive
special attention. It sometimes hap
pens that show birds are made to molt
early in the season.
