Newspaper Page Textr ■ GREASE HEEL. A Core For Tills Disease r.iven by ths Commission*'!" of Agriculture. Question 5 — I have a 4-year-old I mare which if suffering with what am told is grease heel. Her forelegs, swed from, her knees to her hoofs, are len^AteS’and ’benveeu^thf ankles it is cracked. I have washed her legs everv morning with warm salt water and wiped dry. I have tried bine vitriol, sulphur and lard, and various liniments, but she gets no better. Can yen tell me what to do? Answer 5.— Keep the animal In a clean, dry stall. Avoid wetting the gores or cracks, therefore do not wash them with water. Four or five time* daily apply liberally to the sores a lini meat composed of one part of liquid snbacetate of lead to three parts of ol ive oil. Prcrsevere in this treatment and 1 have no doubt you will cure the animal, nuless the sores or cracks are deeper than your description would in dicate. In that case you will need the services of a veterinary surgeon. After the sores have been healed, bandaging and proper exercises will reduce the swelling.—State Agricultural Depart ment. Oats Bo’wn In March. Question 15.— Will oafs succeed if sown in March? If so, how shall I pre are for them and what fertilizer snail use ? Also advise me how deep to cover the seed and whether this should be 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, iu the more southern por¬ tions we would not advise the experi¬ ment. All spring sown oats must run the risk of injury from two enemies, drouth and rust. To fortify against the first, prepare deeply and thoroughly, and to escape injury from the second supply plenty of plant food, that the crop may develop rapidly and mature before their can be any serious damage. It should be ke.pt in mind that the late 6owihg has only half as much time as the fall crop in which to attain its growth and perfect seed. Conditions for rapid de¬ velopment should therefore be made as favorable as possible: For this purpose the “Ninty Day, or Burt Oat,” has su¬ perior advantages on account of its quick maturity and comparative free¬ dom from rust. The seeding should be heavy. If the land has been well pre¬ pared, harrow them in and then harrow in the fertilizer, which should be rich in nitrogen. Any complete fertilizer will answer, however, and the extra ni¬ trogen can be supplied later by a top dressing of nitrate of soda. Cottonseed, which is considered such a splendid fer¬ tilizer for fall oats, is not so valuable for spring sowing because the need is forjomething mors quickly available. Cottonseed meal is better. Use this with phosphoric acid and potash in ubout tiie following proportions: Muri ate of potash, 1 part; phosphoric acid, 4 parts, and cottonseed meal, 6 parts. Mix thoroughly and apply to each acre as much as yon can afford. When the plants are well up and begin to show green all over the field apply from 60 to 100 ponuds nitrate of soda, never more than the latter quantity,as a top dressing beiug careful to put it on when the leaves are dry or it will scorch them. A good time is just before a rain or after a rain, when the ground is still damp, but the plants dry.—State Agri¬ cultural Department. Tlio < astor ltean In Georgia. ing Question 21.—I am thinking of plant¬ some castor beaus in the neighbor¬ hood of Rome. I am told that if I raise them there will be a buyer here to purchase them. Will they grow in this section, and how should I plant and prepare them for market ? Answer 21.—I see no good reason why the castor beau should not be grown successfully in your section. The chief objection would bo the want of a market, and if you have that assured, there should be, I think, some profit in the busiuess. The castor bean requires a good loamy soil, deeply and thoroughly prepared, and should be planted iu rows to 5 feet wide, and 4 to 4}£ feet apart in the rows. It is best to plant three or four seed to the hill, to insure a stand, as the cut worm* are some times troublesome. As soon as the plants are well started, take out all but cue to the hill. Cultivate as you would corn, keeping down all grass and weeds. The large variety grow in the w “ «*“■««•** era me to the small lightcolored beans grown in some parts of the west. The seeds will begin to ripen in August, a^d continue to do so until frost kills tho plants. When the pods on tl>e spikes begin to crack, they should be cut and spread m the sun to dry in t ie place previously prepared. This should be either a spot of hard, clean groum , or a scaffold.

A Series ot Experiment* Show That It Will Produce Sickness and Death Question 4.—If I cooked cottonseed meal, Or the wnole seed, would it not then be good food for pigs? Answer 4.—In Bulletin 21 of the Texas Experiment Station, there is re ported the results of a series of experi ments in feeding pigs with cottonseed, ftlld reached, is, that no waUer how . prepared, , whether , boiled (,T roasted, cottonseed fed to pigs wtil produce sickness and death. The boiled teed was a little less injurious than the roasted, the latter being almost as fatal as the raw meal. The cottonseed was not fed alone, but formed only a part of the ration. In from six to eight weeks the first symptoms of sickness appeared, the animals became dull and moping, and lost appetite. In 12 to 36 hours they became restless, staggering in their gait-, breathing labored, sight defective skin showing reddish inflamation. The fatal case* all showed “thumps' 1 —spas modic breathing. Finally the animals dropped down suddenly—sometimes on their bellies, sometimes upon their haunches with forelegs well apart t-o keep from falling over—almost always with evidences of acute internal pain. At death a quantity of bloody foam comes from mouth and nostrils. These pigs were fed by the side of pigs that had corn instead of cottonseed, and the pigs fed on corn remained perfectly healthy. —State Agricultural Depart ment. Fertilizing Elements In Unleached Ashes. the Question 7.—I would like to know wood fertilizing elements iu unleached ashes, unleached hickory ashes, cottonseed meal and acid phosphate. In burning bones or dead animals, what plant food, if any, is lost ? Answer 7. —Unleached oak and hick¬ ory ashe3 probably vary bnt little in composition. They contain, when pure, from 6 to 7 per cent potash, and 1 to 2 per cent phosphoric acid. Cottonseed meal contains from 5 to 7 per cent ni¬ trogen, 1 to 1}^ per cent phosphoric acid, and 1 to 1% P er cent of potash, acid phosphate, from 10 to 16 per cent phosphoric acid. In burning bones or dead animals, we lose all the nitro¬ gen which they contain, but we retain all tlio mineral elements. Burning such materials, therefore, is a wasteful method for making them available as fertilizers. The better plan is to com¬ post the dead animals with muck or stable manure, cutting them up if large. A thick layer of rnnk should be placed under and on top of compost heap.—State Agricultural Department. Strawberries For Sandy Soil. Question 10. —What kinds of straw¬ berries shall I plant on a light sandy soil, with clay subsoil? I would prefer the large varieties. Would sawdust be a good mulch? Answer to.—Sharpless, Bubach and Triomphe de Grand are all good varie¬ ties, and will succeed if you will fertil iz e your land heavily with stable ma nnT <‘ n f 'd ashes, and put it in good order b T deo P plowing and thorough harrow i»g- Sawdust makes a good mulch, re garded only as a mulch, but is an abso lute injury to the land when you have to plow it under, seeming to render the laud sour for some time afterwards. Where it can be obtained, pinestraw or any other straw makes a much more de¬ sirable mulch, as it soon rots, and when plowed nnder adds much to the fertility of the soil. I would advise you not to use the snwdust.—State Agricultural Department. Hardwood Ashes as Fertilizers. Question 11.—Are the lime and other ingredients in hardwood ashes worth anything as fertilizers for field crops? What is the value of a ton of hardwood ashes ? How many pounds of ashes will a cord of hardwood make ? Answer 11.—The fertilizing properties in unleached hardwood ashes are potash and phosphoric acid. The other ingredients have no special fertilizing properties, but do help the crops somewhat by putting the soil in a better mechanical condition, permitting it to be worked with more ease and rendering it easier for the feeding roots to penetrate in every direction. A ton of unleached hardwood ashes is worth from $5.00 to $6.00. You will get from two to three pounds of ashes to every 100 pounds of wood; I don't know how much to the cord.— State Agricultural Department. Scraping Away Dirt From Peach Trees, Question 13.—Is it the proper time to 8, “ 1 ' a P° aw »y the dirt from the base of 5 fstjsr wLT.S’Z 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 the earth around tho ba*e of the tree, down to the hori zontal roots.

I was only conscious of intense mental weakness, agonizing bodily pain and the fact that I was houriy growing weaker. When in this condition, 1 commenced using Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine. In two days I began to improve and in one month’s time I was cured, much to the surprise of all who knew of my condition.
