SCOTT & BOV.NL, < 1.5, Mew York. THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION: GA.. MONDAY, MARCH 28, 1898. hogs here tire allowed to run a.t large In the woods and when penned and fed corn they fatten vci-y slowly. A large I»r cent when killed show a great, many small pim ples mid sores on tho small Intestines. Our old hog raisers think that this is all cruised bv t.'li hogs eating faulty post oak acorns. Tin.;-" acorns failed to mature this bast .*: i sxm and w -re gin rally idled with minute worms. Thev (iho hog m< n) say that when hogs are affected this way in the winter tlie brood sows generally in tho next sum mer. 1 have tried various remedies on my j hogs without success and now nsk you i to publish your ideas on tho subject and | give us a "dead-shot” remedy. Answer--'A o remember that, about, twen- | tv-fivo years ago <>ur hogs discharged great | numbers of worms during tbe late fall anil | early w-inlir. There was a bountiful crop | of a.eorns th,at season, and it was the gen- ■ oral belie! that eating the acorns caused i the worms. But we observed no ill effects from tiie worms. T!i< n- Is a species of ,lender, white worm that Is .sometimes found in the intestines, mid it will burrow Into the walls of tlm sa.m.e, causing pustules and inll.immaiion. If very numerous this sP'-e.icss is very dangi runs. The best r< nudy is to giro 2 ti’aspconfuls of the lluid ex tra.< t of spiia lie. and the fluid extract | of ser.n;: at a. dose for a. grown hog and repent in a w> <k, if ncessary. Give tho <ios<- on n.n <'inptj* stomach. Os course there are other kinds of worms, but the above is tho kind that causes >thc symptoms you desi ribo. To Kill Johnson Grass.

Before you discover which stalks are going to produce, red cobs the tassels have performed their office in fertilizing the silks of the ears within a radius of many yards. One or more grains of corn on a given stalk may have been rhe result of a, fertilization of their individual silks by* pollen from .:i stalk that has, or will have, red cobs. The result may be a grain or grains, that wlil next year produce ears with red cobs, end so on indefinitely*. We do not believe In planting by tiie moon, but will not discuss that question. Witches’ Stirrups Again. Dr. J.. Cypress, S. ('.. says that the witches stirrups are caused by a secretion from tho roots of tho hair, a sort of dan druff. which causes itching and the "horse rubs the side of the neck against some ob ject.” The cure Is to "wa.sb the mane and tall three or four times yearly* 1n hot soapy water with two tnblespoonfuls cf aqua ammonia to every* gallon of tho hot soapsuds, rubbing it well into the roots of the hair. We would say that the dandruff (mango or lice) causes tbe itching, tbe itching Induces the rubbing and the ruibbing causes the tangling into ''witches stirrups. We suggootKi early in the discussion tint t.i-se stirrups were caus' d by* rubbing, aided by tbe peculiar condition of the atmosphere.. Os co.urse it would be inf erred Hmt tuo rubbing is Induced by itching, and it might bo inferred that tiie itching i< co used by* a mangy or scurfy or lousy condition of the skin. We understood, however, that the scope of tire question as originally stated was simply what was ti»<y direct cause of the stirrups. Dr. J. goes on to-say: “And nonr, brother farmers, how many of you have cleaned out the scrotum or slr ath of your lior.-.es within the last year'?
