CORN SMUT.
Os course every farmer and farmer's
hoy j.s familiar with the so-called corn smut
which Is more or less present in the corn
fields every year. Some years only an occa
sional stalk, or ear of corn, will be found
Infested; but in some years, it is very
abundant—this year, for instance. XV e have
several times seen It in even greater
abundance than now, and have estimated
the loss of corn from this cause tts high as
f> per cent of the whole yield. It has been
estimated that the average annual loss in
the whole country from this cause Is not
less than I P'-r cent, being much greater
of wet year;-.
This smut Is what Is called a “fungus,”
end Its scientific name is Ustllago maydls.
It was formerly Supposed that the spores
(seeds) of the fungus attacked the corn
plant near the ground during the early
stages of growth and that the fungus there
, ntered the . talk and gr< w up within It.
developing- into “bolls” or smut heads hero
end there on (he plant, but noticeably on
the ears and tassels. It was thought by
some that the spores even entered into tho
young plant through its roots, or into
the very germ itself, and that these spores
were carried Into the soil with the seed
corn. But these theories have been found
to bo erroneous, being based on tho
observed life history of the smuts
which attack wheat, oats and oth
er small grains. In these
cases It had been proven that the spores
enter tho sprouts ol the small grain before
they were (half an Inch long and thoroughly
perm -ate every tissue of the plants and
Hilling tho place where the ripened grain
should appear with the well known "bunt"
or sticking smut of wheat, blast of oats
and barley and ergot Os rye.
Hut it remained for Dr. Oscar Brefeld,
a German .scientist, to give to the world,
in 188 S, tlhe true life history of corn smut.
As the result of a long course of experi
ments observation the found that tho
smut may infest tho corn plants at any
time before full maturity. No remedy
lor corn .smut has yet been discovered or
<l.■vised. It Is useless to treat tho seed,
w« may successfully do In the case of
whi it smut, previous to planting. Hut
th.re are certain precautions that will
i, : -n tho disease, such as cutting out tho
smutted parts before they mature and de
stroy them.
the smut of corn injurious to stock?
This question has often been asked, but
answers were at first not very confidently
given. But the carefully conducted tcedlmg
<on smut) experiments of the .Mi-higin ex

that there Is no harm In It.

“Three pounds of sweet potatoes proved

Pharyngitis.
G. K. Barfield, W'dt.-water, Ga.-I have
a large seven-yf ;.r-old Nebraska hor<e
that seems all right in '-vi-ry p-irticular,
cxi-ept a slight affection -t Ids throat..
This I.as both.-red him s. vi ral times when
li.' attempts to eat or drink 100 fast, in
drinking he acts as if l.e is strangled, in
eating. ’■* ry much the same way, yet
something like he Is choked. He draws
his chin toward the hr. asl and gives a
heave like he is trying to push something
out, at the same time often hacking, lie
also works his m.-utb like he h-i<l som. -
thing too far down and Is trying to g*-t
it back. He can't swallow wild- in this
lix. V. ater often runs back out of lii.w
nostrils when he is drinking and makes a .
kind of gurgling noise. He has always
got ovi-r this in a few minutes and woul 1
(:<> back to eating, until yesterday. H
stall so for four or live hours, when 1
finally drenched him with about a half
pint of lard. He got all right in a f. w
minutes and went to eating. I may add
that no particular kind of food seems to
lie worse than another in producing the
• Tfect. It was watermelon the last time
lb- has no cough except a kind of heav
ing one while in this condition. What can
1 do for him?
Answer —it Is probable that the horse has
j what Is known as pharyngitis, or Intlam
matlon of the mucous membrane of the
back part of the mouth, which is called
i the “pharynx. Give one-half ounce of
I chlorate of potash three or four times a
[ day. This may be given suspended in
warm water as a gargle, or It. may In'
i mixed with liquorice root powder and
I honey and given with a strong spoon or
paddle. Borax or alum water may be glv
’ en instead of the chlorate of potash. Give
■ soft food, such as bran mashes, eorn-
■ meal. Yet, sometimes a horse will do
! beter eating corn from the cob.
j Blight in Cotton—Musk Rats.
j J. C. Foster. I.umber City, Ga. I want
i to ask through Inquiry department of your I
| paper what, causes blight in cotton am l a ■
| jirevemi live. I saw an inquiry in y >ur pa •
per a few weeks ago ask!ng what •-• m I
prevent muskrats from destroying corn. I
will give a pian I adopted several year.- ng > 1
and it was a sue<-ess. It is to sink a Hour
barrel In their p.itli where they come out I
from tin- creek; let tin b.ii ri'i lie sunk in '
| the ground so the top of the barri-1 will 1
j bo even with the surface of the lai: 1 |
i around it: they won’- c. t out of th-r |
I path, so they fall In the barrel and inii’t ■
j get out. It Is a stir" trap to ■ it.-h th*-m. I
I caught ( ley. n the first season I tri.d it ~n ! I
1 haven't '.m l t > try th. :'. ■ ■ .in . as ! \
! haven’t been bo'h.ri-d with them. I tr.< ’ |
I strychnine on btsemt. but that was n-> '
| go* d, for they never ent it.
Answer There are s.-vi-ral differon’ i
t "bilghts” of cotton, viz.: tin- ' mosaic dis- .
i e.-iso” or “yellow b n'’ blight,” which .■v.-nt
i ually assumes the form of “black rust.'
; lb d leaf blight, angular has spot, french
i ing, root rot and authraono.se. You prob
j ably have in mind th* bl.o-k rust or blight.
It Is due to some physlologle.il cause or
i condition of the soil. Experiments indicate i
i tliat a liberal application of kainit is a |
preventive. Our experience favors the con-
; elusion that a liberal application of a well j
! balanced fertilizer, thorough preparation i
i and cultivation are preventions. As a mat- I
| ter of fact we have not had a hundred |
stalks of rust-infected cotton In eight |
years. i
Practically the same remedy for musk- |
rats appeared In issue of July 25th.

Saddle Galls.
I To “Dixie Boy," Rome, Ga.—You can re
j move the “knots,” or minors, from your
I horse's back as follows: First, do not use
i him for riding for some time, or until the
! tumors are temoved. Get a little weak
i solution of iodine and inject into the tumors
I with a hypodermic syringe once a. week, [
’ Or you may stick a penknife blade Into .
i eadh tumor in two or three places toward !
its central portions, and then insert Into I
each incision two grains of bichloride of
mercury, rolled up in a bit of tissue paper,
twice a week. It Is possible tliat the latter
one, if not the oilier, may lie removed by
I rubbing it daily with iodine ointment, or
camiJiiorated spirits, ami soap liniment.
Knuckling.
G. \V Jackson, ('apeville. Tenn.- I have
a colt, tliri e months old tl. i: w.i.- cut on n |
wire fi nee about two montns ago. H*- xas |
cut In rit ’.’t sluiul.hr near j.dnt. It is en-
, tir. lv l.eai'd up now. but he is still stiff in
he legs. Shortly aft< r he was cut he be-
' gun to walk on his to s in front. 1 thotq

He was cut In only one leg, bitt is lame
iu both. When .■ walks he throws his
ri- ,- loot out a little. Could you recom
mend ,n:> thing to .Io for him?
Answer The fact that the colt knit- kh s
In both legs is strong pn sumptiv.- proof
that tlhe cut With the wire was not the
immediate cans, of it. Knuckling of both
1,. , is not uncommon in young colts, and
usually requires no treatment, tho ankles
I straight, n.ng up in time. In this e ,-e you
will probably i-eli. ve the knuckling by
I blister ng the reir part of the ankles on< e
I a week, using an ointment of oncdhalf |

! lard. Also use a good liniment the entire
length of the legs up to th. elbows, and In ,

2. Is the cocklebur a nitrogenlous plant?
Will tlhey not improve land almost as well
as peavines?
Answer—l. It may not in this Individual
case, but the weight of authority, opinion
and experience is all against breeding an
aniriKtl that is not grown and fully ma

Forms Falling Off. i
S. J. Hill. Caranehana.-I herewith send
you some dead cotton forms. 1 wish to
know the cause of their .lying. A great
deal of the cotton in this county Is In the
same condition. 1 don't find any dead
forms larger than these. Please give name
of disease and remedy if you have one.
Answer—We are not prepared to say
what it is that Is affecting the very young
squares. We showed them to a skilled
entomologist and biologist. He was not
prepared to examine them, as he had no
high power microscope, but gave It as his
opinion that it was tho effect of some bac
terial disease.
Strangely Affected Horse.
To A. G. B. Martin, Martinsville, Miss.—
We are not able to diagnose the. case on
the chart of symptoms presented, but will
Say that rabies is somewhat indicated. 1 he.
itching of the legs, the startled manner, tho
sensitiveness to light, extended nostrils,
etc,, are usually manifest in the first stages
of rabies. But. we do not insist upon this
diacnusls it Is only suggestive. We would
like to Iwar the sequel of his attack.
Riming Sorghum Juice.
F. P Sealy. Fredonia, S. C.—ln your
answer to my Inquiry about lumpy sirup
you reciunmendeil lime to neutralize the
rieid In tho juice. Will you please give di
rections how to use it?
Answer—Pour two or throe gallons of
boiling water on a half-peck of freshly
slaked lime ami stir the mixture. Then b-t.
the lime settle to the bottom and then pour
off tho clear liquid. Again pour on to the
same limo another gallon or two of hot
wat'-r and pour off the cb ar water again.
Now put the washed lime m a d'-cp jar
mixed with just enough water to give it
the consistence of very thick croim. When
wishing to use it mix a little water with it
and add such quantity to the Irish cam
juice as may be required to neutralize the
acid of the juice. This may be best de
termined by getting a few strips of red
litmus paper. Dip a strip Into the j-iico
and if the juice turns the red paper to a
faint blue color, the milk of lime must
bo slowly added to tho juice, stirring it
Well until the paper win bo turned a. light
blue'. After a few trials It is found how
much of the regular prepared milk of limo
will be roqulnd to cause the paper to turn
blue, and the paper test may be dispensed
with except occasionally to see that ihe
juice is 111'1 acid. The red litmus paper
costs but a few cents.
There ai-e other re-agents employed :»
th- same purpose, for instance b:-snlphn.e
of lime, bu; the above is simpler and more
available.

I Atlanta, Ga.
Mentlon The Constitution
spring after gathering tho clover off I
want to plant the land in corn. Will It
lie apt to J.irjng as good or better corn
by having it Th clover?
Answer—Crimson clover following cow
peas Is not considered a scientific success.
a« both -are leguminous crops. The Chief
advantage of the pea stubble is the con
siderable amount of nitrogen it returns
to the soil, and this nitrogen is not ap
preciated by the closely following crop of
crimson clover. It would not be what
would be called a bad plan, but we would
prefer some other succession. For in
stance, follow the pea stubble with oats
or rye, or some kind of grass, all of which
require nitrogen as a dominant element.
Crimson clover hay requires potash and
phosphate.
Crimson clover hay. If cut late, is apt
to be injurious to horses and mules from
the spiney seeds heads forming indigesti
ble concretions in the stomach of the unl
nials eating the hay.
You may very successfully secure a
stand of crimson clover by sowing the
seeds on the pea crop before harvesting
the latter. About fifteen pounds of good
seed uro sufficient for one acre.
You will find that the crimson clover
will not be ready to mow in time to plant
a crop of Indian corn in tho land at the
usual season for planting corn. The turn
ing under of sod of crimson clover just
before planting the corn would boos little
or no benefit to the corn, but would bene
fit a crop of small grain following the
corn.
Dog Fits.
J. W. Yount, Crimora Station, Va.-I had
a valuable bird dog which died wdth tm

1 had two dogs to die bv the same dts

one and very fat.’ Please tell me what
was the matter with them, and give tteai-
UK’nt.
Answer Tho authorities agree In many
such attacks simply as “convulsions." or
“fits.” Young dogs are most subject to
them when t" thing, or when affi cted with
worms. These fits are also sometimes
duo to disorders of the brain. Treatment
consists of removing tho cause, where it
can bo ascertain'd. Nothing can be done
while the fit is on. Dance inflamed gums
If due to teething; expel worms or irritat
ing matter from the. intestines. The fit
over, give one to thre ta-blespoonfuls of
castor oil (according to size of dog); also
inject Into tho rectum occasionally a tea
spoonful of the following: One ounce each

Impaction of Rumen.
James G Trent, f.angdon, N. <’.-1 have
a cow that has be n .-i'k three weeks; her
svmptom,- tin-, lit.-; -h.- failed to eat, gr.-a.:-
ly swollen and bound in bowels and has
never ch.-wed her cud v. t. cats a little drv
fc*-.1. Just enoimh to keep her alive, and
drinks but litt’e water. I gave het- first a
drench of common soda thinking it would
cause her to belch and chew, but she threw
up great quantities of tilth and got no
hotter. 1 th. n gave lo r oil -nd then salt
and raw eggs incl < v. rythlnu causes her to
yorntt yet Please natim the disease and
give mo a remedy if my known.
Answer—There are so many ailments of
the stomach ami bowels that cause prac
tically the same symjitoms as de -crib. .1
by our correspondori- that it is practically
Itnjiossible to .-ay Jest what it Is that ails
the cow. Dust, balls sometfin. s form in
the stomach or bowels, wh’ h ma.v result
In all the symptoms described. It may be
Impaction of the third stomach called by
Home “dry murrain.” The mere ceasing to
chew the cud is no disease itself, bun is
tho result of the fact that the cow eats
little or nothing, and therefore has no
“cud" to chew. The first treatment in such
a ease is the giving of one quart of raw
linseed oil with two drains of fluid extract
of belladonna In it. Follow this with one
pound of epsom salts, one and a half drams
of quinine dissolved in half a gallon of cold
water and given at one do.se. If the oil
does not operate or she vomits It up give
large injections of warm soapsuds until tho
bowels are evacuated. Give her all the cold
water she will drink.
But the case has been going on so long
that it is probable that, she will either be
dead or well by the time this reaches you.
Johnson Grass.
M. S. Posey, Itichmondiee, Miss.—ls tho
editor or any of The Constitution’s readers
can tell how to destroy Johnson grass, it
will favor several farmers of this vicinity.
'Pais grass <-omni»Tierfi in tlTis country, it
Is thought, by sowing imported oats, and
no one familiar with it, it was well set be
fore its Identity wa.s known. Am told
by those, who have had some experience
with this grass that if it i.s discovered the.
first year of its growth It can easily be
eradicated by puGing it up and digging
down and getting every fiber that can be
found, which wid not be a very difficult
task if there is not likely to be but one
or only a. few bunches. The grass and
roots should bn bruised after pulling it up.
So farmers would net wisely, 1 should
think, to avail themselves of any opportu
nity to see this grass that they may learn
to recognize it on its first appearance.
Answer—We have received many speci
mens of Johnson grass from farmers who
did not know it "at sight,” but were in
formed In regard to its character as a pest.
It resembles broom corn somewhat In its
flowering, and is also somewhat like sor
ghum. In fact, all the sorghum and broom
corns belong to the same genus with John
seon grass, viz, the sorghum genus. But
Johnson grass, which is botanically known
as sorghum halajiense. Is a perennial,
having jointed, eane llkq roots (Ilk*' tho
roots of swamp cane). It Is these jointed
roots that survive the winter, nml make It
so, persistent. Tlhe fibrous roots do not
continue to live
Tlie head of tho Johnson grass is spread
ing and pyramidal, the seeds shining and
glossy when ripening, and the heads are
from eight inches to eighteen Inches long.
The stems are smaller than ordinary small
broom corn, and are from four to ten feet
high, according to soil.
Atrophy of Muscle.
W C Higgins. Rocky Branch, Tex.—
I h.-iv-e. a verv valuable horse about eight
year.-', obi; sixteen hands; Bine sadUler.
jl,. js a pacer and foxtrots. About tho
1-. t of last October I noticed a. small sunk
en piae.. on the left Md.-, just above the
root of his tail. This place has gradually
epiarg.-d until the left Ajlm.lijuarters mus
ele.s li.-i’.-e ji.-rlsli.'d away. lb- seems to lie In
g..ud health otherwise. Ills appetite Is good
and ho carries good flesh on balance of
body. He is lively. He Is not lame, but
of course ho can't use his left hind leg
as he should. Please diagnose and I>re
seribe treatment.
Answcr-eWe would call It a rase of
atrophy or wasting away of the muscle
that lies on the side of the tall bone,
caused by a sev.-i-o strain of that particular
muscle. Repeated applications of tincture
of cantharid.-s to the skin of the sunken
portion will usually make the muscle re
develop. Rub In a small quantity every
day «“o as to In • p the j/lace sore and lu
ll.mod. If It fall; after three or four
We. ks. Insert, c seton every two or three
Inches, and smi-ar the setons slightly with
canlharides ointment about twice a week
and 1.-ave them on three or four weeks.
Give gentle exercise. It is frequently tlho
ease that all means fall to make tho mus
cle r.-devi lop, and the place will be simply
an < j esore, not seriously impairing the
usefulness of the animal.
Crushed vs. Whole Cotton Seed.
J. S. M„ Miley's S.C.—Will crushed cot
l".-i seed act more quickly than whole seed
and is there any advantage In crushing
Answer— Yi s. crushed cotton seed de
compose somewhat more readily than the
whole seed; but ihe principal advantage in
crushing the seed (and the object general
ly in view) Is that the crushing destroys
tho germinating power of the seed. (Your
other question has been answered by mall).
RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES.
Statement of the Government’s Money
During Last Fiscal Year.
W ishlngton. August 2.—Assistant Secre
tary Howell today made public the follow
ing- statement in regard to the receipts
and disbursements of ihe government dur
ing the last fiscal year:
Receipts, including Pacific railroad Items,
were $4*15,321,335.
Exji.-nditures, Including P'aclfle. railroad
items, $443,368,582. Leaving a deficit of $38,-
047,247.
if we exclude the receipts from Pacific
railroads amounting to $.51,751,223 and the
expenditures on this account of $4,549,368,
the. account would stand as follows:
Receipts, .$340,570,111; exp.-nuTtun-s, $438,-
819,214, leaving a deficit of $98,249,103.
This l uge deficit Is accounted for. In
part, by the extraordinary demands upon
the i n-’isury to carry on ihe war. A con
s'rvative estimate of the war expenditures
during- th.- months of March, April, May
and Jun.- :s $5 »,'.<»>>.<•*’>. If we deduct this
from tile $;i8,211'.1"3 1 :ie deficit would lie $42.-
2!9,10.".. In otlo r words, the deficit would
not have exceeded this amount on a pi-aco
ba..... a : •he end of tho first sev et months
of the fiscal Veil-, th'- deti'-l- was $51.901,823.
li.luct from this $42,249,103 and we find
tti.it the deficit has been reduced during
t l ist five months of the fiscal year
