SOWING OATS.
The se.i-<">n is now at hand for sowing
oats, tn bo quickly followed by the time
for .sewing wh-at. For many years we
have persistently advocated the oat sis tin'
giaiu par < x.-eileneo for stock purposes in
the south. Oats for work stock and grow
ing stock and dairy slock ami corn for
lea ad and for fattening purposes has been
our tie nrj. But lite oat is not a grain
t'. c v. II flourish and come to perfection
eu the poorest fields "on the place," poorly
p"< I. planted out of season, with nn
rit; able seed and without, fertilizers. It is
a common practice in many parts of the
country to plant the best folds In cotton
and corn -not alternately, but in cotton
until th- '• will not produce satisfactorily,
tlcn corn for a few y.ats, and then in j
<.at<. Thu planting, or sowing, of the oats
was done some time in the very late fall
<>r c; rly winter, or when l.tr cotton was
all gather-<1 and the corn all harvested
and there wis nothing else to do. The pro-
. .cc istcl in sowing one-half to one
b i : el of such si ed oat.s as might be found
In m 'tket Io the acre, and plowing them
i.tvi'T with a six-imxi "twister or tuin

and mature a best it. might, under such 1
conditions, and if it was winter killed or

W iflirm th it there should bo twice as ,
many bush.-Is of eats produced In the south j
as of corn. We would not increase the |
production of corn by a single bushel, [
on the contrary, we would rather decrease
U .. area, in corn if not the gross product.
Georgia, for inst.a tee. now produces about
thirty-live million bushels of corn -riot, more
than enough for home consumption and
about S’-.'en or eight millions of bushels of
oats. The state should produce twenty-live
or thirty million bushels of corn and fifty
of oats—the oats for work
md yout g stock, ths corn for bri ad.
I - nf] and beef cattle, f ->r dairy
cows, etc.
We advise a rotati »n as follows: First ,
; second year, oati (and
other small grain) and pe ts; uiird year, cot- !
ton. This would trie ie.tlly devote the I
•-.::ne area <<ich to corn, cotton .in I cals
and other small grain. We ■would fer

first noticed, two years ago. it was about
t ■ mall mat hie, of a soft
n tin . but ■ grown to about the size
<d an egg, and has become much harder.
Sonu times It -ci ms to lie going away; will
get sma Her, but will come back to ustia 1
size In a tow dais. It does not give her
any trouble at rill, but fear it will some
time if j continues to grow. ,\t times it
seem a lit 11, sensitive when pressed wit h
tue fingers. N<v r gave it any treatment.
.. "■ kept grr -■ d with hog's lard for sev
eral wi ■ ks. which had no effect. The mare
'ha never done any hard work. Any in
formation as to what will r.tnove it will
lie highly appreciated.
Answer—A windgall (which this 1s) when
I' first appears may sometimes be reduced
be a small pad tightly bandaged over the
protub' rance.. Hut after It. has become
hard, or has existed a long time, it should
he treat'd by blistering, using for this

Blue Milk.
It f.. VanL.indingham, Cairo. Ga.— I havo
a cow tilts gives milk w’lii 11 appears to lie
t.ll right when first milked. but after
standing until the cream rises, it looks blue
and watery, and has a salty taste; neither
will it clabber solid, and consequently can
scarcely get any butter from it. Am feed
ing her, night and morning, one peek cot
ton seed hulls, three quarts wheat bran
and two quarts cotton seed meal, witli a
little salt added, moistened and well mix
ed; she runs on grass during the day.
J l ive been giving lief each morning for n
week a tablespoonful of Barker's horse and
cattle powders. Can you tell me what to
do for her? She has no tippearanee of be
ing sick in anv way. Iler call ;s about
seven months old. though It was taken
from her while quite young.
Answer—ls you have other cows giving
milk not similarly affected, then it is pre
sumptive proof that the trouble is not in
the food or water. It is pretty certain
that it Is due to bacteriologcal fungus that
have found access to the teats of this
particular cow. For several days milk her
carefully three times a day. and after earn
milking, inject into each teat one or two
teaspoonsful of a solution of two drams
of hyposulphite of soda in a pmt of water.
Also’ see that she gets nothing but pure
water to drink.

Leaded it "sw ency.” we are by no me ms
certain H it it is swecney. ) ou do not s is
whether she i. lame or whether the plaee
is sore. We ean only advise that tit''
swollen place be bathed with cold water
half hour ala time three times a day.
and after each bathing rub on a lotion
made by dissolving ounce of acetate of
lead in 1 quart of water. Do this until th"
swelling is reduced. If there are places
that do not reduce, but are swollen and
soft, open them and let out the liquid.
Then inject once da'ily a little of a lotion
made by mixing one dram of chloride ol
zine and one pint of water, if there is any
tbic.’.tfning left after it heals rub on a
mixture of 1 dram of biniodid-- of mercury
and I ounce of lard. If the lump feels hard
and solid make tin opening in its center
two-thirds the depth; then roll up 2 grains
of bichloride of mercury in tissue paper,
ii.ne shaped, ami press it in to tlie bottom
of tlie opening with a small, .smooth stick.
Repeat lliis every third day.

“Chicken Corn.”
,T. R. Vaughan. John; » . Gt' -1 send you
a. sprig from tile top of what is called
chicken corn. Il does fine here, where it
is naturally toe poor t<> grow more than
six t<> '.igli; busluis to th- acre. There is
Ota* row of about 100 yards that is grand
t.i look a:; lias «tml no cultivation what
ever. The beads are so film and the seed
so white and clean that it looks like it
ought to bo ;i right valuable foragO plant.
)Iy horses hav. eaten the leaves .iff as
far as they can reach it. Would like to
know if it is good lor anything hut chick
ens. 1 might ;■ ow sorghum and imt the
beneflt of the sirup, but it requires fer
tilizer and good cultivation. This row I
speak of is from ten to fourteen fei't high
If It is worthy of cultivation I will save
seed and s -ed down four or five acres. It
lias to he planted caeli y< ar. (' e.like a
species that, grows wild on the black
prairie, soils in Alabama, where it is a
nuisance, and has seed something like this,
but. if I remember e n'rectly it. is a black
!)• ml ami seed ,-tay enveloped in tho black
diusk.
Answer- 'l'hero are so many varieties of
sorghum (non-sae.-harine) that are called
chicken corn tli.it we are often in doubt.
We think tlie variety you have was first
distributed in this country under tho name
"Egyptian Rice Corn;” .and then tho rural
New Yorker, of New York, exploited it
under the name of "Rural Branching Sor
ghum.” Send a iiea.l of it to tiie above
paper and ask the editor to tell you all
about it. It is understood to boa valuable
forage plant, “cutting and coming again
r< peatedly." We have found that Hie seeds
make a flour more nearly like wheat flour
titan any sorghum we ever tried. The wild
variety of which you write is really a pest,
but is different from this.
Cotton Estimates.
W. W. Rainey, Elams. N. C. —I wish to
say a word as to Mr. Neill - cotton r- p irt.
If he is wrong in his estimate it. will ruin
its cotton farmers before tho error is found
out. Most poor men will have parted with
their cotton. He says late rains have or
will increase the yield of cotton I.Sin.t'tiO
bales. How can rain benefit a cotton <*top
when it is nearly all op. t? I am in twen
ty miles of the most northern grown cotton.

open. Wlio does Mr. Neill get Ids reports
from; is it not often from some little cross
roads storekeeper, who don't know a goo-1
crop when they see it? I have away of
my own of estimating a cotton crop that
seldom fails me. I have been at it for
forty years. When cotton just begins to
open, say first week in September, I go
over my crop, select a place by eye whi h
seems to be about an average place, step
off ten steps and count the bolls—all that
tire safe from fro;"; after counting a d z ii
places add up the bolls in. all places count
ed and divide by the number of places
counted and I have the average for eieh
square yard of my land in cultivation.
Having counted so often, I find as my
standard to go by twenty-one bolls to the
square yard Is a':) average crop and <>w r
or under this I estimate by per cent. This
amount will pan out 750 pounds of seed cot
ton per acre. If bolls are very small or
extra large I allow for this and gue.-s
accordingly. 1 have now growing what all
my neighbors say by looking at the wee'. 1
to he the finest crop of cotton they ever
saw In this section, and yet i know by
actual count I shall gather one-llfth bis
than last season on same land. I have
stalks eight feet high with only two or
three bolls and in some eases inot a single
one to the stalk too wot in July before
any fruit formed. Now I want you to
establish a bureau of your own to get
weekly reports from all Hie cotton belt by
postals to bo mailed a certain day in < i"h
week, and from these postal.-; you compile
a report of your own and put in the
space, now occupied by Riordan A- Co.'s
cotton letter; have you,- correspondents
selected from good reliable farmers or
ginners and fry to give us as near facts
ns possible. It need not cost you a cent,
for there are tlmu-ands of farmers like
myself who want to know only tho truth.
With the great trust and the speculation
in futures, with tlie g'dd standard fa '''ti
ed upon us and the Fi’it>d States tre.is
urv bursting with its surplus, we nr- be
ing ground b- tween the upper and lower
millstone almost Io a powder, and with th ■
b 'untiful crops nature has bles-d its with

account of having worked too hard and

I have not been able to pay expenses for
th ■ past two years.
We expect to use corn for stove wood

Answer—We have let our correspondent
have !>is say. and bo has said It well. Tho
entire letter was referred to the edito-Mn
chlef for oassienmont and the sue—es!:"'!
on the first page (not print' d above) w is
referred to tho httsim ss manager. Tile re
mainder properly lr longs to the commer
cial department. W ■ confess that wo take
very little stock in these cotton estimates
at this season of the year. \\ •• do not.
know to wiiat extent. .Mr. Neill's corre
spondents are reliable and informed. We
have considered that such corresponds! ts
are prettv good p:-.ietic.'il "guessors, ’ and
they bi.' - their estimates largely on tlie
consensus of judgment of the farmers
themselves. The report' d “receipts at the

Mr. li 'ini-y’s letter Is of date September

northern limit ot North Carolina, cotton).
But that was not. tho .'.iso in maid." lo or
ea at that date. Mr. Rainey ry pert -

Cotton Seed and Moles.
E. J. MeCrfiry, Waco. Tex. I wish to
US'- cotton seed to manure land to plant
vl ri< next is it best to put
In • land l i of December, or
. |,j h< ating t K in? I put live seed

U . !.d the mob - gave me much trouble.
i'l believe tltey were attracted during l.ie
winter to them. Are mob s fonder of live
seed that) d- ad or 'heated seed?
Ai i W< are not able to say wh< ther
the mole prefers green or rotted cotton
sed. We Would suppose that it prefers tne
seund seed. You don't propose to uso cot
ton seed alom as a manure for your straw
hen i< s and bla< k icrries? W e would ad
vise a mixture of J.twO pounds of acid phos
phate, l,(itX) pounds of kainit and 75 bushels
of cotton seed. Tins.- might be put up
in a heap, thoroughly wetting tlie seed, and
'permitted to ferm-nt. We rather think
lliat the kainit would destroy the palal
•abletiess of tiie cotton seed.

me if seed of nut gr is.' will mature and
come up iu lliis state- I mean tin- seed ol
Hie bloom, not tlie nuts; 1 know they will
come.
Answer—We really do not know whether
or no the seed of nut grim germinate and
produce plants. It is a mooted question.
We are inclined to the opinion that tiie
seeds are eitiier produc' d to a very I mlted
extent or they germinate, to ti very limited
extent. If Hie e' eds wer. freely produc d,
or eve n if those produced should freely and
. erttiiniy germinate, we do not sei wiiat

some seed for i-xpi rimetit.uioii.
Pinkeye in Cows.
j. C. G., I’rospect. Tenn., to Mrs.
1,. W. E., Columbus, Miss. Your cow Il ls
wiiat we term pinkeye. '1 lie cows iu my
neighborhood had this same last
year. Their eyes run waler all tlie tin)''.
The eve is perfectly white, like milk. Al
ter aw<ekor t< n d ijs, if y<> ■ - ill ■ - b
von ean see tin- pink spot in her eyes, it
usually takes about three weeks for them
to get well. 1 knew of two cows that
were perfectly blind for two months. You
win see no more of pinkeye after the
weather gets cool. We found no remedy
f or tho disease. Those that did nothing
for them found t'iiai their cows’ eyes got
well quicker than those that doctored.
Answer I'inkeyo is a common mime ap
plied 'to epizootic inllu'-nzi, (“epizooty”),
which is a disease that does not .if ’.ek
cloven-footed animals. Wo have studied
Mrs. D. W. E’s. case since writing a reply
to Iler inquiry and are now satisfied that
the disease is enzootic ophthalmia, (not
epizootic). Tlie following is the tri atm. til;
Separate the sound from the diseased and
ficin the pasturis or buildings where the
malady appeared. Give tlie affected a
strong purgative (salts, one to one and one
half pounds nt one dose), followed by one
ounce of saltpeter twice a <)aj. Place in
a dark, quiet, dry building and keep a
cloth over the eye, saturated with a solu
tion of one dram each of nitrate of silver
and carbolic acid, and ten grains of mor
phia to a quart of distilled water. Blisters
of cantharides may be applied to the cheeks
or behind the ears.
Knuckling of Colts’ Feet.
I’ W. l.ever. It. Ga. AVhat should
I do for my colt? Stands on toe of right
forefoot, all right in balance of feet. 1 mean
by standing on toe that it pitches forward
or that his hoof does not come down as it
should, flat on Hie ground, ('oil is aliout
six weeks old mid is a very line one.
Answer— Knuckling is a not uncommon
defect of young foals and usually requires
no treatment. Trim the toe of the foot
short and put on a shoe with high heels,
is about all that cat) be done for it. The
defect is a partial dislocation of the fet
lock joint. It has sometimes been relieved
by putting tlm ankle and foot in splints,
but It is not a reliable method of treat
ment.
Paralysis of Horse.
Airs. S. ('. Collins, Taylor. Ala.—l have
a horse (hat is so weak in the loins or
hind quarters .somewhere that he is con
tinually on his guard to keep from falling
on making a short turn. lie often falls, and
going down hill seems to require a much
greater effort, to keep from falling. AVhen
he runs he seems powerless to control his
hindparts—'they staggering first, one way
mid then the other. He is four years old;
has been in this condition about, eight
months; is hearty and seems perfectly
sound with lite exceptions of the above.
AVould bo very glad for information con
cerning the. trouble and a remedy for same.
Answer—Your horse hits paraplegia, or
palsy of the hind limbs. It may be due to
a blow on the back or from disordered
digestion, or from tumors or parasites in
the spinal cord, or from eating some pois
onous plant, etc. Remove any possible
cause that may be removable. It is very
likely that the cause <s beyond reach of
remedy. Give 1 dram of lluid extract of mix
vomica, or 1 dram of the powdered nux
vomica twice u day for a week. Then stop
three days and then give as before for a
week, ami so on.
Cow Pox.
R. C. R., Cartersville, Ga.—About two
Weeks ago one of mv cow's terns began
to get sore. The sores were about the size
of a piniii'.-i-l at first, but they spread rap
idly mid tiie s<"i|,a on some of them are
a.s large as a quarter of a dollar. There
sire hmd swollen lumps inside the terns,
something like boils, but no pus comes
from them. N.itiiine except the tents are
alllicted. 1 wash them with cold water
and have tried greasing them with axle
grease, vaseline and lard mixed with a
few drops of carbolic acid, but it sloes no
good, sippsiren! ly. The flow of milk is mu
diminished and appears to be good, though
of course I'm not using it.
Now another eo w is beginning to be af
flicted the same way. Both cows are
good milkers and in goo<l flesh. They
have been on b'l'inuda pasture all sum
mer mid ar.' fed twice a il.iv on shucks
mid a mixture of cotton seed, corn meal
mid brmt, moisbrnel with wil'T. They
have been giving milk nearly five months.
Can you tell me what is the trouble mid
a remedy.
Answer- We think it is quite prob il l''
that your cows have what is known is
cowpox, the ili-eise which led to tho dis
coy. ry of vaccination as a preventive of
smallpox in the human kind. Tlie disease
runs its course in about three weeks d
nothing can be done to cut in short. A
mild laxative, say I', pounds of epsom
salts, may 1.- given if the animals seem
feverish. Great care should be used In
milking not to ruptur.- the bllm-rs or
tear off th" scabs. Anoint the teats Wita
an ointment formed of "lie ounce laeii "f
rm .■ ■ tl and oil of almonds, mi l half
a dram of myrrh. It may lie necessary to
use milking tubes io oraw oft tlie milk.
Th., disease is contagious, being communi
cated to t e milker and then
to oilier cows. Tiie milk is all right it the
cow has no fiver.

Answer You do not give any description
of the symptoms, exe. p't 111' bare state
ment that the COW ' Slopped Up. YoU
do m>t say wiiat she has lien eating er
w hether she lias < at< u ■ aytliing since tlie
day she was taken; : " we are shut up to
the conclusion that ; e cow had overlille.l
her pauiH'h to tn extent th
same was completely obstructed mid para
lyzed. In the lit t .-t.i:.- 'S stimulants ami
mil Uermefils should have b on given, and
also active, but not irritating, purgatives.
One pound c of lipsoni mi l Glaub'r
stilts, two oui.ees spirits of turpentine mid
one-half dram of nux vomica, to be fol
lowed by stimulants ami repeated in seven
or eight hours f t.o m'tmn occurs. Ono
and one-half tables! aifuls of croton oil
is the biggest do .■ of that violent purga
tive that we owr h'-ird of. The dose
for an ox is twenty to thirty drops. The
fact tha ■ ’
the stomach would t"t a orb or take up
m. di ine of any kind. But as you do not
say that she was bloated or swollen or in
pain, it may be that ■ -I ■ had Waat is known
as a "hair ball” ot mad globular lump
of hairs licked from ?■ r own or the bodies
of other cows. These hair balls usually
remain for a time lit tie ’mm h, but if
they pass into ti smaller intestines they
will eventu lly t p) tely stop up the
bowels mid preiiaee death. There is no
way to determin. whether a • ow has one
of these obstructions in her stomach or
bowels except a post mortem examination.
AVe presume your cow was dead long be
fore your letter was received.

Lump Jaxv.
C. N. Jordan, Swofford, Wash.—l send
you a clipping from your paper of A.ugust
22d. I have a three-year-old steer that has
the same disease that you describe, but has
only had it two or three weeks. You failed
to give any remedy for the disease. Now
if you can give a remedy for the disease,
you will oblige mo.
Answer- AVe were by no means confident
that Hie disease affecting ttio cow of D.
B. K., Hayesville, N. ('.. was lump jaw;
nor are we any more confident that yours
lias tlie same disease. It requires a car' ful
lietail of tlie symptoms to recognize the
disease without seeing It. As we stated in
reply to D. B. K., the disease can be cured
in a majority of cases if treated in the
early stages, as follows: Give the animal
one’dram of lodide of potassium morning
and evening in a bran mash for three,
weeks. If the animal’s eyes should get
watery and considerable saliva run from
the mouth, stop for a tew days and begin
-again. Rub the lump once a week with one
dram of biniodide of mercury and uno
ounce of lard. Continue this for several
months.
Sowing Wheat.
AV R., Assurance, N. C.-J have a plot
of land whieli I want to sow in wheat; will
vou ple.ee tell me through your page tlie
proper time to sow It, and how to prepare
tiie land? Tiie land is a black sandy soil,
and will produce from elglit to ten bushels
of corn p»*r acie.
Answer You do not state the condition in
which the land now is, but we presume !u
corn. Turn over tlm land four or flv»'
inehes deep as soon as practicable. About
the usual time for first killing frost sow
over the surface 200 pounds of acid phos
phate, 250 pounds of cotton seed meal (or
J2.‘> pounds of high-grade dried blood) and
pounds of muriate of potash (or 200 pounds
of kainit) per acre. Harrow in well with
a cutaway barrow. Then sow the wheat.,

fir the last., if not the first trouble. Cm
it be permanently cured? AV I lat Is tlm
remedy for a- ihotse eating too fast?
Answer- It. is quite evident that your
horse Ims intestinal worms, whi-h is the
cause of his rubbing his tail, and also,
probably, of Indigestion. First, g- I rid of
the worms, as fellows: Give tho following
as one dose, night and morning, for a
week; One dram each of copperas and
tart ir emetic ami two drams of linseed
meal. At tlm end of Vhe week give a pur
gative, as follows: tine ounce spirits of
turpentine and one pint raw linse-d oil.
Give .is one do.-:-. At tlm end of three
w eks r-peat tiie entire treatment In or
der to . ateii any worms that may have
hateiied in the meantime. After tin- first
week of treatment for worms, and while
waiting for tlm time for tlm next course,
give two tablespoonfuls, three times a
day, of the following tonic: One ounce
tincture of iron, one ounce tincture of
gentian, ten ounces of water. The above
tonic may be continued after the second
course of worm treatment,
'1; . are so many ski;', diseases that It
is difficult to determine from yourdescrip
ti-ui jmt wiiat it Is. But since it returns
every summer and ge s well on t'he ap
proach of cool weather, w<- suspect that
ii is a parasitic di.'-'-ise called "summer
sores," from a parasitic worm called
lilaria irritans. Treatment consists lir.si
in placing the anima] in a cool place and
showering the. surface with cold water.
Then ini, on the surface of each sore lodo
form. and coyer il with a layer of collod
ion, and repeat, the op ration every twen
ty-four hours for lifteen days, or until tlm
sor.s heal up. Ether or caloroform may
be used instead of dodoform, being poured
on cotton lint, or on a piece of sponge, and
applied to the sole for two minutes be
fore painting collodion. This is a
slmpli but tedious treatment, but it is nec
essary.

Fleas on Dogs.
J. A. Younts, Pineville, N. C.—Can vou
give me a sure death and destruction rem
edy for fleas on dog? I have a beautiful
pug that is nearly worried to death by
Heap. AVe have used various remedies for
the last two years, such as insect pow
der.-. k-rosene oil, etc., and think we nave
them till killed out. but two days after
our best work t'he dog will be covered.
A', ill appreciate a sure remedy through
farmers’ column.
Answer The difficulty probably lies in
the fact that you simply kill tho fleas that
may be on the dog at the time of treat
ment, while t'iie brei ding of young liens
and their rapid development is constantly
going on in the rugs, doormats, crevices
of t'he floor, sweepings, etc. Tlie fleas do
not breed on tlm dog. Tiie eggs are drop
ped at random, but mostly while file d ig is
lying quietly (as may be) on tiie mat, or
rug. or floor, or in his kennel. The eggs
hatch in a few days into little white worms
and these soon develop into fleas and get
onto any dog t'hat may pass near, or lie
down in their reach. Persian insect pow
der (fresh and good) is excellent to dust
over (he dog, as well as over carpets, rugs,
etc. in winch he :has lain. €>r you may
wash the dog with a mixture of yolk of
eggs and one teasoonful of spirits of tur
pentine to i'a<<h yolk, or a mixture of one
ounce of oil of anise-seed and ten ounces of
