FROM “SQUARE" TO BLOOM
FROM BLOOM TO “OPEN BOLL”
The present maturing cotton crop Is :
probably more generally late , than has |
been any crop for many years. It. |
> therefore. Is an interesting problem ns to ;
i wlffct extent nnd how late we may count
on the “squares” or “forms” now as-
I sumlng rhajie aril V’- 1 . to appear. It Ims)
always been a debatable question how *
late in the fall blooms may bo counted
on to produce well-matured open bolls.
Os course, it depends finally on the
date of the first killing frost—a cold suf
ficiently sevci’’ to freeze- the untimely and
Immature bolls; and to some extent on
the character of the weather immediately
following. Every Tarnier is supposed to
know about what time suth kblin,! weath- j
er usually occurs. It varies considerably, 1
some years occurring a month, or even ■
six weeks, later than in others. I r< - ;
i member the abnormal season of ISI9. |
| There were only a few moderate freezes
I between January 1 and March 1- The. |
! farmers planted their crops of corn and ;
| cotton some weeks in advance of the |
I usual time. But on April 15. a severe
I freeze, including sleet ngd snow in some
I sect ions of Georgia, destroyed every stalk
I of cotton and corp and ruined the wheat
I and cat crops.
I However, the crons were again planted,
I the seasons following, throughout the sum-
■ mer and fall, were all that heart could
desire, and the •'killing frost” did not
occur fwhere I was) until late In Decem
ber. Indeed, I rerpember seeing cotton
blooms on the living plants on December
25! The result was very fine yields of both
corn and cotton. "Within the last thirty-
I five or forty yearg 1 recall but three
or four years in which the tradi
tional “top crop” amounted to anything,
although its promise was often used by
the “bears” to pull flqwa the market
prices
From Bulletin SB. issued from the office
! of Experiment station In 1898. I gather
I the following results qf some palnstak
' ing experiments, or rather, observations.
- made in South Carolina, near Augusta,
Ga .
‘ Plants coming up in May showed tl e
first “squares” (founs) in frpm twenty
five to thirty-nine days, the average be- ,
ing twenty-nine days from the time of j
their appc.Tranee above the surface.
i ”‘Forms’ r.pp ’aring in May bloomedl
in twenty-one thirty-two days, averag- |
ing twenty five days; forms .appearing I
in Juno bloomed In twenty to twenty
seven days, averaging twenty-four days;
forms appearing in July bloomed in twen
ty to twenty-six days, averaging twenry
feur days; forms appearing In August
bloomed in twenty-one to twenty-seven I
, days, averaging twenty-five days.
: ’’Blooms appearing In Junx ipade onen ,
! bolls in from forty-five to fifty-six days. ■
averaging fif.ty-twQ days; blooms appear- j
ing in July made open bolls In from sixty- ■
four to seventy-one days, averaging six-j
ty-tive days, and bloomp appearing In :
August made opet) bolls In forty-six to
j fifty-eight days, averaging fifty-two days.
| “Formq appearing May 21 made open
; bolls August 9; forms op. June 21 made
i open bolls September 21; forms on July
l 2-1 made open bolls October 8. and forms
I on August 21 made open bolls Novem-
I her 9.”
The reported results conclude as fol-
I lows:
I ‘‘As killing frosts occur about Novem
| her 17. It would seem that the latc-t
I blooms that can be counted on would be.
■ about September 1.”
It does not appear, however, that the
concluding (observation is quite justified
by the previously stated observed re
sults. It assumes that a, boll must be
come an "open boll” before a killing
frost occurs. This Is not necessarily
i true, and as a matter of fact is not us
ually true. In other words, a full-grown,
well-matured boll Is not usually seriously
injured by a frost that kills the entire
foliage of the plants and all Immature
bolls. Very many. If not all. of such bohs
will open good "white cotton” after the
frost, especially if the weather be open
and sunny for a week or ten days. My
observations lead me to say that (in lat
itude 33 degrees ami there about) the first
I killing frost occurs at from November 1
to November 10. and that bloom* oc
curing from September 1 to It; may us
ually be considered as safe to mature!
good bolls of white cotton, although these
bolls may not open until the first kill
ing frost. In other words, a bloojn oc-
I curbing early in September will usually
require a period of sixty days after the
date of blooming bcfoi* It will be suffi
ciently mature to withstand a killing
frost. So then, even in the latitude of 33
degrees blooms appearing September 1
may safely be counted on to make ef
fective bolls; and in the lower latitude
(somewliat) and much lower elevation of
the region near Augusta blooms occur
ring as late as September 10 may be
safely counted on to produce good cot
ton. under average conditions. It may.
therefore, be assumed as probable that

FARM CORRESPONDENCE.
WORMS IN HORSE.
AV. W. IV., Harmony Grove, Va.— I have
a mare that rubs all the hair off the. root,
of her tail every spring. She eats hearty
and seems perfectly healthy, and I would
be glad if you would advise me what the
trouble is, and what treatment to follow.
I also have a neighbor living on the same
place who has a horse which does tho
i same thing. 1 don’t think it can be al-
I together worms, although I can see One
i or two pass from her during a week.
I Answer—l see no reason to doubt that
j the trouble is due to tho presence of
! worms. The rubbing of the tail is one
! symptom of worms, but the actual seeing
I of the worms is positive proof of their
I presence. What more evidence do you
' require? Worms are generally caused by
the horse drinking stagnant water. So
the first precaution Is to provide pure well
or spring water for your horses. The
treatment for worms is as follows: Pul
verize and mix ono dram of pure cop
peras, one dram of tartar emetic and two
drams of cotton seed meal. Give the
above as one dose, morning and night,
I for one week. Then give a purge of one
! pint of raw linseed oil and one ounce
I spirits turpentine. After three weeks, re
j peat the entire treatment.
A REA'IEM'ER REVIEWED.
B. F. Jones, Beauregard, Miss., writes
j thusly to R. N. Fairer, Fayetteville. Ga.,
i and the latter sends the letter for publl
| cation:
"To It. N. Farrer, Esq., Fayetteville,
Ga.—Dear Sir: The answer to your sec
ond question appearing in Tho Constitu
tion of the 27th of July, In regard to sap
In a tree. Is not altogether correct. Tho
sap which ascends up the tree in it,
growing season does not pass off by
evaporation as so stated In the answer;
neither does It remain in the tree, nor in
the roots of file tree, but is consumed in
making new branches, fruits or other
products of the tree, according to the
nature of the tree. Also in the making
of another eoat of wood between the tree
and bark. Noto the rings of the log, or
the stump, when the tree is cut down.
Everything denotes a year’s growth of
the tree. Os course enough sap remains
in the tree to preserve life during the
winter. Instance an apple tree, laden
with apples produced by sap. Gather
and appropriate the apples and there is no
sap to remain in the tree.”
Answer—ln reply to the criticism of Mr.
.Tones, it may not bo necessary- to do more
than repeat the question of Mr. Farrer.and
my reply thereto as they appeared in the
Weekly of July 27, as follows: “(2) Does
any of the sap from trees go into tho
ground during the winter, or does it all
stay in the roots? Answer—‘2) No. The
sap stays in the tree except a small por
, tion that evaporates Into the air.”
If Mr. Jones will wipe hls glasses and
. read the question and reply more care
! fully ho will observe that the question
I was limited to the movement of the sap
"in winter.” and not to its functions
during the growing season. During the
latter period all the organs of a tree are
In full activity, and even more of the
sap “evaporates Into the air”—especially
through the leaves, than In winter. The
question did not lend Into the discussion
• of the general vital functions of tho tree
■ during the growing season, In regard to
i which Mr. Jones undertakes to Instruct
I Mr. Farrer and to correct my erroneous
! teachings. I do not undertake to answer
! a question unless prepared to do so, hav
> Ing long since learned to say, "I do not
' know.” R. j. r.
CUTTING FIRE WOOD.
G. L. 8., Cherryville. N. C.—l. I want to
know when Is the best time to cut poplar
timber.
2. When Is the best time to cut sweet
gum timber?
3. When Is the best time to cut. black
gum timber?
•I. When is the best time to cut maple
timber?
5. Will maple plank make a lasting
floor for a piazza? Some of my neigh
bors say there is a. certain time In the
moon to cut any timber t.o make good
dry fire wood. I have some tn cut, and T
i want tn use It all for tiro wood.
Answer—l know of no specially "host
time" to cut either of the kinds of tim
ber, for fuel purposes. I would cut them
at such llrne as suited my convenience.
I cannot say whether or not maple would
make, a lasting piazza floor, but I would
prefer good heart pine. If your neighbor
says that there Is a "certain time In the
moon" to cut fuel, he should say what
time. I think vegetation would not suffer
in any respect if the moon were removed
from the heavens, or If a thick blanket
were held over It perpetually. Don’t pay
any attention to such nonsense, and cut
your tire wood when your ax is sharp.
BERMUDA GRASS A BEST.
M. M. Romby, Dixie, Ea.—l want to sow
rye on bermuda grass land to try to de
stroy the bermuda grass. But if my seed
i should have Johnson in It. 1 would then
have two curses on hand. With us here
on Red river of all the. problems bermuda
grass and Johnson grass are the most
aggravating ones. Cut worms, catter
pillars, boll weevils, overflows are all
small items compared to this abominable
bermuda grass. 1 cannot speak for other
localities, but here on Red river the
bermuda has no fattening properties.
Mules, horses, cows, calves, yearlings,
hogs and pigs may graze on it from
March to November and not gain one-six
teenth of a pound per head. As to milk
cows, they will go dry in two months
grazing themselves full of bermuda grass
every day. Hogs will graze on It all day
every day, wear their teeth down to the
gums and get poorer; and the trouble is
we hardly ever can fatten them any more.
It seems very strange to us when we
read in the newspapers of people inquir
ing so much how to manage to get a
good bermuda grass sod and where could
they get cuttings or plants? To all such
Inquiries I can say that any one who
wishes can get. 10,000 tons in this county
anil can get SIO.OO per ton for taking' it
off. provided they do not leave any on
the ground. One piece the size of a pin
head in one season will grow to the size
of a dinner plate. And as for a hay, by
the time it gets hi«h enough to cut with
a mower It is so tough and woody that
It cannot be considered as first-class hay.
I think there is some properties in the
soil that cause it to be so worthless, it
is the same with sorghum; it grows finely
but. has no fattening properties and mak'-s
a very poor sirup. Tn our neighboring hill
country it makes a good sirup and good
feed. 'Way back in 18t>2 I belonged in the
Twenty-seventh Louisiana regiment; was
at Vicksburg, and there back of the town,
in those small valleys, I saw corn, ca
shaws and bermuda all growing finely on

the same land at the same time, but It
will not work at all in this country.
Bermuda takes position and will not al
low anything else to grow. I thought
then, while we boys made such raids on
those cornfields, that it I got back and
got me a farm I would like to have ber
muda grass on ft, and sure enough I
pulled through all the shots and shells
and eating mule and pea bread. Oh, liow
glorious it was when Grant Issued to us
full rations of pickle pork and flour.
Fortune favored me after the war. T
got back in a few years; got a. farm and
bermuda grass on it; but unless I can
check its growth it will not be long be
fore I will have nothing but bermuda,
and no good for anything. My advice to
all farmers Is do not let a sprig grow In
less than five miles of you, for if there
is a patch as large as your hat within
one or two miles of you, in less than nn
ordinary life time it will reach over and
take possession of your place.
Answer—Mr. Romby set out to ask that
some "honest farmer, who can sell him 6
or 8 bushels of rye, with no Johnson grass
seed in It, to write to- him at once, stat
ing price.” He wants it by the Ist of
October.
Our correspondent certainly has the
anti-bermuda grass fever, and he “has it
bad.” Rut I suspect that he is like
thousands of old-time farmers—opposed to
any kind of grass that will not stay
dead when it is killed. His letter will
amuse many an ardent friend of bermuda
'among the thousands of farmers east of
tho Mississippi, who regard it as the most
valuable grass that grows in tho south,
and 1 am one of those thousands. It
must ho a peculiar kind of soil that will
not grow bermuda and sorghum that will
fatten cattle and hogs, or make sirup.
\V hat does Dr. \V. C. Stubbs, the direc
tor of your experiment station, say
about it?
By the way, I was with General John
ston in the rear of Grant’s investing
army, during the siege of Vicksburg, in
May and June, 1863, and remember well
"how good" the roasting-ears tasted. 1

FORMULA NO. 2 ON FLORIDA HAM
MOCKS.
J. B. A., White Springs, Fla.—l wish
your advice on the following questions;
1. Is formula No. 2 the properly bal
anced fertilizer for new hammock land
to use. on cotton, and how much is nec
essary to use per acre? We use about
two or three hundred pounds kalnlt per
acre and get about two or three hundred
pounds of cotton on same.
2. \\ hy fs it that sweet potatoes crack
■open when planted on old land and are
free from cracks on new?
Answer—l. I am not sufficiently famil
iar with the "hammock” lands of Florida
to prescribe a formula for cotton, or oth
er crop, to be planted on such soils; but
my impression Is that very much less
nitrogen and possibly more potash than
is called for In Formula No. 2 would give
better results, say:
Acid phosphate 1,000 lbs.
Cotton meal 500 lbs.
Muriate of potash., 125 lbs.
Total 1.625 lbs.
I prefer, however, to suggest that you
write to tho "Director of Florida Experi
ment Station, Lake City, Fla.,” and ask
his advice.
2. Fresh land is better supplied with hu
ni» , which enables ;: soil to hold a.
supply of moisture, tho effect of which Is
to promote a continuous or uninterrupted
growth of the potato. Old land Is apt to
suffer for moisture during periods of
drought, and when the rains como a
rapid, new, sappy growth is induced,
which bursts the thickened and tough
skin of the potato, causing cracks.

ly ten months old. She now elves h

Answer—There are several causes
which may account for bloody milk. In
this case the obstruction caused by the
“lump” on the inside Is the cause, the
act of milking causing Irritation. This
lump may be a warty or other abnormal
growth on the inside surface of the milk
passage. An expert might remove the
obstruction now. but It probably wilt
be all right when she calves again. In
the meantime use great care in milking
that teat. If possible get a milking tube
and draw the milk from that teat by its
use. There is no harm in the milk.
RUSSIAN SUNFLOWER.
J. C. C., Hocha, Ga.—l would like to
have your judgment and experience in re
gard to the mammoth sunflower. I bought
seed from Hasting in spring, and they
have made n wonderful crop, now ma
tured, and my stock is fond of them.
Mules, cows, hogs and chickens seem to
like them. I would like to know if they
are of enough value as food to justify
me to raise them more extensively.
They are the largest I have ever seen.
Many of them measure 12 to 1* Inches
across and have something like quart of
grain in each large head.
Answer—The “mammoth" suflower
about which you Inquire is doubtless the
santo as Russian, which I have several
times planted. According to analysis the
seeds are highly nitrogenous as well as
fat forming food, and sunflower cake re
sulting from pressing out the oil, is still
more highly nitrogenous. The analysis
of the seed and cake are as follows:
Carbo- Fat or
Protein! hydrates, oil.
Sunflower seeds.. ..12.1 20.8 29.0
Sunflower cake.. ..31.2 19.6 1-.8
Cotton seed mea1....37.2 16.9 1-.-
Cotton seed 12.5 30.0 17.3
I have also Included In the table above
the analysis of cotton seed and cotton
meal, for the sake of comparisons. It
appears that there is some similarity
between the analyses of the cotton seed
and sunflower seed, and between cotton
meal and sunflower cake. Bartlett, of
the Maine experiment station (.A. R.
1895), says’ "With the same soil and
cultivation, corn produces a third more
protein anfts.’ice as much. >irbohydrates
as sunflower heads-"
BALANCED RATION.
P. L. J., Smithfield, Tex.—l want the
department to publish the relative feed
ing value of tnilo maize, kaffir corn,
sorplium heads, corn and cow peas. I
have all these and want to make a bal
anced ration for milk cows, horses, etc.
My intentions are to grind them nnd mix.
Also please state about what proportions
of each and how much for n feed for an
ordinary cow or horse, and any other
relative information will be gladly re
ceived.
Answer—Tho analyses and digestion co
efficients of seeds of kaffir corn, sorghurn
saccharatum and milo maize are sub
stantially tho same, as these ('and others)
are but different species of sorghum,
have no analysis of mllo maize at hand.
The following table gives what you
want:
Carbo-
Protein. hydrates. Fat. Ratto.
(1) .. 7.00 52.1 3.1 1:;>.9
(2) corn. 7.80 57.1 2.7 1:8.1
(3) Corn. 7.90 66.7 4.3 1:9.7
(4) .. 18.30 54.2 1.1 1’24
(5) corn 7.40 48.3 2.9 1:<.4
Average.... . - -
of 1,2, 3, 4.. 12.10 69.6 3.9 1:6.5
If you mix all tho first four feeds In
equal parts tho mixture would analyze
as stated In the "average.” The average
of 1, 2 and 3 would bo 7.57—58.6—3.4, and
the ration would be 1:8.7. You will re
quire the addition of some kind of rough
age as a distender to reduce the ratio to
about 1:5.4. I send you a bulletin which
will explain how to calculate as well as
give you the analysis cf many other
feedstuffs. Do you receive the bulletins
of your state experiment station at < ol
lege Station, Tex. ?
BEST OAT. THE APFLER OAT.
W B W Choccolocco, Ala.—l am go
ing 'into the oat raising business, and
write you for some information. I want
to sow altogether In the fall. I infer
from what you said In The Constitution
some numbers back that the Appier oat
was a rust-proof oat. 1. Am 1 correct? ...
How do they stand the winter? The Ten
nessee turf oat stand the winter all right,
but. they have the rust badly. Will you
please advise me what oat to sow for
best results.
Answer—The Appier oat. has been sown
continuously In the fall by the Georgia
Experiment Station for thirteen years
past. During that period it lias not been
known to rust at all. It stands the win
ter all right if sown in 16 to 18 inch open
furrows in the fall (October). The turf
oat is quite a hardy oat, but has no other
merit that I am aware of, and rusts badly.
If you want some of the Appier oat. send
money order on Griffin, Ga-, postoffice,
payable and addressed to Georgia Experi
ment' Station, Experiment, Ga, Price, $1
per bushel of 32 pounds, including sack,
f. o. b., Griffin, Ga. Os course I ad
vise you to sow the Appier.
JOHNSON GRAPS V. CRAB GRASS.
ALFALFA.
J. W. F., Clanton, Ala.—l. Please tel) me
how to manage Johnson grass. I sowed
•15 pounds of seed per acre last spring and
the crab grass Is taking the Johnson
grass, or outgrowing it. Will It do so an
other year? Should I plow it up next
spring'and fertilize it, or wait until It
Is two years old? I have cut it twice,
but it is mostly crab grass.
2. How do you think Alfalfa would do
m gravelly, piney wood and like ours
here?
Answer—l. The enemies of Johnson
grass will be glad to hear of a case in
which Johnson grass was whipped out by
so common a grass as crab. From all
that I have heard of Johnson grass, it
will be all right next spring, provided
there is a reasonably good stand of IL
It. will start from the roots that are now
established, while the crab grass will
have to get a fresh starfTrom the seed.
2. Tho character of the land is all right,
provided it be made rich enough for Af
falfa, or, say rich enough to make not
less than one bale of cotton per acre.
PROBABLY ANTHRAX.
B. F. Steed, Durant, Miss.—l have a
cow which Is poor and is stupid. The
skin underneath her jaws will become
swollen or forms a kind of sack, but
apparently doesn't bother her in eating.
Answer—lt Is probable that the swell
ing under the jaws is the beginning of
the disease ctPled anthrax, for which I
have often prescribed, and which is usual
ly fatal. Open the swellings freely with
a sharp knife and wash out ‘dally, sev
eral times, with carbolic acid (one ounce
to one quart of water). When suppura
tion sets in treat as you would an or
dinary abscess or sore.
RHEUMATISM OF PIGS.
j jr. Lancaster, S. C. —We have
some pigs that appear to be healthy, fat
and peart. They are only 3 weeks old,
About a week ago two of them got lame,
so they can hardly walk. Ona is affected
in only one hind foot, the other is lame
in all four feet. Their legs are a little
swollen in the knees and feet. If you can
tell ine from this description what is
wrong and what to do, you will greatly
oblige me. The pigs don’t seem to suffer
or have any fever.
Answer—The symptoms Indicate that
your pigs have rheumatism, which is a
very common disease of swine, especially
young pigs. The cause of it Is not known,
as pigs under all conditions are liable to
have it, whether well kept or not. The
treatment is ns follows: Keep the af
fected anima) in a comfortable place, and
if in good flesh give it a dose of Epsom
salts, one or two ounces, or two or three
drops of croton oil in a spoonful of sweet
oil, or it may be dropped in the mouth.
Croton oil seems to be a useful medicine
in rheumatism. Follow this by giving

ten to fifteen drops of oil of gaultheria to

adult hogs. For pigs two to three months
old give half the quantity, and to still
younger pigs proportionately less. Rub
the swollen parts with a mixture of equal
parts of turpentine and sweet oil.
A “STOVE-UP" MARE
J. L. W., Roy, Miss.—l have just traded
for a young mare 4 or 5 years old. She
looks like she has been blldly used. She
has a dull look and moves the same way.
Her appetite Is good, but it seems to be
a task for her to go. She drags her hind
feet like an old horse. Her urine Is very
yellow. Her bowels move oftencr when
at work than is natural. I will thank
you for any advice as to what to do for
her or with her. By proper care can I
bring her out?
Answer—Please refer to answer to In
quiry under head of “A Gipßy Mule.”
Give her a dose of one and one-half pints
of raw jlnsed oil. After the oil has operat
ed, mix up four ounces each of copperas
and saltpyter, well pulverized, and divide
into twenty-four doses. Give one dose
in a bran mash for three weeks. See if
she Is lousy, or wormy, and treat for such
If found. I advise against trading for
animals In bad condition unless you
know what is the matter and what to do
for them.
A GIPSY MULE.
H. G. D.. Red Hill.. Ala.—l have a mule
12 years old, more or less; appears to be
healthy and eats hearty, but all the winter
seems to be in lethafgic state; ears incline
to meet at the points; very slow in gear,
and hard to make keep up; bears the
weather finely. I am compelled to hit
several times in one place to have any
effect, then it merely twists a little and
resumes former attitude. Tongue stays
out about 6 inches all the time, but was
not out and appeared to be peart enough
when I exchanged with the gypsies. Hide
very tough and acts all the time like it
had a heavy load to pull with both wheels
locked. No trouble to keep; teeth long,
indicating not been in use long. If you
can't give me a remedy for the trouble,
I hereby banter the world for a trade or
swap, and being a subscriber to The
Constitution hereby ask your paper to
help me out by inserting this letter as
a gratuitous advertisement. However, If
the horse doctor can't give a remedy for
the complaint, if such It be.
Answer—l am sorry to say, in this case,
that "I don’t know what Is the matter."
It Is probably a case of "all overs." such
as I would expect tn trading with a band
of gypsies. My “Handy Dictionary" de
fines “gypsy” as “a wandering vagabond,"
and I suspect that you have had a "vaga
bond” horse put off on you. Possibly,
however. It was a "Bullet and Blossom’
trade, as told of In "Georgia Scenes;” and
It may be hard to say which was worst
ed in the trade unless you gave good
money, outright or as “boot.” (See. reply
to inquiry, "Stove-Up.”)
RISMKDY FOR HOG CHOLERA.
H. H. Ezell. Shady Dale, Ga.—l send
you to publish if you will a dead shot
to hog cholera. It may be of some bene
fit to some one; Arsenic, 1-3 pound,
cape aloes, 1-2 pound; blue vitriol, i-4
pound: black antimony. 1 oz. Dose, one
tcaspoonful once a day for three dajs,
then miss one day and repeat till cured.
For small hogs one-half the amount.
Give no water and feed dry food., L>l\e

give the dry medicine, putting It down
their throats with a long-handled spoon.
ANTHRAX, OR BLACK-TONGUE, OF
DOGS.
I, L. 11.. Rye. Fla.—l have just lost
a fine dog with a disease known here as
black tongue. cinh
About ten days ago he slob
boring and losing appetite. This con
tinned until death, with some swelling
of lips and throat and tongue seemed
Weaver hear of a dog going mm!
down here. My dog was effected the
same as many others In this section, and
all have died In about ten days
There are more or less cases here every
any such disease as black
tongue, and Is this it?
Is there any remedy, and what!
Whatever It Is, It seems to be con- |
tagions.
Answer—The disease known a- anthrax I
In cattle may also attack dogs that have
eaten of tho carcasses of cattle that died j
of anthrax, nnd "black tongue" Is one I
of the manv names of the disease T do
rot know any remedy for It. Perhaps
some reader can give remedy.
MULE DIED FROM EATING SAND.
E C Lee, Areadla, TA—T have just
lost' a good 'mule that died from eating
sand. Will you please tell me what
causes them to eat dirt or sand, and
what will ston them from eating It.
Also what will euro them after they
get sick from eating it?
Answer—The eating of dirt, manure,
nnd other unnatural substances by horses,
mules nnd cattle usually indicates that
condition of the digestive organs which
we call Indigestion, or dyspepsia. There
are manv causes of Indigestion: among
them, bad food, bad water, irregular
feeding, feeding a long time on the same
kind of food, worms, etc. Look for the
cause and then remove It. Feed regu
larly nnd always water before feeding.
Give ths mule a dose of eno ounce of
aloes, or one pint of raw linseed oil
at onc e. If there is any swelling of the
bowels give a heaping tablespoonful,
twice a day, of a mixture of equal parts
of common soda, powdered gentian and
powdered gentian root, In half pint of
water as a drench.
COLIC. "BGTS” IN HORSES.
To V. Toole, Castleberry, Ala.—With
out publishing your letter, which is not
necessary, I reply as follows: Your mare
was doubtless subject to attacks of either
cramp colic or flatulent colic, probably
the latter, due to either one of several
causes, such as irregular feeding, sud
den changes of food, too long fasting and
then too much food, new hay or new
grain large quantities of green food,
t-oured food. Indigestible food, bad teeth, j
crib-biting, etc.
Bots are the larvae of the gad-fly.
These hatch from the eggs laid In the
horses’ legs and breast which are taken
into the mouth and swallowed by the
animal as young maggets, or bots. Al
most all horses in the country and dur- ;
Ing the first year of a country horse tn
a city, have bots. but It is exceedingly
r-re that thev produce any symptoms at
ail. "Bots" Yiever "eat through” the
stomach as they have no eating, or biting,
organs, and only take their food by
sucking. The supposed ruptures are the
result of a violent attack of colic, aided,
doubtless, by the animal throwing him
self to the ground. The bots are of
no use to the horse, but, as already
stated, they very rarely cause any
symptoms, and there is no way to dis
lodge. When full grown they let loose
and pass out with the dung and go into
the ground. The only way I know of to
prevent bots is to brush off 'he nits
every day. '

KEPT BALE THIRTEEN YEARS
Anderson Sells Cotton He Raised
in 1890.
Eufaula, Ala., August I?.—rPneylal i -
Whatever may ho said as to cotton .nr..l
its various conditions, it ! r . believed that
Barbour county farmers can boast of
some that no other southern state can
lay claim to. Thomas L. Anderson, who
resides 16 miles south ofj the city, drove
in toyyn today with what was naturally
supposed to bp the first bale of the sea
son. but it l s thought it will prove to
bo exactly the opposite. The bale was
raised by him in 1890. and many think It
is decidedly the oldest in the state, to
say the least.
Mr. Anderson said that he had no oc
casion to sell it, but, learning that the
price had advanced beyond 10 cents, he
thought it time to let it go. Thirteen
years ago i.t was weighed and placed
under a. shelter at his home, and has not
been disturbed since that time. Today it
was sold and the weight only differed 2
pounds, losing from, 486 t.o 484. It was in
a perfect state of preservation and classed
middling. It was purchased by the Che
walla cotton mills here at 12 cents a
pound.
Mr. Anderson is one of the few farmers
who believes in raising home supplier In
abundance and making his cotton crop
surplus. He has never had occasion to go
in debt, and always comes out ahead,
despite pooj; seasons and low Dries cot
ton.
He smiles at hard times and Is al
ways in a condition to stem whatever
tide of adversity may oefali hls section
in the way of short crops.
FETID ENDS IN TWO DEATHS.

Guthrie, Okla., August 10.—As a result
of a neighborhood feud. William Cooper
and his son, James Cooper, are dead, and
Sam Barrett severely wounded. The
parties were farmers living near Oleta,
Woodward county, and bad blood has ex
isted for over a year. The parties met at
a public well, and in the altercation young
Cooper shot Barrett in the face with a
load of shot. Barrett then seized a shot
gun and killed both the. Coopers. Barrett
is in jail at 55'oodward.
