Now she seems to feel well at.<; outs h'ai’tily. but her skin Is com ing off in grei't patches. Cun anything nr done tor her? Should she be kept • from other stock? Would it b® best to kill her at once? Answer -From your description of the i symptoms I tm inclined to believe that I thp condition of yoUr cow is due to the ■ injudicious application of kerosene in the . effort to get rid of the lice. in other words, you have ,blistered her on a large l i-'crrle. I am not confident that this is the ‘ cause, for J do not kfihw how much i kerosene you applied, but tho following i treatment will be proper In any event: If there seems to be much itching apply , to all affected pan* a solution of one ounce of boracio acid to 32 ounces of water. Apply several times a day until [ incrustation la well established. Then ' apply once a day o. mixture of two ounces I of creolin to a guart of sweet oil, or the benzooted oxide of zlno ointment, apply i Ing thoroughly. It surely is not the true skin, but simply tho petdermis that is i peeling off. [ Moral: Get rid of cattle ticks as often advised In this department. SLDEI’ONE OR RINGBONE. I .1, IV. WyTio. Tioin.

'When I drive him hard he can’t I hardly wa".. 1 think It is ringbone. It Is effected between bls ankle Joint ami I hoof. It seems Hite a hard gristle, and ihe will not let riift mash it. Please glvo j me a remedy if you can. Answer—lt 13 probably what tn called i tddebone, if it is Just above the hoof, and ils of the same nature as ringbone. The first requisite In the treatment 1s abso ' lute rest. If there Is heat and soreness i In the part fas you Intimate there Is) I keep the part wet with a lotion of 1-2 i ounce of acetate of lead In ono quart ! of water, by means of a cloth wrapped i around the ankle. Contlnua this for a I so-w days, then Blister by rubbing In well : an ointment of 2 drams of cantharides : ono dram of blnlodlde of mercury and 2 i ounces of lard. Rub on one-third of this ' with the fingers. After twenty-four ; hours wash It off and grease with lard. I Repeat every second week until three or I four blisters shall have been applied, i Keep the horse's head tied up while tho ' blister is on. If the above treatment does not cure it. resort must be had to a red i hot firing iron. It is probable, however, that, he will never bo fit for road work, ■ farther than a walking gn.lt. ‘•WASHY” HORSE. J. Plains, Go.—l am a subscriber i of your paper anil would like to have some Information concerning a horse. I have a large horse about 10 years old that is very poor. I have, owned him only 'a short while, but the parties that did { own him say he has been In his present . j condition some time II" eats plenty, has plenty of life about him and works all j right, but his food passes away ten often land too much. Driving him a distance of ; ' o miles his bowels will act as much as seven or eight times, and it will finally j get very soft. He doesn’t seem to be sick ■at all, but will not fatten. Please name i : disease and give remedy; also tell me I what sort of food and how much and j j Low often to feed him. • Answer—Your blor.-a Is probably one of that class linown as “washy,” or pre disposed to diarrhea, especially when driven Immediately after feeding or : watering. Such animals are usually long ’ bodied, long-legged and narrow, flat sides. Nothing can be done, as a. r ile, for . ' such cases in the way of curing them. It i ’ is ,i constitutional weakness. But much ■ can be done In the way of prevention by ■ caret ul feeding, three times a day, in ' , moderate quantities of good, wholesome, ; wound food and pure water. Always water j before feeding and not after and never I drive Bitch an animal within an hour . ■ after feeding. If there is much flatulency [ ac: ompanying the diarrhea It will bo ' w 11 to give ono or two tablespoonsful of ■ commfin snub, after'effling, and If the dis ; charges have a very disagreeable odor give I ounce of sulphite of soda or l j j dram of carbolic acid in water twice a ! day.

I It is the best farmer’s paper 1 ever saw. | Answer —I. Your hogs probably have | I contracted indigestion from too long feeding on the same food, or foods that are very similar in character, such as ‘ peanuts and chufas It would be well to • ■hange them to a now pasture, for a week or two and different food. Hooked food is not likely to correct the evil. Give them plenty of ashes, salt, and charcoal, placing I it. so that they can partake of cither at ' will; also see that they get pure, cl’an I water to drink. I 2. As a rule It Is hardly worth while to treat a single fowl, unless it be a. spwclal ily valuable one. It Is probable that your rooster has paralysis, due to overfeeding and want of- xerclse. i’hange food and reduce the quantity, and let it be of a non-tatte:iing character ns wheat bran or cracked wheat, bone raspings, etc. It is not likely that yon can cure the rooster, but you may prevent future cases. 3.

BLACK ROT OF THE CABBAGE. i (By G. McCarthy, in North Carolina Press Bulletin No. 12.) i This disease In cabbage Is characterized ■by the ovterm«*»* leaves nf the plants, I n»ar the edges, turning first yellow, then [ brown and finally black. Tho disease spreads downward Into the main stem j and through this Into the I®ior leaves of j the head. "While no plant of tho cabbage . kind is wholly exempt, those of a loose or spreading habit llko the co l.'i.rd aie less damaged than those whi'-h foi.n close heads, like the flat Dutch type, the disease Is very contagious, spreading from plant to plant in the field. I* re quently largo patches of cabbage appar ently healthy one day are found soft and rotten the next. The disease Is always most virulent In hot. moist weather. Cause of tho D!sease»~l3lack rot of the cabbage and other plants of the same family. Is caused by a germ or microbe, bacillus campestrls. This germ lives from year to year In the soil, attacking with Increasing virulence successive crops of the cabbage kind, until at longih It becomes practically Impossible to grow these crops except upon fresh or virgin soli. The germ Increases rapidly only during tho warjner months of the year, or while the temperature Is above 80 degrees Treatment—The treatment for black rot : i must bo preventive. Spraying Is of no . value In this cane. Rotatl<i of crops so i [that no crop of the cabbagg family shall . come upon the same field oftener than 1 j once In three or four years Is the first i .and most essential precaution. The seed i bod should be made upon frosh ground i ' each year, nr the bod should bo burned ' over ns is done for tobacco beds, to kill j I possible germs In the soil. Cabbage, tnr- I nip and all other crops of this family should be grown only during the cooler . months, or while the temperature is be low 80 degrees F. If only a few scattered . plants in field show the characteristic ; . yellowing or blackening of the leaves, i j such plants should ho pulled up and I burned. Do not throw diseased cabbage 1 leaves or plants upon the manure pile. ; i The germ can live tor an indefinite period I in the manure, and will be scattered over the til-ids with the manure. In cultivating a field '.vl-l’-ii contain; dls'-ased cabbage or other plants of this family, before go- . Ing into another field cL'.in all too's caro- . fully and thoroughly to avoid carrying , , the germs into fields as yet free from them. Wnge a vigorous war against i shepherd's purse, popper grass and all 1 otL.er v. • h. of the cabbage family, as ; these may serve to propagate tho disease during years in which other crops occupy 1 ■ tho lr.n l. ; Except as stated above no particular variety of cabbago Is exempt, and no ‘ sjiecla! brand of. s< ed will ensure freedom • from the pest.

Horn Henry Horne, of Macon, spent yesterday In Atlanta and talked inter estingly of Georgia farming during a con versation in the lobby of the Piedmont, where he. was ague; I. “From an agricultural standpoint, I doubt very much if the state fair in Macon has ever been surpassed in the I country,’ he said. "it was simply a ■ revelation to visitors who before had , been unaware of tho marvelous fertility ■ and producing powers of Georgia lands. j "While the fair was In progress a gen tleman from • n ; -igo, a large grain dealer there, was visiting me,.
