ED. So. LIvE-SToCK JOURNAL:
For heavens sake don't think
wish to monopolize the columns OF
the JOURNAL. 1 excuse myself on
the ground that what interests me,
interests others as we'll. If you
don't think so, throw my questions
into the waste basket. My feelings
are not so sensitive as most subscri-
bers. Too many of us are lazily re-
framing from taking part in life's
battles now for fear of having our
hobbies punched in the ribs. al
ways believe in plenty of room for
everybody and don't mind plain
talk as long as there is no malice.
l have lately bought Devon bull
aid expect him to have acclimation
fever within the next three months,
and will be glad to have your idea
about it.
Whenever | can be of service to
you just toot your horn.
Yours with best wishes,

What are we here for if not to an
swer inquiries, and impart through
the paper such information upon
live stock and agricultural matters
as we are able to furnish, when re-
quested to do SO by subscribers? We
invite inquiries. We do not prom
ise to answer them all, for sometimes
we are incompetent to do SO; and
sometimes our replies are not the
best that might be given, but we
promise always to exert our best ef-
forts to the task. And it should
notbe expected OF the editor that he
possess the knowledge, and have
the facilities at command, to answer
satisfactorily every miscellaneous
inquiry and every complicated ques-
tion that is propounded by our read
ers. But tbs expected that every
subscriber should feel it his privi-
lege, if not duty, toward his fellow
farmer and stockman, to help in fur
nishing the information sought for.
What is the JOURNAL for, if not a
medium for interchange of views
and swapping information between
reader and reader? Send on your
inquiries then, and if they are not
answered by one, they may be by
another. The inquiry department
is always one of the most interesting
rs well as the most beneficial de.

What Churn Bestg

Please let me know what churn
you consider best, the rectangular,
barrel, or Davis Swing? / want the
best. M. Ell.
All are best. In other words, the
barrel, rectangular, Davis Swing
and box churn are all operated on
the same principles, with no inside
fixtures, and one is as good as an
other. Some like one kind, some
another. 1t is more matter of
taste than anything else. By buy
ing either kind you will make no
mistake. The quality of work per-
formed by each is the same, the
power to operate the same. These
churns all work on the concussion
principle. Shut your eyes and make
choice. I

Warts on Cows Teats.

Ed. So. LIVESTOCK JOURNAL:
Please give remedy for warts on
cows teat. w. d. t.
Kilgore, Texas.
If the wart is large one and its
base broad, remove with a knife
none of the wart should be left. If
the wart is small, apply nitric acid.
Don't let the acid come in contact
with sound portions of the skin.
Pendulous warts or those with mar
row pedicle, are best removed by
tying waxed cord tightly around
it. 1t will drop off in few days.

I'D. 30. LIVESTOCK JOURNAL:
am much pleased with the whole
JOURNAL, and always speak good
word for it, but particularly with
two articles in it recently, one by
DR.. Dalrymple of the A. & M. Col
lege, La, on that cruel and barba-
rous custom, Gas well as injurious
and useless) of burning out the dis
ease called lampas in horses. 1
have talked against this custom tor
the last thirty-five years, as well as
against that more cruel one of cut
ting out the hooks from the eyes of
horses, done in my observation, by
the most ignorant of men, some of
them not knowing even how to read,
much less knowing anything of the
anatomy of the eye. The shoeing
of horses in southern Mississippi
and Louisiana, with a few excep-
tional cases outside of the cities. I
always regarded as useless, if not
injurious. 1 am past the three score,
allotted to man, have owned many
horses "befo de war;" been hard
riding fox-hunter over the hills of
southern Mississippi, and afterwards
a deer hunter in the swamps Of
Louisiana; and with buggy horse,
saddle horse, and hunting horse,
never had one shod, or the lampas
burnt out, or the hooks cut out, in
all my life, and very rarely have
had lame horse. l am great be-
lever in the "big medicatrix natu-
raj" plenty of good nourishing food,
make the animal or man comforta-
BILE, and many demands can be tided
over.
John P. Bond of Bartlett, Tenn. is
perfectly correct when he says the far
mer himself is in a great measure to
blame. / am heartily in sympathy
with the unions and alliances of the
farmers, but / tell them who talk to
me on the subject, the best alliance
is RELIANCE upon yourself; we can
not have a whole approximating to
perfection, unless the atoms of
which this whole is made up prove
it in some degree at least approach
ing perfection. Now every farmer
should follow the good suggestions
made by Mr.. Bond, thereby he
would become to certain degree
independent; then unions of free
farmers would be power in the
land, and how is this to be accom-
plished? By educating the people,
giving them a taste for reading ag-
ricultural papers and books, and as
my friend and relative, J. Burruss
McGehee writes, agricultural Col
leges the hope and glory of our land;"
SO they are, and why ANY farmer
should hesitate, the hundredth part
of a second, to vote an ample appro-

With all the precautions that are
exercised, and however vigllent one
may be to comply with the condi-
tions that experience has shown as
best to be pursued in warding off an
attack of the fever, we seriously
doubt whether any animal brought
South from q Northern latitude has
ever escaped it, though the disease
may have made its appearance in
such mild form that its presence
was not observable. While we may
not hope to entirely escape the dis
ease in our stock, yet we may take
such precautionary measures as will
largely mitigate against its bad ef-
fects. The diet must be laxative in
its nature. A liberal use of wheat
bran is recommended, and no heat
ing food like corn. Supplement the
bran with moderate quantity of
oats, and what hay is given let it be
sound and tender. Early cut hay
is best, as it contains less woody f.
bre and hence less liable to induce
a constipated condition of the bow
els. The bowels must be kept open
all the time and any constipated
condition overcome by the intelligent
use of foods and medicines. The
stock should be separated exclusive
ly from the other cattle. Let the
stalls be kept clean and whltewash
them frequently, using liberal sup
ply of carbolic acid in the wash.
See that they do not take on too
much fesh-an excess of flesh is
favorable to the introduction and
greater fatality of the disease. Don't
60 to the other extreme and keep
them poor, but in moderate flesh.
Let them have access to plenty of
pure water at all times. When the
weather is cool, turn out to pasture;
when warm, keep under shelter
might be turned out late in the eve-
ming on hot days, after the sun is
not SO warm, and put back again un-
der shelter before dark. The same
in the morning before the sun
comes down hot, put under shelter.
On cloudy days they may Craze.
In wet weather keep housed. 1t is
possible no evil results may occur
by turning them out at SUM- down
and allowing to remain out all night,
taking up at sunrise.
Should the animal show symptoms
of fever, see that the bowels are
open by some kind of a purgative,
and keep them open; reduce the
feed and let it be mainly wheat bran.
Give water every hour at least; offer
it, whether the animal drinks or
not. For the fever, give 20 drops
of aconite every three or four hours,
until fever is allayed.
This is the best information that

SIBERIAN HORRORS.

Despatches from Tomsk, the central Syberian depot for prisoners, say that the prison now holds 490 healthy and 275 sick exiles, but that in 1886 the number of exiles brought to the prison was 15,1s4, of whom only IA ,S66 were transported further into the interior. In 1887 the arrivals numbered 14,277, in 1888 they numbered 15o15, and in 1889, up to September, they numbered over 12,OO0. Of these prisoners, there were taken to the interior 13.522 in 1887, 14,239 in 1888 and II ,000 in 1889. The daily average num- Der of prisoners in 1883 was 1880 and the daily average number on the sick list was 396. A majority of the sick had typhoid fever. An official report declares that, owing to a lack of room, hundreds of sick beds had to be placed in the open air, while the temperature was low as six degrees Reaumur, and that, in consequence of this exposure, the mortality among the sick was enormous.
