Current Comment.

TTANGE in the horse is identical
1M with itch in the human body,
. 49, and is infectious, attended
with intolerable itching caused by
minute insects, known as acari.
They are first observed by the aid
of powerful microscope along the
name and the root of the tail, caus-
ing much irritation of the skin.
Spots denuded of hair in time make
their appearance, which gradually
run into scahby patches. AS the
disease advances, it thickens and
FUCKERS the skin, particularly of the
neck, withers and loins. This dis
ease requires careful management
and close attention for short time
to effect cure. NANCY horses have
been removed from their stalls,
washed with various preparations,
put into another stable, and com.
pletely freed from the effects of the
disease; hut on returning to their
old stalls, or using their unwashed
harness, the disease returns. The
insect ,is rubbed off upon the sides Of
the stall, or clings to the harness,
again TO come in contact with the
animal. Treatment: Scrub the ami
NAL all over (using moderately
soft brush) with acetic acid, then
turn into box stall away from that
in which he has been standing. One
or two thorough washings will usu-
ally suffice. The harness must un-
dergo the same operation, and not
be used for at least two months; the
stall thoroughly cleaned and white
washed. A mixture of sulphur, oil
and turpentine is highly recommend
ed in such cases. Michigan Farmer.

T B. ELDER, writing from Texas

"I planted last year twenty four
acres of contour acres 3x3 feet,

Now, then, here is the difference:

made fifteen bushels more per acre,
one-half as much hoeing to do, and
between tbs corn rows raised peas.
beets, peanuts, sweet potatoes and a
565 pound bale of cotton that brought

climatic combination in any other
cotton producing country" The
southern United States will doubt
less continue to hold these advan-
tages over the rest of the world to
the end of time. When planters
learn to make two or three bales of
cotton where one grew before, and q
finer and better staple, this monop-
oily of the worlds cotton supply will
be nearly complete.

TN report upon varieties of black
| berries tested at the Missouri ex-
pertinent station, We note the
statement that "the most profitable
variety was the early harvest, on
account of early ripening, the whole
crop being disposed of before the
othes varieties were ready to mar
ket, and also before the wild black
berries were ripe. The two varie-
ties that ranked next were Kittatiny
and Agewam. It may be well to
state that the lowest poins the lner-
curry reached during winter was
seven degrees below zero
In any good farming sections the
low places that are too wet for crop
ping can be underdrained more
cheaply and effectually than is pos
sible by trying to draw dirt to fill
them up. Usually dirt that can be
procured will not be so rich as that
it will cover up, and the labor Of
filling up hole, even when dirt has
to be carried only a short distance,
is much greater than those not hav-
ing experience in such work would
suppose. The drain will, at small
expense, dry the wet spot much
better than filling in could do.

MIR. w. w. GARIG, of Baton
N Rouge, furnishes the Times
Democrat with the following
preventive against that terrible pest,
the buffalo gnat, which he is very
sure is a specific: To one ounce of
pennyroyal add four ounces Of lard.
With q feather apply the mixture to
the ears, face, flank and belly Of the
horse or mule, and the gnats viii at
once take their departure. One
application will keep the pests away
for several hours: 1t is just as
'effectual for horse flies. "When I

U7HE Southern Farm says: lin
regard to the South retaining its
supremacy in the cotton mark
cts of the world, it may be said that
its superiority as a cotton country
is due not to length of staple only,
though that is one advantage it has,
but also largely to its climate. The
warmth of our summer and the dis
tribution of rainfall through it has
much to do with the successful pro-
duction. The spring and early sum-
mer are usually favorable to the
growth of stalk; the increasing heat
and dryness of later summer and
autumn, with the GOODNESS of the
nights of the latter, are very favora-
bic to maturing and ripening Of the
crop. There is no such favorable

TOASTED COTTON SEED
ID George III. Hogan, Ennis, Tex,

> II
1d George H. Hogan, Ennis, Tex,
writes the Stockman and Far
mer: There is no forage plant a
success in any country that will not
in some way reproduce itself; and
just on this point | wish to raise a
note of warning. / notice in some
of our best agricultural journals oc-
casionally, an article advocating
some new forage plant with the
most wonderful merits as to yield
and quality. II is needless for me
to say how good paper can be led
into such egregious errors; but led
they are, and will be as long as man
has any confidence in man, and
printers can be made available to
further the ends of selfishnese.
Therefore it is well for the novice,
in such matters, to adopt old Davy
Crockett's motto: Be sure you're
right, and then go ahead
Among the advertised humbugs
for our latitude (32 degrees) l have
tried 'Rena Luxurem, or Teosinte.
There is no possible way to make
it reproduce here, as it is an annual
and never natures its seed. | ex-
pect for latitude %, or perhaps 80
degrees, it might do, but with us
most anything is better. 1t is very
susceptible to the first chill in the
weather, and must have as long as
ribbon cane to make seed; why
should men throw away the chance
to raise peas, sorghum, milo maize,
alfalfa, field corn, or a dozen other
old and well tried forage plants, in
order to experiment with some hum
bug with a high-sounding title. So
we say go slow or experiments; try
them If you want to, but don't
spend much money on them. Pay
for and read at least more than one
good agricultural paper and rest as
sured that there will always be some
one writing in them who will expose
frauds, even at the expense of per-
sonal popularity. Will write up
some more of them shortly"

"There are two things that will cure

The Electrical World calls attention to a
prophecy which writer in Harper's Maya
zine hazarded in the year 1856. This
dreamer predicted that in the year 1000
men would be able to attach an ear tube to

away.
Mr. Stanley relates that one day while

opium cures they detected the unquestioned
presence of morphine.
Another fondly believed story has been

whole thing out most carefully, and with
NJ. Bartholdi has come to the conclusion
that the Colossus of Rhodes, such as it is

possibly have existed for technical reasons.
The most careful experiments have shown,

Dear Sir An item in your issue of May
10 makes such a distortion Of the actual
facts, 80 far as the state Of Kansas is con
cerned, that | venture 10 write a correction.
The item was as follows
The state of Kansas pays a bounty Of one dol.
lar on every wolf scalp taken within Its limits,
aud ii has been found out that over $4,000 has
b--en paid out for a single sack Of these scalps
which had been presented over and over again
The state deserves to suffer " Il was not bright
enough either 70 take the bounty scalps into its
own possession or To put a marx on them that
would prevent fraud beng practiced.
Let me say, first, that the state Of Kan
sas pays no bounty whatever for wolf scalps
taken within its limits, therefore it is not
liable to be caught in the expensive way
your paper mentions The facts upon
which your article is based are somewhat
as follows A certain county away out in
western Kansas, some $50 miles from To
peka, has, for a couple Of years or so, been
paying a bounty Of one dollar each for
wolf scalps, and it is true that a ring of
corrupt officials in the aforesaid county did
obtain possession of some $3.50 of the
county funds by duplicating the presenta-
ton Of a sack Of scalps on which bounty
was paid. The scalps in question were
first presented by A, then by b. then by c,
and so on until it again became AS turn to
lead the circuit and receive the bounty, the
county treasurer, of course, being in the
ring Let it be said to the credit Of the
citizens of the county that the fraud was
discovered in due time, and the offenders
have been put in line To receive their just
punishment.
