shedding its jaw teeth; the bone is enlarged on
each side of the nose and just under the eye; Is

Your description indicates bighead. 1t is usual,
however, for the patient to manifest pain ON pres
sure. There is absolutely no cure for 1t, ana SO
soon as you are satisfied that it is case OF big
head, you should kill the animal and put nm OUT

Q. We cannot answer the above, and hope some
reader will.
r. S. W., Sheriff., Ark.-WiI home ground cot
ton seed meal be as efficient Fertilizer as tht put
up by the OIL mill? If not, why: Mhat PROCESS
does the meal have to go through?
The cotton seed meal as made by the oil mill has
been rid of the huls and the greater part OF the
oil. That prepared at home is usually the whole
seed ground up. The oil is of no value as fertil-
zer and the bulls very little. One LOCO pounds OF
whole cotton Seed or the same ground up, are
about equal in fertilizing value to $50 pounds OF
the cotton seed meal rs sold by the oil mills.
If Won wish to prepare mixture as n manure
for cotton the following is about right 800 pounds
of acid ph0phate; 1G0 pounds OF kaInite; 25o
pounds of cotton seed meal or instead of tie cot
ton seed meal, about 800 pounds CT ground cotton
seed. If you wish it for corn or oats. double the
quantity Of meal or seed.
L. ". W. Smiths r. O.. S. CT incosea stock of
grass that find growing very plentiful in railroad
bitches and public roads. think 1t Is Timothy; If
so | wish to plant some, ana would like to nave
your advice how to plant and tcrtilizc II. MY SOIL
makes fine red clover, and what is known as hen-
lucky bluc grass grow. wild IN All low places
Would this soil he likely to suit Timothy
The grass is Timothy 1t requires good rich
soil, and does best low moist soils. 1t is very
exhaustive to the soil. 1t is not a good pas
ture grass but is the standard hay grass of the
north and west. Prepare the land Wei by plowlng
and narrowing. Sow fifteen pounds per acre in
September or October, applying at the same time
several hundred pounds of high grade ammonl-
ated guano. In the spring, after the grass starts
into new growth, top dress with fifty to one hun
dred pounds of nitrate of soda. 1t should be cut
(nowedl above the second Joint, as it will then re-
cover more promptly than If cut near the ground.
You may mix with it the seed of red top-about
~ bushels of the latter, to Il pounds OF Timothy
seed.
BE r., Ashburn, Fla have a mule that has
become subject to collie. She is in good order and
look. to be in good health. What will cure this
trouble?
There are two kinds of collie, spasmodic and
hatuent
Your mule is probably affected with spasmodlc
collie In this kind there is swelling up, but an
intense pam in the colon Oarge intestine). 1t is
generally due to ravenous habit of eating and
drinking. Give a mild dITusible stimuant as
early as possible either this: 2 ounces whisky,
ounce extract of ginger, u pint of water, as one
dose. Or this: n ounce sweet spirit of nitre, l
ounce laudanum, "a ounce extract of ginger, u
pint OF water as one dose. Always give warm
water injections with very little soap in it, Give
him soft rOomy place in which to wallow, and
rest Tor day two with soft food. When the
worst ofthe pain over, little exercise walking)
Will be good. IT, after giving the first dose the
pain continues more than half an hour repeat
every half hour, but if it does not yield to three
or four doses, give, one dose: quart linseed
oil raw, u ounce choroform. If not relieved in
half hour, give grains morphine In q ounce of
water as an enema using syringe.
AF g. Shelby, Ala. have about two acres
In an orchard that want to seed to clover; will it
do to sow clover with oats in February? Can get
a cutting of clover the first year? How much clio
yer seed to the acre. and how best 10 prepare the
land? What kind OF clover is best for pasture?
@ How will cotton seed meal and phosphate do
rs Il fertilizer for oats and clover, and how much
OF each per acre?
g. What is best to sow on pea stubbe for winter
pasture, rye or barley? how much TO the acre?
Any Information to the above will be thankfully
received.
l. If the orchard contains well grown bearing
trees clover will not hurt it materially. We would
advise you to SOW the clover seed alone in Ucto-
Der. Clover sovyn in February, alone, will give
moderate cutting, If the land is good. Red clover,
little white clover, and orchard grass makes
good pasture.
2 Cotton seed meal and acid phosphate, half
and half, is good fertilizer for oats, but cotton
seed meal is not suitable fertilizer for clover,
which does not require nitrogen (or, at most very
little to start it, but does require phosphone acid
and potash, especially the latter.
3. Rye, at the rate of one Dushel per acre. Bar
ley requires rich land
J. B. v, Elberton, Ga-Being an old subscriber
of The Constitution, noticing many questions YOU
have answered pertaining TO the diseases and cure
of horses and mules, write you this postal ask

five months he had 1t when got him. He works
well to pillow or wagon. At first he moves of lame
1t requires good judge to distinguish between
"shoulder lameness" and sweeney The former is
common, while the latter is comparatively rare
Long standing cases Of shoulder lameness are gen
orally incurable When there is heat swelling
to the touch and lameness, it is what is
called shoulder lameness. Il not chronic yours is
evidently use hot lamentations half hour at
time, three or four times day, adding salt to the
hot water. After the skin has dried, then apply
any good liniment (Alexican Mustang is good
Rub 1t well in morning and night. If taken in
time, and the animal be allowed to rest during
treatment, cure will usually be effected If this
fails, blister with !. ounce canthardes and Q
ounces Of lard. Apply the blister over the shout
der joint not on the blade. Sweeney is treated by
mild blsterS, using the ointment above described
and rubbing in gently, and repeating every two
weeks for two or three months, and letting the
animal be at grass. Gentle exercise is better than
absolute rest.
