L. H.. Spring Hill, Miss.-What is the
| matter with my wheat? 1 sow on cay,
| land after cloyer, cotton or corn me lana a
| will make one-half bale cotton per az +
| and frequently more, and can Ul1y s.
| about ten bushels of wheat TO the dClo.
The heads are too short can MAKE -
fine straw in any country, but cam .ni,
make heads long enough. 1t is good gram.
1t is something lacking in the soil or VarlGy
of wheat? l sow what is called reo May
| wheat.
We have no doubt the short heads are
due to the variety sown. The early May
wheat generally produces short heads SUI
what objection can there be to snort heaaS
if you secure a good grain ana Sood ylelo
Try a few plots in some other variety, say
fulcaster, or fultz, or purple straw. IheSe
are heavier yielders and produce longer
heads but are not so certain as the red
May.

r, H. A, Red Land. La-0D DO CHAMBERS
| cause a discharge continually and from
! both nostriis? 60 Are they accompanied
| by cough? g. How long do horses live
usually with CHAMBERS? a. A description
| OF the disease will be appreciated.
There are two forms of glanders acute
| and chronic. There is a constant and in
| creasing discharge of very offensive matter
from both nostrls, and this matter will
sink when dropped in water. There will
be staring coat, red, weeping eyes, loss
OF appetite, quick pulse, high temperature
quick breathing, more or less cough a
grayish-purple color of the lining of The
nostrlls. The discharge is at first thin
and Watery but soon becomes yelowish and
sticky and looks like melted butter The
portion between the nostrils becomes III
cerated, and small yellow points with pur- |
pie bases come up and burst, making the |
discharge bloody for the time, etc. In |
pad attack the animal will die in a week |
or two, but the course of the disease is
variable. Sometimes horse or mule will
appear to recover from an acute attack
and live for years; but he is always liable
to relapse and is able to communicate the
disease to others.
