gushing odor, and it's vapor is heavier than
air. The liquid soon volatilizes and the va
por sinks down among the grain, killing
every insect that may be infesting the grain.
One pound of the liquid to two bushels of
peas is sufficient. Caution! The sulphide
is very inf1ammable and, therefore, there
must be no fire about. After treating one
bin or box full of grain--twentyfou hours
is long enough-the grain may be put in
bags and the bin filled again and treated as
before. If your druggist does not keep thu
carbon bi-Sulphide get him to order 1t Tor
you. 1t costs about 10 or II cents a pound
by the tfty-pound can.
2. Yes, it is the way new varieties are Sc
cured. But to get the seed to terminate,
etc, requires a degree Of skill that few far
rnerS can bring to bear. 1t would not pay
you to engage in it, unless you are an eX-
pert. The seeds washed of the pulp,
dried in the shade and soWn under glass the
next spring.
J. M. j., Tampa, Fla wish to
keep my milk fresh longer and write to
you for information. We milk our cows at
present at $3.50 o'clock d. and o'clock
p. M, sell the milk in cans fresh and hot
from the cow at to a. M and ) to b p
m. The milk will keep sweet from eight 10
of course, not so good on account OF the
animal heat being left in it. wish to know
If by the use of some mix cooler or aer-
ator, could milk my COWS at 4 a. m ana
D. m, cool my milk and sell morning S
milk early the afternoon and evening
milk at a very early hour in the morning
and keep sweet as long for the consumer as
II 1t We're sold at once as uhqer our pres
ent plan? And would it not also make the
taste of the milk much better? am think
ing of adopting the plan so my milk can go
to the city customers early without haY-
ing to milk the cows so very early. Thanks
for any information given.
Many dairymen some of the secret
nostrums for preserving milk; but we do
not advise their use, as it is generally con-
sdered an adulteration, and sometimes an
injurious one. If you can provide a conve-
nient means of heating the milk as soon
as drawn to not less than 100 degrees, or a
good scalding heat, and then cool it, it will
keep sweet tWenty-four hours. The animal
heat does not hurt or njure the flavor, if
the food and water are all right Aeration
is highly recommended, and there are sever
al machines on the market. Write to the
director of your experiment station, DR..
O. Clute, Lake City, Fla, for suggestions
and information.
V. w. c., Many, La.-Please tell me
through the columns of your valuable paper
for wooden goods. Have heard that in
Atlanta is d good place, but have never
sent to try. Also please give name of d
good firm that will exchange.
Write Concord mills, Nickajack Ga, or

T. S., Edison, Gals there such clover
as Swedish hybrid? viii it do for this
latitude, Calhoun county? The agent clam
ed that the POLLEN of the bean and pea have
been fed to that of the clover; that it VIII
grow and do we'll wherever the common COW
pea would grow. Please give me all the IN
formation in your next issue that you can
Ia or hNIrjd clover
Oblige.
Yes, it is tripolium hybrid, sometimes
called alsyke, or Swedish hybrid. 1t is not
adapted to a very warm climate and sandy
soil. The agent is probably mistaken IN
his statement that the ''pilen of the bean
and pea had been fed to that of the clover
and that it will grow and thrive wherever
the common pea Will grow" 1t is simply
nonsense. In some sections the Swedish
clover does very well in q mixture of
grasses. LIZ is by no means a new plant.
We planted the same thirty years ago for
bee pasturage, for which it highly rec
commended. In your county COW peas
greatly more valuable. Your inquiry in re-
gard to the Evans steel harrow has been
sent to the agents in Atlanta, Ca, for at
tention, Southern Farm Tool Company.
j. H. H.. Oakley, ~ CT traded for a
five-year-oId mare IN January, 1894, warrant
ed to be sound and all right. Next morning
| noticed that one hind lee. was swollen
from knee to hoof. During the day it would
sWag down, provided l worked drove
her, but would be swollen as IAdly ever
next morning and on until / drove her
long drive one day and then she failed to
eat for three four days, and the leg men
toned swelled to an enormous size from her
foot to her body and under her belly so badly
that she could scarcely walk; very high
fever in leg and run out at fetlock or ankle
Joint; showed no sign of having been
hurt in any way. Her leg got better, but is
still badly enlarged, worse of morning as
from standing for some time; works and

does not improve in flesh after losing so
much when worse Off neither does her leg
improve. Please tell me the trouble and
remedy, if any.
The mare has got what is called elephan-
tiasis, sometimes called weed which is
generally caused by high feeding and too lit
tie work First give Il purge of 5 drains of
aioes, l dram of ginger, dram Of Gentian,
soap or syrup to mix all into ball. Gave
as one dose, placing it well back on the
tongue, drawn out for the purpose. Then
give Il teaspoonful of saltpeter in one gal
lon of water to drink. Repeat the Saltpeter
drink every three or four hours until the
urine is increased in quantity and clearer
in color; then give it two or three times
a day. Meanwhile battle the leg in salt
water as not as the hand can bear 1t, for an
hour or two. Then bind the leg in Wollen
cloths to keep it warm, letting the cloths
reach up to the body, and avoid all
draugths. Restrict diet to hay and bran
mashes until she is able to work. AS soon
as the soreness Will allow OF exercise, give a
couple of hours walk, twice a day, iilcreas-
ing it daily. Keep this up until ali soreness
and Inflammation are gone, which Will be
before the swelling is entirely gone. On
coming in from work or exercise apply
wet bandage tight, and remove the bandage
and rub well with the hand before Going
out. Bring her back to her regular feed
gradually and avoid overlooking.
w. A. J., Rusk, n. C.-Your friends horse
has either what is known as pruriSo, itchy
skim or mango. If the latter, you should be
able to discover the mango insects (acarus)
by the use of a small magnifier. If found
to be mango wash the parts affected with
hot water and strong soap, to remove all
scabs and scurf. When dry, rub well in
all affected spots the following mixture:
Four ounces of sulphur, ounces oil of tar,
10 pint of Iinseed oil. Another remedy is
a strong tobacco wash made by boiling one
half pound of tobacco in one gallon OF
water Also wash all harness, brushes,
blankets, etc, with the tobacco tea, and
