Blind Staggers.

Nature and Cause-This disease must
De separ ated from that which is known
to veterinarians as cerebro.spinal men
nights due to an infective agent, a dis
ease which does occur in horses as IN
mankind and in which the symptoms
and in some respects the LESSONS found
post-mortem resem bic those of stag
gers. Blind staggers, as we have it
in this state,is not an infectious disease,
but one which all the evidence shows to
be intimately connected with the
character of the food, or, more partisN-
larly, with the use of fungus altered
grain and forage. The characteristic
symptoms, paralysis and brain disturb
ance, result from the action on the nerve
centers, spinal cord and brain, of a
chemical poison elaborated in the food
by the growth of fungi. 1t is not be-
lieved that any one species Of fungus
growth is exclusively responsible for the
disease, as several species of moulds,
rusts and smuts possess such toxic prop
critics. The green pencil mould, Peni-
cillum glamour, is the fungus which is
much the most abundant in our corn
fields and cribs and presumably the
chief cause Of staggers resulting from
feeding unsound corn. In those rarer
cases in which similar symptoms occur
in horses which are not fed grain the
same or other fungus growths may be

able fire, and does not clog up the chin
ney with SCOT and burn cut the stove, as
"lightwood" or pitchy wood does.
The saving on clothing, say for a
farmers family of six, would certainly
be $25 year. Shoes wear out more
rapidly in the abundant sand and dew
here than they do in the North, but all
other articles of apparel last longer, and
fewer are required. Tlnware does not
last as long as it does in the North,
which is probably due to some corrosive
quality in the water.
Before the freeze, labor cost the Flo.
rida farmer and fruit grower more than
it cost his northern brother: it ranged
from 81 to $3.50 day, without board.
Since the freeze, however, labor is
cheaper. Even in the orange belt it
does not range above rs cents to 81 a
day, without board, while in the cotton
belt it is so cents a day, or even less,
generally with rations of meal and bacon
included.
What, then, IS the summing up?
That the Florida farmer is really COM
PEELED to import from the North only
his flour, apples, cheese and perhaps a
part of his sale pork, with certain gro
ceries including most canned goods,
thought this ought not so to be. Vege-
tables, stock feed, hay, rice, ice, vine
gar, wine, cigars, tobacco, syrup, and
sugar, and several other articles, ought
never to pass the Florida border coming
southwark, at least for consumption in
this state. The additional, and the
reduced, expense of rual living here is
about as follows: Flour, cost abouts
dollar a barrel more; canned goods,
about three cents a can more; butter
costs here, on an average, about fifteen
cents pound more than the best grade
Of country butter does in the state of
New York; cheese about six cents more;
hams about four cents more, apples in
the north, say forty cents bushel,
here forty cents peck, through farm
ers seldom INDUCED in fresh apples;
coffee, tea spices. ETC., very little more;
syrup, sweet potatoes, rice, fresh fish,
and beef, less; mutton, more, though
that again is seldom found on farmers
tables Most Southern farmers are pre-
JUDGED against mutton.-Citizen.

Florida Foods and Crops.

in the two places form an interesting
subject Of discussion, especially to the
intending immigrant. In the line OF
machinery the Florida farmer will re.
quire heavy breaking pillow, a lighter
one-horse pillow. a cutaway harrow,
cultlvator, a hand cutivator, wagon,
harness, an assortment of hoes, spade,
ak, seed drill, and, in case of a thrifty
farmer, moving machine and hay
rake. All these tools come from fac
the grower, assuming that he will pur-
chase them all and bring none with him,
probably 1925 more than they would cost
in the north.
An erroneous idea prevails as to the
number Of such articles that must be
imported from the north in order to en-
able the well-todo farmer and his fam
lily to live in generous comfort with
full larder, such as they had been &C
customed to in their northern homes.
Apples and potatoes; milk, cream, but
buckwheat cakes and oatmeal; beef
steak, mutton, sausage, ham and eggs;
cabbage, tom atoes, squashes, beans,
green corL-but why extend the cata
logue of the savory things that grace
the board of the solid western farmer,
whose good digestion waits on appe-
tte, and health on BOTH"
The question now arises which Of
these articles can be grown to advan-
tage in Florida, and which of them the
farmer had better procure from outside
sources. The fact is we'll known that
every article named above, with the ex-
ception Of winter al plies, can be, and
has been, grown in this state. Even
wheat fills out it's heads well, and the
grains are plump and heavy;but whether
any farmer, at least On the peninsula
proper, would be repaid in the attempt
to grow wheat enough to furnish his
breadstuffs is very doubtful. AS to oats
and corn, no reasonable doubt can be
entertained that am ordinary farmer
possibly not the large orange grower
Can produce these in sufficient quantity
to feed his family; and oats are really q
more valuable grain for this climate
than wheat. Oatmeal is nourishing to
the muscle and the brain, and IS IN
nowise heating or fattening. It is just
the nourishment required in this warm
and somewhat debilitatlng climate.
The consumption of wheat -four is a
curious barometer of the farmers pros
perity. Even the negro will demand
flour when he is prosperous, and return
of poverty again. Wheat will always
be the staple grain of good livers in
Florida, and probably the day will never
come when it will be produced IN the
state. No farmer is worthy of the name
who does not produce his own butter,
unless it may be in the NEST sandy
regions of the orange belt, but probably
cheese-making will never gain a strong
foothold in Florida.
Pork is consumed almost exclusively
in the rural regions, and it is to the
reproach of the Florida farmers that
they purchase so much from northern
and Western States. The pork of a
sub tropical region is more soft and oily

heavy, clammy soil or with fertilizers
overbalanced with organic nitrogen, they
are liable to have the black heart. And
sometimes this disease appears mystic
| riously under circumstances that admit
of no explanation. In general, however
no reason is apparent why the farmer
should not, after becoming acquainted
with the pecuarities of his soil-if he
has proper soil for potato culture-by
raising two crops annually, supply his
own table throughout the year. If thor
oughly ripened, carefully harvested
without being pricked by the imple-
ments used, not allowed to lie in the sun
till they become heated through, and
laid away in cool, airy place, the Irish
potato will keep in Florida-perhaps
not so we'll as in the north, but so we'll
that the percentage Of rotten tubers will
not equal the expense Of transportation
from the far hill slopes Of Aroostook.
During the humid weather of the
rainy season the farmer should look
over his potato shelves or bins at least
every two weeks, and remove the dis
eased tubers to prevent them from
spreading the infection. To keep Irish
potatoes through the summer they
should be dug during dry weather, and
if there should be any moisture about
them, they should be spread out in
thin layer in dark place till they are
SO thoroughly dry that they will not
sweat when piled up little Never
wash them but let the earth dry, then
rub it off; coating of earth catches and
retains moisture.
The above concerning potatoes is also
true Of onions. They should be grown
on moderately dry pine land, with a
good fertilizer strong IN potash. and
they should be dried in the dark till the
gone, and they will keep through the
rainy season. Hammock grown onions
are hard to keep through the summer.
The hard shelled Hubbard squash keeps
surprisingly we'll. With two paintings
year the old planting treads on the
heels of the new. The delicious egg tur-
nip, the rutabaga, the cabbage, the
beet, the radish stand in the ground the
most of the winter and offer their sweet
firm crisp heads or bulbs fresh each day.
A tradition has survived from the
days or reconstruction (when the clerks
in Jacksonville hotels said to newcom-
ers, You can't raise nothing to eat in
Florida; it is all desert from Jackson
vile to Key West') that "sweet corn
cannot be raised IN Florida" To raise
sweet corn in Florida is not so easy as
to raise field corn, especially if it is
planted little too early. The late
frosts chill some Of the seed and it does
not terminate: some of the stalks may
become deformed and dwarfed by FROST
the moles will destroy the roots of some;
the budworm is exceedingly fond of the
delicious ears. Take all these draw
backs together, and two or three times
as much seed will be required to get a
stand as would be necessary for field
corn-say so cents worth of seed and 50
worth of labor more-and the product
of an acre is worth five or ten dollars
more, if properly utilized.

Symptoms attack is generally
sudden. The first symptoms noticed by
the owner being frequently those which
have given rise to the name Blind Stag
gers" that is, weakness in the hind
quarters and staggering gait when walk
ing. These are 81 metimes preceded or
accompanied by symptoms of collie, but
generally the nervous symptoms are
much the most prominent although they
vary considerably in different cases.
Keeling when made to move, walking in
a circle, drowsiness or stupor. leaning
or pushing of the head against some sup
port, blindness, and occasionally more
or less frenzy are all symptoms which
may be seen in this disease. In other
cases these "braln symptoms" are at
first entirely absent, the horse retaining
consciousness and intelligence almost till
death. Paralysis begins commonly in
the hind quarters and extends forward;
there is some thirst but generally diff
ficulty and later impossi bilitv Of swal
lowing. Bowels are usually constipa, ed.
In most cases which we have observed
there has been slight fever-up to 103
degrees T. In two cases the tempera-
ture was below the normal. It may be
said that fever is not prominent symp-
tom Of this disease. There are compar
atively few recoveries and death ensues
generally in from one to three days,
sometimes longer. In some cases a slow
and imperfect recovery takes place.
The careful observer will be able from
these symptoms and the history Of the
case to distinguish it from most others
with which it might be con founded
Cerebro-spinal meningitis, Stomach En-
gorgement (Stomach Staggers), Azoturla,
and Sprain of Loins
Prevention and Treatment-If we
recognize, as we have endeavored to
show, that the cause Of the trouble is the
use of damaged grain and hay, the
means Of preventing it are obvious
Moulded or smutty ears of corn are easily
recognized either in field or crib. These
should never be fed to horses. Corn
which is meant for horse feed should be
carefully sorted over and only perfectly
sound ears used for this purpose. 1t
can hardly be recommended to use the
moulded corn as food for cattle because
these animals are also susceptible to
fungus intoxlcatlon, although appar-
emily less sosthan horses. When such
corn must be used the risk nay be les
sened by cutting or knocking off the
moulded part. Wormeaten and 'frost-
ed" corn which has not become moulded,
so far as we know. possesses no poisonous
properties and may be safely used as
cattle feed. Rusted or mouldy oats or
hay are also easily recognized and should
never be fed even when moistened with
water which settles the dust but does
not destroy the toxic properties of such
food. Fin ally should be interdicted the
use of stagnant water of the pools and
bayous which generally TEEN with or
ganic impurities. Ia the way of treat
ment little can be recommended here.
Purgatives in the first stages with cold
applications to the head are commonly
employed but with little success. In
non-tatal cases recovery may be fastened
by blisters to the spine and the internal
