AFRICAN "LlMBLESS" COTTON.

1t seems that the Jackson Limbless Afri-

Answer-By "phosphoric acid" we pre-
sumo you mean "acd phosphate" You do
not give the analysis of the "hgh-gradc"
guano but If it contains a sufficiently high
proportion of ammonia and potash, it is all
right by itself, The acid phosphate should
be mixed (0O pounds) with about 300 of

Chronic Farcy.

Chronic Farcy.
A. Il. L., Bac0nton, Gal have mule
nine years old, and on the 18th of this
month noticed the folds of limbs were
swollen where legs and body join, and in
Il few days these enlarged folds began
secreting u yelowish fluid. which continues
to eXude. The tumors seem to be tender.
but not filled with fluid NOR Cyst-iike,'
but semi-Solid in consistency, and in S'ze
vary from large egg to size of fist. The
animal does not appear to have any fever;
appetite is good, and seems to have the
same amount of energy as before; bowels
are in good condition, and food seems to be
dgeStcd well.
Answer-We think it is highly probable
that your mule has chronic farcy, which
is u form of CHAMBERS. Better have an eX-
pert to examine him. Notice II there are
chorded places on the inside of his thighs
AS "A rule. it is hardly worth while to cure
q case of farcy and it almost invariably
runs into CHAMBERS, which IS a deadly ana
very dangerously infectious disease.
