GInndcrs or Cntarrh.

Inquirer lonestar: Wine to the ordi-
nary observer there is no perceptible diff
ference between the symptoms of chronic
catarrh and CHAMBERS in its first appear
ances il will not be very long before a
marked difference shows itself. AS in hui
man beings horses are subject to sudden
colds aud 10 impure blood and the various
manifestations of symptoms under the
several causes are frequently puzzling 10
the most learned veterinary doctors. There
are various ailments that begin with Sc
we're colds and when the blood is already
in bad condition they frequently terminate
in such disorders as CHAMBERS, diphtheria,
etc.
IT is quite possible that CHAMBERS can be
cured under the best care and treatment,
but 1t is fact. we believe, that
cures are known to have been made.
If the animal continues the discharge
from the nose from first being thin and
watery win change to a thick, dark cOiored
discharge, having the appearance of lin
seed oil. Inside the nostril pustules of
various size viii form. When these sy1np-
toms appear you can safely set it down
as CHAMBERS AS the disease progresses
there win appear on the body little button
like sWellngs that can be felt with the
finger A horse may live for several years
with a well developed case of CHAMBERS
but where one is sure that it is this dis
ease the animal should be killed It Will
spread contasion, not only 10 other horses,
but also to human beings that come in
contact with the diseased animal SOME
seasons, as in the one just passed, the
great majority Of horses contract colds
and discharge more or less from the nose
If the animal is in bad condition this cold
may terminate in CHAMBERS or something
not quite so bad, which will pass off after
awhile In a great many cases chronic
catarrh results Such animals should be
treated with a good blood purifier, and
the nostrils fumigated with vapor of tur-

A superb New Rose.

When the Meteor rose was introduced
a few years ago Il was universally be-
Ieved that the limit of perfection in this
class of roses had been reached, says an
exchange. But now comes the new hy-
brid tea rose Liberty" with its dazzling
briHiancy, exquisite fragrance and per-
feet shape to put every rival in the shade.
When exhibited for the first time at the
mon thly flower show of the American In
stitute of New York city, it at once be-
came the center of attraction and received
the highest encomiums from experienced
rose growers.
The richness of it's color is difficult 70

a pure fiery ruby, without any tendency

sometimes seen on the petals, of the Me-

The time for seeding this annual clover
being now at hand, we desire to say a
word in favor of its being very largely
sown says the Southern Planter. The ne
cessity for this appeal arises from the
fact that in the past, from one cause or
another, very unsatisfactory results have
been achieved in growing the crop. Very
much of the seed sown has failed to make
a stand. This has arisen not from defects
in the seed, for, as a rule, il has a very
high percentage of termination, and starts
10 grow most freely, but from subsequent
injury to the stand. Unfortunately, the
newly sprouted seeding is very susceptible
TO injury from the sun. from drought
and from frost, and, as these conditions
are very apt TO prevail at times during
the fan months il is not TO be wondered
at that stands are often lost. The value
of the crop, however, is SO great, not
only as a gatherer of nitrogen from the
atmosphere for the benefit of subsequent
crops as a pTeserver of the fertility of the
soil, as preventive of washing, and as a
winter and spring pasture and
early green forage crop, that
we urge its frequent seeding
at intervals from July 10 November.
If only part of these seedlings escape dam
age from the causes mentioned, an ample
return will be made for the seed and labor
expended
AS showing how valuable the crop is rs
a nitrogen gatherer, an experiment made
at the Cornell station is instructive Seeds
of three varieties of cloVer-the crimson
or German, the mammoth red and the
medium red-were sown Aug. l. and the
plants were dug Nov. 4, three months ana
four days after the seeds were sown. An
acre of the crimson Clover had in that
time gathered 1894 pounds of nitrogen; an
acre of the mammoth red had gathered
1885 pounds; whilst an acre of medium
red clover had only gathered 1876 pounds
If We take the value of this nitrogen at
only 10 cents per pound. instead of y,
the usual rate, on account of its being
perhaps less Immediately available than
in the form Of cotton seed meai or nitro
gen of soda, we have here a value OF
$3.50 for the nitrogen alone, gathered in
three months by at most ten to fifteen
pounds Of seed sown, with a large feed
ing value in the crop itself.
From our experience with the crop, ana
from the experience of many who have
grown it for several years, we are con.
WINGED that early seeding is the best, and
most likely to be successful. We would
begin to SOW in July, whenever there was
suitable season and SOW an acre or two
at every suitable opportunity up to the
end of October.
We have very satisfactory reports from
parties who have sown the clover with
cow peas with milet, with oats or rye
and with urnips, and we doubt not thar
IL could he success fully sown with rape.
The shading of the cow peas and millet
prevented injury from drought, and gave
two crops from the land-one in the fan
and the other in The spring. Seeding W. tn
oats or rye, It makes excellent pasture,
and when cut early, good hay. Where
seeded with turnips or rape, the crop could
only be used for pasture. unless the tur-
nlps and rape were pulled out during the
WINTER or early spring. In a showery sea-

Legislation to Prevent the Sale of
worthless Seeds.

We have always held that next to the
sale of worthless or adulterated medicine
the sale of imperfect and adulterated
seeds was The most henous crime COM
mitted by the commercial world. The
most stringent of laws should be enacted
against them. OF course, if there are
men mean enough to sell worthless medi-
cine and it has been shown that there
are, IL is not to be wondered at that
there are plenty who are not 10th to
sell seeds that will not grow.
The Florida Legislature, at its recent
session made an effort to deal with this
criminal practice of selling worthless seeds
in that state, but we fear that the law
enacted in reference to it will not prove
effective in protecting the farmers ana
gardeners of Florida from dishonest seed
dealers any more than heretofore. The
law has a tendency to restrict the sale
of seeds only TO those raised in the inn
mediate locality where 1t is known who
raised them and the year they We're saved.
1t is a law not easily complied with, from
the fact that the great bulk of the seeds
used in Florida and other Southern states,
are imported seeds brought in from the
North or from Europe, and it would be
difficult, if not impossible, to locate the
grower or year of growth.
The law says that from and after the
passage of this act il shall be unlawful
for any person or firm doing business in
Florida TO sell or offer for sale any gar
den. melon or vegetable seed unless the
original package in which the same is
| enclosed shall have written or printed
| thereon a guarantee as to when, where
and by whom all such seed were grown.
Violation of the law is punished with a
| fine of $25 TO 800
1t is doubtful that such a law will put
| a stop to the sale of worthless seeds
Would it not be better to make il a
crime punishable with a fine of $1,000 OF
| ten years" and requiring the seller OF
| seeds to furnish a sample to the state
agricultural commissioner or director OF
| experiment station, who will pass upon
! their quality. But after all as in other
| things the seed buyer should make it his
business to deal with only those he knows
and that he thinks is honest. Legislation
however. should do anything possible tc
put a stop to the evil which is of great
| magnitude.

Japan SNOWFALL and other Wilbur
NUNS.

The SNOWFALL family has always been
an interesting one, says Thomas Meehan.
What is now known as the old sort has
been long esteemed for its beautiful white
balls of flowers in May. There is hardly
an old garden in the land that does not
possess one of them. This one is a stray
Cling grower. hard to make a handsome
bush of unless pruned, and having d.
Vided leaves. In its habit of Towering
1t produces one to three flower heads in
a group seldom more. But good thing that
it is, it is exceled by the one from the
Japan, which has now come TO be called
Japanese Snowfall This is of an entire-
ly different nature from, the others, the
flowers only resembling it, The leaves
are entire, thick and of plated appear
ance. In growth it makes a shapely bush
without any pruning Indeed, it is cas-
ily spoiled by injudicious pruning. In
stead of a struggling BUSH bare of side
branches, there is in this a thickly branch
ed bush of good outline, But it is in
its flowers that the chief excellence lies.
They are IN pairs, opposite each other on
the stem, one on each side, and some
times as many as ten pairs on one branch.
When a large bush is in full flower it is
a magnificent sight There is just enough
leaf here and there to be seen TO give
a ground work to the white flowers. a
shrub to be in general demand must be
hardy beautiful and easily transplanted
and all these qualities are justly claimed
for this one Regarding the time of

by about four 20 six days. In catalogues
the old sort is called Niburnum opulus
and the new one Viburnum plicatum.

The merits of the Japan ivy have been
so much spoken of of late that those pos
sessed by the Virginia creeper are in dan
ger of being overlooked, but this must not
be, for d more useful vine in so many ways
il would be must difficult to find. There has

of various vines along picket fences, and

sides, il adds very much to the beauty of

Insects and Diseases Affecting Crops
I'm 1900.

In several respects the present season
has been an unusual one regarding insects
and diseases among garden crops Never
before has blight been so destructive in
the fields Of potatoes and tomatoes as has
been the case in the South this year All
along the line there has been misadven-
ture of one kind or another, beginning
with the destruction of the fruit crop in
the early spring, followed by alternating
drought, blight and injurious insects. The
loss has been ereat-how much it would
be difficult TO estimate correctly.
We would be glad 70 hear from as many
of our reoders as possible what their eX-
perience with insects and disease hos been
this season; what insects have been most
destructive in the garden and what was
done to prevent their ravages.
