TO REDUCE THEM TO a STAND.

While the gubernatorial situation IN
south Georgia may appear a little
mixed just now from the multiplicity
of candidates already in the race, affairs
will adjust themselves in time. Editor
Stovall, of the Savannah Press, reminds
north Georgia pointedly in this regard
when he says: 'It is a shrewd thing
on the part of the North Georgia can
didates to endeavor to take advantage
of differences of opinion which may
obtain temporarily in this section
They should remember that some gen
tlemen now before the people may not
be running when the times comes to
make nomination and that the dis
play made by the South Georgia flyers
is only preliminary. The candid dates
will be thinned out long enough IN adj
vance of the meeting of the Demo
cratic convention. When the party
comes to act the cup defender will be
selected from the wiregrass and south

Feeding MoIdy Corn.

The annual loss of live stock from
cerebro-spinal meningitis is quite con-
siderable. Various causes for the
spread of this disease have been sug-
gested. One of those popularity be-
lieved In Is the eating of moldy corn.
During the fall and winter of 1898-99
there was a large loss of cattle in
Indiana which was attributed to this
cause. A wet fall was responsible for
large quantities Of moldy corn. The
popular belief was that the organism
causing the fermentation in the corn
produced disease in the live stock. The
Indiana station studied the epidemic
and its relation to Its alleged aus
The disease was found to be cerebro-
spinal meningitis. An examination of
a large number of specimens Of moldy
corn from different localities showed
that m bacteria and two molds were
common to all samples. Other micro
organisms were found, but varied In
the different samples.
Tests of the poisonous properties of
the moldy corn were made with two
horses. After a preliminary feeding
period five cubic centimeters (about
one-sixth ounce) of an active growth
in bouillon of the bacterium found In
moldy corn was injected under the
skin. After an interval of six hours
this was followed by an injection OF
10 cubic centimeters. No appreciable
effect was observed; not even so much
as an abscess occurred. Five days
later a similar test was made with a
culture of one of the molds isolated
from the spoiled corn, and after a like
interval a similar test with a culture
of the other mold. In neither case was
any abnormal symptom observed.
Each of the three heterogeneous
vas then grown In corn meal pre-
viously sterilized. In various ways the
horses were induced to eat as much as
5 pounds per head daily Of the infected
meal, each micro-organism being test
ed for a period Of five days. The effect
of the meal inoculated with the bac-
terium and one of the molds was mega
tive. The meal inoculated with the
other mold-a fusarium-produced red
ness of the gums and some salvation.
The horses were then fed all the
spoiled corn they would eat. On the
first three days they ate it readily. and
after that it was with difficulty that
they could be induced to eat any.
On the fifth day one Of the horses
had slight salvation, occasional colicy
pains, and diarrhoea. On the seventh
day there was some incoordination Of
movement and stupor. For two days
the animal would stand part of the
time with the head pressed against the
wall, and then quick recovery followed.
The second horse showed some irrita-
ton of the mucous membranes Of the
mouth. but never developed any nerv-
