Tho Corn Stalk Disease.

From Farmers Review: have seen
a great deal published on the cornstaik
disease Perhaps can add something
of value. have seen no remedy given
except that of the assistant state vet
erinarian, L. C. Tiffany. He thinks
poisonous fungus develops on the stalk
or blades, invisible but surely there.
He said the only sure way Of avoiding
the disease is to cease turning In the
stock. Now as have practiced veter-
mary surgery for the last forty-four
years and in that time have opened
and examined both horses and cattle
in large numbers that have died from
this same trouble, think ! know
whereof I speak. The cause OF the
trouble is that the animal is expected
to eat enough of those weather-beaten
stalks to supply them with noarish-
ment. An animal has therefore to eat
almost all day and all night to do II.
The system of an animal does not
furnish moisture enough 10 digest the
fodder that has been eaten. The con-
sequence is that gases are formed IN
the bowels and these cause death. !
have examined several cattle and
horses that died this fall in this part
Of the state. They had died while on
dry pasture and an examination showed
that the cause of death was tndiges-
ton. just the same as in the case OF
animals fed on dry stalks. ! have
pastured stalks on my farm all my
life and never lost an animal. The
only remedy I know is to feed grain
to the stock while pasturing the corn
stalks. The reason that stalks cut as
fodder do not cause the same trouble
is that the stalks when cut have all
the sap or juice in the blades. while the
stalks that stand in the field are
bleached until no juice is left In them
to help digestion. There is no poison
nor contagiousness about animals that
die from this complaints. h. NC

Raising Early lambs.

From Farmersj' Review: Nv ex-
perience and observation convinces me
that the small farmer that is we'll To-
Gated near a city and fixed with proper
buildings. warm. with south exposure
for cold weather, and who will go at
it in a business-like way, can make
plenty of money in raising early mar
ket lambs. A man should not keep
more than he can care for and feed
Alright. He should choose some good
mutton breed. The Southdowns have
proved to be the best in most places
and are the best sellers. However.
great things In this line are claimed
for some Of the other breeds. Private
trade is a great thing in early lamb
marketing. Wherever possible the
lamb raiser should engage his lamb
crop to some fancy hotel Then raise
for your customer good fat South
down lambs that will delight his pa-
irons, and he will be your good buyer
next year.-Chas. ]. Stuckey, Cham
paign County. Ohio.
Small fruit exhausts the tree more
rapidly than large fruit. It will thus
readily be seen that improved varieties
which produce uniformly large. fine
fruit are the more economical manu-
facturers of fruit, and also tha. the
product is more salable.

George N. Camp, superintendent of tn,
Thistle mine, gave out an official state
ment estimating the number OF killed in
both mines at $50. None have been res

The Fratervile coal mine is located in
Anderson county, Tennessee. 1t is owned
by the Coal Creek Coal company. OF
which Major +. c. Camp of this city is
president and general manager This is
t"e oldest mine in the district. having
been opened in 1870. A large area has
been developed and worked. The Coal
Greek seam is struck by this mine. the
hardest vein averaging four and one half
feet in thickness. The Fraterville has been
considered one Of the safest mines in the
Coal creek belt.
A special to the Sentinel SAYS:
Two rescning parties were started into
the Thistle and Fraterville mine en-
frances as soon as possible after the ex-
plosIon. The Thistle party was unable to
make any Roadway whatever. as the gas
sflf'ed the men almost as soon as thew
entered the shaft. The FraterviIle party
went as far as "the parting of the ways''
ihto the mime, where .-eavy fail of slate
was encountered. This cut off made
further progress in the mine impossible az

the mine is on fire.
At ii o'clock there was no longer anv
