Hook Joint Lameness.

]. II. f.. winder, Ca:
have an OK with a dislocated joint
The joint Is the one below the hip joint,
and the cause is from a hurt. Some times
il appears to be almost well and can walk
very well. but when he makes a long trip
and the affected leg is stretched out
behind the Joint comes out of place and
he is unable TO walk az all He has been
in this condition for several weeks. Can
you give me any remedy for keeping 1t
in place and make a permanent cure2
Please answer through the Semi-Weekly
Journal as I am one OF it's subscribers.
I viii appreciate any suggestion that you
may make.
Answer-n appears 70 me that the best
thing you could do for the OK in his pres
ent condition Is to keep him In a small
pasture and give him perfect rest until
the wounded leg has been permanently
cured. Certainly the animal should not
be worked or driven long distances while
his leg Is injured. If there is any swelling
about the affected parts, rub IL well
daily with warm mullen leaf tea. I think
the joint will mend properly II the animal
is given perfect rest for two months.

HERE is THE ARTICLE
THAT CAUSED THE ROW

Professor Sledd's article. which has
caused such a sensation at Oxford and
Covington, and which will be bitterly re-
scented by the people of the south is print
ed in the July number of The Atlantic
Monthly and Is entitled: "ghe Negro:
Another View" II takes UP nine pages
Of the magazine.
The article is based on two hypothesis.
l. The negro belongs to an inferior race.
2. But the negro has inalienable rights.
In introducing his article Mr.. Sledd
says:
$50 much has appeared in the public
prints touching the various phases OF the
negro problem in the south that 1t is
perhaps presumptuous to attempt any
further contribution to the literature on
that subject Previous discussion, how
ever, seems open to two very serious crit

Any information about the above ques-
lions would be highly appreciated by me.
Ans.-The best method of preserving SUI
gar cane stalks for seed is to pull the
cane up by the roots. leaving the fodder
on the stalks. Next select a piece of
ground, say 10 by 20 feet, that is well
drained and dry. Pile the stalks down IL
to IL inches in thickness, cover the whole
inches In thickness with the fodder pull
ed from the cane used for grinding and
then throw on the bed to inches of dirt,
rounding off the top to the sides so as to
shed water. This plan ought to preserve
the stalks through winter. The fodder
OF sugar cane is very coarse and is not
much relished by stock, but you can cure
and feed 1t through the winter same as
any other forage. Most farmers leave on
the ground where the cane is stripped
and let it rot so as to be plowed under the
following year in the field.

On the postroad in southern New

been a tavern, owned and managed by
two brothers and two sisters named
Mason.
The youngest of the family, Hannah,
had been Tilted in her youth. After her
desertion she had never entered say
door save that of her own home, but
gave all her strength to hard work.
She would hatchel fax for weeks, spin

without apparently thought of rest.
She died after a short illness, and
still travellers said that their slumbers
were disturbed by the whir of the
wheel. Soon it was whispered about
that the Mason house was haunted
Strange sounds were heard from the
garnet, where Hannah had always
worked, and plainest of all was the
hum Of the great wool wheel.
The brothers heard the story and al

Tho Annihilation Of Distance.

How much nearer to each other the
nations of the world seem to be to-
day and really are to-day than was
the case few decades ago. When
weeks and months were required for
communications between the United
States and Europe the countries of
the old world appeared to be long
way off. Now the circumference of
old earth is belted with telegraph and
cable lines in every possible direc-
ton. What happens to-day in Eur
ope, Asia, Africa, Australia, South
Africa and the great islands of the
sea is made known to us tomorrow
by great newspapers like The Chica'
go Record Herald, whose foreign cor.
respondents are located in every i'm
portant city in the world, outside the
| United States. IN addition to its own
staff correspondents the Record II er-
aid enjoys foreign news service of the
| New York Herald, famous for many
years for the reliability of its foreign
news, and also of that great cooper
alive news gathering organization
the Associated Press. No other daily
newspaper in America possesses IA
