Answer-There are several causes
which may account for bloody milk. In
this case the obstruction caused by the
lump on the inside Is the cause. the
act Of milking causing irritation. This
lump may be a warty or other abnormal
growth on the inside surface Of the milk
passage. An expert might remove the
obstruction now. but 1t probably Wilt

gard to the mammoth sunfOwer bought
seed from Tasting In spring. and they
have made n wonderful crop. now ma
tured, and my stock Is fond of them.
Mules, cows, hogs and chickens seem to

mo to raise them more extensively.

sulting from pressing out the oil, Is still

WORMS IN HORSE.

w. w w. Harmony Grove. Val have
a mare that rubs all the hair off the root
of her tail every spring. She eats hearty
and seems perfectly healthy, and l would
be glad if you would advise me what the
trouble is. and what treatment to follow
l also have a neighbor living on the same
place who has q horse which does The
same thing. | don't think it can be al
together worms. although I can see one
or two pass from her during week
Answer see no reason to doubt that
the trouble is due to the presence of
worms. The rubbing of the tail is ono
symptom of worms. but the actual seeing
Of the worms IS positive proof of their
presence. What more evidence do you
require? Worms are generally caused by
the horse drinking stagnant water So
the first precaution Is to provide pure well
or spring water for your horses. The
treatment for worms is as follows: Pull
verize and mix dram of pure cop
peras, one dram of tartar emetic and two
drains of cotton seed meal. Give the
above as one dose, morning and night,
for one week. Then give a purge of one
pint of raw linseed oil and one ounce
spirits turpentine. After three weeks re-
peat the entire treatment.

FORMULA NO. ON FLORIDA HAM
MOCKS

j. b. A, White Springs. FLA wish
your advice on the following questions:
l. Is formula No. the properly bal
anced fertilizer for new hammock land
TO use on cotton. and how much is nee
essary to use per acre? We use about
two or three hundred pounds kainit per
acre and get about two or three hundred
pounds of cotton on same
= why IS it that sweet potatoes crack
open when planted on old land and are
free from cracks on new?
Answer--1. I am not sufficiently famil-
lar with the Hammock lands of Florida
to prescribe a formula for cotton, or 9TH
er crop. to be planted on such Soils but
my impression is that very much less
nitrogen and possibly more potash than
is called for in Formula No would give
better results. say:
Acid phosphate. =. 49,. .... . 1000 lbs
Cotton meal. =. go. . - =. . 500 lbs
Muriate of potash. :. . 49,. . 125 lbs
Total. 1925 lbs.
l prefer however. to suggest that you
write to the Director OF Florida Expert
his advice.
2. Fresh land Is better supplied with hui
rnus, which enables tie soil to hold q.
supply of moisture, the effect OF which is
to promote a continuous or uninterrupted
growth of the potato. Old land IS apt to
suffer for moisture during periods of
drought, and when the rains come a
rapid. new. sappy growth Is induced
which bursts the thlckened and tough
skin Of the potato, causing cracks.

A REVIEWER REVIEWED.

thusly to r. ~ Farrer, Fayetteville Ga,
and the latter sends the letter for publ
cation:
"To r. n. Farrer, Esq, Fayetteville.
Ga.-Dear Sir: The answer to your sec
ond question appearing i'll The Constitu-
uon OF the 9th Of July. in regard to sap
In tree. Is not altogether correct. The
sap which ascends UP the tree in its
growing season does not pass off by
evaporation as so stated In the answer;
neither does 1t remain in the tree, nor in
the roots of the tree, but is consumed in
making new branches, fruits or other
products of the tree. according to the
nature of the tree Also in the making
of another coat of wood between the tree
and bark. Note the rings of the log, or
the stump, when the tree is cut down.
everything denotes years growth Of
the tree. OF course enough sap remains
in the tree to preserve life during the
winter Instance an apple tree laden
with apples produced by sap. Gather
and appropriate the apples and there Is no
sap to remain in the tree
Answer-In reply to the criticism Of Mr.
Jones. it may not be necessary to dc more
than repeat the question OF Mr. Farrer, and
my reply thereto as they appeared In the
Weekly Of July 81, as follows: "t2) Does
any of the sap from trees go into the
ground during the winter, or does 1t all
stay in the roots? Answer-l2) No. The
ton that evaporates into the air.
If Mr. Jones will wipe his gls sses and
read the question and reply more care
fully he viii observe that the question
was limited to the movement Of the sap
I'm winter" and not to its functions
during the growing season During the
latter period all the organs of a tree are
In full activity. and even more of the
sap "evapOrates into the air''--especially
through the leaves. than in winter. The
question dd not lead into the discussion
of the general vital functions of the tree
during the growing season. I'm regard to
which Mr. Jones undertakes to instruct
Mr.. Farrer and to correct my erroneous
teachings. I do not undertake to answer
a question unless prepared to do so, hav-
ing long since learned to say. II do not
know. r. j. r.
