COW IN .sTRAGE CONDITION"

COW IN "STRAGE CONDITION.
B. McWhte. Can't. s. CT have a COW
in rather strange condition. Last Mon
day week she dropped calf and did well
unit! few days ago, when she became
almost helpless. cut horns off: they
were entirely hollow. She is stronger to-
day. with exception of blindness. | don
think she can see particle. What do you
think is the matter with the COW. and
what shall | do for same?
Answer-Your description of the condi-
ton of the cow ut and before calvng and
the symptoms after she was attacked is
SO incomplete that | am at loss wha1
to say. The blindness accompanied by
dry, CLASSY eyebals, probably), the fact
OF recently dropping a calf suggest that
she has a mild, or slow attack of milk
fever" This disease rarely attacks
young COW or n poor COW, but generally
q mature COW, heavy mixer and in hign
condition. 1t never attacks except at or
Immediately after calying. The earlier
the attack after caNins the more GER
tainly fatal 1t Will prove. If q week in
tervene mOsL cases get well. Indeed
however, it must be ranked among the
very fatal diseases and annually kills Il
great many COWS The recognized treat
ment Is to inject into each teat (after
milking dry) half dram of iodide OF po-
tassium dissolved in half pint of tepid
water. But your COW will probably have
died or got well before this will reach

WILL SALT KILL BERMUDA GRASS?
To J. II. Davis, Butler, La.-Salt In
sufficient quantity Will certainly XIII ber-
muda grass, but cannot say what is tho
smallest amount that will prove effective,
probably not less than pounds to the
square yard which would be nearly five
80 tons to the acre. If 1t Is a small
place, say not larger than a square rod
t272 square YARDS shave off the grass
as close as possible and scatter the salt
uniformly over the surface. But remem-
her that the soil so treated will not sus-
tain any sort Of vegetation for con-
siderable period l cannot say how long.
A cheaper way would be to inclose such
small area into a pig pen and keep
several shotes In It.

Growth of our Railroads.

Yuma County Peaches.

They were of the Crawford variety, and the trees were set out only three years ago., Mir. Scott says that he planted a large number of the Craw- lords, but only three of them lived. The fact that three of themdid survive and now produce such fruit is reasona- ble proof that, with proper knowledge of conditions and care of the trees. as good peaches can be grown in Yuma valley as anyWere' on earth.
