Mail Wounds in Hoofs.

1t has long been known that nall
-pricks and other similar injuries in
the horses hoof may lead 10 an infec-
ton followed by formation of pus un:
der the horn Of the hoof and a serious
general disease of the horse or at least
the loss of the hoof. In a bulletin oil
the South Dakota Station, Moore has
recently reported results obtained in
a number OF cases from applying a
strict antiseptic treatment to injuries
of this sort, says the indianapolis
News.
The method consists in pairing away
the horn of the hoof from the affected
part until the blood oozes out. The
hoof is then thoroughly washed in a
solution of bichlorid of mercury at the
rate of one part to 500 of water. after
which absorbent cotton saturated in a
solution of the same strength Is ap.
piled to the wound and the whole hoof
is packed in cotton surrounded by a
bandage and we'll coated with tar.
This prevents any further filth from
coming in contact with the wound.
The operation must usually be done
by a qualified veterinarian, Subse-
oueut treatment, however, can be ap-
piled by the average farmer, since all
that is necessary is to pour @ little
of this solution of bichlorid of mer'
curry upon the cotton which projects
from the upper part of the bandage
The cotton will absorb enough OF the
solution to keep the wound moistened
and hasten the healing process.

fhe Plum Orchard,

There is even more necessity Tor
regular and clean cultivation with the
plum than with the peach, inasmuch
as it requires Il more plentiful supply
of water. Moisture can only be re-
tained by cultivation, shallow but
thorough, after every compacting
rain, thereby pulverizing the crust and
forming a soil mulch to shut off capil-
larity and so strain the water already
chambered in the subsoil from the
winter rains. To insure such a reser.
voir of moisture the orchard should be
plowed in both directions with either
cultivator or disk harrow as early In
winter as possible. Even during win
ter it will pay once or twice to break
the compact crust that forms after
heavy rains with an acme harrow or
similar instrument, though this IS
quite generally neglected by CONNER,
cial growers to their. loss.
Crops Of grass and weeds should
never be allowed 10 develop in the Or
chard, as they not only rob the trees
of water, but of plant food without a
corresponding return. Low, cultivat-
ed crops, like cotton, while of course
distinctly injurious to the trees, are
less Objectionable. since to a certain
extent they pay for board and lods-
ing. Cowpeas in rows occupying the
middle between the trees afe rather
more of benefit than detriment,
for although they trench on the wa
ter supply, they return an equivalent
in the nitrogen they transfer to the
soil. Small grain, however, is ruinous.
Cultivation should cease before the
maturity of the crop and not be re-
sumed until the trees have become
dormant in the soil. This will permit
the wood to ripen up we'll, which a
constant disruption of the root sys-
tenn by the cultivator would prevent.

farm labor is growing greater yearly,
hence anything which will accomplish
the purpose in the form of machinery
should be welcomed.
1t Is practically impossible to
spread the manure by hand as evenly
as a good spreader will place it. The
labor necessary TO break the large
pieces into proper sizes is considera-
BILE, and this work the manure
spreader does without trouble. That
the crops are increased is due very
largely to the evenness with which
the manure is placed by the spread,
er making the stand more even with
a corresponding growth all over the
field.
With us the manure spreader
seems particularly valuable because
our manure is spread as soon as
made, and as the bulk of it is accumu'
lated during the winter, it is much
pleasanter to load it onto the spread
er and have the machine spread it on
the fields quickly and evenly than
it is to unload wagon on cold
day. Look into the merits of the ma.
nure spreader before the work has
to be done again.

l:rrors About the White House.

To the Editor:
1 noticed somewhere recently
woald not say positively that it was
in your columns an article on the
White House which contained several
nlis-statements.
In the first place it was stated the
White House was first occupied in
1909. and that its first occupant was
President Madison. The fact Is, its
first occupant was President Adams,
who took up his residence there in
1900.
The original mansion was begun
in 1892. In 1914 it was burned by
the British and rebuilt in 1878.
Another of the errors in the artl-
Gle referred to was the statement that
ready-prepared paint is used on the
White House to make it beautifully
white.

have used considerable paint myself,

1t so happened also that knew
white lead and linseed oil - not
ready-mixed paint-were used on the
White House, because I had just read
booklet published by firm OF
ready-mised paint manufacturers,
who also manufacture pure white
lead. In that book the manufactur-
ers admitted that for the White
House nothing bat 1.-The best and

said that their pure white lead had
been selected.

wood, or brick, or paint, or other
building material. Yours for truth,

Fine Distinctions as to Hay.

The proper stage at which the
grasses should be cut for hay has
been the subject of much inyestiga
ton on the part of agricultural chem
lists, writes Prof. w. J. Spillman, o!
the United States Department of Agri
culture. The general conclusion to
which these investigations have led
is thus stated by one of orr most emil
nent investigators: Young plants
while rapidly growing contain reia
lively more protein and less fibre than
more mature ones; consequently. ear
ly cut fodder must be of better quail
ty than that cut late. 1t is more di
gestible.'
We have here three facts and one
inference. AS the point is one of much
practical importance, We will consider
it at length. The facts are:
/. That young, growing plants con
tain relatively more protein than ma
ture ones. 2. That they also contain
less fibre, and, 8, that they are more
digestible,
The inference from these facts is:
Early cut fodder Is of better qualit!
than that cut late. Is this inference
Justified? Concerning the first fact
it may be stated that We do not grow
the ordinary grasses for the protein
they contain, and the fact that ma
ture grasses have n smaller percent
age of it than by cutting immature
grasses for it. when by doing so we
lose considerably in yield and, per
haps, also in Dalatability.
The second and third facts are
closely related and may be considered
together. Careful digestion expert
ments are not sufficiently numerous
TO show definitely that timothy cnt
say, when the seeds are iii the dough
stage, is decidedly less digestible than
when cut, say. just before bloom
But grant that there is difference, Is
it sufficient to compensate for the
smaller yield and lower palatability OF
the early cut hay?
The fact is that old, experienced
feeders and hay dealers almost inva-
rialy prefer timothy hay that has been
cut after the seed is pretty well
formed. They insist that stock like
1t Letter and that it is stronger
feed than hay cut earlier. There is
= nosstbilitv that investigators have
paid too little attention to one OF the
most, If not the most, important fac
tors in determining the value of a CIV
en- feed: namely, its palatability.
Considering the comparatively
small variation in the chemical COM
position of the same grass cut at dill
fereut stages, the most important
question is not how nutritious is a
mound of it, but how much oil 1t VIII
an animal cat.
Is it not better TO cut hay at the
stage when 1t will be most readily
eaten. and then t:.lance up the ra-
tion by judicious combination OF
feeds of different compositions? The
writer believes this TO be the case,
There is yet another factor which
is really more important than the va
riations in chemical compositions,
and that is the effect OF the digestive
organs Grasses cut very green are
laxative in character. while those cut
ripe tend to produce constipation. and
th;s is sometimes the determining fac
tor in cutting hay. In practice, there
fore. the factors which determine the
stage at which a grass should be cut
for hay are yield, palatability and ef-
fect.-Baltlmore Sun.
