Meningitis.

During the past summer and fal!
there existed fatal disease of horses
and mules in different sections OF the
State, known as meningitis, or more
popularity, as staggers, blind staggers,
etc. BY this we do not mean the
blind staggers that come from sun
stroke, but an entirely different dis
ease, which is presumed TO originate
from some different germ.
The department Of animal pathol-
ogy of the State Experiment Station
has sent it's representatives to several
of the localities in this State affected
by the disease, to make Investigations
on the spot and every effort has been
made and is making to identify the
exact nature and the causative agent
Professor Dodson, director OF the Ex-
pertinent Stations, is sending in
quiries throughout the State to ascer-
tain as nearly as he can any particu-
lars in regard to this disease. Some
years back there was a development
of meningitis on the lower coast, dur
ing which few horses died, but so
far as we know, no mules were affect
ed. 1t is thought that some cows may
have died in the same way recently,
but the whole matter thus far is so
obscure that but few data have been
secured concerning it.
Some fifteen years or more ago, an
outbreak Of some obscure disease oc-
Cured in DeSoto Parish near Mans
field, and DR.. w. H. Dalrymple, the
eminent veterinarian of the Louisiana
State University and of the Expert
ment Stations, went on the spot to
investigate it. AS nearly as could
then be determined, that particular
outbreak Of disease, whether menin-
gifts or not, might have had its origin
from the consumption of mouldy corn
by the animals affected, the favorite
corn there at that time being of the
Hickory King variety and at least
some of it, If not considerable of it,
was found by DR.. Dalrymple to be af-
fected with suspicious mould that
may have been the cause Of the dis
ease. We sincerely hope that Pro-
fessor Dodson will be successful in
his efforts along the lines that he has
undertaken in this matter.-Louis-
lana Planter.

Some Fertilizer Rules.

SANDY soil needs potash in a
higher degree.
CLAY soil needs ammonia or MI
trogen in higher degree.
S-Ammonia or nitrogen makes
the weed. so where you want vigor-
Gus growth use it literally,
Acid phosphate and potash
makes the fruit, so where fruit is not
in proportion to weed, use higher
per cent. Of these.
5-The greater amount of vegeta-
BILE matter you have upon your land
the less nitrogen you need, and here
acid with potash Is sufficient for good
results.
6-As a rule the higher grades
come cheapest in proportion to COM
mercial value and it pays to buy
them, especially if you pillow deep
and cultivate your crops we'll.
An 1922 and 1922 goods are
considered standards; but you can
buy goods to suit almost any crop
or conditions. AS a rule, we would
prefer more potash.
We have heard several farmers
say they thought the sulphuric acid
used to make acid phosphate was in
furious to the land. Some believed
that there was enough free sulphuric
left in the mixture to injure the land
and the crops. This is an error. To
make ton Of acid phosphate they
take 1000 pounds of ground phcs-
pour 1000 pounds OF fifty per cent.
degree sulphuric acid. This gives us
the ton. The sulphuric acid combines
with the rock, forming "sulphate of
lime" which is the same thing as
land plaster or gypsum. Now sui
phuric acid is the most powerful acid
known; it will burn hole in your
clothes like fire, would eat up your
hands, eat the sacks, in fact, you
could not keep it free, If it came in
contact with anything to combine
with; were there any left it would
readily find something in the sell to
combine with and would neither in
jure the land nor the crops. Profess
sor ]. M. McCandless, Georgia's State
Chemist, says he always finds some
insoluble phosphate in all the acid
he has analysed, which shows there
is no sulphuric acid left, or it would
render it soluble. If any free sui
phuric acid remained, you would not
be able to distribute the acid phos-
phate. 1t would not be dry, or so you
could handle it in any way to dis
tribute.-Southern Cultivator.

Putting ON the Manure.

It is an old saying as rich as
garden" Now is the time to put ma
nure upon your garden, and make it
rich. You cannot get you soil too
rich for vegetables; they are all more
crisp and better grown upon fertile
soil We always feel sorry for our
Southern farmers when we think Of
manure, since we know how essen
tial stable manure is, and how little
they have, so few OF them keep cat
tie to any extent. However, haul out
some on your garden and plow it in,
and get ready for the best garden
you have had in years. Hard times
make a good gardener more Of me-
cessity. Manure all your garden
truck highly; clean out your hen
houses, gather all your ashes; these
two sources should furnish much ma
nure for the garden. ma

One of the Greatest Crops.

Alfalfa is one of the greatest, If
not the greatest, forage and hay
crop in existence, though it takes
some people long time to find it
out. There is much to learn about
growing this desirable plant, and
that is why there are many failures.
Keep at 1t in a small way, however,
until you learn how to grow 1t, and
you will bless the day you first heard
of it, 1t is big yielder, furnishes
feed of fine quality, is great soil
improyer and is perennial. That
is a combination Of good qualities
that can't be- beat.-Farm and

Economical Dairying.

For many years it was thought
that the South could not make dairy
products economically. The expert
ment stations have demonstrated the
,fallacy OF this proposition and milk
and butter can be made at reasonable
prices as, compared with the cost in
other sections. Home grown crops
where crop rotation is practiced and
the crops selected for cultivation on
O common sense basis will furnish RAJ
tions eminently we'll suited for the
nourishment OF the COW at moder-
ate cost and without necessitating the
purchase OF any considerable quantity
of concentrates other than cottonseed
meal, which is the cheapest high
class protein food on the market to-
day. The physical conditions can
thus be changed to meet the require
ments Of dairy husbandry by the ex-
ercise Of intelligence and skill OH the
part OF the farmer, and those other
natural deficiencies which high tenn
peratures seem to fasten on the South
can be overcome through the aids OF
science referred to. The way is clear,
therefore, for the establishment OF
dairy farming, either on the co-opera-
tive principle so admirably and sue
cessfully followed in the Northwest,
or for the development Of the home
dairy In an ever increasing ratio.

%, 1908. Being the son of Metho-

confidently affirm. we seek one to

strong and robust scarce knew what
sickness was. until six months ago
consumption laid hold on his stall

father followed him here with their
kind ministries. and other friends
were near to render assistance, but
in spite of all that earthly friends
could do. in spite of his own heroic
struggle against the dread disease,
death claimed his body, and John
McPhail fell asleep Thursday at
