ROOSEVELT TO TAKE
HUGE MEDICAL KIT

NEW YORK, March 9.-Medicine
enough for a regiment and surgical instru-
ments enough to do the work of an ordin-
airy hospital, will be carried by Theodore
Roosevelt TO Africa, all condensed so as
10 fill a suit case. There are fifteen
thousand doses in the tabloids, nearly ~
pc recent of them quinine. The other medi-
cines are to ward off diseases most prev
alent in equatorial Africa, chemicals TO
make swamp water pure and palataole,
cures for snake bites, stimulants, opiates,
knives and bandages.
These supplies, packed in unbreakaole
and air tight bottles of a vulcanite com
position, ht into an aluminium case 10 by
10 by s.
This outfit has been made for the Roose-
welt expedition by a firm whose principal
offices are in London, though its plant Is
in New Jersey. The firm supplied Living
stone, Stanley, Emin Pasha, Peary, the
Due d'Abruzzi and other explorers with
medicine chests.
Major Edgar A. Mearns, U. S. A, re-
tired, medical director of the Roosevelt
expedition, dictated the selection of the
medicines to be carried. Liquids find no
place in the assortment nor in the outnt
for developing photographs prepared Tor
Kermit Roosevelt by the same firm and
put up in equally condensed form.

IT'S HARD TO PRACTICE
MEDICINE IN MEXICO

Through all the official channels of the
government must it go, and wound with
all the red tape of the nation must it
be. before the diploma of Boiling Sass
nett Branham granted by an Atlanta
medical college, will be recognized by the
authorities of Mexico and before DIR.
Branham can practice medicine an that
republic.
Tuesday morning all the accumulated
documents in the case were before Gov
ernor Smith. They bore sthe signatures
and seals of two of three county officials,
each certifying to other signatures and to
the bona ffce existence of the college
which had granted the diploma attached
and to the consequent validity of the d.
ploma itself. Governor Smith was pre-
pairing to certify to the signatures of eve
rybody else, and later to send the dOcu-
ments on to Washington, where they
must be certified by the new secretary
of state. to the diplomatic representative
of Mexico at the national capitol; and
by the last named dignitary they will at
some future date be certified and return
ed to his own government. After which
Dr. Boiling Sassnett Branham will be al
lowed to practice medicine in Mexico.

tening character During the last part
of the feeding period, we feed corn and
cob meal and cotton seedmeal in about
equal parts sometimes we feed a little
more corn and cob meal than cotton
seed meal during the last 80 to 60 days of
finishing. We have finished a great
many cattle on cotton seed meal and sill
age and clover or peavlne nay, and made
gain of as much as two pounds per
head per day for periods of six months.
Any man who has a pure bright, clean,
freshly milled sample of cotton seed meal
and feeds 1t with any degree of skill and
intelligence in association with silage
need have no fear of killing his cattle
or even making them sick Cotton seed
meal contains, as you know, three times
as much digestible protein as wheat
bran, and four times as much as corn
meal. 1t is protein food and hence
should be fed in combination with corn,
and owing to it's richness, only a rea-
sonable amount should be used. We do
not think there is any better ration for
the fattening OF cattle than silage, cot
ton seed meal a little corn meal and a
legume hay. We have been experiment
ing. as already stated, for number of
years along thfs line, and are greatly
surprised that the merits of silage nj
beef production have not been more fully
recognized by the northern stations.

MAYOR OF BRINKLEY
APPEALS FOR AID

BRINKLEY, Ark, March u.-MayoT
T. H. Jackson has issued an appeal for
aid. In an official statement he reviews
the destruction wrought by the tornado
Monday night; places the number of dead
at So and says over 200 persons were in
jured. The appeal follows;
To the Public:
In response to many inquiries concern
ing the terrible calamity which has be-
fallen our. city, L would like to say that
the list of dead so far recovered from
the wreckage numbers 35 and the wound
ed number over 200. There is not n
house in the city. either business or res
idence, that has not been damaged by
the cyclone. The entire business por-
ton is lost and only three buildings are
left standing. In response to many Of
fers of assistance 1 would suggest. for
immediate temporarily relief, furniture,
some bedding. blankets. tarpaulins, shin
giles and other roofing material be sent
us. The latter is in urgent demand be-
cause there is not a dry roof IL the
city to protect the wounded and home
less. In the way of permanent relief,
l would say that the greatest benefit
could be done our unfortunate people by
shipments of building materials. such as
lumber, shingles, roofing. brick, sano,
etc.
Many of our people will be able in this
way to assist themselves and start liv-
ing with a prospect of regaining their
lost fortunes, or at least preparing a
place to shelter themselves. Both the
Rock Island and Cotton Belt railroads
have agreed to bring TO our relief all
consignments of this or any other nature
free of charge. We will possibly require

AT a meeting in the assembly room OF
the Aragon hotel. Wednesday morning.
General Joseph L. Stoppelbein. of Allan

Camp convention of the Woodmen of the
World for a term of two years. This
makes him a member of the sovereign
body OF the world for a term OF four
years, which position carries with It
much honor.
The contes tor the position of presi-
dent was quite spirited for some time
but General Stoppelbein won out by a
safe majority. General Stoppelben de-
high office. taking the position that
position of such high honor as pre-
siding officer over the state should be
above political practices and the Office
should seek the man. Despite the fact
that he was not a candidate his friends
elected him.
The other officers were also elected al
the meeting Wednesday morning. Though
there were several names offered for diff
ferent positions the greatst harmony pr
vailed and the elections went off without

HUDSON is THINKING
OF MAXIM RACE

Nobody knows. from anything that T.
G. Hudson, of Schley, has said. whether
or not the commissioner OF agriculture
will run for congress next term, opposing
the present incumbent. Dudley NJ.
Hughes, in the third district.
At the capitol. Wednesday morning. the
commissioner appeared in his offices for
the first time since his recent departure
for Washington. He was asked about
the recent reports from special correspon-
dents Of two Atlanta dailies I'm Washing
ton. one to the effect that he win run
against Congressman Hughes and the
other to the effect that he had authorized
no such announcement, the inference be-
ing that he wouldn't run.
(Which one Of the boys qualified for the
Ananias club?'' the commissioner was
asked.
Neither" he replied, laughing. I'm
just thinking about 1t. That's all. That
went one way and the other another; but
neither was an Ananias man. I'd hate to
call any man that"
So he dismissed the subject Commits
sioner Hudson won't say whether or not
he is going to run for congress.

QUERIES ANSWERED
Cotton Seed Meal for Beef Cattle

Cotton Seed Meal for Beef Cattle
r. c.. st. Johns, Mich, writes: We
have three carloads OF cattle that have
Seen on feed since November 18th with
hay and good corn silage. On December
10Th cotton seed meal was added grad
ually until they were eating more than
pounds per head per day. They have
gained more than 2 pounds per day for
$50 days and now weigh around 1000
pounds. AS this is our first experience
with cotton seed meal, wish to know
IL we can increase the amount we are
feeding with safety. This ration has
given the best results of any we have
fed, and we desired 20 increase it to-
wards the last.
We have finished more than 1000 head
of cattle on rations of silage, cotton seed
meal, corn meal, etc, during the last
twelve years. During that time we have
never had a cattle beast to die. This
may. have been exceptionally good for
tune on our part We have had animals
in a few instances to get off feed tenn
porariiy for a few days when on very
heavy rations of cotton seed meal, but
as soon as the amount OF meal was cut
down for a short period of time, they
got all right again. 1 have never seen
an animal troubled with what some call
fat sickness, which IL was claimed was
due to feeding large amounts of cottbn
seed meal, when tie roughness part of
the ration consisted chiefly of silage.
There is no danger from feeding cotton
seed meal to a 1000 pound steter in
amounts as high as s pounds per head
per day. We have fed 10 pounds to ami
mails in this way for considerable periods
of time. With mat amount of meal we
have sometimes noticed a tendency to
get off feed. Moreover, our experience
has shown that feeding as large an
amount as 10 pounds per 1000 pounds of
live weight is a waste OF cotton seed
meal; that we would get just as good
results from feeding to pounds. We
would not advise you to feed over 8
pounds under any circumstances, and we
think pounds will give you as good re-
suits as larger amount, especially dur
ing the finishing period. Our experience
has been that ii is better TO start our
cattle on about to pounds of cotton
seed meal, and after the first few days
we begin to add some corn or corn and
cob meal. Any other concentrates will
answer that is OF a carbonaceous or fat

other absorptive substances have been
tried n a certain extent. but, so far as
know, without success. II you have a
separator and will skim your milk down
very closely indeed and wash the cream
thoroughly with hot water and re-slzim,
performing the operation two or three
times, you can sometimes produce but
ter of fairly good quality, but even then
it will often have the flavor of wild on
lens. The only success we have ever had
in combating this trouble is to have the
pastures carefully grubbed out two or
three times each year, digging the onions
up by the roots and burning them. This
is a laborious undertaking, but it will
pay in the long run.

grow clover In the locaHty OIL t1OuSlOH
county, Georgia?
A good fertilizer for" fruit trees should
contain from 1.5 to rs per cent of nitro
gen, to 10 per cent of phosphoric acid
and 5 to Z per cent of potash. The Miro
gen can be supplied to an orchard in sufti-
cient quantity as a rule through grow
ing proper cover crops, such as the cow
pea. which being a legume gathers its
nitrogen from the air. The cowpea may
be turned under in the fall, and followed
in the winter with hairy vetch or crimson
clover so as to keep permanent cover
crop on the ground. OF course, rye, oats.
barley, or wheat may be used as a winter
cover, but these crops not being legumes
do not gather any nitrogen from the air.
The cowpeas, crimson clover Burr clover
and hairy vetch can all be grown salts
fatorily in the section of the state ia
which you refer, provided the land is
properly prepared, suitable fertilizers
used, and the seeding done at the proper
time. For legumes we would use no nitro
gen in a commercial fertilizer, but about
300 to 500 pounds per acre of 1914 mix
ture, that is one containing 10 per cent of
available phosphoric acid and per cent
of potash.
we think a 1854 or a 3-1O-5 a very good

land contains a considerable amount OF
vegetable matter we would cut the MI
trogen down to say per cent. Where a
god rotation of crops is established so
as to bring legumes on the land once
in two or three years. we think the farm
err can dispense largely with the use of
nitrogen in his fertilizers Crop rotations
and the feeding of a large part of the
green feede produced on the farm to live
stock, and the utilization of large amounts
of litter in the preparation of compost
will enable the building UP of soils in
this section of the state very materially
because of the vegetable matter supplied
to the land. Such a practice will also re-
duce the cost of commercial fertilizers
since nitrogen is the expensive element
needed w think from three to five
pounds of fertilizer should be used around
each bearing fruit tree, and that such
an application will pay. BY following the
method suggested we think the fertility
of your orchard land may be increased
rapidly. There Is no objection to growing
corn or cotton in a young orchard the first
year or so, provided 1t is literally fertil-
lied, but after that the ground should
be reserved for the trees, and the cover
crops turned under to enrich the soil

Fleas may be destroyed by washing the

In fact, any of the coal tar products

probably the coal tar deps are the best

effective remedy. Insect powder is also
very good. The quarters infested shoul

If the lye solution is used persistently

The mixture which you propose to use
in the preparation of a high-grade fer
tilizer will analyze about 81 per cent of
nitrogen, 1912 per cent of phosphoric acid
and Sc per cent of potash. A pure gradt'
of muriate of potash will contain 80 per
cent of available potash and high-grade
cotton seed meal will contain per cent
of nitrogen. You may be offered cotton
seed meal containing els per cent OF
nitrogen. This is not high-grade, and
you should not purchase 1t. If you do,
your fertilizer will run considerably low
er in nitrogen than the figure given. The
fertilizer suggested is an excellent one
for corn and cotton, and contains enough
potash for a rather sandy land. For
clay land probably not quite so much
nitrogen would be needed. This fer
tilizer, used in amounts of from 400 to
600 pounds or more per acre, should give
you good returns.
