GEORGIA MAY PAY
BIG SUM TO U. s.

WASHINGTON, April 3.-Georgia will
have to pay the national government the
sum of $1,O51, 1920 If a bill introduced by
Representative Murdoch, of Kansas, be-
comes a law, and he declares that it will
unquestionably be passed at the next reg
ular session of congress. His prediction
is some what problematical, but the very
fact that his measure will apply to only
comparatively few states lends strength
to his assertion about its enactment.
The Murdoch measure is entitled "a bill
to secure the repayment of all money Ow-
ing to the United States government, re-
payment of which has been pledged" The
bill was introduced several days ago, but
1t was not until today that its real ma
ture became known.
Specifically, the bill relates TO moneys
advanced to several states of the union
I'm 1886, under an act of congress. II APP
pears that the treasury surplus at this
time chiefly from the sale of public lands
had become quite large, and the states
were tempted beyond their strength. Con-
sequently law was passed directing the
secretary of the treasury to deposit the
surplus with the various states, deposits
to be made in four equal installments and
a reserve of five millions to be kept in the
treasury.
When three installments had been paid
congress repealed the act, in 1899. In the
meantime the sum of $3s, 1O1. 644.9l had been
paid TO the states. The repeating act pro-
vided that the money already deposited
should remain with the states until other
wise directed by congress. Mr.. Murdoch
says the bill proposes simply to have
congress otherwise direct" and order the
money refunded to the treasury. The va
rious sums are still carried on the books
of the treasury department as ''unavafla-
BILE funds
Some of the states have kept these
| funds segregated, among them New York,
which has four million dollars which is
loaned and produces good rate of inter-
est. New Jersey and Delaware are said to
still have their share intact, but Georgia
and other states has not thus kept their
funds and the passage of the Murdoch bill
would cause them a lot of trouble.

Just off Central avenue near a disused
skating rink, officers of the morning
watch saw a man of a peculiarly lunpy
and distended appearance sitting on a
step Saturday. 1t was the gray of the
morning and footsteps sounded wierdly
on the pavement. The peculiar stu1ed
look of the man and his position on the
doorstep at that lonely hour were pro-
ductive of suspicious, and one Of the Of
ficers slapped the man investigatively on
the shoulder. His hand struck some
hard lump. He tried the other shoulder
and found another hard lump. Then he
raised the man up and slapped him
from head to heels, everywhere he found
more Jumps, and when he shook the man
he ratified like a case of cut glass.
Bottles Marked Meat
into the skating rink the officer with
his mariner took the man and went be-
meath the surface in his Investigations.
He started at the top and went care
fully downward Tied about the mans
neck were several pint bottles of whis-
ky. under his arms were more bottles,
and about his waist were still more. His
trousers were also stuffed with them and
each of his coat pockets bulged. Alto
gether, sixteen half-pint bottles were
taken off him. Each bottle wss wrapped
up neatly in brown paper and marked
meat"
After one of the officers had gathered
up the bottles the other took the prisoner
by the shoulder and in the gray OF
morning they toiled towards the police
station. The officer with the bottles
found locomotion difficult in view of his
cumbersome burden, and the prisoner
walked with peculiarly unsteady gait.
At headquarters he was consigned to
a ward, and the desk sergeant was pre-
pairing for another nap, after wistful
inspection of the sixteen pint bottles.
when the turnkey burst forth excitedly.
His complexion was vivid.
Say, that fellows taken off both his
legs" he said. Hes usin one for a
pillow and he's KILN cockroaches with
the other"

While there Is no absolute specific for
cotton rust, II is now generally conclud-
ed that this trouble is due to the i'm
pOverishment of the soil In some ele-
ments necessary for the nutrition Of the

cations Of potash are quite effective In
reducing injury from rust. We would
suggest, therefore, that you use a fer
tiliZer containing a very considerable
amount Of potash, say as much as or
6 per cent. A good mixture to use for
your land would probably be 2 per cent
OF nitrogen, per cent Of phosphoric
acid and per cent OF potash. To make
a fertilizer containing as high per cents
as these you will have to use high-grade
acid phosphate and muriate Of potash

NOTES ON THE COWPEA

cultivation OF the cowpea will make II
possible for the average farmer to have
a large supply OF hay as rich, pound for
pound. in feeding nutrients as alfalfa,
and almost as valuable as wheat bran.
Investigations have now shown that the
hay may be substituted for a portion of
the grain in a ration adapted for feeding
either beef or dairy cattle, and so it is
no wonder that the farmers interests
should center IN the economic production
and utilization Of this wonderful plant.

It is impossible to tell what the trou-
BILE affecting your mules may be without
a clearer description than you have CIV
en-. but from what you say, IL is possible
that the trouble is farcy, which is the
form of glanders which attacks the skin.
II Is generally seen in the region of the
hind legs, and at first appears as a small
firm bunch or punches in the skin. Some
times these are the size Of a hickory nut.
and they often break and discharge an
! amber fluid which is mixed with pus.
These sores are very difficult to heal and
often spread and become raw. This dis
ease may run into CHAMBERS and the muls
have both diseases at once. Animals sus-
pected Of this disease should be isolated
and examined by a competent veterinari-
an. You can easily tell whether the an
imaI has the disease or not by injecting
IL with mallein, and IL a rise Of tempera-
ture follows the injection, It indicates the
presence OF CHAMBERS. While affording an
excellent means of diagnosing this trou-
BILE. Il has no bad effects on the auimsl
Chambers is practically an incurable dis
ease. and animals having IL should be
killed and the carcass burned. The quar-
tiers occupied should be thoroughly disin-
fected by burning all little and trash, and
disinfectinR with a solution Of corrosive
sublimate, one part to 500 parts of water.
For the protection Of other work stock
which YOU may have, as well as the live
stock in your neighborhood, and for your
own satisfaction, we would suggest that
you have a competent veterinarian ex-
anime your animals at once.

piarrhoea may be due 70 sev

Diarrhoea may be due TO several
causes. 1t is an effort of nature to re-
move some irritant from the bowels, and
is commonly met with in domestic ami
mails. Sometimes boiling the food, over
feeding or an insufficient secretion Of
the digestive juices cause the trouble.
Where food in bad condition is fed diar-
rhoea frequently follows, due to fermen-
tation set up by the bacteria contained
In the food. Some horses are especially
predisposed to diarrhoea. These animals
are called by horsemen slab-sided or
washy. AS a rule. the ribs are not well
sprung, and they do not have a round,
full barrel.
You should first look for the cause and
try to remove IL, and then give a dose OF
two ounces of castor oil with one ounce
of laudanum. This is best given as a
drench. 1t is sometimes necessary to
repeat this treatment for several days.
Then, II the trouble is not relieved an
astringent should be used. A tea made
from sleeping the inner bark of the white
oak is used. A cupful a day with an
ounce Of laudanum given as a drench will
generally prove effective. Following this
treatment. a tonic such as Jamaica gin
ger should be given. For horses a one
ounce dose will prove about right.

urSt and second pioWlhB NhASh - SOSs'
to put fertilizer around the corn at the
second blowing and cover with two inches
of dirt, or I'm a furrow six or eight inches
from the corn?
AS we understand it. you desire to plant
your corn in a furrow four or five inches
below the general level of the field, and
then gradually fill in the earth until you
bring it up to the level. There are some
who claim that this method is an advan-
tageous one, and our observation does
not lead us to believe that 1t is seriously
Objectionable, but we can see no materlal
advantage in it, and from our own eX-
perience incline to the belief that lever
planting and shallow cultivation thereaf-
ter to preserve a dust mulch and destroy
weeds is the better and more satisfactory
practice. Those who plant corn below
che level of the ground do so with the
idea, in some instances at least, that the
gradual filling of the furrow by successive
CIVILIZATIONS will help retain the moisture
more effectively. We can not see that II
would be more satisfactory, however, than
the shallow methods of cultivation which
have been found so efficient in late
years.
The testimony of experimental investi-
cations is in favor of applying such fer
tilizers as phosphate and potash previous
to planting corn. On land that has been
prepared by deep blowing, broadcasting
or drilling the fertilizer in is considered
good practice. though some may be put
under the drill row, say one-third to one
half at the time of planting. We doubt
very much the great advantage which
comes from a second or third application
of phosphates and potash to crop OF
corn in the late season. On the other
hand, we believe that applications OF
nitrogen may sometimes prove very val-
liable. In a wet season, second and third
applications when the crop is partly made
often prove profitable; in dry season we
hardly think this will prove to be the
case.
