The first news of Mr.. Mix's landing
was conveyed in a personal dispatch to
the Associated Press, dated Ostrolenka.
The aeronaut said:
LANDED IN TREE.
'I landed in the midst of large pine

ballast was exhausted when / came down.
At present 1 am in the hands OF the po-
lice, but all is going well.
1t is impossible to explain why Mr.. Mix
should have been molested by the Rus

provided at Zurich, before starting, with
a special Russian passport guaranteed by
the Russian minister to Switzerland, TO
protect them against annoyance.

up at once with the Russian authorities.
The distance from Zurich to the point
where Mix landed has been given as ], 100

He made his Journey through fog and
binding transforms which compelled al

wistful-eyed policemen paced back and

Your mule is evidently suffering from
what is known as moist cough, which is
generally characterized by the expulsion
of a considerable amount of mucus through
the air passages. The cough has been Of
such long standing that its treatment will
probably be difficult, and as its origin
may be due to one of several things, IT
is hard to suggest a satisfactory remedy
You should examine the animal very
carefully and see II you can find any ir-
ritating cause, and II so, remove the
same. See that the feed used is fresh,
clean and dry and free from dust, and
protect the animal from draughts and
colds. Animals becoming overheated may
take a little cold from time TO time, and
so develop a sort of catarrhal condition,
OF the air passages may become perma-
nently affected. We would suggest that
you try the following cough mixtures:
Fluid extract OF belladonna, IL ounce;
pulverized opium, 1-2 ounce; pulverized
gum camphor. drains; chloride of am
monia, 1-2 ounce. These materials should
be mixed with molasses and a sufficient
amount OF flour to make eight ounces of
paste. Make a small wooden paddle and
daub about as much as a teaspoonful will
hold on the back teeth three times daily.

Lumpy jaw or actinomycosis is a dis
ease resulting from the activity of q
vegetable organism which gains admission
to the tissues and produces a tumor or
lump as a result OF it's development This
lump usually appears in the region of the
head or neck. The first indication of the
trouble is a slight swelling, usually on
the face or lower Jaw. AS a rule, the
trouble is due to the bullying outward Of
disease having obtained entrance to the
bone by working it's way along the roots
of the teeth. AS the disease develops
the tumor enlarges and finally breaks
discharging a pus which is sticky in
character NAs a rule, it does not dinin-
ish in size. Sometimes it heals tempo
rarily, but develops and breaks again
Sometimes the teeth become liberated
and the animal is unable to chew it's
food. This trouble is seldom seen in
calves. If the tumor is free from the
bone the best treatment is to cut it out
with knife and treat as a simple wound
with disinfectants until it heals up. Some
times 1t can be cured by giving iodide Of
potash internally in doses of one to three
drains once daily dissolved in a half pint
of water. In week or so what is known
as 'iodism" sets UP as indicated by the
discharge of the nose and eyes and the
rough condition of the skin. When this
stage in the treatment develops the medi-
cine should be stopped. In most cases
the tumor disappears and the animal

is not sufficient it should be repeated in

II you are certain that the straw was
removed from the eye OF your horse and
complet recovery made, the trouble which
you describe may be due to either simple
or periodic opthalmia. Probably the best
treatment you can give under the circum-
stances would be to battle the eye with
hot water three times daily for at least
20 minutes and apply a few drops Of a
solution Of boric acid prepared in the pro-
portion of one dram to three ounces of
water. The solution should be put in the
eye with a dropper twice daily. II the
trouble is due to moon blindness or pc
riodic opthalmia, 1t will be difficult If
not impossible TO effect a cure, and par

II has a very red stiff subsoil. I wish
20 plant this land in wheat and manure

what proportion to mix the three. and
how much to use per acre. How about

An excellent fertilizer for wheat can
be prepared by using high grade acid
phosphate. kainit and cottonseed meal.
Ordinarily we prefer to use the muriate
OF potash. because IL is a more concen-
trated form Of plant food, and while
costing more per ton, in our experience
It has always supplied a pound OF avail
able plant food at a lower cost than kali
nit. There n no reason why a suitable
fertilizer for wheat should not answer
very well for oats. Oats probably need
a fertilizer containing a little more nitro
gen than wheat. but since you propose to
use nitrate Of soda in the spring. this diff
ference in the food requirements Of the
two crops can be obviated by using lit
tie heavier application of nitrate. We
would suggest that for your oats you use
$50 pounds per acre as a top dressing in
the spring. and for wheat say 100 pounds.
fertilizer suitable for sandy land should
contain a fair amount of potash and SOM
paratively speaking, there would be so
little difference in the food requirements
OF the soil types described In your let
ter that the same fertilizer would answer
very well for both.
I always feel II important to empha-
size the necessity OF having vegetable
matter in the soil. This is Of quite as
much Importance as the use Of fertilizer.
I feel that many OF our farmers would
get much better results from the use Of
fertilizer II they grew peas and other
cover crops more freely and increase the
vegetable matter, In the soil.
A very good fertilizer for wheat may be
prepared as follows: Mix together 1000
pounds Of high-grade acid phosphate.
$50 pounds OF muriate OF potash and 200
pounds OF high-grade cottonseed meal,
that is. containing per cent Of nitro
gen; not per cent of ammonia. This
would make a total weight Of 1850 pounds
and you would have to add 40 pounds OF
rich compost to bring the total weight up
to 1900 pounds. This fertilizer would con-
tain approximately "a per cent Of nitro
gen, 81 per cent of phosphoric acid and
A6 per cent of potash. 1t should be used
at the rate Of about 300 pounds per acre.
AS kainit contains only II per cent OF
available potash. you will see that IL
would take about 200 pounds to supply the
same amount of available potash secured
in $50 pounds of muriate Of potash. 1t is
for this reason that we suggest that you
use the muriate.
