what was then termed a very fair edu-
cation in the elementary branches of an
English education. At the age of seven

county for coast defense. lie was in

soda to go on it. Would like your advice
on these matters.
Your mule is evidently suffering from
indigestion and collie, and it is not sur
prising that this should be the case
II IL only occurs after long. hard
drive of fifteen miles. It is quite likely
that the trouble is partially due to over
feeding and injudicious watering. When
mules are put on the road they should
not be fed heavily before making a long
journey and water should only be given
In moderate amounts. The mule should
be allowed to rest before feeding The
best plan Is to water the animal spar
mgiy after long journey and give a
light feeding OF hay. When cool and
thoroughly rested. more water may be
given. followed by the customary feed
ing Of grain. Allowing the animal to drink
a large quantity Of water when over
heated is liable TO induce collie, and also
dilutes the digestive juices to a point
where they fail TO act properly. For. collie
baking soda in tablespoonful doses in
hot water given as a drench will often
prove effective. Essence OF peppermint In
tablespoonful doses. Jamaica ginger in
two-ounce doses and laudanum in one
ounce doses. all given In hot water are
common remedies for this trouble When
the pain has subsided IL Will probably be
well TO give the animal a good dose OF
salts TO clean out the alimentary tract
and remove any undigested food which
may ferment and cause further irrita-
ton. Then light feeding should be fol-
lowed for a few days and easily di
gested food given. Be certain that the
corn you are feeding is in first-class
condition, as the trouble may be caused
from its being musty or moldy.
With regard TO your corn, we would
fertilize II at the rate OF 200 pounds
per acre right away, using for this pur-
pose the S-2-2 fertilizer. Later on when
!. is beginning TO silk and tassel an ap-
plicstion of nitrate of soda will be in
order.

FERTILIZERS FOR SUGAR CANE

ever. be available to plants the first year.
While II is possible for the planter OF
sugar cane 10 greatly reduce the amount
Of nitrogen which he needs TO supply his
crop through the growing OF cowpeas on
the land, he can not supply the potash
and phosphoric acid save in commercial
forms. II would appear from these fig
ures, therefore, which must be consid-
cred as extremely modest. that at least
500 pounds Of high grade phosphoric acid
and 100 pounds OF sulphate OF potash would
have 20 be supplied to each acre of land
devoted to cane 10 keep the plant food ele-
ments UP TO their present amount. Com
paratively small amounts of nitrogen
would be needed II an abundant crop of
cowpeas were turned under, as the legume
should have the power OF gathering or
dinarily 100 pounds of nitrogen per acre.
When nitrogen is TO be supplied, however,
IL is probable that cotton seed meal. ac-
cording to the Investigations OF Dr.
Stubs, will furnish II most economically.
II is true that better results were OBJ
tanned in his Investigations from the use
OF sulphate of ammonia, but the cost was
50 much greater that the cotton seed meal
became relatively the most satisfactory
source OF nitrogen. There Is one objec-
ton TO the use of cowpeas under sugar
cane in q climate where the season is
comparatively short. as 1t prolongs the
growing season too much. and offsets the
advantage OF quick maturity gained
through the use Of phosphates and pot
ash.
While there is some diversity OF opinion
as to the best form Of potash TO use
with sugar cane, IL is generally believed
that sulphate is the most desirable. 1t
not only furnishes the food in a quickly
available form and is a concentrated ma
terial, but has less Objectionable infiu-
ence on the refining of the juices extract
ed from the cane. A review OF the situ-
alton but confirms the opinion that the
more liberal use Of mineral elements, par
ticularly phosphates and potash, will be
found profitable In the cultivation of
sugar cane.
