The Ambulance Call
Louisville Courier-Journal.

A Main street business man had an ex-
perience the other evening that he has
not yet fully recovered from. He admits
that 1t caused him to lose his mental
poise, and that he had a hard time going
back to sleep after he had been through
it He was called from bed by the tele-
phone ringing, and when he answered the
call gruff voice asked: do you want
that ambulance sent over right awayr'
what ambulance are you talking
about?" responded the sleepy citizen in
rather irritated tones.
why, the one you sent for. Of course "
returned the voice, it, too, showing signs
of irritation.
IT didn't send for any ambulance" an
nounced the business man, wondering
why he should have been walked for such
a silly message.
YOU'RE a liar" the other fellow stated
calmly
The victim looked at his receiver to
make sure that it was sound and had
transmitted the message properly, and
hen he shouted back: II am, am 1?
Well, you just come along with that am
bulance of yours, and I'll send you back
in it!'
But it didn't show up.

width to handle. The most favorable
temperature probably is about 66 degrees
+. Probably the best manure TO use
for mushroom growing is that obtained
from the horse stable in a fresh condition.
It should be thrown into a heap and wet
well, If dry, and left to steam. Then 1t
should be later shaken thoroughly and
evenly mixed and tramped down solid. Let
1t stand until 1t gets warm again and re-
peat the process, wetting freely. After
turning several times it is ready for use.
It is well TO add to the manure one-fourth
of its bulk of rich loan.
When the beds are prepared a layer OF
six inches of we'll moistened hot manure
from the stables should be put in the
bottom, and then the prepared manure
placed on top. The latter should. be put
on thinly and if the bed becomes too
warm. delay the completion of the work
until it has cooled off. When the bed is
completed cover with straw to arrest the
escape of moisture When the tempera-
ture has fallen to 80 degrees F., the
straw should be removed and large
brick of spawn broken up into II or l5
pieces and set in rows about one foot
apart and nine inches apart in the row.
Cover two or three inches deep. AT the
end of eight or nine days remove the
straw and cover the bed with layer OF
rich loan two inches thick.
This is the method usually pursued in
growing mushrooms. You viii see while
it entails some trouble to prepare the
beds that after they are once made, but
little difficulty will be experienced in
growing the crop. Some people succeed
we'll the first time they attempt to grow
mushrooms, and others have many diff
culties to overcome Experience, Of
course, is needed to insure success.

Cotton seed meal may be fed in limited
amounts to ewes in thin condition TO
good advantage. The idea that it will pro
6uce abortion or interfere in any way
with the early mating Of this class o.
stock Is erroneous. AS I have stated re-
peatedly cotton seed meal is much
very concentrated food in comparison
with those most ordinarily used that peo-
pie have injured their stock on occasions
by feeding too much of it, but when fed
under rational conditions and with good
Judgment only beneficial results have fol
lowed with sheep as well as cattle. We
would not advise feeding over one-quarter
of a pound per head per day to begin
with and. certainly not more than one-half
a pound at any time. We would prefer TO
feed the smaller amount, and think that
better results will always follow where
YOU feed a little crushed corn, oats or
bran We have used it alone with sat-
isfaction. but think il makes a better ra-
ton when mixed with the other grain
suggested. AS flesh former cotton seed
meal is very fine. and it also supplies the
system of the animal with plenty of pro-
tein which is necessary for the proper
maintenance of the fleece in sheep. 1t Is
certainly good practice to feed the AM
mails a little grain when the pastureS
are poor, and especially when they have
been, handled as suggested in your letter
and are in a thin condition. There Is
nothing with which the writer is ac-
ouainted that will furnish protein as
cheaply as a high grade of cotton seeo
meal. and If fed under the conditions sug-
gested no difficulty need be experienced
in feeding it to ewes.

Mushroom growing is quite extensively
developed in some sections where there
are large centers of consumption. AS the
mushroom is a perishable product II is
necessary to market it very promptly, and
the best commercial results will probably
be obtained when one is situated close to
a large consuming center. The mushroom
is really the fruit of the plant itself. The
plant is a white or blush white mold. and
is called the spawn. II develops in fields
and manure piles and in it's first stages Of
growth has the appearance Of a network
Of white threads. The problem of the
grower. therefore, is to keep the spawn
alive and spreading. When this is done
the production Of mushrooms naturally
follows The common mushroom grows

The sores on the udder of your cow vol
probably yield to the following treatment
First battle and cleanse the udder very
thoroughly with tepid water. Then disin-
feet the sores with some antiseptic solu-
ton. CarDolic acid will answer very well
for this purpose, dissolving one part OF
acid in 30 parts of water. Another good
lntiseptic and disinfectant to use is ere
olin, one part to 100 parts of water. The
treatment should be repeated at least
once daily, and probably more often. In
this way the bacteria or whatever is caus-
ing the trouble will be destroyed. Some
times trouble such as you describe oc-
ours in full-blooded animals and the use
of Epson salts as a purgative will often
be found helpful in effecting cure. Give
the salts at the rate of one to one and
half pounds as a drench. 1t should be
given every other day for three days. and
it may be repeated in a week. 1t might
be we'll to keep your cow in the lot for
few days so as to avoid reinfection Of
the udder, as the trouble may be due to
something occurring in the pasture.

in Spanish ground peas as compared WIN
corn for feeding to hogs.
Corn meal ordinarily contains about 90
per cent of protein, 6S.7 per cent of car
bohydrates and 3.S per cent of fat. Wheat
bran contains about 1874 per cent Of pro-
tein, 6O.4 per cent of carbohydrates and
per cent of fat Peanut kernels contain
about 266 per cent Of protein, 10 per cent
Of carbohydrates and AZ per cent of fat;
peanut vines 10 per cent of protein, AZ
per cent of carbohydrates and sc per cent
Of fat. Peanuts, including the whole
plant, contain about 1874 per cent of pro-
tein, 4O.1 per cent of carbohydrates and
21.5 per cent of fat Alfalfa hay contains
143 per cent Of protein, 427 per cent of
carbohydrates and % per cent of fat.
You will see, therefore, that the whole
peanut plant is richer IN protein and fat
than alfalfa hay. which is considered al
most equivalent in feeding value when
finely ground to wheat bran. You will
notice that the peanut plant is very rich
in protein Protein is the element which
builds muscles and nerves and tissues in
the growing animal Carbohydrates are
concerned in providing heat and force for
the animal organism. The fat is also
more or less used for the same purpose,
though it is concerned in other functions
of the animal body as well. You VIII
thus see that the peanut is very much
richer than corn meal or wheat bran in
food constituents, and it is no wonder
that it furnishes almost an ideal crop
for the fattening of hogs. In fact, it may
be successfully substituted for this pur-
pose in many sections where corn does
not grow we'll. The crop is easy to grow
and much easier to harvest than corn
since the hogs do the work themselves.
There is a tendency of course, for hogs
fed on peanuts exclusively. to produce
a soft and oily fat. This difficulty may
be overcome by feeding partly or exctus-
lively on corn for two or three weeks be-
fore the time of slaughtering.
