SORE SHOULDERS OF HORSES
AND MULES.
Clemson College Extension Work
Article xXXvTI.

The cause OF sore shoulders can
almost invariably be traced to Ill
htting or filthy collars. Owners. as
rule. pay little attention to the fit
ting OF collars and their care and
consequently most farmers have one
or more horses or mules with sore
shoulders during their busy season.
The chafing OF III fitting collars
cause Inflammation and abrasion of
the skin and. in many instances. in
jury OF the deeper tissues. Quite
frequently deep seated assesses
form above the shoulder Joint at the
lower part Of the collar seat. These
Assesses and the growth of fbrous
tissue which form in this region re-
quire surgical treatment but simple
abrasions and infammations OF the
skin yield readily to treatment II
treated promptly.
In this. as In all diseased condi-
tions, II is necessary to remove the
cause. This can be done by keeping
collars clean and by seeing that they
ut as the shoulders will not be chat
ed and bruised. The practice of re-
moving collars and bathing shoulders
at midday Is one OF the best preven-
tive measures that can be adopted.
As soon as the skin OF the should
ers appears sensitive, 1t should be
bathed several times daily with a
solution OF alum or other astringent
solution. Removal OF pressure from
the infiamed skin Is absolutely nee
essary and II this cannot be accom-
plished by changing the style Of COL
lar or other method. the animal
should be rested until the shoulders
heal.
Abcesses which occur at the point
OF shoulder should be opened as soon
as they form. syrlnged daily with suit
able antiseptic solutions. and be kept
open until the discharge ceases. Fail
ure to do this will result in the for
nation OF hard fibrous tumors which
can only be removed by operation.

THE GOODWIN BOND,
Some Facts as to It's Reduction.
From the Daily Item, April 29.

From the Daily Item April 29.
Yesterdays article in the Daily
Item relative to the operations of
Prof. Goodwin, and the efforts of
one Mrs. Margaret Raymond to turn
him over to the Sumter County Off
cials for trial has aroused consid-
cradle interest in the community, es-
pecially the reference Of Mrs. Ray
mond as to the five hundred dollars
handed to some one here by Frank
). Ryan, Goodwin's pal, in order to
secure a reduction in the amount Of
bond for the foxy fortune teller.
Magistrate Hardy was seen today
and questioned in reference to this
matter, and he states that it was his
Intention TO allow the amount of bond
to remain as first fixed by him, the
same being in the sum Of $4,000,
and that every effort was made to
get him to reduce it before applica-
tion for a reduction was made before
Associate Justice Gary, and that
he positively and psrsistantly re-
fused to consider any proposal with
that object in view. AS set out in his
return to the Associate Justice, Mag
lstrate Hardy considered Goodwin a
desperate criminal, and that he should
be held for trial on a bond sufficient
to insure his appearance at court
when the case was called.
After the bond had been reduced
by order Of court to $4,000, the at
torneys representing the prosecution
and the defense submitted to magis.
trate Hardy a proposition mutually
agreed to by the parties directly in
interests, that If fell restitution to
the prosecutor of his entire loss in
cluding all losts incident to the ap-
| prehesnsion and arrest Of the ac-
cused, and the payment to the Coun-
ty OF all moneys advanced by it In
| order to arrest and bring back Good
win to South Carolina, that Goodwin
should be admitted to bond Of the
sum Of $3.50. Magistrate Hardy then
submitted the proposition to Super
visor Pitts and some Of the members
OF the County Board. and upon their
| approval of the same Goodwin was
admitted to bond in the sum Of $3.50
in cash. after the payment Of the
| amounts above indicated. totaling in
all the sum Of $3.50. This bond was
estreated at the next term Of the

Dave Sanders, Albertus Elliott and
jim Ross, the three negroes supposed
TO nave been implicated in the steal
ing that has been going on in the city
were dismissed by Magistrate Wells
saturday as there was no evil
dence upon which to hold them.
The two negroes, Jim Ross and
Albertus Elliott were in fact never
arrested as the only testimony against
them was statement made by Jake
BLACK, who had the goods on him
when he was canght. Elliott and
Ross were merely questioned by the
magistrate as to whether or not they
knew anything about the stealing and
as they both testified as to their hay-
ing been at work at the time that the
stealing was going on they could not
be held and no warrants were sworn
out for them. Sanders was arrested
as he had been in charge Of the hack
that was stolen from Eli King at the
time that 1t was stolen and as he had
been seen with Black previous to the
stealing.

Of seventy-seven members to King
Valdemar to demand increased rights
and privileges in their trade with Den
mark. The delegates were not very
respectful in their language and de-
meanor, and the king, who was at
VordingbOrg, told them they acted like
drove of geese and clapped them
into prison in the tower, telling them
they would stay there until they learn
ed better manners. Over the heavy
tower door the king put up a stone
with the inscription:
Sieben und siebenteg Hause:
Sieben und siebenteg Ganse;
Ware nicht so viele Hause
Hat ich auch nicht so viee Ganse
Translated this reads: Seventy
seven houses and seventy-seven geese.
If there were not so many houses

stands solid and strong, was placed O..

The Jerboa and the Melons.


An odd fact relative to q little Afrt-

cial Of Khartum:
The jerboa or kangaroo rat is found
In considerable numbers in places miles
and miles away from any water or
even dew, and | was at loss to un-
rstand how these little animals could
exist through the ten months of
drought. 1t appears. however, that
after the scanty rains small wild
melon Of bitter taste. but full of juice,
fiOurishes in the desert. The jerboa.
as soon as the melon is ripe, bites off
the stem and proceeds to dig away
the sand under the melon, so that ii
gradually sinks below the level Of the
ground. The constant wind soon COW
ers 1T with six to eight inches of sand,
which protects it from the scorching
sun and from drying up. When all
other moisture has evaporated the jer-
boa goes to his larder and drinks the
juice of the melon till the rains come
on again. One jerboa will bury as
mhny as forty Of these little melons
to last him through the dry season.

Care OF Brood Sows.

The following article by Prof A.

some interesting suggestions:
Plenty OF exercise Is necessary dur
ing the whole period of pregnancy.
which CAL best DE provided by fur
nishing suitable pssturts for grazing.
In this State green forage can be pro-
vided every month in the year. For
a permanent pasture Bermuda grass
with bur end white clover Is unex-
celicd. This supplemented with rye.

beans. chufas. peanuts. rape. red and
crimson clover. and sorghum--as for
age crops-with skim milk and slops
from ;he house mixed with wheat
mtddlings. bran. ground oats and
corn. provides ideal feed and con-
ditions for brood sows and for pro-
ducing pork at a minimum cost. Nu-
merous feeding trials prove that sows
feed extensively on corn and other
carbonaceous rations give birth to
small litters that lack vigor and often
results In rendering tho SOW useless
as a BREEDER. while rations containing
the required amount OF nitrogenous
feed. obtained from clovers, peas,
beans. vetch. oats brans. ETC.. result in
large. vigorous litters and keep the
SOW In excellent condi ion.
In this climate II Is advisable 10
have sows farrow in March or April.
The pigs then get good start be-
fore the hot weather come on and are
weaned In time To have the sows
bred to farrow again in September or
October. This gives the little pig
sufficient age and size To stand the
winter conditions. The period of
CESSATION with sows Is about 112 days.
The date OF breeding should always
be noted and about week or ten
days before farrowing the SOW should
be put In a clean pen not less than
six feet by eight feet with a der
around the sides about eight inches
from the bOor and eight or ten inch
es from the side tn prevent the SOW
