BUREAU OF DRAINAGE
LOCATED AT WAYCR0SS

wAYCROss. Ca, Aug. 1.-THE Unit
ed States bureau of drainage have es-
tablished drainage headquarters Tor
Georgia at Waycross, which will be in
charge Of Mr.. J. v. Phillips. Mr.. Phil
lips will begin drainage work in differ
ent parts of the state now pretty soon.
He expects the drainage movement to
assume big proportions in the state
within a very short time.
Mr.. Phillips says that the action of
the Georgia legislature in granting
money for the purpose of aiding in a
careful survey of the .cwamp lands OF
the state with view to their ultimate
drainage will no doubt result in the
state deriving considerable revenue
from the taxation Of these waste lands
because those who own the lands will
be glad to avail themselves of the OPP
portunity to have them drained. since IL
will open up for cultivati IN thousands
of acres Of the most fertile land in the
state.

BRONCHITIS IN CATTLE
G. W. E., Huntsville, Ala, writes: I
have calf about five weeks old and
there seems to be something the mat
ter with it's throat or lungs. 1t pants
all the time and seems to suffer great
deal. 1t coughs and sneezes a great
deal. / have smoked 1t with pine tar
and have given it salts, but it does not
seem to get any better. I would like
to know what to do for it.
Your calf evidently has Bronchitis. I
would suggest that you keep the animal
in a well ventilated stable. Blanket its
body during the colder days, and admin
lister the following treatment:
Spirits Of Niter, ounce; Aromatic
spirits of ammonia, ounce; powdered
camphor, 1 dram.
This to be given at one dose in a
pint of linseed tea every four hours.
The linseed tea may be made by soak
ing a quantity Of the linseed, or flax
seed, with hot water, let it stand for
sometime, and drain off the fluid. The
linseed may then be used in the feed.
Give the calf choice of food and
provide a variety, and also provide a
supply of clean cool water at all times.
