TOO MANY GERMS
IN BOSTON ICE CREAM

BOSTON. July 25.-Announcement that
55,OO0,O0O bacteria had been found in a
half teaspoonful of ice cream by the Bos-

board of health, that he would ask the
legislature TO pass an emergency measure

application of 100 to $50 pounds or nj

No one can determine this factor exactly
for you without seeing the crop. The use
of 300 pounds of nitrate of soda per
acre on corn would ordinarily be about
three times as much as is necessary.
WORMS IN HORSES

Before giving medicine for the de-

your horse sparingly for "a to 4S hours.
This gives the medicine an opportunity
to act briskly. One of the best treat

TREATMENT FOR A SICK MULE.
]. r. S., Leathersville, Ca. writes: /
have a mule that has not been we'll for
four or five weeks, it is difficult for
him to put his head to the ground and
get it up again. 1 also have a mule
with a hard knot Just below the ankle
joint on the outside of the kind foot
also want treatment for one that can
hardly walk when first brought out of
the stable.
The mule referred to may be suffer-
ing either from paralysis or rheumatism.
In paralysis there is generally no evI-
dence of pain but the animal loses con-
troll of parts of the body, just as de-
scribed in your letter. The best treat
ment is to rub the affected part with
stimulating liniment. Nux vomica may
be given in 30-ounce doses, three times
daily. Should any twitching of the mus
cles occur the use of the nux vomica
should be discontinued. The lump on
the side of the leg is no doubt due to
an injury which may be reduced very
likely by painting with tincture of iodine
once daily until it becomes sore, when
treatment should cease. Blistering the
part might also be helpful. Your thru
mule is apparently suffering from colo
or rheumatism. This is often brought
on by keeping the animals in damp,
draughty stables. Remove the cause, IN
such exist, and the animal will generally
quickly return to a normal condition.
Give laxative foods for few days and
a mild purgative to open the bowels.
The affected muscles and joints may be
bathed with warm water and the parts
dried and we'll rubbed with
liniment which will not bis
ter the skin.

Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1911-07-28

The advisability of using additional fer
tilizer on your corn crop depends alto
gether on the period of development
which ii has reached at this time. II the
corn was sown very early and it is now
in silk and tassel, the use of additional
fertilizer will be inadvisable If it was
sown late and is just getting ready to
silk and tassel, then the use of some nj
trate will be good practice. You can de-
termine whether nitrate is needed or not
by the general appearance and thrift
ness of the crop II it is a dark green
color and is growing vigorously, nitrate
would hardly seem necessary unless
seasonal conditions continue to be very
unfavorable The application you have
made should be sufficient to meet the
needs of an extra large yield. On soil
which has been at all well prepared and
you have selected your variety with re-
gard to it's adaptability to your local
conditions. II nitrate of soda is used 1t Is
best applied as a top dressing alongside
the drill row at the rate of 100 pounds
per acre, and should be put on when the
corn is beginning TO silk and tassel, as
this will stimulate the crop at a time
when it needs as much help as possible
You will find that late and thorough
cultivation of your corn will be very
helpful in enabling the crop to take up
the fertilizer you have put in the soil
and will give you a correspondingiy
large yield.

Congress, which is to be held here

public Of both North and South Amer

the necessity of getting ready for the
commercial changes which will be
brought about by the opening of the
Panama canal. The conference will
be unique in that no platform or res
olutions of a controversial nature will
be considered,
