Horse Diseases.

Perhaps fifty horses have died
in this city and vicinity this win
ter. The following is from the
horse book of the U. S. Bureau
of Animal Industry:
This disease prevails among
horses in nearly all parts of the
United States. 1t is most COM
mon in Maryland, Delaware, Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, New York,
Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, In
diana, and Ohio. Certain locali-
ties are visited by it almost every
year. This condition consists in
a poisoning and depression Of
the nervous system from eating
or drinking food or water con-
tanning poison generated by
mold or bacteria. 1t has been
shown to be due to eating dam
aged ensilage, corn, brewers
grains, oats, etc, or to drinking
stagnant pond water or water
from a we'll contaminated by sur
face drainage. Horses at pas
ture may contract this disease
when the growth of grass is so
profuse that it mats together and
the lower part dies and ferments
or becomes moldy.
In England a similar disease
has been called grass staggers, "
due to eating rye grass when it
is ripening or when it is cut and
eaten while it is heating and
undergoing fermentation. In
eastern Pennsylvania it was for
merly known by the name of
''putrid sore throat" and "chok-
ing distemper." A disease SINH
lar in many respects, which is
very prevalent in Virginia, es-
pecially along the eastern bor-
der, is commonly known by the
name of blind staggers, and in
many of the Southers States this
has been attributed to the con-
sumption of worm-eaten corn.
Horses of all ages and mules are
subject to this disease.
SYMPTOMS. -The symptoms
which typify sporadic, or cpl
demic, cerebro-spinal meningitis
in man are not witnessed among
horses, namely, excessive pain,
high fever, and early muscular
rigidity. In the recognition OF
the severity of the attack we
may divide the symptoms into
three grades. In the most rap
idly fatal attacks the animals
may first indicate it by weak,
staggering gait, partial or total
inability to swallow solids or
liquids, impairment of eyesight;
twitching of the muscles, and
slight cramps may be observed.
AS a rule, the temperature is not
elevated-indeed, it is sometimes
below normal. This is soon fol-
lowed by a paralysis of the whole
body, inability to stand, delirium
in which the animal sometimes
goes through a series of auto
ma tic movements as if trotting
or running; the delirium may be-
come very violent and the animal

would be we'll for stock men to

Setting Bermuda.
(By +. A. Mitchell, Chandler,
Okla, special agent U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture.

partment of Agricultural
There is no best way of set
ting bermuda. There are many
good ways. The best way for
us is with a manure spreader.
Pillow around the land in the ber-
muda sod about three burrows.
Drive spreader upon green sward,
load sods with forks into spread
er, drive to field, place in gear,
distribute from six to ten tons
per acre. Follow with stirring
pillow. Firm them under, har-
row and continue to harrow at
suitable intervals until the grass
covers the ground.
In this manner two men with
teams will set two or three acres
day. Don't be afraid of cover
ing the roots. Only be afraid
that the dirt will not be sufficient
ly packed around them. Do the
work we'll if you desire the best
of results. Another good way is
to have the roots in boxes where
they may be kept moist. A pillow
and a man to follow, dropping
the roots into the newly made
furrow. The roots will be cover.
ed at the next round. When the
team overtakes the man doing
the dropping let him step aside
until the team passes. In this
way with the roots in boxes Con-
veniently located one man can
drop as much as a team can plow.
The time required to prepare the
roots depends upon the skill of
the man and the character of
the soil from which they are
taken. If your roots are pur-
chased from a dealer this is a
most excellent way. Future cul-
tivationS with the harrow. Never
mind whether the rows are
straight or not. There wont be
any rows by July, nor vacant
places upon the ground. With
good conditions the ground will
be covered.
Another method which is very
popular with US is to list the
ground as for corn, two or three
men drop roots in newly listed
burrows. Cover with cultivator
three or more inches deep. At
convenient times harrow ridges
until the grass covers the ground.
Such an outfit will set from five
to seven acres a day. AS much |
as a team can list or cultivate.
We have tried using all kinds
of nurse crops so as to get a crop
the first year. 1t never has paid.
1t has paid as best to set our
bermuda upon the best possible
seed bed. Cultivate it
as thoroughly as we would any
crop. Then Craze it from Sep
TENDER on. In this way we get
more pasture from an acre of
bermuda the first year than we
do from native grass any year.
Bermuda can be set in the row
with corn or having the corn
rows wide apart put between the
rows.

coma takes place in quiet until
he expires. Death in'these cases
usually takes place in from four
to twenty-four hours from the
time the first symptoms become
manifest. The pulse is variable
during the progress of the dis
ease; it may be almost impercep-
tible at times, and then again
very rapidly and irregular; the
respirations generally are quick
and catching. In the next form
in which this disease may de-
velop it first becomes manifest by
a difficulty in swallowing and
slowness in mastication, and
weakness which may be first
noticed in the strength of the
tail; the animal will be unable
to switch it or to offer resistance
when we bend it up over the
Group. The pulse is often a lit
tie slower than normal. There
is no evidence of pain; the res
pirations are unchanged, and the
temperature little less than nor
NAL; the bowels may be some
what constipated. These symp-
toms may remain unchanged for
two or three days and then grad
ual improvement take place, or
the power to swallow may be-
come entirely lost and the weak
ness and uncertainty in gait
more and more perceptible; then
sleepiness or coma may appear;
the pulse becomes depressed,
slow, and weak, the breathing
stertorous, and paroxysms of de-
lirium develop, with inability to
stand, and some rigidity of the
spinal muscles or partial cramp
of the neck and jaws. In such
cases death may occur in from
six to ten days from the COM
mencement of the attack. In
many cases there is no evidence
of pain, spasm, or fever at any
time during the progress of the
disease, and finally profound
coma develops and death follows,
painless and without a struggle.
In the last or mildest form the
inability of voluntary control of
the limbs becomes but slightly
the power of swallow
ing never entirely lost, and the
has no fever, pain, or UNI
conscious movements. Generally
the animals will begin to improve
about the fourth day and re-
covers.
In a few cases the spinal SYM
ptoms, manifested by paraplegia,
may be the most prominent SYM
ptoms, in others they may be al
together absent and the main
be difficulty in masti-
cation and swallowing; rarely it
may affect one limb only. In all
cases where coma remains absent
for six to seven days the animal
Is likely to recover. When
changes toward recovery take
place, the symptoms usually
cave in the reverse order in
which they developed, but local
may remain for some
time, rarely persistent.
One attack does not give i'm
for it may recur at some
ater time and prove fatal.
Horses have been known to pass
three attacks, being af-
.ected for a week or longer each
line.
TREATMENT. I'm the worst
lass of cases treatment is very
ieldom successful, and it is dam
yerour to attempt the. admins
ration of medicine by the mouth
N account of the inability of the
Inimal to swallow. If the con-
IitiOn of the animal will admit

tory style of acting are visible now adays. There was time, both Tn this country and in England, when an ae- tor mouthed his lines horribly, roareo and ranted and raised the roof al every opportunity, but that style ot acting is no longer popular. The pres ent day theatregoer demands that a player be perfectly natural. As re- suit some very popular stars simply play themselves year after year, ind ing the practice both easy and profit able. Louis James, who died a year or two ago, was one of the survivors ot an earlier school of tragedians. MT. James was a fine gentleman, of schol- arly attachments. In the latter part of his career he adapted himself more to the modern idea of acting. Fred erick Warde is another of the older tragedians who has played practically all the heroic roles with which the average school boy is familiar. Law renee Barrett was a great old roarer in his day and won much renown at it. He was really capable actor and his name will always occupy promi- nent place in the early history of the American stage.
 We are becoming accustomed to the perfectly ladylike complaints of Max inc Elliott, who does not wish to be known simply as stage beauty Miss Elliott's ambition is laudable, but she has been on the stage for some time now and beauty has been her most valuable asset. Miss Elliott, Miss Bar rvn1ore and Miss Billie Rurke have all to thank Dame Nature for bestowing upon them unusual graces of person, graces which have helped to make them extremely popular with the play going public. However, it must be said in justice to Miss Barrymore that she probably has more ability than both of her beauteous contemporaries com bined Then we must not forget Miss Russell, that marvel of unfadine splendor, whose physical perfections and sartorial accomplishments have kept her on the top wave of popu- larity.
