AN INTERESTING LETTER
FOR PRACTICAL FARMERS
Mr., Cunningham of the State
College of Agriculture Writes
on Ten-Day Course
Dear Farmers:

Dear Farmers
am interested deeply in better farm
ing and want to do everything possible
to assist you in bringing about the de-
sired end. Hence I am addressing this
letter to you through your county paper.
I want to be of service to you not only
through the Boys Corn clubs. but in any
other way possible.
1 am writing to suggest that you
take advantage of the Farmers Ten-Day
Short Course offered by the State Col
lege of Agriculture. Athens, Ca, begin
ming January 2. 1913, and continuing
until January IA.
know farmer in Sumter county
who took this ten-day short course in
1910. Before that time he was thought
of as only a common farmer. AS result
of that ten-day course he has revolu-
tionized the farming in his community
and other farmers took the course in
1911 and 1912.
Your railroad fare there and back
and your expenses while in Athens
should not exceed $25, and 1 know the
benefit you will receive from the course
will be repaid to you a hundred fold.
You see you can go at a time when
you are least busy.
Athens is a beautiful city, a place
where you will be glad to visit. You
are entitled to a vacation after hard
years work and there is no better way
nor place to take 1t.
1 shall be there and shall be glad to
be of any service to you in making the
trip for you the most pleasant possible.
If you contemplate going please no
tify me at once and I shall be glad
to have literature sent to you.
Sincerely.

WINTER RATIONS FOR HORSES
AND MULES.
W. b. B., Penfield, Ga, writes: l have
a lot of horses and mules to feed

with it all the cotton seed meal the

Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1912-12-20

AS you probably know, small
amount of cotton seed meal, about one
fifth of the ration may be fed for from
sixty to ninety days to hogs with safe
ty. This ration should not be. fed for
more than sixty days: at a time where
the animals are not allowed an open
range and supplied with green feed.
Few of US realize how very concentrated
cotton seed meal is, nor do we appreci-
ate the fact that such a small quantity
added to the ration of corn will i'm
prove il to the extent which feeding
trials seem to indicate. Hulls would
not be at all satisfactory for hogs and
should not be fed to them. They do
not contain enough nutritive matter nor
has the hog a digestive system which
will enable him to handle roughness OF
this character to advantage. Hulls can
be used as supplemental feed for beef
and dairy cattle, and they should be
used chiefly for this purpose. If your
friend will make a mixture of corn
meal four or five parts and cotton SEED
meal one part and remember that ne
should be careful to weigh this mixture
and then ferment it for about forty
eight hours, he can feed 1t to hogs Tor
periods of sixty days with excellent
results.

TREATMENT OF CHRONIC DIS
TEMPER

An Inquirer, Frolona, Ca, writes:
have a horse. six years old, that had a
case of distemper last spring and has
never gotten completely over it. He is
not sick, but will not fatten and does
not run at the nose only when he gets
not or takes cold. When he is still
he stands with his head down to the
ground and shakes his head and snorts.
/ would like to know what to do for
him. / like The Journal fine, especially
the agricultural columns
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1912-12-20

You evidently have an aggravated
case of distemper and one from which
the animal has not made a complete
recovery. Such a case as this should
be examined at once by a competent
veterinarian and prescribed for by him.
No doubt the horse has taken cold a
number of times from what you say,
and this tends to aggravate the case.
About all that can be done in the
treatment of CHAMBERS is to keep the ami
NAL warm, feed a simple and easily di-
gested diet in which bran mashes should
predominant, give bright, clean hay
and moisten it, and keep well blanketed
and protected from exposure and
draughts. Where there is fever small
quantities of Glauber salts. say a hand
full three times a day will be found
belpful This may be given in bran
mashes. and bicarbonate of soda or nitre
in one dram doses every few hours viii
often be helpful. Steam the head by
mourning hot water over a bucket of
bran and hay. Tar or belladonna leaves
NAV be mixed with the bran and hay
before the water is applied thereto.
Anv swellings of the glands should be
treated with warm water and flaXseed
poultices. You should give your horse
complete rest for several weeks.
BREAKING UP LAND WITH DYNA-
MITE.

slower, or better still, to 10 pounds of

IL is important that the stover and hay
be free from molds and an excessive
amount of dust. There would be no OBJ
lection to sprinkling a little cotton seed
meal over the shredded slower, though
we think mixing it with the corn and
cob meal as indicated will be found a
more satisfactory method of feeding it,

twenty-four to thirty inches deep and
from twelve to sixteen feet apart and
it does not seem to give the results it
should. 1t does not seem to tear up
the ground like / want it to. My land
has a stiff red clay subsoil. would
be glad for all the information you can
give me on this subject.
On the college farm we have tried
some experiments with dynamiting land
for corn. A half stick was used at a
depth of four feet and the holes were
made four feet apart in each direction.
You will see from this that the land re-
ceived a very thorough and complete
treatment with dynamite. Land next to
this which was deeply plowed gave
nearly as much yield in corn as that
dynamited Putting the dynamite down
under the conditions suggested was an
expensive undertaking and including the
cost of the dynamite would make the
cost per acre between $40 and $50 The
increased yield of corn from the use
of the dynamite was less than five
bushels per acre. We could not recon-
mend it's use from these results Last
year the deeply pfowed land and the
dynamited land were devoted to cow
peas and there was no appreciable diff
ference, in the CROP We are inclined to
think from the experience we have had
up to date that you will find deep plow-
ing and subsoiling of heavy red clay
land a much cheaper and better method
of preparing the land for corn than the
use of dynamite, unless the work can
be done at a much smaller outlay for
labor and material and larger increase
obtained than we secured.
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1912-12-20

You acted wisely in blowing your
land as deeply as possible for corn and
it will pay you to run the cutaway
harrow over it several times, so as to
keep the crust broken and thus enable
the moisture to enter it more freely
and prevent erosion, which is always
worse on crusted land than that which
has been kept mellow by some surface
working implement. 1t would be good
practice to apply leaves and pine straw
to this land and also as much yard
manure as you can get, Then in the
spring pillow the whole mass under and
work down a fine seed bed. You will
not find the vegetable matter to injure
your land, provided you plow it under to
a good depth and mix it well with the
soil This land may be lined to good
advantage You may put the lime on
any time now. Apply it as a surface
application, and we would suggest that
you put not less than one or two tons
of the finely ground rock We think
you will find liberal application of the
finely ground rock more profitable than
a smaller application. OF course, you
could use caustic lime on this soil, but
it will prove higher in price than the
ground rock, and while it is more rapid
in it's action, there is a tendency for 1t
to burn up the vegetable matter in the
soil, and it is much more unpleasant to
handle than the ground rock.

dressed n fair sized audience Mt the
Democratic rally hero last evening
Abel John Evans, who acted as chair
man, in introducing Mr.. Thomas, said
that If the people sent him to congress
the world would soon learn that Utah
was on tho map. He expressed humiH-
alton at the manner in which Utah had
been represented in tho past and said
that If the people obtained their in-
formation only from the public press
they would never have known that
during the past several years they had
a representative Ia the lower house.
This condition Will be changed IL Matt
Thomas is elected.
Mr.. Thomas's address was devoted
largely to the tariff which he stated
should be placed on revenue basis,
and the protection thus afforded would
be ample for any legitimate purpose.
He caused the audience to sit up and
listen BY the fearless manner in which
he handled the sugar trust of which the
local factory Is part. Ho stated that
Lehi sugar could DE purchased on Mis-
souri river points for several dollars
loss per hundred pounds than at the
Manti housewife had purchased bill
Of groceries, among which was sack
Of sugar, from an eastern mail order
house, and after paying the freight Of
more than thousand miles, had saved
enough to pay her for the trouble.
"Judge Of her SURPRISE" he said, to
find the brand Of the Lehi sugar fac
tory on the sack OF sugar.
He stated that the people of Elsi-
more had to pay more for their sugar at
the factory than the same sugar was
selling for at Salt LaRe City, and all
this in the face Of the statements made
several years ago that the establish.
ment of sugar factories in Utah would
give us cheaper sugar.
The Bull Moose party will hold a
rally here Tuesday night when Stephen
Love and Mr.. Larson, the candidates
for congress. will speak. The following

the Intermountain Dry Farming con-
gres, to be held In Lcthbridgc, Cana

sented by DR.. Robert Stewart, of the
Utah Agricultural college. The paper
deals with the intensity of nitrifica-
tion In arid soils. The matter of the
formation of nitrates in arid sections
is one that Is attracting tho attention of
the leading soil chemists of the world
today.
Dr. Stewart has been making some
extensive investigations with soils tax

able discussion, and has formed the
basis for new system for soil nitrate
investigation. Many scientists had
held that bacteria action, resulting in
nitrate formation, was stimulated in
arid soils Immediately upon the appli.
cation of irrigation water.
DR.. Stewart s conclusions differ from
these in that it is his opinion that the
nitrate deposits now found in arid
countries are due largely to bacterial
activities in the remote past. Tho nj.
trates thus formed have been carried in
