There is no reason why corn, cob and
shucks should not all be ground to-
gether and fed with cotton seed meal:
This makes an excellent combination for
use with beef and dairy cattle. 1t is
not so good for horses because the
food is diluted by the addition of the
cob and shuck. There would be no OBJ
lection to grinding shuck and grain to-
gether for horses, and probably no i'll
effects win be observed where the cob
is included, provided the cob is finely
ground. This may call for a regrinding
or second grinding forO the corn, cob
and shuck meal. The OK has a much
greater capacity in the stomach than
the horse and can consume and digest
coarse feed to better advantage. 1t is
for this reason that more caution has
been suggested in the use of corn, cob
and shuck meal with this class of ami
mails unless 1t is very finely groundA AS
bushel of corn weighs sc pounds the
chances are that where the cob and
shuck are included that it would weigh
nearer eighty pounds, and hence from
one-fourth to a third more OF the COM
bination mixture should be fed than of
corn alone in order to insure the an
finals receiving the same amount OF nu-
trients. 1t will also be found in our
judgment that corn, cob and shuck meal
will so further than the corn alone
and that on account of the ability to
mix two pounds of cotton seed meal

USEFUL AND USELESS PRE- VEN
TTVES OF DISEASE

prevent infectious diseases are all a
failure. Any man who knows any
thing of such diseases and Of medi-
cines ought to know this, even If ex-
perience had not proved it, but In this
case all the evidence, experienced, as
well as theory" 1 sagainst the use of
all such preventives.
How, then, are diseases of this sort
to be prevented?
1. Keep the animals well by good
care and feeding.
2. Keep the germs of the diseases
out of the herd, or, better, off the
farm.
s. When the germ once gets on the
place remove the we'll animals to
place where no sick one has been re-
Gently, and as often as new cases de-
velop. remove the well animals again.
4. When medical science has devei-
oped, demonstrated and accepted
method of vaccination. or some treat
ment for the prevention Of any dis
ease, use 1t If you can. But don''
waste your good money and your i've
stock by trying to prevent disease by
the internal administration Of medl-
cines.
AS long as men will buy these So
called preventives, there will be men
and agricultural papers who will ad.
vertise them, but they have been tried
and found wanting.

So long as the doctors depended IN
medicines to prevent disease they
made little progress. The same APP
plies with even greater force to the
prevention Of disease among farm an
imals. The farmer who depends on
medicines to prevent hog cholera and
other infectious and catching" dis
eases will continue to spend his money
to no purpose. Whenever anyone pro-
poses to give your livestock medicines
internally to prevent disease, give
him the go-by." Medicines are nee
esarry evils for the cure Of disease.
No well animal is made better by tho
giving of medicines and no one has
ever succeeded in giving medicines
that would xii 1.-The germs OF such dis
eases after they entered the animal,
without also killing the animal. All
such preventives are either pure fakes
or mistakes. Medicines disinfec-
tants-used to kill disease producing
germs before they enter the animal
are good when they come in contact
with the germs for a sufficient length
of time; but the germs are small and
may easily escape the disinfectants.
We are often asked to tell readers
what they can give to prevent animals
taking such diseases. and must always
answer that we don't know. Every

hut II is quite soluble in water which

grinding is desirable because under these

PLANT FOODS S ADAPTED FOR
WHEAT.
G. H. NJ, Augusta, Ga. writes; what
is the best fertilizer for oats and wheat
on fairly good soil which will make
about $50 pounds of lint cotton with 500
pounds of fertilizer? ! would also like
to know how much plant food thirty
bushels Of oats would remove per acre
and how much fertilizer l should apply
to insure this yield?
Thirty bushels of oats with the straw
removed from an acre of land approx
mately Is pounds of nitrogen, 10 pounds
Of phosphodic acid and "a pounds OF pot
ash. If the straw is returned to the
land the loss of potash iss greatly re-
ducad From this Won will see that oats
are not particularly exhaustive to the
land, yet 1t has been found by expert
ment that fairly liberal fertilization 10
profitable on many Georgia soils. We
Judge that your land is probably quite
sandy, and in this case we advise the
use of a formula containing a higher
content of potash than on clay lands,
We believe you will find a formula con-
tanning about per cent of phosphorus
acid, 2 per cent of organic nitrogen ana
per cent of potash we'll adapted for
oats. We would suggest that you use 300
pounds per acre as a minimum, and 500
pounds as a maximum. We believe IN
many instances the larger application
will be found profitable. You might try
two acres with 800 pounds and 800
pounds respectively, and see II you can
observe a sufficient difference in yield
to justify you In applying the larger
amount from an economic point Of view.
You viii notice that we have suggested
the use of some organic nitrogen in the
fall. We believe this is advisable with
crop like oats which should be stimu-
lated In the early stages OF develop
ment. We would still advise the use OF
nitrate of soda or some other quickly
available ammoniate as a top dressing
in the spring. Ordinarily 100 pounds
per acre will be found about right. II
will be all right to apply a portion of
this as soon as growth starts in the
spring. A second application should be
be made certainly at least two weeks
before the crop punches to head.
