OF VALUE TO HORSEMEN-Do you
turn your horses out for the winter? If
so, we want, to call your attention to a
very important matter. Horses which
have been used steadily at work, either
on the farm or road. have quite likely
had some strains whereby lameness or
engagements have been caused. Or per-
haps new life Is needed to be infused into
their legs. Gombault's Caustic Balsam
applied as per directions, just as you are
turning the horse out, will be of great
benefit; and this is the time when it
can be used very successfully. One great
advantage in using, this remedy is that
after It Is applied it needs no care or at
tention, but does it's work well and at a
time when the horse is having a rest
OF course it can be used with equal
success while horses are in the stable
but many people in turning their horses
out would use Caustic Balsam If they
were reminded Of it, and this article is
given as a reminder.-(Advt)

SUGGESTIONS. ON WHEAT CULTIVATION

3 sufhciently complete admixture of the
seed fertilizer and soil to avoid any pos
sihle danger which might arise from
this source. Wheat may often be top
dressed with a fertilizer containing nj
trogen in a quickly available form in
the spring Of the year. The application
should be made at about the same time
as with the oat crop.
+ Wheat requires the preparation of a
more careful seed bed than oats. While
the land may be broken to advantage
in many instances il should be fairly
compact below and friable on top. Wheat
should never be seeded on cloddy or
Rough land IL the farmer expects to Sc
cure a large return therefrom. Break
ing the land several weeks before plant
ing is a great advantage to this crop,
and this is particularly true II sod or
other vegetable matter is turned I'M
der.
, The time OF planting wheat varies with
the elevation and seasonal conditions. In
those sections where the Hessian fly
is troublesome late seeding is advisable,
and later seeding may be practiced with
this crop IL planted in the open fur
row than where sown with an ordinary
grain drill The best dates for seeding
wheat vary from October Is TO Novem-
Der 1. Later seeding than this may
sometimes be practiced with advantage
in the coastal plains section, but on the
elevated areas fairly early seeding is
preferable. Wheat should be drilled
whenever il is at all possible 20 do so.
and the quantity of seed per acre will
vary from five to siv pecks. Seed rather
more freely on land which is not in the
best condition. Large. plump grains
which are hard and flinty viii give the
best returns. and il is important to Sc
cure a variety we'll adapted to local eli
matte conditions.
There is no one best variety of wheat,
but among those which may be regarded
as standard sorts are Blue Stem or Pur-
pie Straw, Fultz, Beitz Amber, Red May.
Fulcaster and Mediterranean Wheat
should be treated with bluestone be-
fore seeding for the sinking or conceal
ed smut. immense the seed grain for ten
minutesin a solution or one pound of
sbluestone to five gallons of water. Spread
out and dry until the grain will read

The fact that Maryland produced ia
bushels of wheat per acre in 1911, Vir-
ginia 1876 bushels, South Carolina ia
bushels and Georgia 100 bushels indi-
Gates the latest possibilities for the cul-
tivation of this crop on lands of the
south which are now so frequently al
lowed to lie idle and wash through the

There are two ways by which you may
handle the leaves and trash you are gath
ering. The first is to put this mass of
material on the land as uniformly as pos
sible and turn ii under right away; other
wise the leaves viii be disintegrated and
blown away by the wind. The other plan
would be to scrape out a slight depression
in the ground, say on red clay knoll
somewhere, and puddle the water by fill
ing it partially with water and letting
hogs or sheep tramp 1t while wet. Then
pile the leaves in this depression. wettiHg
them thoroughly. You should place your
compost heap where you can have a plen-
tiful supply OF water. If you keep the
heap wet all winter the leaves will decay
rapidly and viii make you a very fine
compost to use next spring. In the
spring if you desire you may mix some
acid phosphate and potash with this ma
terial and make a very good fertilizer
formula when used at the rate of 1000
to 1000 pounds per acre. We would be
disposed. however. to use compost under
the drill row and apply anywhere from
two TO five tons. and then put the phos-
phOrous potash in separately, or in COM
bination say with cotton seed meal or
any other organic source of nitrogen

Distemper, as you know, is very try
ing and troublesome disease to animals,
and many of them do not make a COM
plete recovery therefrom. This disease
often leaves symptoms of the character
referred to in your letter as an after
math of its attack. and there is very
little which can be done to benefit the
patient. All quarters should be thor
oughly disinfected. Use a solution of
one part of creolin to fifty parts of
water. The best thing you can do for
your mule is to give a tonic treatment
and use a good condition powder. See
that the bowels are well regulated and
that laxative succulent food is supplied
in as large quantities as possible. Be
sure that all roughness fed is clean and
bright and free from. dust or mold.
This is a very important matter. These
are about all the suggestions which
can be made in case of this kind
which are likely to be of any service.

You should examine the mouth and

may be that he has been bitten or has

to do is to swab out and thoroughly
cleanse the mouth every four hours with
solution of one ounce of tincturesiof

te grafton of the leaves and the loss of a
considerable amount of nitrogen. If you
desire to use lime apply one to two tons
per acre of the raw ground rock or 1000
to 1000 pounds of the caustic lime on the
ground Immediately after blowing 1t.
The lime is best put on now any time UP
until two to four weeks before planting.
We think a good formula to use under
oats would be about an 1923 on land of

pounds. If the land is thin and pC g
would advise the use of the larger
amount. You may question the desirable
ity of using organic nitrogen, but we
think this is desirable on thin land be-
cause the oats need to secure good
start before cold weather sets in. You
should figure on applying something like
100 pounds of nitrate of soda as a top
dressing early in the spring
A mixture of 1000 pounds of soda q
400 pounds of potash would not be 2
hest combination to use A mixture ?
500 pounds of acid phosphate, 200 pounds
of cotton seed meal containing els per
cent of nitrogen, and 100 pounds of mu-
rate of potash, divided Into four or five
equal parts will make very good for
mula to use under oats You will find
the same formula useful under wheat.

critics that she is no longer a recluse
but second TO none among the educa-

The subject Of Mr.. Gilligan's ora

subject which he handled in an en-
tirely original and characteristic way,
resulting largely from his own obser-
vations. The Citizen extends to him
most hearty congratulations.
