Use Of Corn Unfit For Horse Feed
 Brings the Disease.
 In a bulletin of the Kansas station T. P. Haslam gives brief summary of investigations of the disease of horses variously known as staggers, blind staggers. sleepy staggers and mad staggers. This disease has oc- cured in outbreaks of greater or less severity in many sections, Kansas. Texas. Louisiana, North Carolina. Del aware and Arkansas having apparent ly experienced the most trouble.
 The first symptoms of the disease are usually a refusal of food and de sire for water. often accompanied by some difficulty in swallowing.
 Following this there are dullness and dropping of the ears. partial or com plete blindness. loss of consciousness, helirium and death or, in few cases, recovery. Some cases become violent. running over obstacles. through fences or destroying stalls in a frenzy of ex- citement- Animals suffering from this form C'mad staggers'o are frresponsl- ble and must be approached with eau tion.

Animals suffer ing from this disease. if they can be induced to move. generally go in a circle. either to the right or left, de- pending on which side of the brain is most seriously diseased. The disease Is not contagious and attacks no anil mals except horses, mules and asses.
 A severe outbreak of the disease in Kansas was investigated with a view of ascertaining the cause of the dis ease. The conclusion was reached that it was due to mold which had badly damaged the small crop of corn grown that year because of dry weather. tinual loss of horses from staggers in any locality in which much corn of an inferior grade is fed.
 In investigations made during the outbreak in 1906 Haslam found that in some localities cases which were reported as staggers were in reality typical cases of parasitism produced in horses by the palisade worm in the intestines and blood vessels. the error arising from the similarity of some of ! the symptoms of the two diseases. Those familiar with the course of either disease rarely make this mistake, It is stated that there are few au. thentic records of cases occurring in Kansas with horses which had not been fed on corn. although in other states severe losses of horses have oc. cured when the grass in the pastures | became moldy.

BITTER ROT OF APPLE.
One of the Worst Diseases the Fruit
 Grower Has to Contend With.

One of the Worst Diseases the Fruit
 Grower Has to Contend With.
 In sections where it is prevalent bit ter rot is the most dreaded of all the common apple diseases. After the fruit has been safely nursed through the at- tacks of scab and the codling moth and is about ready to be harvested an out break of bitter rot may destroy the entire crop of some varieties without much warning. It is rather spasmodic in its appearance, depending largely on weather conditions. Hot weather with plenty of moisture is essential to the rapid development of the disease.
 Bordeaux mixture is still the best fungicide to use for bitter rot, the lime sulphur solution having proved only partially effective against this dis ease. Fortunately bordeaux mixture has very little or no injurious effect on the apple after the young fruits have attained an age of six or eight weeks.
 The mixture should be used as weak as is consistent with good results in order to avoid as much as possible leaving stain on the ripe fruit A mixture composed of three pounds of bluestone and four pounds of lime to each fifty gallons of water. if properly applied. is sufficient for ordinary bitter rot treatment. but the very susceptible

A RELIC OF FORMER DAYS

On the crumbing black and white marble floOrings the water indeed was trickling into pools And down in the halls there came to us wan dering- -strangest thing that ever strayed through deserted grandeur-a brown, broken horse lean, with sore flank and head of tremendous age. It stopped and gazed at us, as though we might be going to give it things to eat, then passed on. stumbling over the ruined marbles.
 For a moment we had thought hin! a ghOSt-one of the many. But he was not, since his hoofs sounded That scramblng chatter had died out into silence before we came to the dark, crypt-like chamber whose mar ble columns were ringed in iron, yer itable pillars of foundation. And then we saw that our old guides hands were full of newspapers. She struck a match; they caught fire and blazed Holding high that torch, she said:
 "See Up there's his name, above where he stood The auctioneer. Oh, yes. indeed, Here's where they sold them"
 Below. that name, decaying on the wall we had the slow uncanGy feel ing that someone was standing there in the gleam and flicker of that paper torch For moment the whole shadoWy room seemed full of forms and faces Then the torch died out and our old guide, pointing through an archWay with the blackened stump of it. said:
 Twas here they kept them-in deed. yes!"
 We saw before us a sort of vault. stone built. and low, and long. The light there vas too dim for us to make out anything but balls, and heaps of rusting scrap iron cast out there and mouldering down. But try ing to pierce that darkness we be- came conscious of innum erable eyes gazing, not at us, but through the archway where we stood; innum- crable white eyeballs eleamng out of blac<ness From behind us came a little laugh It floated past through the archway toward those eyes. Who was it laughed in there? The old south itself-that incredible. fine, lest soul, That old time" thing of old ideals, blindfolded by it's own history!

 varieties in districts where the disease is common should be sprayed with a stronger mixture. composed of four pounds of bluestone and four pounds of lime to fifty gallons of water.
 The trees should be sprayed four times at intervals of two to three weeks, beginning seven to eight weeks after the petals have been shed. In the bitter rot belt the dates of the ap- plication would be about as follows. though varying somewhat with the season: First, June 25-30; second. July 1915; third. July 25-31. and. fourth. Aug. 1915. Such a course of treat ment, properly carried out. will secure protection against outbreaks of bitter rot under the most adverse conditions. By observing the weather conditions and watching for the first infections the first application may be delayed a few days and the intervals heightened so that three sprayings can be made to do the work. With very susceptible varieties this is risky. but with varie- ties only moderately susceptible three sprayings are sufficient.
 The removal of cankered limbs and the destruction of bitter rot mummies doubtless help to control the disease and should be practiced. but these pre- ca utions cannot take the place of spray ing.
 For the control of the second brood of the codling moth arsenate of lead at the rate of two pounds to each fifty gallons of bordeaux mixture should be used in the second and third bitter rot sprayings.-Bulletin. United States Department of Agriculture.

no questions. He was generally of a
cheerful disposition. loyal in his
friendships, and a man of his word.
He was married about forty years
