Origin of the Beverage as the Tale Is

The Chinese claim to be the first
users of tea as drink. and how il

legend that dates from 1000 years be-
fore the coming of Christ
A daughter of a then reigning SOW

man whose humble birth excluded him
from marrying her. They damaged to
exchange glances. and be occasionally

conveyed to her.
One day in the palace garden the
sweethearts met. and the young man
endeavored to give her a few flowers.
but so keen was the watchfulness of
her attendants that all she could grasp
was little twig with green leaves.
On reaching her room she put the
twig in water, and toward evening she
drank the water I'm which the twig

taste that she even ate the leaves and
stalks. Every day afterward she had

the experiment and with such pleasing
results that the custom spread through

THEY ALL DEMAND 1T
OcaIa, Like Every City and Town in
the Union, Receives 1t.

People with kidney ills want to
be cured. When one suffers the tor
lures of an aching back, relief is
eagerly sought for. There are many
remedies today that relieve, but do
not cure. Doan's Kidney Pills have
brought lasting results to thousands.
Here is some Ocala evidence of their
merit
Mrs. A. E. Holly, 113 S. Second
ST., Ocala, says: About three years
ago l was having great deal of
trouble with my kidneys, The kid
ney secretions were scanty and pain
full in passage. My back was sore
and lame and every time stopped, a
catch took me across my lions. Ny
feet and ankles were swollen and the
flesh underneath my eyes was pulled
up. I tried several kidney medicines
and even took a doctors prescription,
but nothing did me any good until ]
started taking Doan's Kidney Pills.
I improved from the first and was
soon cured

AIsatIan Potash Salts

Kali, or potash salts, in natural de-
posits, was discovered in Alsace in
1904, when deep borings were being
made in the hope of striking oil. In
1909 the first kali mining shaft was
completed in this district, and the
following year $1,000 tons of kali salts
were extracted. Since then other
mines have been developed and the
work has grown rapidly. Twelve
mines are now in opera ion in this dis
trict.

results that it is be applied to the an
ti-hog- cholera crusade.
Congress has appropriated half
million dollars to carry on the work
and experiments will be made in all
parts of the United States. The aim
will be not only to exterminate the
disease lie the test sections, but also
to discover the most practical, eff
cient and economical methods for
continuing the work throughout the
country.
This investigation will fill long
felt want IN Tennessee, as the hog
death rate in this State from cholera

Disease


Many letters are received at the Ex
periement Station every wear from
farmers throughout the State askin,
for Information with reference to thI
loss OF cattle from pasturink on corr
stalk neius' From the numhar of in
quiries received, it is eviden that tht
animal loss from this source is rapidly
increasing, and the question has as
sumed considerable economic impor
tance to the live stock interests of tn.
State. The affection is usually refer
red to as ''cornstalk disease. - II hal
been studied by various investigators,
and almost everyone has arrived at 6
different conclusion as to its cause
None OF these conclusions can as vel
be accepted. Some investigators are
inclined to believe that there is close
relation between this so-ealled corr
stalk disease and highly fatal infec.
tious disease technically known az
hemorrhagic septicaemia, but our OBJ
servations do not warrant this belief
In the interest of cattle feeders, the
following facts and suggestions are
presented.
I. Many cattle die in Tennessee ev.
cry year as result of pasturing on
cornstalk fields.
Q Young cattle fed exclusively on
cornstalk fields seem to be most COM
monty affected.
g. Stalks cut early and shocked and
cured properly, do not produce any
bad eff cts.
A. The foregoing fact indicates
that stalks may undergo some change
when allowed to remain in the field,
which under certain conditions make
them poisonous to cattle.
5. The nature of the poisonous sub
stance is not thoroughly understood.
6. This is not a contagious disease.
Z. The affected animal may die
within from a few hours to several
days after the symptoms begin to ap-
pear; death is most likely to occur
within the first twenty four hours
s After the symptoms have fully
developed, treatment does very little
good.
9. If the symptoms are recognized
early enough. an active purge, with
two pounds of EPSON salts or one
quart of law linseed oil for mature
animal, should be given. Later the
animal may have difficulty in swai-
lowing and then it is dangerous to
drench.
10 1t is always safei to cut the
stalks early and cure properly, or,
better, make into silage, before feed
ing.
Ii If it is necessary to place cattle
on cornstalk field, the danger should
be reduced by the feeding of daily
grain ration; and the cattle should be
closely watched, so that they may be
removed and treated promptly if any
evidence of sickness appears
70. Horses also are susceptible.
13 Experiments in the feeding to
cattle of corn smut, the sooty disease
common to corn, indicate that smut
does not produce the so called corn
stalk disease.
IA Indications point to the con-
elusion that the trouble does not oc-
cur on all cornstalk fields. 1t is there
fore suggested that before the herd is
put on cornstalk field, few less
valuable animals be turned in as a
test
rs The Tennessee Expei iment
Station will welcome reports of any
observations of sickness in animals
fed on cornstalk fields.
