FAIL TO AGREE ON DEBT,
West Virginia and Virginia Commits
sioners Hold Long Conference.

Failure to reach an agreement was the
outcome of a long discussion yesterday
between commissioners representing Viz
ginia and West Virginia over the ques-
ton of how much of the old state debt
OF Virginia should be paid by West Viz
ginia which was a part of the former
state until the civil war. AS a result
the case will go before the United States
Supreme Court April IS.
The West Virginia commission yester-
day submitted a proposition that the
state shall pay $2.327, 1888 to Virginia
IN final settlement of the claim. The
Virginia commission Immediately held 4
separate meeting. and decided that 1t
could not accept the offer. The Supreme
Court had previously held that West Nir-
ginia's share of the debt was S7.1S2JO1. 4G
The West Virginia commission held
brief meeting this morning at the New
Willard Hotel, but took no definite &C
ton. 1t was explained that the reason
West Virginia claims it owes so much
less than the amount claimed by Virginia
is that it has been discovered recently
that there We're stocks and cash amount
ing to more than S20.ct0Oo0 in the pos
session OF Virginia at the time of the
separation of the two states which
should be deducted from the debt of more

BlackIee in Cattle.

The Missouri State Board of Az
riculture, and State Veterinarian,
DR.. D. F. Luckey, at Columbia, are
receiving messages and letters con-
corning outbreaks of blackleg in
young cattle, indicative that the
disease appears to be more preav-
lent than it has been for number
of years. Secretary Jewell Mayes
calls special attention to the follow
ing interview by Doctor Luckey:
The symptoms of blacklee are
very easily recognized by anyone
who has ever seen case. AS a
rule, the disease appears in lot of
young cattle when on good feed or
pasture and making rapid growth.
AS a rule, it affects the latest
calves in the lot 1t runs a very
rapid course. lasting as rule, from
twelve to twenty-four hours and al
most invariably results in death.
The calf first shows lameness.
Within a few hours, a swelling ap-
pears on some part of the body and
generally on one of the quarters
Rubbing the swelling causes a
cracking sound beneath the skin.
When the animal is skinned. the
affected portion appears bruised as
if it had been hit with a club. These
symptoms are unmistakable.
The carcasses of blackleg calves
/ should be thoroughly burned in or
der to destroy infection and prevent
the spread of the disease. If these
carcasses are not burned, the infec-
ton will remain on the premises
for years and make cattle-growing

of available calcium oxide. which it
already contains. Probably the
best indication of the need of lime
is the failure to obtain a good crop
of clover.
The question whether lime should
be applied to the soil as quicklime,
hydrated lime, air-slaked. lime or
ground limestone is still the subject
of a great controversy. The advo
Gates of ground limestone claim
that the caustic properties of quick
or hydrated lime will burn up and
destroy the organic matter in the
soil, whereas limestone can be ap-
piled in large quantities at long in
tervals and will therefore produce
a more or less permanent fertility.
The advocates of lime claim that
one of the main functions which
lime has to perform is the destruc-
ton of the organic matter and the
liberation of the nitrogen in such a
form that the plant can use it; that
the frquent and judicious use OF
lime, together with some organic
fertilizer, will bring immediate re.
suits. Of course the local condi.
tons of each particular case must
be considered before a final conclu.
sion can be reached. Thus, it is
rational to use quicklime on soils
which are exceedingly rich in or
ganic matter, such as peaty OIL
swampy soils. Limestone is safer
than quicklime when applied just
before planting a crop which i:
little helped by lining, or when ap
piled to a light sandy soil in hO
dry weather.-CThe Source, Manu-
facture, and Use of Lime, U. S Geo.

Improbable unless all young cattle
are regularly vaccinated.
Whenever there is an outbreak
of blackleg, all the young cattle in
the community should be vaccinat-
ed. In the event that a case is lost
in a herd, and a little time would
be required to secure the vaccine
it is advisable to reduce the feed SO
that they will shrink slightly. They
are not so apt to develop blackleg
while shrinking as while gaining in
weight. Three days after the vac
cine is administered, they may be
put back an full feed or good pas
ture."
Farmers and stockmen are invit-
ed to communicate with State Vet
erinarian Luckey or the Board in
case blackleg is breaking out and
free advice is desired.
