BARB WIRE INJURIES.

During the pasture season horses are.
frequently injured on barb wire. These
injuries require careful attention. DR..
A. s. Alexander of Wisconsin gives
the following suggestions for the treat
mcnt Of barb wire cuts:
After barb wire accident do not
apply axle grease or any rancid oint-
r.ent to the wound. Wash the wound
thoroughly with warm water. Then
clip the hair close as possible around
It and wash again to remove any hair
Or other foreign substance.
when sand or hair has lodged III the
depths of deep cut never use wet
sponge to clean it out. Use piece Of
absorbent cotton or cotton batting.
There will be much less risk Of in
lection:
1T will be useless to put stitches In
wound that is very deep or ragged.
or that is located in place not In per-
feet rest when the animal is making
natural movements.
"Dry busting powder has a healing
effect on barb wire wounds and other
large. moist cuts and abrasi0ns. Such
powder may be prepared cheaply by
mixing together equal parts Of slaked
lime. sulphur and charcoal.
Prevent lockjaw dangers In nail
wounds Of the hoof by opening them
Lp freely. which provides drainage for
serum and pus. saturate with 80
luton Of corrosive sublimate and wa
ter in the proportion Of ! to 500. Cover
with busting powder. absorbent cotton
and a bandage. This treatment should
be repeated daily until tue wound u
healed"

Reports of fruit growers indicate

Cover Crop and Dry Weather.

Cover Crop and Dry Weather.
1t is sometimes advisable to turn un-
der cover crop earlier on account Of
the soil being in good condition. where
as If put Off for a few days or week
dry weather might prevent the work
being done as it should be. When the
land is to be planted to cotton it will
be necessary to turn the cover crop
under earlier. regardless Of the stage
of growth. This will allow few days
for the land to settle and to be gotten
in proper condition for u good seed bed.
The plOw should be followed closely
with the harrow. to pulverize the soil
before the wind and sunshine dry it ont.

STANDARD OF GRIDIRON SPORT

Exceptionally Strong Elevens.

Tech are going to have out much more
competent squads than those of last
year.
The Georgetown Prep school. ST. AL
bans School. Army and Navy Prep
School and Gonzaga are sure to have
representative teams. concerted ef-
fort is being made at the last men
toned institution to bring its athletics
UP to high standard, and foot ball is
the first sport over which the new
regime will have control. Prospects
are good at the other three schools,
according to report, and actual practice
is to begin shortly.
Only one veteran of Georgetown s
squad remains yet to report. He is
Nahum, who played one of the guard
positions last season. Reds Cusack,
one of the regular ends, came out yes
terday for the first time since this
years practice began.
While only Nahum is still missing of
the members of last years team, the
squad is not near as large as it is likely
to be. When the law and medical
schools open, a great many new can
didates, of whom nothing is known
now, probably will place themselves at
the disposal of the coaches. At least,
that usually is the case. and this. fall
should not be an exception.
The practice at Georgetown since it
started has consisted mainly of rudi-
mentary drills in the technique of the
game, with considerable attention to the
development of the simplest plays to be
used. This was continued yesterday, al
though the work was made a little more
severe, but the latter part of the week
will find two teams lined up for Scrinl-
mage and then the real instruction is
due.

Charges Designs on Albania.

The statement was made in govern
men' circles here today that the reason
urged Dy Greece why the Monastir dis
trict of southern Serbia should not be
ceded to Bulgaria tbecause Greece and
Serbia desire to have a common bor-
der) was not the real reason for
Greece's attitude, owing to the fact
that no strategic elements would be
involved by such cession.
The real object, it was asserted, was
an understanding between Greece and
Serbia that they should prevent con-
tact between Bulgaria and Albania and
make Albania the common prey of
Greece and Serbia. If Albania were al
lowed contact with Bulgaria. it was
added, the latter country would, in the
interest of her national principle, work
for the independence of Albania, which
would be distasteful to Greece and Ser
bia.

AMBASSADOR GERARD
SEES HERR Won JAGOW
Improvement Of German-American
Relations Believed Object of Con-
ference at Berlin.

BERLIN. September 13. via London.
sador. Mr.. Gerard, had long CONVEX
Sation this evening with Herr Won
Jagow, the German minister of foreign
affairs. The discussion did not spe-
officially concern the submarine ques-
ton, nor was it evoked by any new
developments in connection with that
subject. but it was indicated after the
conference that both the imperial
chancellor and the foreign minister
are endeavoring to improve German
American relations.
Prominent and well informed per-
sonages in Berlin express the belief
that the diplomatic and military lead
ers in Germany are doing their utmost
to prevent a recurrence of misunder-
standings and incidents in the sub
marine campaign which have hereto
fore clouded those relations and to
eliminate as far as possible the chances
of torpedoing ships under conditions
to which the United States objects.
Public Opinion a Factor.
It is pointed out, however. that they
are working under difficulties. Parti-
cularly in view of the keenness and
ambition of the naval officers and pub
lie opinion, which is proud of the sub
marine achievements and is quick to
protest against any open indication of
backdown.
The reflex of this attitude can be seen
in the press, from which an acriminous
and abusive tone toward America of
late has been conspicuously absent.
This is shown particularly in the COM
ment on the Dumba incident, almost all
the papers which comment admitting
frankly and without bitterness that the
United States is justified in the action
it has taken and pointing out that it
need not affect Austro American rela-
tions, although, at the same time, at
tempting to excuse DR.. Dumba through
his patriotic interest in the Austro-
Hungarian workers.
Furthermore little is heard upon the
munitions question and some of the
comment is in friendly tone.
