have a swelling under their jaws. / think

BILE. l would like to know what it is and
if there is cure for It.
According to the description contained
in your letter we are inclined to think
that your cattle are suffering from a
disease known as '1ump-jaw." The first
symptom of this trouble is slight
swelling on the face or lower jaw. It
looks as though it might have been
caused from an injury. In most cases
the enlargement continues to develop
due to the fact that the bone bulges
outward on account of the fungus which
causes the disease, having gotten inside
the bone by working along the roots of
the teeth. After a while the swelling
breaks and discharges a thick, sticky
pus but it does not diminish much in
size on account of this discharge. Some
times the tumor is free from the bone
and in that event is best removed by
knife and the opening treated as a SIM
pie wound In many cases it can be re-
moved by giving iodide of potash in
ternally in one to three dram doses once
daily dissolved in a half pint Of water.
In a few days what is known as "iod-
ISM sets up. This is shown by dis
charge of mucus from the nose and
nd ~
AS soon as this condition appears stop
the medicine.
If the tumor is small and not dis
charging it does not affect the general
health of the animal and in that case
such animals could be used for food
with safety. Sick animals should be
isolated from the well ones. In any
event it is generally best to take Wig
orous steps towards the eradication of
this trouble as quickly and completely
as possible.

Your desire to secure an agricultural
education is greatly to be commended
and il is safe to advise you that you
will never regret any effort or sacri-
flee you may make to attain this end.
One situated as you are could readily
enter the one-year course without eX-
animation. You might start with pro-
priety on January when our next term
opens. You could complete two-thirds
of the work from that date to June is
and then you could come back in the
fall for the term ending December %.
We have had some young men do this
in the past and they have found this
arrangement quite satisfactory. A num-
Der of these fellows are now holding
good positions as farm managers. Much
depends of course on the ability of the
sman, his personality and his determine
tion to succeed.
The one-year' course. is designed to
provide men situated as you are with
a course of instruction calculated to fit
them for positions as farm managers.
We, of course. always advise men to
take the four-year course if ii is pos
sible to arrange to do so, so in the event
that you desire to do this we advise
that you go to one of the district agrl-
cultural schools and spend the time from
now until next July there. They will
provide you examinations and give you
a certificate which will indicate to us
the number of credits you are entitled
to receive. We are satisfied that you
could not enter the four-year course now
even If you stood examinations without
undergoing some additional preliminary
training.
We Of course have requests for help
from a large number of men and up to
the present time have not been able to
secure work for all of the applicants.
We believe. however. if you can arrange
10 secure the money to put you through
the first year and that if you come to
us and make good we will be able to aid
you in future years. At least we have
been able to do this to a considerable
extent for some of the students now at
tending school.

We advise against the mixing of your
acid phosphate and tankage with crush
ed finely ground limestone rock. In
orr opinion YOU should use from 1000
TO 1000 pounds of lime but preferably
the latter amount per acre and hence
no advantage will be gained by mixing
il with the materials mentioned above.
Lime as rule, should be applied TO
land intended for legumes whereas you
no doubt wish to use mixed fertilizers
under practically all the crops you Gull
tivate but more particularly corn and
cotton.
There would be no objection to using
limestone derived from the source men
toned in your section of the state. 1t
should be of good quality and can be
used with satisfaction as a top dress
ing on land which has been previously
prepared for legumes. w do not mean
for you to conclude from this state
ment that lime will not be of benefit
to any other crops. Our experience,
however, justifies US in saying that its
primary benefit will be experienced in
connection with leguminous crops. 1t
will of course not need to be applied
oftener than once in three years.
Under the circumstances there is
nothing YOU can use as n substitute
for potash at the present time because
of the eXorbitant price which it now
commands. Situated as you are we
would mix 1000 to 1900 pounds of acid
phosphate with 700 to 500 pounds of
tankage. This will give you a formula
containing from 9 to 9.5 per cent of
available phosphoric acid and about
per cent of nitrogen. Apply at the rate
of 300 TO 500 pounds per acre and ii
should prove helpful to such crops as
corn and cotton. There would be no
objection of course to applying 200 to
800 pounds per acre under cereals.
When used with cereals materials of
this kind are best mixed with the soil
at the time the crop is seeded. We
would prefer to use the fertilizer in

KEEPING THE BOY IN SCHOOL

AS the school year draws to its close, many of the
older children become anxious to quit and go to work.
This is not for the purpose of acquiring a bank account.
Nor is it often a desire to assist in family support. Prin-
cipally it is the longing for pocket money, for candy, pic
ture shows, etc. The boy who has gone to "clerking
and can boldly with his own money line up a row OF girls
to an ice cream soda counter is the particular hero OF
this period.
1t is enough to make a teacher heartsick to see the
children that drop out with their education finished. y
They don't know the rudiments of American citizenship.
They haven't enough arithmetic to make change at a
candy counter. They have no manual skill. For years,
perhaps always, they must dig bitches and sweep floors.
These are honorable tasks, if well done. But they pro-
vide no solid basis for advancement, for growth IN 1ntell1-
gence and the education of the next generation.
The educator who can think up a scheme to keep
these restless youngsters in school is a benefactor to his
community and the state. And his work usually gets the
recognition of a good salary. He is scarce.
One high school principal whose work is widely
known makes athletics compulsory. The dull boy has his
place on the class team to defend. That atones for some
shortage of pennies. The parents will usually go hungry
to keep them going. 1t is tough on them, but # pays III
finitely. Work on school gardens or with tools keeps
BOYS in line in many places. The boy who is ACQUIRING
real skill with a lathe thinks twice before taking 4 jHb 4,
a floor sweeper.
The teacher will have to come down to some plain
and practical talk about dollars and cents. She should
show that graduation at the seventh grade means the
shovel gang, while the high school means a chance for the
bank and the business office.

A NEW FAMILY ALBUM

The lower house of congress, purely in the interest
of economy and reform, has voted to make next years
congressional directory a work of art as well as one of
photographed enlightment. The directory next year
will contain not only the biographies of our statesmen, as
carefully prepared by themselves, but will be adorned as
we'll by their pictures. This glorious presentment Will
not only treble the size of the publication, but will also
treble its cost, but what is cost when the attainment OF an
end so celestial is assured9 One congressman suggested
that to preserve the unities it would be appropriate for
the work to be bound in red plush with silver clasps, thus
concentrating the old family album of Our ancestors,
but this unhappi1y was voted down. The directory will
appear, therefore, bound in pigskin, this cover by gentle
Inference suggesting the porcine procllvltles OF those
whose virtues it so t~rutlfully celebrates.
It was urged as an excuse for this innovation that
the members of congress need some device by which they
NAV be able to identify each other and that the pictorial
p~resentments in the directory will prove most adequate.
We draw from this the very natural conclusion that the
average congressman in Washington is an individual so
.1owlv and so inconsequential that he is not known even by
those who month after month sit with him in the same
chamber of our national capitol. Perhaps, therefore. the
directory picture album may be justified and excused, al
though the Tribune is inclined to believe that those con
eressmen who vearn for prominence might best achieve
it by that hard work and devotion to duty which have
always forced recognition in Washington.

HENRY LANE WILSON'S MISTAKES

Henry Lane Wilson of indianapolis, former am.
bassador to Mexico, recently instituted a suit tor hDel
against Norman Hapgood, demanding S35o,ooo damages.
The amount asked is perhaps excessive, for 1t is nigny
improbable that the bitter and vituperatlve attacks IN
dulged in by the resumably unbalanced Hapgood reany
injured Mr.. Wilson a hundredth part of the sum ne asks
in mitigation of damages. Hapgoods paper, HarperS
Weekly, a periodical of glorious history, has, since the
alleged offense, gone to the journalistic Junk pie undeI
his amazing mismanagement and it is not likely that even
its few scattered readers took its raving seriously during
the last year of its existence. 1t was devoted to one long
yowl against the opponents and critics of Woodrow WI
son, and SO viciously incorporate did it become that II
naturally aroused a question of its publisher sanity
The assault on Henry Lane Wilson was particularly v1ru-
lent, yet so manifestly absurd were its assertions and Its
differences that it could not command credence. 1t mere
" took rank as freak literature and with people OF good
sense it injured Mr.. Wilson to no extent whatsoever. ne
is hardly entitled, therefore, to monetary damages even j.
the hapless Hapgood is able to pay them after his dlsmal
failure with his publication. If Mr.. Wilson really teels'
however, that he is entitled to public exonerat1on he
would fare much better, no doubt, if he were to drop his
damage suit and have Mr.. Hapgood arrested for criminal
libel. Such a procedure would oblige the defense to set
up a plea of insanity and to establish it by proof: Fore.
ing Mr.. Hapgood into the registered bug division
should afford Mr.. Wilson all the satisfaction he desires.

THE A A NAVY

A few years ago when there was a review of the
British navy, some of the foreign critics referred to 1t as
a showing that the navy would be an easy mark tor any
really first class navy. But so far neither Germany nor
Austria has seen fit to make use of the easy mark.
They are not so sure of it now that the British navy has
its bristles up, its smoke belching forth and the guns
ready 20 be fired. But the Germans have been courage
Gus to 'nibble at it as the French say they are dong
with the Germans in the trenches. And some OF the
nibbling has been effective, while all of it has been brave
beyond comparison. Twice at least the German ships
have been bold enough to reach the shores of England
with their guns. They seem to dash up and then dash
away before the British can get their ships to the par
ticular spot. The British say that they would like 1t
better if the Germans remained in one spot long enough
for them to take a shot or two at them. They would like
to fight it out, they say, and abide by the results OF the
great sea battle. And if the Germans should by any
chance be able to wipe out the easy mark navy, 1t
would be all up, not only with the British government,
including the empire, but with all the allies. 1t is the
British navy that is holding the key to the situation.
Without the protection of that navy France would long
since have felt the invaders heel as far as Paris, for with
the fleet out of the way, nothing could prevent the Ger
mans from coming in on France from at least two sides,
maybe three.

INDEMNITIES FROM THE u. S. A.

Herr Won Jagow says that the Germans will not at
tempt to collect any indemnities from the United States
after the war, even if Germany should be gloriously vic
torious. The tale of indemnities to be collected over here
started with the Frankfort Zeitung, which published Ii
not merely as an opinion. but as a duty. According to
this Zeitun9, the unneutral acts OF the United States have
caused the war to be greatly prolonged. II the Amerl
cans had shipped no munitions to the enemies of Ger
many. Germany could have terminated the war long ago.
costs in both men and money, there is moral response
bility with the United States. The United States itself,
after tla> civil war, collected damages from England for
giving aid to the southern states.
In the case of the United States, however, what is
charged against us-the sales of munitlons-is strictly IN
compliance with international law. There is no lnterna-
tiOnal law against buying or selling war materials.
But a victorious Germany might be hard to deal with
if it should ask indemnities from us. A victorious Ger
many would be the master of Europe, with the British
and French fleets more or less incorporated into her own,
and a visit from such a fleet. in case we refused to give
up some of our war gains, might at least shake the aver
age New Yorker and Bostonese out of his senses.
