Danville. Va, Nav 17.--Former
Governor Cole Blease. of South Caro-
lima, who was here to address the
Virginia Red Mems convention last
night. went on record in an inter-
view as being vigorously opposed to
CONSUMPTION.
He believes the men of the coun-
try should be permitted to join the
colors of their own voition and thinks
hat recruiting would take forward

raise his division and go abroad.
The South Carolinian said that he
is an ardent pacifst, but that now
that the country has gone to war
that 1t Is every mans duty to be at
unity in the one great purpose.
Mr.. Blease believes that for many
states the conscription feature will

the war. The merging of regiments

CLOVER BLOAT MAY
USUALLY BE PREVENTED
Cattle Should Be Changed From Dry
to Green Feed Gradually.

A sudden change from dry feed to
a green, succulent feed of any kind is
likely to cause bloating in cattle
This is especially likely to occur when
they Craze on white clover in the
spring when it is young and green, OF
when it Is in full bloom. 1t rapidly
ferments in the paunch, and the gas
there produced causes distension of
this large stomach on the left side of
the animal. with the characteristic ap-
peRrance, and the general train of
symptoms, familiar to most cattle
owners.
Preventive measures always give
the most satisfactory results in ward.
ing of this condition. When first turn.
ing cattle on clover, it should be done
gradually until the digestive organs
become accustomed to the change:
and the safest way Is not to permit
them to eat this succulent feed for
longer than twenty minutes to half
an hour the first day, and increase the
length Of the period each day after.
wards until it seems to have lost its
bloating effect. 1t is safer, also, not
to turn the cattle on this pasture
while the dew is on It.
Another preventive method is to
give the cattle some dry feed, such as
hay, before turning them on the clo-
ver This, of course, lessons the
quantity Of clover consumed and tends
to prevent fermentation of the green
feed.
After short while, when the stom-
ach has accommodated itself to the
change from the dry to the succulent
feed. the animals may consume large
quantities of the latter without appar-
ent inconvenience.--w. 81. Dalsympie,

SOME CORN vAR1ETlL.
ADAPTED TO LOUISIANA

There is no one best variety of corn
for Louisiana. Under average condi-
tions the number of desirable varie-
ties, however, is not very large. Those
that have become established among
the Southern types should be relied
upon. Among the small-eared prolific
corns that have given best results uni
formly are Hastings Prolific, Mosby's
Prolific, Gandy's Prolific, all more or
less closely related, and a very few
similar strains bearing local names.
OF the large-eared type the Calhoun
Red Cob, Sentel1's White Dent and
related varieties are the most depend
able.
The Yellow Creole Is Justly pop
ular variety In extreme South Louisi-
ana. In variety tests 1t never stands
toward the top, but under average
farm conditions it has many good
qualities. to commend 1t. The stalk is
strong, the eshuck is heavy and well
closed at the end, and the grain is re-
sistant to weevils and wet weather.
