Judging from your description, we are
rather disposed to think that the part
of your cotton patch which you think
was struck by lightning is really in
tested with the red spider
This is a mite which hibernates in the
vicinity of cotton fields. 1t generally
passes the winter under leaves and trash
outside the cultivated land. One of the
best ways, therefore, of fighting this
pest is through the destruction of the
weeds and trash growing on terraces or
in the vicinity Of cotton fields. 1t is
important also that violets be sprayed
so that the spider which frequently
passes the winter on them may be de-
stroyed
when the red spider attacks a field it
generally affects a burning up or de-
struction of the leaves of the plant in
the characteristic manner described in
your letter If one of the affected leaves
is examined under a magnifying glass,
it will be seen that il is occupied by
thousands of reddish-brown mites. These
mites do not readily move from place

may suffer as well. It's attack is evil
denCed by the debilitated appearance
of the animal, a depraved appetite, and
the dull pale color OF the skin under
meath the wool. Profuse diarrhoea may
also be one of the symptoms. A post
norton examination indicates that the
fourth stomach contains a large num-
Der Of small round worms. white or
reddish in color, about one inch long.
Healthy animals should. of course, be
removed from those showing symptoms
of this disease. Place them on high
drinking water.
One of the best remedies suggested
for this trouble is gasoline. Shake one
tablespoonful of it up in four ounces
of sweet milk. This constitutes a dose
for a lamb weighing from GO to 100
pounds In using this medicine it is
important to fast the lamb for twelve
to fifteen hours after the medicine is
given. No food or drink should be given
for at least three hours in advance of
administering the dose. Repeat this
treatment for at least three days in
succession and again in a week or ten
days if there is no improvement. This
treatment may be repeated a third time,
if necessary Prevention. of course, is
better than any. treatment and far
more economical as well. Sheep and
lambs should be kept from infested pas
lures. 1t would. be a mistaken, how
ever, to put infested sheep on pastures
that are free from this trouble. Sheep
should be kept away from low wet land
and Stagnant water.

The Proper Time to Cut Sndan Csras

the proper time to cut Sudan grass for hay?
w III l nave to save the seed, or will the
roots keep all winter like Johnson grass?
Sudan grass may be cut in a favor
able season two or three times. When
there are abundant rains it SPROUTS ont
freely from the roots and in the course
of 80 to 60 days is ready to be cut a
second time. 1t should be cut for hay
when the seed are in the early dough
stage. This will insure your obtaining
the largest amount of nutriments for
the maintenance of animals from the
crop. When cut in this condition the
hay is also more palatable and, there
fore, more readily eaten. 1t probably
also contains a smaller amount of crude
fiber than when allowed to stand for a
longer period of time. 1t should be
handled as any other crop intended for
hay. If it is planted rather thickly in
drills, or broadcasted, the stalks will
be relatively fine and little difficulty
will be experienced in drying it out
sufficiently to permit of it's being either
stored in the barn or stacked in the
field.
This crop is an annual in the sense
that it must be planted each year, and
you cannot expect it to sprout out
from the roots next spring. To this end,
if you wish to continue the cultivation
of this grass you should set aside a
small area and let it mature seedl You
NAY then thresh out the crop from
this section of the land and save the
seed for planting another year
Sudan grass is separate and distinct
from Johnson grass in its character
istics 1t does not possess the stOlOn-
ferrous root as does the Johnson grass,
nor is it a perennial. The seed, how
ever, are very much like the seed of
Johnson grass. and many farmers who
have purchased Sudan grass have pro-
luced this Objectionable grass on their

Judging from what you say. your
mule is suffering from more or less
well-developed attack of what is known
as coffin-joint Iameness or navicular
disease. This in an inflammation of the
under surface of the navicular bone and
the tendon which passed over it. 1t
occurs, of course, in the front feet and
when well established is practically in
durable. This trouble comes on gradu-
ally and is generally first noticeable by
the animal pointing the affected foot
out while standing. There is very little
inflammation evidenced. There is COM
paratively little moving of the coffin
joint in walking and the animal digs
the toe into the ground, and in placing
the foot down strikes the dirt up for
ward. There is decided lameneSs
which does not disappear by driving. In
the early stages some good can often
be done by removing the snoe and poui-
ticing the foot. When the disease is
well established the only treatment is
a surgical operation known as nerving.
This consists in cutting out a section
of the nerve which supplies the diseased
part This destroys all sensation but
does not cure the disease. There ara
several methods of nerving, but this is
an operation which should be undertaken
and performed only by a thoroughly
competent veterinarian.

also answered by Chief olde Watkins,
