County Agent Detects
 Disease Among Cattle

Hemorragic septicema has been de- tected among the hogs and cattle of Jefferson county by Hamlin l.. Brown. county agricultural agent MT Brown says that, though the name is new. the disease is not. He says it is very much like cholera, but is not so fatal nor so communicable. It differs from cholera in that it attacks both hogs and cattle. It is worse on wet, swanpy lands, and like other diseases, is less likely to at tack well-fed animals than poorly neur- ished ones A serum is used in treat ing it.

leaves which should have been their

gradually, taking care that the plants
are not smothering. If the weuther

as possible, as the sooner the seeds
are got in, with safety, the better the
chances will be for their developing
into shapely, disable roots of good size.
AS a matter of fact. we never see
parsnips too big, provided the roots
are clean and Shapely, but understood
! specimens with possible prongS to
their bodies are hardly worth the dig

! Most of the pronging possibly all of

white sand can be had to incorporate
with the soil, it should he freely used.
In digging, two splits at least are
necessary, and if the grower chooses
to 60 another foot he will be repaid
| for his trouble.
After digging dry day and dry soil
should be given for working the whole
with a digging fork; after that some
! little consolidation of the surface will
be necessary to prevent sinking into
hollows during the process of sowing.
For this the surface must be Sutfi-
GENTLY dry to prevent all suspicion of
clinging to the feet, and If you cannot
have those happy conditions just at
the time wanted you must wait for
| them
Drills about two inches in depth
should be drawn for the seeds, and as
we want really food roots, the drills
may we'll be drawn IS inches apart.
! In these the seeds should be sown
thnly, and the error of putting in 80
seeds where but one is wanted should
not be so common. Allowance must,
of course, be made for failures. but
! two seeds should never touch, or there
is trouble for the thinner, who, in pull
ing one is apt to pull both.
The onion is a deeper roofing sub

though all we want is above ground,
to get that good the roots go down
into IT, so deep tillage in this case is
desirable.
If the ground is well worked. under
dry conditions ii can he thoroughly
firmed, and it can hardly he too firm
or too much consolidated for onions
prior to sowing.
The drills may be drawn as for
parSnips, but closer together, one foot
apart being ample. and after sowing
with thoroughly dry surface the
roller may be brought into reQuisitlon,

STOMACH TROUBLES
 ARE DUE 7OACID|TY
Tells Safe, Certain, Speedy Relief For
 Acid Indigestion

So-cal1ed stomach troubles. such as indigestion. gas sourness. stoTnach- : ache and inability to retain food, are in probably nine cases out of ten sim- ply evidence that excessive secretion of acid is taking place in the stoma cn, causing the formation of gas and acid indigestion.
 Gas distends the stomach and causes that full, oppressive, burning feeling sometimes known as heartburn, wfall e the acid irritates and in1ameS the delicate lining of the stomach. The trouble lies entirely in the excess de- veFopment or secretion of acid.
 To stop or prevent this souring of the food contents of the stomach and to neutralize the acid and make 1t bland and harmless, a teaspeonful of biSurated magnesia, good and. ef- fective corrector of acid stomach, should be taken in a quarter of glass of hot or cold water after eating Or whenever gas. sourness or acidity is felt. This sweetens the. stomach and neutralizes the acidity in a few moments and is. a perfectly harmless and inexpensive remedy to use. An antiacid such as bisurated mag nesia. which can be obtained from any druggist in either powder or tablei form. enables the stomach to do its work properly without the aid of arti- fcial digestents. Magnesia comes 1T several forms, so be certain to ask fol and take only Bisurated Magnesia which is especially prepared for the above purpose.
