posed to be sick. The horn. as you
doubtless know, is not solid structure.
You have no doubt seen many of them
broken and have observed the condition
which has led to the idea that they be-
come hollow at certain stages in the de-
velopment of this imaginary disease
called hollow horn. .....,. ...
Boring holes under such circum-
stances does not do any good and there
is no treatment for this trouble which
would prove effective. AS a matter of
fact. most animals which are supposed
to be afflicted with hollow horn are
really suffering from bad handling and
mana cement. They may be troubled
with indigestion brought about through
the use of an improper ration, or other
organic diseases which may cause them
to have a "tucked-up" and unhealthy APP
pearance which leads many farmers to
the conclusion that they are suffering
from a disease called hollow horn.
If your COW is constipated we advise
that you give her a dose of EPSON salts.
If you are not giving her any green
feed. provide some. If you have been
feeding her on cottonseed meal alone
stop a few days and replace with bran.
Feed her only certain amount of meal
in proportion to her body weight, say
not over or 4 pounds per day, unless
she weighs over 500 pounds. 1t will be
better not to feed over ? or 3 pounds of
cottonseed meal say with an equal
amount of peanut meal velvet bean
meal. bran or shorts.
AS for treating the horn from which
the corruption is flowing, the COW should
be confined and the horns cleaned out as
gently and carefully as possible and
then disinfected with one of the coal
tar dips. such as carbolic acid made up
in the solution of one part to thirty
parts of water. Several treatments may
be necessary to properly cleanse the
horns. They should then be smeared
with tar to prevent further infection
1t is very important that the animal be
confined for several days so as to pre-
vent reinfection, which may be brought
about by flies in warm weather. or on
account of dirt finding entrance into the
horns.

do these things in an efficient manner
always. They take nothing for

My one chance seemed to be to
stand pat in the hope that the officer
in charge might possibly come to the
conclusion that he had arrived at the
house too late-that the bird had
flown.
Ny position in that wine cellar was
anything but a comfortable one. Rats
and mice were scurrying across the
floor and the smashing and crashing
going on overhead was anything but
promising.
Evidently those soldiers imagined

Georgia. as you probably know, has
come to be one OF the greatest hog pro-
ducing states of the union. our increase
in the production of hogs i'm the last
few years has been very remarkable.
The numbers this year will probably
show an advance of about one million
over 1913. This is due to the fact that
in recent years we have discovered the
possibilities of making cheap pork IN
grazing crops with a high measure Of
profit and success. In the southern part
of this state. particularly where the land
=, more or less sandy. hogs may be
grazed At almost all seasons of the
year. y great variety of crops, such as
peanuts, velvet beans, cowpeas, soy
beans chufas sweet potatoes and corn
have been made available for grazing
purposes. In the winter cereals can be
used to considerable advantage. Alfalfa
can also be grown with success in a
good many sections of the state, and
this, as you know. produces one of the
finest crops available for the grazing
OF hogs In other words, in Georgia
succession of grazing crops may be
made available through the greater part
of the year and enough grain produced
at the same time through the agency of
these crops TO grow the hogs off with
A minimum amount OF corn. ne lnOuS-
try may, therefore. still be regarded as
IN its infancy.
Another reason why such progress has
been made in hog production in Geor-
gia is that a large number of animals
each year are inoculated with preventive
serum against cholera. A few years
ago this disease swept across the state
and literally decimated the hog herd. In
recent years it has been largely con-
trolled through the means indicated and
therefore the mortality among hogs has
sunk down to a very low figure.
There are several packing plants in
this state and hogs now bring a very
good price, therefore this industry must
be regarded as one of the most promis-
ing and profitable in this section of
the state. Lands which we hitherto de-
voted to cotton and which ii is believed
would be ruined if used for agricultu-
raj purposes by the advent of the boil
weevil are now worth more for the
production of pork than they were for
cotton.

long does u take them To mature:
1t is not too late to plant white kattir
corn and red-tOp sorghum for silage pur
poses in your section of the state These
crops require about 120 days to mature
depending somewhat on the season and
the amount of rainfall. If you will use
plenty of acid phosphate under them,
it is more likely to hasten maturity.
Planting somewhat in wider rows causes
more rapid growth than ordinarily.
Planting in about four-fOot rows on red
clay land and five to six-foot rows on
sandy lands is probably not too great
a distance to plant. You might possibly
plant now. though it is a little later
in the sea son than is ordinarily consid-
cred practical. The trade names of these
varieties are either white Kaffir or black
hull white Kaffir, and red-head or red
top sorghum.

. At, this season of the year and in
your section of the south it is probably
better to use nitrate of soda as a top
dressing or side application for cotton
than any other element you could ap-
ply. A good many people have the idea
that r mixed fertilizer used in the mid
die of the growing season is an advan-
tage. but our experience does not CO.
incide with this point of view. As you
probably know, phosphoric acid and pot
ash are taken up rather slowly by the
plants and they are used to consid-
cradle extent relatively early in the
growing season. AS these elements are
not readily leached from the soil it is
good practice to put them under the
ground when the crop is planted. Nitro
gen becomes much more quickly avail
able to plants than any other form of
plant food required by them. Nitrogen
used i'm the form of nitrate of soda will
be taken up I'm about ten days under
ordinary conditions. Nitrogen is one Of
the most important and essential ele-
ments in the production of all crops
We think it's use will do more to in
crease cotton production than anything
else. We suggest, therefore, that you
apply 100 pounds of this element broad
81 between the drill rows after rather
than before a rain. We would put II on
Immediately. 1t is not necessary to
work il into the soil. The ground water
will rise up in the night and dissolve
it. and YOU will see the benefits of its
use in the course of ten days.
