sacring the helpless Armenians all these
years, until there wasn't one OF them
left to tell the tale.
And it is also said that the Germans
are objecting to the bombs that the al
lies are dropping in German towns Nat
urally they do not like it, but they must
have gall to mention it.
Anyhow, turn about is fair play. They
have been dropping bombs on London
and Paris over two years, killing wom-
men and children. A dose of their own
medicine will be good for them.
Germany's cruelty to Belgium,
against international agreements, made
her a marked tarket for international
indignation and scorn forever. The
dropping of bombs in the streets OF
London and Paris and on hospitals
marked with the flags that have always
protected the nurses of the wounded In
all wars between civilized nations, Is
simply of a piece with trying to Kill
the helpless women and children to
spite their enemies. Germany has inV1t-
ed dreadful punishment for these acts
The English and French seemed to
wait a long time before they decided to
retaliate in kind, but they have license
to do their utmost. In everyday con-
Germs, in times of peace, philosophy has
decided that one may not do eveil that
even good may come, or that no man
may do evil to match what another evil
man can do, but there is different
philosophy, it seems, in times of war.
Like David Harum said, do him first
That's the dreadful thing which con-
stitutes war. General Sherman did
some awful ugly things to US in the
south, but he excused it by saying war
is -, and being what it was, he was
obliged to carry on war if he won By
the methods of war, and he made war
what he called it. In the Civil war
there were some balloon ascensions buc
no airplanes carrying bombs. l guess
we in the south might have had ac-
quaintance with. them if Sherman haa
ever puzzled his brain to get sucn
things going.
In the twentieth century, bombs from
airplanes will either be accepted as the
proper mode of war. according to Ger
man kultur, or they will be retired as
the most barbarous of all military
equipment.

Your COW is evidently suffering from
nervous shock, due no doubt to the stage
of motherhood through which she has
recently passed. Symptoms, of course,
may be deceivlng and one may not al
ways interpret them correctly, espe-
cially when not practiced in the knowl-
edge and handling of. cattle. We are
rather inclined to think from what you
say however, that your COW suffered
from a more or less severe case of milk
fever Apparently she is now on the
road to recovery therefrom and should
improve right along provided she is
properly fed and handled. The use of
the salts IN moderate quantities was no
doubt advisable. If she were suffering
from milk fever the udder should be
pumped full of air, which has been
properly filtered, by means of a bicy-
Gle pump. Milk fever is a disease which
frequently occurs shortly after parturi-
ton an highly nervous mich cows. 1t
is often fatal unless proper treatment
is given. Cows suffering from this trou-
BILE require several weeks to reach a
normal condition. They should be given
wholesome, laxative and easily digest
ed foods and should be carefully fed
anc handled for several weeks, until
they obtain a normal equilibrium again.
cut out the cottonseed meal and hulls
altogether for say so days. We would
institute in the place thereof the use Of
warm bran mashes. These are made by
pouring hot water over bran and allow
ing it TO cool so that the mixture thus
made can he readily eaten by the cow.
Bran contains a good deal of phosphorus
and produces both psychical and physi-
Cal effects which are beneficial to ami
mails suffering from nervous shock
Later on you may feed one third bran,
one-third corn meal and say one-third
peanut meal. If one of these food
stufTs is difficult to obtain leave It out
and just use any two of those mention
ed. In addition we would keep the COW
on good grass or feed her on such soil
ing crops as may be available. Any
cereal which is in the early dough stage
can be fed TO advantage. Some clean
bright alfalfa or good mixed hay should
be provided fer her when kept N the
lot We would protect her from rains
and exposure for few days We do
not think ii necessary to give other
medicines or condition powders as we
think the character Of feeding and nan
ding suggested will best insure her
most rapid and complete recovery and
the restoration of the milk flow. At
/ the END of the period mentioned you
may again feed her on meal and hulls
We would advise. however, that You
use along with the meal an equal
amount of bran or corn. Foods Of the
character mentioned in your letter may
be used for soiling purposes We would
cut these crops and feed in such amount

morning, letting her Craze during the
middle of the day. The trough should
be kept clean and, of course, when you

be sown broadcast, but we would pre-
fer to drill il in. 1t is a good crop

With regard to cotton cultivation, beg
to say that previous preparation to the
time of planting is a most essential mat
ter The more thorough and careful the
preparation of the soil the better the
yield which will be obtained and the
less cultivation after planting which Will
ordinarily be essential. Our experience
indicates that the cultivation of cotton
should be continued until the plants
are so large that they are injured by
the blowing. While il may be all right
to cultivate rather deeply early in the
growing season. we advise shallow Gull
tivation toward the end. The last cul-
tivation ought to be made solely for
the purpose of preserving dust mulch
and so retaining the moisture in the
land and causing it to be used to the
best advantage in forcing the develop
ment of the crop. We do not think side
applications can be put on to adVan-
tage late in the season. If all the fer
tilizer is not put under tn edrill row
at the time of planting ii should be used
relatively early.

fertiliZing purposes.
Sulphate of ammonia and nitrate of
soda. I take IT, are practically of the
market There are naturally only linn
tied supplies of blood tankage and other
carriers of nitrogen available, therefore
] believe we will have to depend to
considerable extent this fall on cotton
seed meal as the carrier of nitrogen to
be used under wheat and other cereals.
Hence. as a matter of fact it is we'll
suited for this purpose. as it is an or
ganic substance and does not become
available too quickly in the soil to make
it's loss liable through teaching. On the
other hand il becomes available with
sufficient rapidity to meet the require

a6visable to recommend its use. Cotton
seed meal carries some o. this element,
hence a moderate application of il "a
each acre OF land supplies some Of this
important plant food. Personally, I
think potash IL the least desirable of

Under the existing circumstances, ]
am disposed TO think that a mixture of
cottonseed meal and acid phosphate will
probably afford the farmer the cheapest
and most desirable formula to use under
cereals this fall would suggest that
they be combined according to the char
acter OF land they are to be applied to
on the basis of 500 pounds cottonseed
meal to 1900 pounds acid phosphate. or
in equal amounts. ] prefer the lattes
combination, as I think there is dis
position to minimize the application 81
nitrogen to cereal crops too much. Y
would say that the application under
wheat, particularly of the formula OF
the above character. should be at least
500 pounds In many instances I be-
ueve 500 pounds can be used to advan-
tage.
