which Barclay agreed was that the

Warts are not uncommonly met
with on all classes of live stock.
Various methods of destroying them
have been resorted to. The simplest
methods, however, are probably the
most effective.
Warts are the result of some sort
of disorganization or distortion Of
the normal functions Of the skin.
Just what causes them has never
been clearly established. One of the
best methods of destroying them is
to tie silk thread or some other
fine sharp thread around the wart
at it's base. 1t may be necessary to
re-tie the thread and so tighten it
from time to time. Eventually this
will cut the wart off and dispose of
it satisfactorily.
Other methods of destroying warts
have been advised. For instance,
one may use acetic acid. This is
applied drop by drop until the wart
is saturated and soft. In the course
of a week or ten days it comes off.
If it has not been removed by the
roots another application should be
made This is rather a tedious
method of destroying warts, and it
is one in which considerable time
and care must be exercised in order
to avoid burning or injuring parts

fed per head?
Cottonseed meal is not a suitable
food for hogs except when fed in
limited quantities and in ferment-
ed condition. 1t may be fed in 1.-the
ratio of five parts corn meal to one
of about sixty days tos hogs with
out injury. When fed it is general
ly best given in the form of a thin
Stop and as a rule it should be, Ter
mented' for from twelve to twenty
four hours, depending on seasonal
conditions. Hogs which receive all
cottonseed meal should as rule be
kept on green pasture, as it has been
found that where they are in the
open and take exercise there is
much less danger of their being in
jured by feeding cottonseed meal
than when the circumstances are
otherwise
In Georgia, as you know, we pro-
duce great quantities of velvet bean
meal and peanut meal and we have
corn meal and grain derived from
various other sources as well. Under
the circumstances we are disposed
to think that it is better policy to
feed hogs on rations made up of
any of the concentrates mentioned
rather than to depend on feeding
them cottonseed meal. even though
this may be done in the manner in
Dictated and for the period of time
suggested with considerable advan-
tage. That is to say, the hogs will
grow quite well and will make sat
isfactory gains. The reason cotton
seed meal cannot be fed in large
quantities for long periods of time
to hogs has never been ascertained.
1t is supposed to be traceable to
the fact that some sort of ptomaines
are developed in the system of the
hog as a result of consuming cot
tonseed meal, which causes it to die
after it has been fed on meal in
any considerable quantities. we will
say for periods of fifty to one hun
dred and twenty days.
You understand. of course. that in
this section of the state. as in
other parts of Georgia, we can grow
a large variety of grazing crops for
maintaining hogs and thereby les
sen materially the amount of grain

| extent
