The embargo against the importa-
ton of Australian cattle and sheep
into the United States will not be
lifted until the Australian authorities
succeed in eradicating contagious
p1euro-pneumonia in that country,
according to a statement made by
Edwin T. Meredith, secretary of the
department of agriculture, in a re-
cent letter to an inquirer upon this
subject.
The inquirer called attention to an
article published in an Australian
trade paper purporting to contain a
statement by the chief inspector of
stock of New South Wales to the
effect that there is no foot-and-mouth
disease in Australia, and that as con-
tagious pleu1 o-pneumonia is purely a
disease of cattle, and can be carried
only by them, it's existence in Aus
tralia is not a good reason for the
embargo against sheep.
While agreeing that sheep are not
subject to pleuropneumonia of cat
tie, the secretary pointed out that
there is no positive evidence that

the popular projects in the counties
in which home demonstration agents
are maintained by the United States

A marked increase in the produc-
ton of sorghum syrup is indicated by
reports received by the United States
department of agriculture, which has
) been engaged in a special campaign
to induce greater production of this
crop because of the keen demand for
sugar substitutes. At the beginning
of the world war the annual yield of
sorghum syrup in the United States
was approximately 100000 gallons.
This has increased steadily until for
the past year it was approximately
30 .OO0, 900 gallons. The average yield
of syrup per acre has been about
100 gallons, but the fact that this
figure can be increased is indicated
by the departments experiments, in
which more than 400 gallons per acre
have been produced in some localities.

Many Farmers Growing Sorghum,
Says u. S. Dept. of Agriculture

In urging increased paintings to
sorghum the departments experts
point out that despite the increasing
yields the demand is still greater
than the supply, as shown by the
price for syrup, which has ranged
from 80 cents to $50 per gallon, and
in few cases even higher.
There are abundant opportunities
for increasing the sorghum produc-
ton, the experts say, since this crop
can be grown in every state in the
unions with the possible exception of
Maine. In the northern states it is
necessary to plant early-maturing
varieties recommended by the depart
ment, which is prepared to supply

garding the cultivation of this profit

The best thing to do in the case

doubtedly, the colt is obtaining
something that does not agree with

because the season has been cold and
backward, and if the digestive Or
gans become irritated, a slight cold

1t seems to me that you might
find the following medicine valuable
to use after the dosage with castor

three or four times in cold food
which should be of a rather astring-

vent the colt from eating any grain
whatever, and if it is to have any
food of a concentrated nature, give
it small amounts of bran made into
a mash of a rather thin condition by
pouring boiling water over the bran
and then allowing the mixture thus

may be readily eaten. Bran often
exercises a wholesome and salutary
effect on the alimentary canal. Re-
