]. w. B., Warfeld, Va, writes
My cows udder gets sore at
times and one of the teats gets
inflamed and cracks. what is
tho cause of this and what is
good remedy. [ have pair OIL
guineas two years old. 1 set hef
eggs last year and again TINS
year and they do not hatch
What is the cause of this?
There may be several reasons Tor
the condition of the cows udQer
about which you write. Iroeples
Of this kind sometimes develop iron.
and can only be cured through the
following out of sanitary measures;
Occasionally troubles such as you
describe may arise from poisoning.
Often the teats become scratched or
injured in the meadows or pastures
over which the cow ranges. inese
scratches may arise from perry
bushes or from various other causes;
If the udder is not washed OIL anu
carefully disinfected and oiled an r.
ritation and inflammation may set
up which may result In the cohollloii
described
Our method Of treatment would be
to wash and cleanse the udder very
carefully two or three times a day
with hot water. We would then use
a disinfectant solution on the udder'
This should also be fairly warm.
You may use any of the coal tar
dips for this purpose in the propots
water. Remember that the water
used should be thoroughly boiled ana
then cooled. After the diSinfectant
solution has been allowed to remain
on for few minutes then OIL the uu-
der thoroughly with some heallLES
salve such as camphorated oil, fresn
lard or any convenient substance o.
this character. You can certainly
effect a cure in this way if you hrst
ascertain the cause. u;o,,
The only reason we can assign
for the guinea eggs not hatchlng -
due to the sterlllty OF the me- liia ne set ct
you know, often when eggs are SET
even when obtained from pens Oh Sc
lected birds, they do not hatch. An
examination of these eggs generally
shows this is due to their belng
sterile. Troubles of this character
can seldom be overcome except ny
changing the matings.
Tobacco production in Georgia
e. l.. c., Atlanta, Ga, writes:
What is the average product!on
of tobacco per acre in Georgia?
At what time in year is the Ter
tilizer usually applied to inns
crop? What counties produce
the most tobacco?
The average production of tobac-
co in Georgia varies materially. Inc
WELD per acre in 1918 was approx
mately $50 pounds. In many IN
stances yields of 1000 pounds were
reported. Naturally the yield varies
a. great deal with the character OF
the soil, the type of tobacco plant
ed, the care given the crop ana tne
nature and amount Of the fertilizer
applied
Tobacco is in sense a gross
feeding plant and should be liberal
" fed with high grade, readily avail
able plant food. Fertilizer is usual
" put under the tobacco a week or
ten days before the plants are set
out. April Is ito 18th is about the
best time to transplant tobacco
plants in south Georgia. They, OF
course, must have been previously
developed in a plant bed. January
1st to 18th is generally the best time
for planting the seed bed.
There is about the same acreage
devoted to tobacco in several coun-
ties of the state. Those having any
where between 1000 ard 1000 acres
in this crop, as nearly as we can f1g-
IRE at this time, are as follows: Will
cox. Ben Hill, Tiff, Berrien and
Pierce.
