grazing experiment with red clover
affected with mildew disease (ersi-
phe polygoni) conducted by the Uni
versity of Tennessee has been COM
pleted. The experiment included
horses, cattle, sheep and swine, none
Of which showed any i'll effects what
ever. The hay feeding part of the
experiment, however, will i. be ex-
tended and the animals kept under
continual observation.
While the conclusions to be drawn
from this preliminary experiment in
dictate that clover affected with mil
dew disease is of itself harmless to
livestock, there are nevertheless some
factors that at this time should not
be overlooked
The spread of this clover disease
can in a measure, at least, be at
tributed to the frequent rains which
have occurred throughout this section
for the past month or more, creating
a condition which favored its spread
from those sections of the country,
especially the Eastern States, where it
occurred last year. The weather con-
dltions have been and are stiIl such
that the proper curing of hay has
been a very difficult matter. Conse-
quently mouldy hay, resulting from
] its being put away too damp, will not
be an uncommon occurrence this year
and part Of next
The mould thus formed will have
no relationship to the existing mildew
! disease Of red clover, and instead of
being harmless may, when fed to
livestock, especially horses and mules,
/ have decidedly poisonous effect.
The bad effect thus occurring might
be the result Of a poisonous mould or
1 complicating disease producing
4 germ known as the bacillus b0tul-
mus, producing a disease commonly
spoken of as forage poisoning, blind
staggers or bOtulism. Any feed which
has undergone these changes, whether
it be hay, cnsilage, corn. oats or other
feed, may be responsible and bring
about losses when fed to livestock. 1t
should be stated that horses and
mules are by far the most suscept-
ible of all farm animals to forage
poisoning-an important point to be
kept in mind when the manger OF
feed rack is filled. AS matter Of
fact, mouldy feed of any kind out of
storage had better be discarded as
feed for horses and mules, even
though it might be fed with relative
safety to cattle, sheep and swine,
j 1t should be a general rule in all
4 livestock feeding practice to look
upon mouldy or damaged feeds with
suspicion. Fortunately, some decided
progress has been made in the study
of forage poisoning since causative
germ bacillus botulinus) was first
brought into prominence by Vor
Ermengem, of Europe, in 1895, anC
later by Graham and others in this
country. This investigational work
has resulted in the production Of
botulinus antitoxin, which is ap.
parently giving satisfactory results

Farmers of Hawkins County Lose

The farmers of Hawkins county

expert wool grader from the Exten-

000 pounds Of wool at Rogersville,
The farmers all pooled their wool and
bids were secured from the best wool

have possibly been done by selling
individually. They saved money by

Cheatham Boys and Girls Purchase
Sixty four Pigs.

Interest in boys and girls pig

week, when several hundred people
from all parts of the county met ana
Witnessed GA club members purchase
an equal number of purebred Hamp-
shire pigs that were shipped in by
some of the most prominent breeders
in the state. County Agent j. A.
Hunter, who has worked untiringly for
several weeks organizing clubs IN all
communities, had charge Of the
activities and will continue to super
intend club work in the county.
The pigs were bred and raised by
Robert Fletcher, Of Jackson; B. r
Evans, Shelbyville; R. r. Felts,
Pleasant View, and w. j. Smith, Ash
land City. They were sold to the club
members at the very low price OF SD
per head. The transportation and
drayage charges were S1.25 per head,
making the total cost Of each animal
S16.25. There were So gifts and III
male pigs. All were two to three
months old and weighed an average
Of about so pounds. Many boys and
girls paid cash for their pigs. Those
who desired financial assistance

terest for one year by the Cheatham

A few farmers purchased pigs
along with the club members. In
fact, it was a great day for the swine
