84 THE SOUTHERN PLANTER. [January, thereafter half an ounce of saltpeter with a drachm of chlorate of potash, bathe the bag with hot water and rub with camphorated lard. If the food being too rich or abundant is the cause of trouble reduce the same. If from acrid plants these must be tken out of the feed. Induration (hardening) of the udder may be overcome by rubbing with a combination of iodine ointment one part, soft soap two parts or mercurial ointment and soap may be used. Careful milking is imperative.—Ed. MILLET SEED—CHECKING ROT IN APPLES—FLOATS^POTASH IN GRANITE. 1. I would like to know the value of millet seed as a feed for stock or poultry. Also its usual value on the market. 2. I give you my experience in saving apples that have rotten specks on them which you wish to save. Cut out the spot and fill with slacked lime. For two years I have taken some of my best culls after packing and treated them with lime in this way and they keep all right. It kills the rot and forms a dry skin or crust just like it does on a cut potato that has been limed. 3. "Would also like some one to give their experience with floats or ground South Carolina rock. How long does it take to become available? What is its market value? The agents ask as much for the ground rock as they do for dissolved. How much sulphuric acid does it take to dissolve a ton? 4. I saw some time ago that the Department of Agriculture had discovered that granite stone carried a large percentage of potash and that it could be maunfactured for one cent per pound. What kind of stone do they call granite? And why is it that some one is not after it? W. F. KYGER. Rockingham Co., Va. 1. Millet seed contains 11 per cent, of protein, 57 per cent, of carbohydrate, and 4 per cent, of fat. With these constituents it ought to be a good feed for stock, but it should never be fed unground, as it is so small that it cannot be properly ground up by the animals whilst eating it, and in this form it is indigestible. Stewart says that ground it is good feed for horses. There has been, however, much complaint that millet hay, when fed to horses with the seed in it, causes derangement of the kidneys. It is, fed to hogs in ithe West to some extent. For poultry, it is a good feed. We cannot give market value, as it is not dealt in on this market except for seed. For this purpose the seedsmen quote it regularly. 3. In this issue, in an article by Professor Massey, you will find some remarks as to floats.

With tbe Money I Give Youa Real 30 Day Free Trial S Your Pocket don't have to YOU pay me or any one else a single cent on the price of my spreader before you try it or after you try it, if it doesn't prove itself to be the best made. I am not beginning in the spreader business. I have built spreaders for years. So I know what beginners don't know. I know how to and do build the Galloway Spreader so it can't break and wear out where experimental spreaders are sure to break and wear out. I challenge any other manure spreader seller or manu. facturer to put his spreader alongside of the Galloway in the hardest kind of a test. I don't care what other spreader you try— it won't cost you a cent to try the Galloway at the same time. So it's certainly to your advantage to try the Galloway at no cost to you even if you do put up your money to try any other spreader, if the Galloway doesn't beat any other that you zt" all you have to do is return it at my expense und you're not out a penny and you haven't risked a penny. ,Galloway Wagon MaiUlFe § Box My Price—the Lowest I make the only 70. bu. spreader with wagon runng gear.

Prompt delivery to you from Waterloo Factory or transfer points at Kansas City; Minneapolis; Madison, Wisconsin, etc. leguminous crops ploughed down, the floats become available much more quickly than has been supposed. We are strongly in favor of the use of floats for the improvemet of land, as in this form the phosphoric acid is more lasting in its action and there is no risk to be run of depriving the land of its available lime content, which is sometimes the case when acid phosphate is used. The acid phosphate is more quickly available. The price of floats ought not to be so high as the acid phosphate. Nearly equal parts by weight of sulphuric acid and rock were formerly used, but now, we understand, less acid is taken than rock. 4. We have not followed closely the investigations made as to the potassic content of granite rock. We saw the report on tbe subject, but do not know that the process for making the potash available is being used anywhere. Granite rock is one of the oldest and hardest rock formations. We have millions of tons of it around this city, where it is utilized for building material and for paving purposes and for concrete work.—Ed. HORSE EATING DUNG. What is the cause of a mule or horse eating their own dung? Is there any remedy to break them of such a habit? W. M. FEARCE. Nash Co., N. C.
