treatment for cure should be such as
to remove the cause of the indigestion.
Indigestion is usually caused by eating
poorly cured or innutritious food,
like poor hay or mouldy, heated grain.
It is sometimes caused by the animal
bolting its food before chewing it.
There are also many other causes, as
diseases of the stomach and related
organs. Usually, a change to good,
nutritious food fed in moderate quantities
and at regular intervals will
cause improvement. A cathartic ball
made up of one ounce of aloes, or one
pint of linseed oil should be given at
the commencement of the treatment
to clear out the stomach and bowels.
An alkaline tonic should be given
after the ball or oil has done its work.
This tonic may be made up of baking
soda, powdered ginger and powdered
gentian, in equal parts. Mix
thoroughly and give in heaping tablespoonful
doses twice a day before
feeding.—Ed.
BEDDING FOR STOCK—LIME FOR
TOBACO—ENRICHING FER-
TILIZER.
1. What is the best bedding for
stock—pine tags or oak leaves?
2 Will lime be injurious to tobacco
if put on the land intended for tobacco
next year? The land is a grey
land, with a little sand in it.
3 How much potash and ammonia
must be put in a ton of 8-2-2 fertilizer
to give it 5 per cent.?
STEFHEN P. POOL.
Granville Co., N. C.
1. We would prefer to use the oak
leaves. Neither make the best bedding,
as the pine tags are resinous
and, therefore, do not readily decompose,
whilst the oak leaves have a
good deal of tannin in them and are
slow of decomposition. Straw is
preferable to either of them, as it decomposes
readily and is a good absorbent
of the liquid.
2. Lime applied now will not be
injurious to the tobacco—used in moderation,
say, not more than a ton to
the acre. Used in excess, it has a
tendency to make a "boney" leaf.
3. You cannot mix ammonia and
potash in a mixed commercial fertilizer
like an 8-2-2 brand so as to get
an exact 5 per cent, content of potash
and 5 per cent, of ammonia. You
can add a nitrogenous fertilizer like
nitrate of soda, So as to increase the
ammonia, and a potassic fertilizer like
muriate or potash, so as to increase
the potash in the mixture, but the
fertilizer will not then analyze strictly
8-5-5. If you add 200 pounds of
nitrate of soda you will add thirtyeight
pounds of ammonia to the mixture
and one hundred pounds of
muriate of potash will add forty-five
pounds of potash to the mixture, and
this will bring it up more nearly to
the proportions you desire. As one
cannot tell what were the ingredients
nsed to make the 8-2-2 mixture, it is
