X* . ' -y\ .fc.| Many horse owners at this season of the year find that their horses are ' troubled by sores which resist usual | methods of treatment, and which in f .a this respect differ from ordinary wounds. These growths of sores are supposed to he of fungous origin. Their true nature and cause, however, have not been definitely determined. ^ They are especially prevalent in the Southern States, and are called summer sores on account of their persistency and the difficulty with which they are healed during the summer season. As cool weather approaches, healing frequently takes place, but there is always the possibility of the WOll ml imr (tllf finnu- x?riiVi < l-\ /"> I ... ? ?) vvtv U?iv IV IT X VI a tnc C4V|vent of warm weather. They may appear on any portion of the body, but are especially troublesome when occurring in the lower parts of the limbs or at points where the harness tcuches. Frequently the first indication or appearance of the trouble is a small lump resembling a grain of shot beneath the skin. In a few days the skin sloughs off over the spot, leaving a raw surface. This increases in sire until in a few weeks there is a raw surface from 1 to several inches in diameter. Commonly there is intense ^ itching, and the animal bites and rubs tVlO nn t iKriri'HTnJinr.

When examined closely they appear like a mass of dark bruised tissue in which is embedded more or less of a yellow, grit^ ty growth. Numerous methods of treatment have been resorted to in this condition, with varying results, and frequently no improvement is noted until the approach of cold weather. Many cases, however, yield to the following treatment: The wound is thoroughly scraped with a surgeons' sterilized ^ curette, or with a clean, disinfected i dull knife, after which it is showered with cold water for 10 or 15 minutes. | iodoform is then dusted on and rubbed into the wound by means of a wad of absorbent cotton, and the wound is immedii^ely covered with a layer of collodion. The iodoform and collodion applications are repeated every 24 hours for 15 days or until the sores ^ heal. Ether or chloroform may be used in place of iodoform, being pour-| ed on the cotton and applied to the sore for two minutes before painting it with collodion. Formalir^ has been used by injecting it into the tissues. This, however, should be used only by a qualified ve^ terinarian, as its improper use might cause severe sloughing and disastrous results. xT.i e 11.. - ?i ii . i><>l imiuunuy a vaiuanic stallion' becomes affected, in which case the genital organs may become involved , a and incapacitate the animal for breedm\ ing purposes.

Many housewives who always put up preserves, fruits, and jellies never think of the variety they might add to the family's winter diet by canning certain vegetabjes. The economical house wife who specializes in putting up sweets and deserts docs not usually realize that for luxuries she is spending time, money, and labor, part ^f which, at least, might profitably be lsed on the less popular vegetables, which posess great food value. .Cauliflower, a vegetable which, oven when it is in season, is overlooked by many housewives, may be canned and kept for winter use by following this recipe: Cauliflower. ' In canning cauliflower, as well as cabbage and Brussels sprouts, the products should be soaked in cold salt water for about HO minutes before blanching. Blanch five minutes in boiling water. Remove and plunge in cold water. Pack in jar or tin, add boiling water and 1 teaspoonful ? of salt to the quart . Place rubber and top; partially tighten. Cap tins and seal vent hole. Sterilize 1 hour in hot-water bath or water-seal outfit and 40 minutes in steam pressure. Remove, tighten covers, invert, and cool. Keep in dark place if in glass. A row of jars of well-canned cauliflower makes as attractive an exhibit on the housewives' shelves as does a row of well-canned peaches. Other vegetables that offer interesting possibilities are carrots, pars- I nips and sweet potatoes. These will all be found satisfactory if put up in ? the following manner: Carrots, Parsnips, and Sweet Potatoes Scald one to five minutes in boiling water. Plunge in cold water and re- i move skins.

The Extension Division is issuing two posters which will be distributed j about the state. One poster gives advice for the seeding of oats and wheat. The other urges farmers to, lake "The Second Step?Livestock.". These posters will be placed conspicu-' ously. This will be the first act of the fall campaign. Clemson College urges farmers to sow large areas to oats this fall. To I this advice is added the warning that I 1 it ..? - - Ltvrmers snouid pet tlieir oats in the 3 ground early and not wait until lato, is so many did last year. The seeding :>f oats should begin about the end of September. Farmers are advised to sow enough wheat for home consumption.

Today there are probably moi-e floifl' mills in South Carolina than >vcr before ar.d the railroads have granted very favorable shipping rates, south Carolina is now in a position to *aise enough wheat for her own bread ' md this is what should be done. i The college will also urge upon farmers the importance of giving | dose attention to fall and winter gar- |( lens and to poultry.

For this eason the stone-ground meal should >e eaten as soon as possible after millng. In thfc respect it is like milk and ream, which are usually consumed vithin a few hours after being proluced and which under the most fav>rable conditions can be kept in their latural state for only a short time. The roller-mill meal is. in its keeping qualities, more like butter, which can vith proper care be kept in good condition. not indefinitely, but for a reasonable length of time. In those sections of the country where it is customery to take corn to the mill and carry back the meal, frequent trips should be made to the mill and only small quantities of corn taken at each trip, so that the meal can be used up in a short time after being milled. The palatable, characteristic, taste of the stone-ground meal is largely due to the oil contained in the germ of the corn. As the whole kernel of corn is ground in the stone or French buhr mill, this oil is pressed out in the process and imparts its flavor to the meal. In the roller-mill process the germ is taken from the corn befn?*n vaIIi'ik* <> ? ? 11 ?' 1 >v/? v tviuug tl 11: t'A111 11 t'illlPd U UCgerminator, and but little of the oils got into the meal. The germ, if allowed to remain in the meal, causes it to spoil quickly. So the very thing that imparts the desirable flavor to the meal will also injure its keeping qualities. In some cases in stoneground meal the germ is removed by bolting after grinding. This improves the keeping quality over that of unbolted meal, but does not make it equal in keeping qualities to the meal made hv pvtrnpfitT" u~r ..v,...nit III UCIUI'C milling. The term "water-ground" meal applies to the product ground by stones without regard to whether the motive power is water, steam or electricity. A.t one time nearly all stone grinding mills were operated by water power, while roller mills were usually operated by steam, and so the term "wat?r-ground" was used to mean the same as "stone-ground." In later /ears, however, steam and electricity lave almost entirely displaced water is a motive power in mills. It is the nilling machinery, and not the source >f power, that determines the charac,er of the meal that may be produced. The keeping quality of corn meal is ilso greatly affected by heat and mois lire. Other things being equal, the Irier the meal the longer it will keen, t is the custom in larger mills and in tome smaller ones to artificially dry L 1 1,1 - no mrai alter mining. In wet secions of the country, or in wet weather my where, dried meal will very quicky absorb moisture from the atmosphere. Any kind of corn meal will ;oep much longer in cold weather ban in warm weather. It should, herefore, be stored in a dry, cool dace.
