of colic and ether diseases. You also realize that
wrongly applied remedies are often worse than no
treatment at all. In other words, net to diagnose

AZOTURIA
At this time of the year azoturia is
a rather common disease among farm
horses. Horses that are kept in badly
ventilated stables and fed on rich
nitrogenous feeds without being allow
ed to exercise are the ones most often
affected. This disease has been term­
ed or called spinal meningitis by a
great many people but this name
should be discarded as the spinal cord
and its coverings are not affected.
Azoturia is primarily a disease of the
muscles, usually affecting the muscles
of the hind parts, but may at times
attack the muscles of the front limbs.
As the disease progresses the kidneys
become overworked in the attempt to
throw off the poisonous material from
the blood stream.
If this process is continued for a
certain length of time the kidneys
will become inflamed, greatly reducing
the chances of the patient's recovery.
Symptoms.
The first signs of azoturia may ap­
pear soon after the animal is taken
from the stable or they may fail to
appear until the animal has exercised
for several hours. Sudden lameness
is usually the first sign to be noticed
by the driver, this is seen by the
knuckling over of one or both of the
fetlock joints. The horse is inclined
to hold back and is soon sweating pro­
fusely. If he is encouraged or forced
to go further he soon loses control of
the hind limbs and falls to the ground,
being able to rise again only with
great difficulty. The paralysis may
be so severe as to prevent the animal
from getting to its feet again during
the eourse of the disease. The aost
characteristic symptom of azoturia is
the coffee-colored urine which has a
very peculiar odor.
Treatment
When this disease occurs while the
animal is on the road he should bo
stopped immediately and if possible
taken to the nearest stable. He should
be well blanketed as the cold aggra­
vates the disease. At times it will be
necessary to use a stoneboat in order
to get the animal to a place of shel­
ter. A veterinarian should be called
as soon as possible as the medicinal
treatment should be begun early.
Prevention
Azoturia may be prevented by re­
ducing the animal's feed while he is
at rest. Branmashes should be given
occasionally in order to keep the con­
tents of the bowels from becoming
dry and hard. The animal should be

DORMANT SPRAYING
All orehardists should purchase their
spraying supplies. early so as to be
sure to have everything on hand at
the proper time. If left till the last
minute, the shipment may be delayed
for some time in transit and the spray­
ing so 'delayed as to cause consider­
able loss to the orchard. It is very
important that the spraying be done
at the right time, for if applied too
early or too late, its value may be
greatly educed. The mixtures used
for dormant spraying are made mueh
stronger than for later applications
and hence should never be used after
growth has started in the spring.
The dormant wash is especially im­
portant for orchards which have pre­
viously shown disease. The spores of
the disease may live over winter on
the dead leaves or fruit or in $he crev­
ices of the bark or the root-like myce­
lium of the organism may live over
in the dead branches of the trees and
thus be a continual source of infec­
tion for other trees. Therefore the
logical thing to do is to cover the
trees thoroughly with a fungicide that
will kill the infection thread the
minute the spores start growth in the
spring. It is imperative that the trees
be thoroughly covered with the spray
or otherwise the work would not be
worth while. As a secondary measure
of precaution, all the dead and dis­
eased branches should be pruned out
and burned before spraying is done
and the wounds covered with white
lead to keep them from rotting while
healing.
There are several different kinds of
spraying compounds in use at the pres­
ent time, the most important fdr dor­
mant spraying are commercial lime
sulphur which is mixed with water at
the rate of one gallon to nine gallons
of water self-boiled lime-sulphur (15
20-50) and copper sulphate, pounds
to each fifty gallons of water. The
first of these seems to be the most
satisfactory and its use is gradually
increasing each year. Further infor­
mation on handling and applying the
spray mixtures is given in Bulletin
121 of the Minnesota Experiment Sta­
tion.—R. C. Rose, Asistant in Plant
Pathology, University Farm, St. Paul.
IMMENSE SUM IS INVOLVED
State of Minnesota Claims Title to
Irrn Ore Under Lakes.
Fifty million dollars is involved in
the suit brought by the state of Min­
nesota to determine the ownership
of iron ore under the waters of
meandered lakes, according to Sam­
uel G. Iverson, state auditor. The
test case is that of the state against
Eliza Korrer, C. N. Korrer, L. K.
Korrer, John Brennan, A. B. Coates,
Mabel R. Coates, the White Iron Lake
Iron company and the Euclid Iron
Mining company, all of Duluth. It
will be argued in the supreme court
June 30.
Embarrass lake, south of Biwabilt,
in St. Louis countv. according to Mr.
Iverson, has under its water 300 feet
of the finest iron ore, and perhaps
more. The value of this deposit can
hardly be estimated, but the auditor
believes that the royalties from it at
$1 a ton would net the permanent
school funds of Minnesota at least
$30,000,000.
I
There are other lakes the beds of
which contain rich iron ore and the
auditor says that if the sovereignty of
the state is once established over this
property the ultimate royalty income
will reach the $50,000,000 mark.
DROPS 250 FEET TO DEATH
Workman on St. Paul's New Cathedral
Is Killed.
Falling 250 feet from where he was
at work on the topmost pinnacle of
the new Roman Catholic cathedral at
St. Paul, Michael Hofer, twenty-four
years of age, an ironworker, was
instantly killed. Nearly every bone
of the man's body was broken.
Hofer, who was employed by Con­
tractor W. J. Koy, had been at work
on the cathedral building only about
two weeks. Together with Richard
Best, another ironworker, he was as­
sisting in hoisting a beam, when, it
is said, the rope broke.
The sudden release of the heavy
weight threw ye^ng Hofer over and
in an instant his body was shooting
toward the ground.
At the same time Best was striv­
ing' to regain his balance, lost when
the beam gave him a blow on the
shoulder. He was saved from Hofer's
fate only because his hand fortunate­
ly caught a support. However, his
shoulder was severely injured by the
beam.
