How ie that warehouse business get ting alongT You may not recollect juut now how much loud talking yon did about this warehouse matter back yonder, but some others do. B?yB, you must pile up the stuff or your fortifications will not protect you in times of need, A Good Move. Clemson College, through the aid of the government, will at once proceed to establish at Clemson Espen mont Sta tion a department of animal in^ istry for the puipose of improving nt dis seminating the best types of stock in the State suited for tho general use of our farmers. This is a very important step in the right direction, and, if car riod ont to completion in a practical way, will do an immense work toward encouraging stock raising and con sequent diversification of our farm crops. This idea of sending out knowledge of improved ideas of breeding im proved stock over the State will en courage farmers1 eons to remain upon the farm. ClemBon now bas two hun dred and fifteen etudents in the agri cultural class. When these boys have finished their training for agricultural pnrsaits, the national government ia ready to .forpieh these progressive yonng men with further aid in the way of-literature and seeds of the new plant breeding work. Then why not the State complete thia work by planting the golden hoofs of the best breeds of stock over the State? . Under this new impetus along the line of progressive farming at Clemson wo have a bright prospect ahead for our lamiera' sons. These golden hoof B, improved seeds and. implements in the hands of Well-trained minds of South. Carolina's own soho we hope will write out upon tba State's own soii a creditable reputation that all may be proud of. Cow Peas**'!flOculaiiug With Nitrogen fixing Bacteria. There is no more interesting ques tion before the progressive Southern farmero today than the enriching of their lands by growing cow- peas for grain and bay, and, at tho same time, storing an immense amount of nitro gen in the Eoil for future erong, lea. pedal! v t iman crops that require largo amounts of nitrogen. One farmer lu Alabama last year, it is stated, cleared 80,000 on a 400 acre farm of poor land by pro wi n g cow n?os for. hay. while the laud will produce rally double the crops this year that tbe land produced before cow peas were, grown ?nit. Last season, at eonsTderahlo ?spense and labor? wo inoculated About eight acree ot cow peas with Dr. Moore's nitrogen fixing bacteria, altsmhties with uninoculated plate, but found absolu tel v n? i ?sprOVSSSSS? r .? tari amount of nodules on tbe inoculai cd plata, oxcepting the earlier otago of cow peas on new landan Wo also had several compar?t i vo testawith alfalfa, b?t could eeo no difference between the inoculated and th? uninoculated, excepting the firet month, at which period the-difference* in fe vor of the Inoculated wap; very perceptible, in favor of inoculation on certain char* ac ter? ,of eoil i 3. On? ?MB^?1?!^" tl^?t"&??p* B? : our s southern jsoil is already thoroughly ? inoculated with tho cow pea bacteria, but the minda of Southern farm ora need i nocui sting with the importance of the cow pea.

The work of iranrovioar tho cow nea mmtmHS new varieties for cpeclal bay or grain crone along tbe line aa lionize the whole Southern farming syatetu if tho farmers would take hold of thia BVBtem with half the energy they display in growing cotton. Pro fessor 0. L. Newman, of the Agricul tural department at Clemaon, is tho recognized best autbotity on tho cow pea m this country. He grew nt Clem son last aenaeu over eighty different varieties and hus nt other times crown over twenty varieties of the soga bean, and we trust that tho board of trustees of Clemson will continue to encourage Profeuor Newman in this very impor tant work ot' improving the cow pea. .ma -?? - A good two-horao di?c harrow will throw up about as good cotton bed at ono time going as wo want.

Georgetown, April 21.-A very re grettable accident ocourred in this oouuty early yesterday morning in the killing of Mr. J. B. Buuoh by Mr. D. T. Allen, while turkey hunting. Both men aro prosperous farmers living only a few miles from town. Notwithstanding thc fact that tho game laws prohibit tho shooting of tur keys in this county after April 1st, both Mr. Bunch and Mr. Allen went cut early and took positions in some thick wenda whero turkey signs had bden Been tho day before Each mau waa totally unaware of tho proBcncc of tho other. Eaoh b<3gan yelping to draw tho turkeys with gunshot, and so truo waa tho imitation that each man supposed the other a turkey. The real turkeys aleo rospondod to tho sounds and approached tho hunters, when Mr. Allen, seeing a movement and an indistinct objoot through tho leavos, which ho thought WUB surely a turkey gobbler raisod his gun and fired. What was his horror to seo Mr. Bunch riso from the log on which ho was sit ting and fall baokward. Mr. Allen rushed to the sido of tho wounded man and asked if he was much hurt. Mr. Bunch replied that he was not only hurt, but was a doad man, and expired within a few minutes. The load of turkey shot had onterod his chest and pierced bis heart.

Mr. Allen is cvoroomo with remorse at the terrible result of his mistake. He and Mr. Bunoh had always been the bust of friends and were near neighbors. Mr. Allen is an elderly man, probably 60 years of age, and his mistake was caused largely by failing sight, the distance between the two I ( mon when the shot was fired being about 5 . . *rds.-Tho State. - N H.
