tough grass and poor feed MAKE COWS GO ON STRIKE HJ ilk is High Because it is Scarce. The Con sumer Blames the Dairyman and the Dairyman Blames the Cow. Memphis, Tenn. ? We are again facing the annual slump in milk pro duction without a corresponding de crease in demand by the consumer. There is not enough milk at this season to supply the demand and, lis fo always tho. case when there is a shortage of any commodity* the price goes up. The consumer does not like to have prices raised. Therefore he shnv/s his displeasure by accusing the dairy man of curtailing production to boost prices, and the dairyman comes back with the argument that the cows are 10 blame for it. The real reason for the milk shor tage is the dairyman's own lack of understanding of his milk cows and the physical changes which take p]ace in them when thc'y are changed from one ration to another, of an en tirely different kind. A cow on pasture eats about 50 pounds of grass a day, but this sup plies only 5 pounds of dry matter. Sho must get a total of about. 80 pounds of dry material, which may come from the feed dealer. The own er puts his cows on a hay diet and this is the reason why cows slump when pastures begin to fail. No dairy cow will fall off in her milk yield if she is fed the right kind of concentrated feeds, and this does not necessarily mean the highest price feed on the market The right kind of feed is one that has been tried and proved? a feed which is so palatable and digestible that it is practically all turned into milk. The Edgar-Morgan Company, of this city has perfected a dairy feed after many years of constant testing and proving by a a large force of ex ports. It is known us Happy Cow Sweet l'Yod. It is a ration which sup plies in the right pr&portion the sev eral nutrients ? protein, carbohy drates, fat, fibre and mineral matter in just1 the right proportions to mako all tjhe milk "the cow can possibly pro duce. Happy Cow Feed offers variety be cause its ingredients are the most nutritious parts of six different plants. It is bulky enough to allow the digestive juices to work on the feed properly. It is the most diges tible ration in the world, and it is so palatable that cows eat it greedi ly. Happy Cow Feed is highly con centrated. It is not feed alone, but with such home-grown roughage as timothy and clover hay, pea vines, en silage and other bulky and nutritious fecdstuffs. Hundi'eds of dairymen and individ ual cow owners throughout the South are feeding Happy Cow Feed the j year 'round. They get a full yield of milk from their cows, regardless of the season, and their success is the best reason in the world why all cow owUers should feed Happy Cow I Feed. The best, wax, to prevent eows from going on a strike and the surest way ; to keep up milk production and gjv joy low costs in winter as well as in summer, is to feed this famous ra tion according to the plans and meth ods porfected by the Edgar-Morgan experts. Happy Cow Feed is sold by feed dealers throughout the South. Wheth er you have one cow or a large herd, you should start feeding it at once. It is sold in your city by all dealers,' Camden Commission Company, Dis tributors. THE STATE PRISON. Columbian Writes of Recent Observa tions of Welfare Board. To the Editor of the Chronicle: I)o we want a well disciplined peni tentiary or a community service building to entertain criminals? The public has seen the report of the state board of public welfare as appeared in The State Wednesday morning;, November 29. And after it is all sifted or boiled down it appears to be nothing more or less than an attack on Captain Roberts, the pres ent captain of the guards, whom the board of directors of the penitentiary will tell you is as considerate and humane a man as you could find, and as any one could possibly be and at the same time maintain discipline Without pasture your cow will take a vacation unless you feed her Happy Cow Sweet Feed ? 24% protein.

Distributor* &-D-I2 as it should be at the state peniten tiary where at present they have the worst bunch of criminals and crooks they have had in the history of the penitentiary, and it takes a man who knows what discipline is and how to maintain it, to handle them. That Captain Roberts' discipline at the penitentiary ife based largely upon his personal likes and dislikes, as stated in this report, is unfounded, so I am reliably informed, and has emanated from some of- the crimi nals that were interrogated by the board and we know how much regard for the truth these, criminals have. Captain Roberts was not questioned as why such a person was punished, nor were any cases investigated, but from what I can learn simply a bunch of prisoners questioned with refer ence to . punishments they may have received. The incident of man hand cuffed to the bars of cell, I am re liably informed, was handcuffed this way in periods of four hours, and not made to sleep that way. Any one interested, please investigate why it was done, and you will find out that the case had to be handled as it was. As for rules, there are no need of any printed rules for convicts at a penitentiary, jail, chaingang or anywhere else, only one rule needed, do what you are told to do and be quick about it. It is true some pris oners have been whipped. Have you ever received at home or at school a merciful whipping, or ever heard of any one receiving one? Any one who likes to see justice done and at the same time have a prisoner han dled as he should be, not as you should handle a bad Sunday school boy, would be well satisfied with the explanation given as to why whip pings were administered. Now as to the riot that happened at the penitentiary. Has anything been said about what brought this on or what caused it? Was it be cause of the food or was it because of ill treatment? No, it was neither of them. Here are some of the things that led up to it, and I wish all of the public knew it. When Captain Roberts took charge about 13 months ago, he found that from 30 to 50 convicts had leave of F. M. WOOTEN FOR PRICES ON Nitrate of Soda, Kainit, Acid and Mixed Fertilizers absence from the penitentiary every night and were to be seen on the streets of Columbia more than a Cit adel cadet would bo given or seen on the streets of Charleston in a month. ! I ?? Stopped this. He searched their cells, after hav ing in o vor 100 cases to br?ftik u pri vate lock the prisoner had on his cell, to keep it from being searched in the daytime while he was out, and took away the citizen's clothes each one had and also gat lu red up a large quantity of murderous looking knives and daggers made out of old files, bludgeons and most every kind of murderous looking implement you can find. He* has the collection, you can see it, go and look, don't take any one's word for it. When he did of their "personal rights," etc. all of this he of course deprived them This led up to the riot and but for the Cool determination of a handful of men, Columbia would have been full of a lot of murderers, thieves and burglars and we would have had a lot of dead and wounded guards who were not men enough , to da a man's job. The only deplorable thing about this incident was that every shot fired did not kill one of the murderous ring leaders. , Now as to exercise, etc. After they get supper there is not time for any exercising. Any one that knows anything, know that prisoners must be locked up before dark, and while I have not been confined in a cell for any length of time, I suffer a good deal with indigestion and I believe have plenty of company. Some of the criticism made is Just, but a large part of it is not founded on facts. For instance, the women's quarters are in better shape than thoy have been for the last 30 years. The main prison building is about BO years behind the times. The man agement can not help this. The in matea are fed bettor now than at any time in the history of the insti tution. The management is willing and anxious, to feed better but no money is available for that purpose. I only wish I could master the Eng lish language in such a way that I could arrest the attention of every citizen of South Carolina and would make him sit up and see that the only way to protect the public of this dear old commonwealth is to have a penitentiary and such men in charge of it as will treat a crimi nal who has been legally convicted ati a convict, and not in such a way as though you considered him a poor unfortunate, pei^eeuted sinner. When you read in the papers of pris oners being forced to wear stripes you do not have to take a sea trip to become nauseated. What do 'you expect them to be forced to wear? Dress suits or tuxedos ? What I have had to say above, whether it be good, bad or indiffer ent, is said in the interest of the public of this state, in wKom I am far more concerned than I am in a bunch of criminals in the peniten tiary.

Is the story of a boy and his l^st pup worth tin* front page of a news paper when the world is full *?f much more seemingly important news0 The Index Journal agrees with the New York Herald in saying that it is, provided the story of the boy and his pup has real human interest. A reader of the New York Herald WJ ceiitly criticized that newspaper for deleting a column on the front page to a story about the recovery of a pup, and the Herald defended its po-' sition convincingly. Many people in Now York and Greenwood, and anywhere else that newspapers are published, have an insatiable it^h to toll how newspapers ought to be conducted. Advice . is about the moat frequent offering an editor receives, There are thoso who insist that the freak animal stories, the little stories of whimsical people, the kind known as human interest stories are all twaddle that litter up columns that ought to be devoted to something worthwhile. They might just as well reason that the endless trivialties and small pleasantries of daily convocation be upon some "worthwhile" subject. If that should come to pass, this would be a doleful world to live in. But the New York Herald's corre spondence on this subject with the critic is worth reproducing and is given below: What the Critic Suyfl. > "To the New York Herald: Have you gone crazy ? to use a full col umn of the front page of The Herald to tell of a boy who lost his pup, when the papers are a'l crowded w.th important things? (Signed) "A Friendly Reader." To thia The Herald made reply as follows; What the Herald Says. "No, The New York Herald bus not gone crazy. Papers bj?>me de mented only when they lose t?*a< k of the human race ami never put th? boys ami the pups on tho from, puffin 44 Our 'correspondent forgets thb va riety of news appetites, Thoro oi? ten thousand young men in New York who copld tell him how many home runs Babe Kuth has made this year, but could not tell him whether Scutari is in Kurope or in Asia There are a hundred thousand moth eis in New York who have not tho slightest interest in Southhampton or Lenox, but who like to read about the boy and the pup. For the boy might be their own boy. * "The world likes to read about boys, and especially about boys thai, own pups. The boy and the dog have bvvn pals since the axis of tho earth first began to creak under tho weight of the human race. Thoro wofce boys and pups before Babylon, but Babylon and its brass. gates havo gone and the boys and their pups re main. There will be lost boys with lost pups, and kild policemen to find and feed them ,long after wars and strikes have disappeared. "And so ofter as something hap pens to a boy and a pup that makes the world recall its youth, The New York Herald will find room on the front page for it, even if it has to relegate the doings of some stodgy statesman? to the "inside."
