Some animals are condemned out right upon the ante mortem inspection. For instance, all hogs which v plainly show that they are affected with either hog cholera or swine plague are marked "US Condemned.'' Further, if a hog is one of a lot in which there are symptoms of hog cholera or swine plague and the animal has a temperature of 106 degrees F. or higher, it is condemned. All animals thus marked are destroyed. They can not be taken into the establishment to be slaughtered or dressed, but must be disposed of in if tanks so as to prevent their use for food purposes. In case of doubt as to the cause of the high temperature the animal may be held under the in i = MEAT INSPECTION. How tke Government Inspects Animals Before Slaughter. . & All farmers and others who raise - . or handle cattle, sheep, hogs, or goats which are marketed for food ' purposes should know something of * the general rules under which the? department conducts the inspection of animals to be slaughtered. When such animals are forwarded to public stockyards or to establishments where Federal meat inspection is maintained they are- inspected alive. This inspection is known as the ante mortem inspection and is done in the stockyards or in the pens of the establishment. When conducted in the public stockyards ^ **** mortem inspection is usual* w b made at the scales when the ani"S mals are weighed. The chief reqire^ ments for the disposal of animals upon this inspection are as follows: Those animals which do not plainly ifrow, but are suspected of being ^affected with, any disease or condition which may cause condemnation in whole or in part at the time of slaughter, are marked with a serially-numbered metal tag which " - - <? ?* ? n , it bears the legend u 5 suspect. All animals which are thus marked as suspects are held apart and slaughtered separately from other animals, the only exception to- this rule being those held for advanced pregnancy or on account of having recently given birth to young, and which have not been exposed to any infectious or contagious disease. Such animals, together with their young, may be released for breeds ing or dairy purposes, and when so * released they must be promptly removed from the stockyards or prem. fam of the establishment where in rell's I WJf he He imov fVm f/Vhappr* err J V/Ui. 1/XJ.Vs UVMtVVVV 1 work done wher in the warehouse er has done his wor is now up to the Wa en who have work he crop a living pric jorrell's Warehous pening S Call tc & Gon spector's supervision for further examination and taking of temperature. Immature animals offered for ante-mortem inspection at any of the places specified in the regulation are required to be condemned outright; likewise all animals showing symptoms of rabies, tetanus, milk fever or railroad sickness. Besides this ante-mortem inspection, the carcasses are thoroughly inspected at the lime of and after siavghter, and the meat and products are also inspected in the various stages and processes of preparation. j The losses caused through the condemnation of animals which are un' fit for food affects directly or indirectly the price which the producer receives for his live stock. The purchasers of animals for slaughter not infrequently trace diseased shipments back to their origin where disease is harbored, and thereafter decline to take animals from infected farms ana localities except under an arrangement which will insure them against loss. It therefore behooyes the producer to use every practicable means to keep his heards and flocks free from disease and to refrain from forwarding diseased or suspicious animal to market.

Several weeks ago there was a , feeling prevalent among the farmers of Williamsburg county that there were poor prospects for crops. A long, almost continuous spell of wet weather in June kept farmers out of their fields and the grass, "General Green", as it is commonly called hereabouts, was about to take possession of tobacco, corn and cotton and scarcely a farmer that we consulted on the crop outlook appeared to be hopeful. This was the second attitude the mind of our farmers had assumed, for prior to the long wet spell, and before the weeds and nut grass began to flourish, they were exceedingly hopeful of a bumper crop for 1915 at a much reduced cost over preceding years on account of a reduction in the quantity of fertilizers used. Within the past ten days or two week the third attitude of the farmers in this section is like unto the first. The recent warm weather with occasional rains has brought all growing crops nearly up to standard at this season. Tobacco which was thought to be about 60 per cent of a crop has jumped to 80 per cent and practically the same may be said of cotton and corn. Wheat, wherever planted in the county has been very satisfactory, and a small per cent of Williamsburg farmers who never before knew what it was to eat bread from home-made flour I mill kn oklo fft oninu this nPW pY will k/t auit w vujuj ~.. perience this fall. Some of them have raised enough wheat to supply their home needs and have some to spare. Tobacco in almost eyery section is looking fine. It is large and of a beautiful green color. Some fear, however, that it will not turn out well in quality, on account of having taken on such a luxuriant and rapid growth. But warehousemen in this section who are keeping close tab on every'field of tobacco i say that they look for a good paying quality if the farmers use proper care and precaution in curing their crop. As to cotton and corn, they also have taken on a wonderful change, and every prospect points to a good yield. Hence, there is a reason for the present hopeful attitude of the farmers in this section.

A few days ago, while crossing the steel bridge over Black river west of Kingstree, my horse became frightened at the tall willow trees alongside the bridge swaying in the breeze and came near jumping over the railing into the river. I have heard of other similar occurrences lately. It seems that there is, or should be, some officer whose business it is to have such objects removed from this place before neglect causes destruction. A Citizen of Greelyville. Greelyville, July 12. A FAIR WARNING. One That Should Be Heeded by Kingstree Residents. Frequently the first sign of kidney trouble is a slight ache or pain in the loins. Neglect of this warning makes the way easy for more serious troubles?dropsy, gravel, Bright's disease. Tis well to pay attention to the first sign. Weak kidneys generally grow weaker and delay is often dangerous. Residents of this locality place reliance in Doan's Kidney pills. This tested remedy has been used in kidney *. Ul?
