When i Water Hogs.
'Always water hogs before feeding,
and never afterwards. If this is prac
ticed iand the animals are given ear
corn on a feeding floor, fourteen pounds
of corn will produce two pounds of
gain. Ir. other words. every bushel of
corn ought to produce ten pounds of
pork. If this Is not being accomplished
something is wrong.
Fat in the Milk.
The percentage of fat in milk from
a single cow may vary, one day giv
ing different results from the next. In
an experiment with a choice Jersey
tow the milk was found to range from
4.45 per cent. to 5.38 per cent. A sin
gle test with a cow may, therefore, be
of no value, as In the one case more
milk would be required to make a
pound of butter than in the other.
Cost of Milx Production.
You ask for the approximate cost of
produ&.ng milk at the prevailing prices
of feeds, etc. This Is a difficult ques
tion to answer, depending on whether
the cows are fresh or strippers: As
suming that they are good, ordinary
cows, and as the ordinary dairy goes,
some fresh and some strippers. We will
take a good average dairy, say of twen
ty-five cows, all in milk, no boarders,
and they will produce not to exceed
eight quarts apiece, or 200 quarts per
day. This is the average dairy, re
member, not pure-breds.
Corn and wheat feeds average $30
here; hay, $10; silage, $3 at least. We,
will feed each cow a. follows per day: I
Forty pounds silage at $3 would cost
six cents; ten pounds hay at $10, five
cents; ten pounds grain at $30, fifteen
(ei:ts; hired labor, two cents. Thus
making a total per cow per day of
twenty-eight cents, or $7 per day for
twenty-five cows. On the assumption
that these cows produce 200 quarts of
milk per day, the cost of production is
three and one-half cents per quart. I
have let the good farmer work for
nothing and board himself, and have
put nothing for the use of the cows,
buildings, etc., considering only direct
cost of feed and labor.-H. T. Coon, in
American Agriculturalist.
Geese and Ducks.
'Although many farmers refuse to
allow ducks or geese to be kept on the
farms because, as they say, they are
too troublesome, nevertheless both are
easily kept and exceedingly profitable
when rightly managed. During the
spring and summer months both will
gather their food In any old pasture
where hogs or cattle would starve.
They do best when allowed a pond or
stream of water to swim in. but they
can be kept with only sufficient water
for drinking. The young grow rapid
ly, and after the first few weeks the
require DO care except to feed. They .
are never troubled with mites and need 4
no warm house such as chickens must
have. They are healthy and seldom
die from any disease.1
They do not lay during the winter I
months, but from February to August2
will average from 100 to 125 eggs each.i
Dressed ducks and geese always bringi
good prices during the fall and winter <
months, and the feathers, which mayi
be p'lucked during the spring and sum
mer, will more than pay for the cost
of raising. They are great foragers,
but any kind of a low fence will keep1
them in bounds. We are inclined to<
think that the prejudice against them 1
is mostly due to the fact that farmers
have not tried the pure breeds of the
present day. Every farmer should pos- 1
sess a flock of both ducks and geese.
Home and Farm.
Uuing Weeds and Litter For Bedding.
Such forms of vegetable production
as weeds, vines, stalks, etc., if gathered
and burned return but little value to
the farm. If allowed to remain cn the
ground they hinder plowing. Weeds
will grow, and they are productions
of our lands and have removed from
the soil a portion of its fertility. How
to return this to the soil in the most 1
convenient form and get other benetits
from this refuse should be considered
by every farmer.
Near large cities straw has become
almost too expensive an article for
bedding.~ Shavings and sawdust are
not entirely satisfactory. Upon the
farm we have that which can take the
place'of these for stable litter. By a
little extra labor and care weeds and
rubbish can be gathered and secured
for bedding. Although not as soft as
straw, they are clean, absorb much of
the liquid manure, and soon decay in
the manure pile. When the seeds of
weeds havec matured they had best be
burned, but rather tnan have the weeds
scattered on the ground I would chance
them In the compost heap, where a
large portion of them will be destroyed.
The leaves from trees can be easily
gatl.ered and stored for stock bedding.
These may be considered by-products1
of the farm that have been going to
waste. Utilize them by returning them
to the soil and let them carry in their
tissue some fertility from the stable.

r Sorting Potattoes.
Good order and execution are mer
itorious in any and every kind of
work we have to perform, and invari- 1
ably they have their reward, yet a
phase of neglect or absolute siouchiness
seems to characterize much that many 1
do. and encroaches more or less on
what we all do. To know an evil well
is to suffer the inconven:ence of our
own failures, so we feel confident to
portriay the shortcomings of c:hers.

Handy Dumping Sled.
Thea illustration, Fig. 1, ahows a
umping sled for one or two horses, a
,onvenience that will be much appreci
ited by many farmers for hauling
nanure, dirt, etc. Take two pieces of
?ight-inch plank for runners, which
yonnect with two cross-pieces of twc
>y four scantling mortised into the
)lanks. On one side of each runnei
ail or bolt securely at required dis
:ances apart, two uprights, of about
ne and one-half by five inch material,
I'he distance apart and length of these
iprights will be dependent upon the
ength of the sled box. Gouge out a
V-shaped notch in top of each of the
;wo rear uprights, and make a square
)r rectangular notch iz tops of twc
ront ones. Make a box of the dimen
;ions thought most suitable for the
)bject in view, a little longer than
>road, however, in all cases. Put a
wo by four inch crosspiece on bottom

if box near the centre. Round off the
>rojecting ends of this crossplece tc
it in the tops of rear uprights of run
iers. Put another lighter crossplece on
ottom of box in front of the other, at
Ight point to have its projecting ends
-est In the top notches of the front up
ights. Over the ends of the centre
:rosspiece, that rest in the rounded
othes, put iron straps, or clips, to

A framework Is put up Inside the

nine the ease of dumping, and the

New Designs For Warm Weather Silks

One by one the cld styles revive.
A late model, with tht-ront br'adth
laid in narrow box pleats apdth
gores finished by a flounce at the
back and only about six inches where
it meets the front, looks as If it might
have been taken from a fashion book
of at least twenty years ago. It is not
likely to obtain great favor, however,
as the bulkiness of the front is too
great a contrast to the "straight front"
teaching that has almost revolutionized
the feminine figure and taste.
Equally objectionable, and for the
same reason, was a costume seen at
a reception lately, which was of blue

Make the Childrea. Happy.
If, instead of saying: "You may not
do that now; wait until, you are a
man," we would say: "You may do
something else now while you are
young; later, you cannot do it," -we
would give children a certain valhed I
sense of prerogative and take away I
much of the envy which they feel
toward adults. It is surprising how
many occasions a mother finds daily
for saying: "Wait until you are
larger," or, "When you are older you
will understand."
In looking back upon childhood,
many fail to see it as the hap,iest
time of life, for, standing distinct for
ever, are thoughtless words .which
stabbed far deeper than they coup to
day, and times of drsgrace ^ 'ch
seemed more than we could - , ,~s
the feeling that we were-really alit
tie importance until 'we had full
growth was not encouraging. We Were I
always stuffing ourselves with oat
meal because we were told that it t
would make us grow, and submttting
to twilight bedtime for the samai rea
son.
Realizing all this, it Is surely frorth a
the e.ffort to impress upon our ch!ldren t
the beauty and the privileges of, their
golden days, that, whatever lat4r life
niay ,hold for them, they can say: ,
"Never maindl, I have had a beautiful
childhood with its happiness p:-essed
down and running over." The early
life of the child will- then have received
its proper value and the whole char
aeter will be enriched mn consegpence.
Besides, we know well that some little
lives are only with us through the
golden days.-Ge:zrude Sherman'?row

Clemson College Makes an Important
Suggestion to The Farmers.
The following communication, is
sued by the Assistant Agriculturist
of Clemson Agricultural College, is of
so much value to the farmers of this
State on account of the present high
price of all Feed products for farm
animals and stock, that I have de
termined to get you to publish it:
As some of the products made -up In
the ration as made by Mr. Connor
may not be available to every planter
I suggest that any such planter write
to Mr. Connor and state what Food
products are available to him, both
rough forage and concentrated food,
and Mr. Connor will take pleasure in
making up a ration to suit his needs
as he has done in this instance. Yours
truly,
C. FITZSIMONS,
General Manager of the - Southern
Cotton Oil Company.
Columbia, S. C.
To the Editor of The News and
Courier: Farmers from various sec
tions of the State have been writing
asking about the advisability of feed
ing horses and mules on cotton seed
meal and hulls, and also asking for a
cheaper ration than corn.
The following prices are given in a
letter from Scranton, S. C.: Corn, $40
per ton; oats, $45 per ton; wheat
bran, $25 per ton; cotton seed meal,
$25 per ton; rice meal, $20 per ton.
Of course, corn and oats are out of
the question as a food for horses and
I mules at the above prices-so some
thing cheaper must be looked for.
The analysis shows that rice meal
has about the same composition as
corn meal, and we have found that it
is just as good for feeding pigs. We
have fed it to horses with good re
sults. I think we are safe in saying
that it may be used in place of cdrn,
pound for pound.
If no hay or fodder is used in the
ration and hulls are resorted to as
roughness, some nitrogenous food,'
such as bran or cotton seed meal, must
be used to supply protein. Hulls may
be fed without any fear of injury to
the animal. Should they refuse to eat
the hulls a little corn meal or bran
sprinkled over the surface will help
to break them to it.
A good ration may be made up as
follows:
Cents.
Six pounds of rice meal, costing..6.G
Four pounds of wheat bran, cost
ing..............50
Two pounds of cotton seed meal,
costing.. .... .---.--.--.---2.5
Ten pounds of cotton seed hulls, .
costing.. .. .. ..f -- ---;--.
Total cost of ration per day 17.1
The above ls for a horse or mule of
1,000 pounds live weight.
It is evident that a ration made up*
of corn and fodder and containing the
same amount of digestible matter as.
the above ration would cost muchi
more than the above.
The North Carolina Experiment
Station has fed cotton seed meal and
hulls to horses with good results, but A
the experiments along this 'ine have
not been extensive epough to E
that cotton seed meal can be fed 2
unlimited quantities for any lengthM
of time without injury to the anlm al
Numbers of farmers, however, have
reported that they have fed cotto3
seed meal and hulls to mules and.
horses with good results.
