2 STOCK RAISING IN S. C. % ____________ SOCIETIES TO BE FORMED. United State* Department of Agriculture to Aid in Co-0|?erative Plan in This State. Washington, July 28.?Representative Lever has completed arrangements with the department of agriculture by which co-operative live stock raising is soou to be begun in South Carolina. This matter has been under advisement for some time, and Mr. Lever is in receipt of a letter from the department in which the plan of work Is set out somewhat In detail. The following excerpt from Secretary Galloway's letter goes Into the matter fully: "We are very much interested in this proposition of yours to eucourage the greater production of animals in South Carolina. I have discussed the matter somewhat fully with the secretary, and he is of the opinion that much can be done toward stimulating interest in the subject of animal husbandry and has made a number of suggestions as to how the work might be carried out. As I understand it. your plan is to encourage the production of live stock by organizing co-operative live stock societies or associations and have them develop the work on a community basis. Such a co-operative society, while making live stock the central feature, would, of course, necessarily have to consider practically all phases of agriculture? rotation of crops, kinds of crops to grow, marketing, rural credits and so forth. TO STUDY SITUATION. "Refore proceeding in a matter of this kind it would seenl highly desirable that we should have some first-hand information as to the conditions in the region where the work is to he organized. There should he a sort of reconnaisance study of the situation, so to speak, by some experienced man in the department, who could visit the section and confer with the people to the end of shaping up a definite plan or project for the organization of a co-operative live stocq association or industry. The functions of the department in this field would seem to lie in the direction of proper supervision and direction of the work rather than attempting to do the work itself. The department, in an educational way, can first determine the conditions as they exist, can point the means of organizing under these conditions, can Indicate in large measure the proper procedure in handling such an association a? is in contemplation, but could not very well assume the responsibility foi the direct management of such an association. This management should be left to the association itself, which, feeling the direct responsibility of management, would In all probability move along more prosperously than if the government i .1 rUltJUlU II III** lllill ir^llUIIQIUIIIVjr. "As explained to you, wo will take Immediate steps to find a Rood man to send to St. Matthews to Ret in touch with Mr. Ranks, and I wil pive you the name of this gentlemar within a few days." LEVER ENTHUSIASTIC Mr Lever is enthusiastic in hav inp been able to direct the attontioi of the department to the great prob lem "of reinforcinp our cotton croj with a stronp riplit arm." "Tlie live stock industry, not onl] I us to cattle, but as to hop raising has been wofully neplected in th< South, due to the character of oin labor and to the mistaken idea tlia it is more profitable to prow cottoi and buy meats and other home neces saries than it is to supplement the cotton crop by the production o these essential necessaries to even farmer." is the way Mr. Lever put! the case. ''The meat supply of the natioi is failing to keep pace with th< number of months to lie supplied and we are up against the proposi tion, either of eating less meat o: growing more of it. Our expor trade in beef has practically ceased and we can no longer depend for on beef supply upon the large ranche of the West. This will continue t< supply a large part of the demani which cannot be supplied unde present conditions. j CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION. The older settled communities whieh heretofore have depende* upon the West for moat supply, mus be taught to supply this. The East em and Southern farmers must hi made to become entirely self-sustain ing if they are to he developed t< their full capacity of productivity "I am firmly of the opinion," con tinued Mr. Lever, "that with th rapid eradication of the cattle ticl and the Introduction of the serun for the prevention of hog cholera the South and East, will shortly flm themselves able to supply fully th demands of their people for meat; The necessity for our people to ge away from the one-crop Idea is ao centuated and emphasized by th rapid approach of the boll weevil up on our borders?this pest being no\ within striking distance of the Geot gia line. No way of checking its ad vance has been found, and it is m opinion that the Carolina* and Geoi gia must make up their minds tha If cotton is continued to be grow Uasightly Face Spots Are cured by Dr. Hobso~'s Eczem Ointment, which heals al skin eruj \tions.

I a Men working ten hours a day in 11 the mills where women and children k work eleven hours a day: a citizen e of North Carolina writes to the National Child Labor Committee with J surprise at this phenomenon in his g native state. I a "Last week I saw in two counties t in North Carolina what seems to me n to be about the most successful b butchery of the laws of chivalry that t I have ever known. Somehow it c seemed to me to do violence to that t instinct which makes a man lift his r hat or run to do any service for a wo- t man or show a kindness to a child, j "At two different places I saw wo- 1 men and children go to work at six s in the morning. There were scores i of them. Just one hour after the c women and children went to work, I saw the men go to work. They came i from practically the same community, i Men working ten hours, women and 1 children working eleven hours! It is there going on all the time, all i the week, all the month, all the year. \ "If women and children can work < eleven hours, why net men? They i can. but we have learned that it does \ not pay to have iner work so long. ^ Nobody seems to have given much t thought to the women and children 1 They simply take what is coming. ? They are not in position to raise any % objection. "Is a man to be polite and helpful c to only a certain part of our women c and children? No one of us but J would hasten to help a woman or a v child, but I tell you in these two s North Carolina counties I saw women \ and children working an hour longer, e going to work an hour earlier, than i the men. If the men can take this a hour, why not give it to the women r and children? |c "I heard an officer in one of these I mill's working eleven hours by day | and twelve hours by night, pray to f , God that we be shown our full duty, r , As the words ,feli from his lips, I < could not but think that an answer t . to that prayer was woefully needed V ! in his case. 5 1 1 1 Some Needs South. ; Cincinnati Enquirer. j ne sou m nas inaup ana continues i I making wonderful progress in the | ' manufacturing interests. Much may " t be said also of its progress in produc- 1 tions from the soil. A great advance 1 would follow perfection of the mai chine for picking cotton. There is i hope that inventive genius and ener1 gy in effort may bring about the nec? essary improvement of this machine, first tried in Texas fields, and last year in other sections, including Marlboro and Lancaster counties, ; s.c. ; This machine, moving and operating by gasoline, has given evidence ' of possibilities of practical use after changes and improvements. Its ' mecanloal hands reach out as it ^ shoulders its way between rows and gathers in the white product to the receiving bin, with one man at the wheels. Necessarily it must, as now 1 seen, take in with the desired cotton much more of the "trash" than is oiWi.ii in tln> nickiner bv men. women . and children. It thi> machine shall 1 some day he perfected there will come a revoultlon in the gathering t ot cotton. It may come that in such , event change may lie necessary in planting as to width net ween rows. 1 Some of us outside the cotton holt r may form an idea of the difficulties r in the South, in picking times, in securing and holding labor if we r note the troubles of farmers in oilier s zones and features of agriculture ^ w hen harvesting must commence and j continue. With the latter the trouble r is greater because of the imperative demand of limited time. With the planters South the picking is more gradual, through many weeks and i, even several months, according to the 1 j time of planting and rapidity of t j growth. The larger plantations would - ' be greatly benefited by perfection e i of this machine. The picking season -[soon to begin, may witness operad tions of two or three machines. '. | Success of this mechanical picker - would mean that much labor in the p field could be devoted to other proIt ductions, particularly foodstuffs, a Many v ho are now content to follow i. picking for hire for their living, in ft nnnnaMnn utth a ?ftrt f?f Cultivation e of ther own litle patches or field and i. garden, would be led to more ext tensive production from the soil, !- and thus help to relieve the provorty e of the daily market in many towns >- South. With an improved daily v market in vegetables and fruit would come a betterment in living; possiI bly, by force of example and compariy son, a great improvement for the table in fresh meats. A considerat able portion of the population of the n South of the better class, who could I well afford and would eagerly welcome such betterment, are now compelled to put up with very poor a fruits and vegetables unless prot duced in their own gardens. Recently, j e in a considerable city on the Atlan- | I, tic coast of a Southern State, toma- 1 a toes were rotting at 4 0 cents per bu- | r. shel. In an Interior city of that state, l?tonly 90 miles from this scene of i- | waste, reached tn a rew nours uy exy press, tomatoes were commanding y. , 50 cents a peck, and poor ones at y that.

A small hint of this kind ought to ' be of great value in cases where a difference of a few degrees of temperature is of utmost Importance to the sick. It may be actually a question of life and death to a baby. But, if expense is not of absolute importance, an invalid in hot weather can always be kept cool by filling a washtub or other large resceptacle with ice and blowing the air over it toward the bed with an electric fan. Some hundreds of pounds of ice per diem will be required, perhaps, but the effect is admirable. The ice and fan. of course, ought not to be too near the patient, lest the latter catch cold. At the same time it should be understood that the air is not rendered too damp by this means, but actually made dry. the moisture it con tains being taken up by the Ice. An idea now In use to some extent Is that of throwing a spray of cold water into a room until the air is supersaturated and then forcing this cooled air into other rooms. But the application of human ingenuity to such problems have evolved no end of contrivances; and, as a curious inversion of the idea, we have methods of utilizing ice actually for heating purposes. Carloads of bananas are protected from cold zero weather by throwing streams of water upon them with a hose and thus covering them with a thick coat of ice. The ice keeps the fruit warm by preventing radiation.

Those who in past years have had ultra beef leanings to such an extent that to see a dairy bred steer in the teed ] lot sent them into convulsions, are ( now urging the dairyman to save ] their calves. ] It will be remembered that for years the beet men have placed an < unjustifiable embargo on dairy bred ( steers. The price offered bore no s relation to the actual meat value of such stock. It is not to be wondered < that the dairy male calves, other than pure-bred animals, were killed on sight. When the market conditions and < prices are such as to warrant the dairyman in keeping his male calves ' it will not require any urging on ' the part of any one to get him to save them. If the dairy business has forged ahead while the beef business has ] progressed in a crawfish manner. It , is because the prices of dairy products have been freer from the op eratlons or the speculator. Dairy ' products have steadily and uniform- ' ly advanced while beef prices have been at times subject to violent fluctuations. Any farmer In the corn belt that may be questioned is apt to say In I reference to beef, that the uncertainty of returns and the high price of feed is the cause of the beef short- ( ag. Many will say that when they the price and they sell at a loss. ( the price any they sell at a loss. ( Whatever may be the future for the , beef man, one thing is certain, confidence in prices must be restored. The farmer must be assured that his destiny is not in the hands of a few men who may make or break him at will. The stability of the dairy business , depends upon this confidence of the farmer in his markets. Markets are | not always satisfactory, but they nave a sieauiness inai is Baiisiymg , and through the past few years of general advancing prices the dairy farmer has received his Just portion of the increase.
