cour.ty?Farmers have already
purchased co-operative Velvet Bean
seed for 2,000 acres, and this with
what seed had been saved by farm
ers for planting will easily give Flor

Beans.
Bamberg County?One farmer has
purchased a pure bred bull.
Sumter County?One miniate
greatly interested In demonstration
work, and constantly reminds his
farmer church members that tbe>

citizens by practicing better methods
of farming. lietter results are
obtained by the county agent where

means much to the spring pigs. In f
fact, all other conditions may be per- t
feet and yet if this point is neglected
failure may result.
Get the pigs on a milk or milk and ^
ehorts ration by the third week ol a
their existence, if possible. This c
may be done by building a small pen t
or creep near their bedding plac*. c
and putting a small amount of milk g
in a shallow vessel (something that t
can't be overturned). They will soon r
learn to eat. Increase the feed as t
they advance in age, but don't feed c
more than they will clean up. Keep r
the vessel clean by occasional scald- t
lrg and sunning. v
The first four months of a pig's j
life determines largely his after sue- s
cess. Never let him lose his "pig t
fat" during this time. Prepare now .,
for ample grazing, by sowing rape r
or rape and grain mixed. This can j
be grazed by the pigs within six to r
eight weeks after sown. Allow them v
to run on any green crops, especially c
clover or vetch, as soon as they will
ITraze?usually by the time they are,
four to five weeks old. \
Keep a succession of field grazing
crops maturing throughout the summer
and fall to supplement their *
dally ration of grain and to enable
them to produce at a profit. Hogs j
fed on grain alone without grazing >
crops, will give little or no profit. 1

FOltHMOST among Enster dalu
ties are the south German Enster
loaf, the mid-German "bunny
bread" and the delicious
"rabbit ears."
The first of these consists of light,
well sweetened, many raisin dotted,
white wbeaten bread; the next of
cooky dough shaped Into bunnies?
snub tailed, long eared, wildly rampant
or hunched up bunny fashion?with a
bright silver coin for an eye. And the
really most toothsome "hnsen-ohren,"
or bunny ears, are made as follows:
Haifa pound of flour, three tablespoon,
fuls of sugar. four tablespoonful* of
butter, a teaspoonful of salt, two whole
eggs and the yolks of two other* are
worked Into a dough, which let stand
for three hours in a cool spot.
Roll out to the thickness of a knife
Made and with a pastry wheel cut into
strips four Inches long and one Inch
wide. Bake In briskly boiling lard to
a delicate golden yellow, sprinkle liberally
with powdered sugar and eat before
they're three hours old.
These same Inch wide strips, cut Into
longer lengths and woven round and
round before Immersing In the boiling
lard, form the so called "stork nests"
of Suahlnn fame. Such a "nest" filled
with delicately tinted Raster eggs
makes a charming center dish for the

THE DISC HARROW.
Clemson College. April 2.?Every
farmer who has used the disc harrow
appreciates its value for producing
a fine seed bed. However,
as a general rule farmers look upon
a harrow as an implement to use
after the plow, and never think of
what great value it is when used
before plowing. As soon as the
land gets into condition for plowing
n early spring, there is a rush to
;et through. Often before the land
an all be plowed it has dried out |
to much that it crusts over, and |
i rns up in noas. i nis is wncre tne
lisc harrow proves of great value.
V11 the land which cannot be plowed
hould at least be run over by tnc
lisc harrow to form a mulcn so
hat it will not crust over before it
an be plowed. It will always be a
;ood plan to use the disc harrow in
his manner in the spring and sumier,
as at these seasons the moisure
gets out of the land before it
an all be plowed. Dy making a
nulch of loose earth with the disc
larrow plowing can be continued
vith satisfaction, and the land put
nto good condition. The land
hould not be allowed to bake on
op. If a disc harrow is not availhie,
then use the next best implenent,
and put a mulch over the soil,
leneatli the mulch the soil will renain
mellow and in turning there
rill be an absence of the despised
lods which make cotton stands so
incertain.

In. every family there is more or
! less occasion for a laxative remedy.
I It is to meet this need that Dr. CaldI
well's Syrup Pepsin is prepared, and
j that this combination of simple laxn!
tive herbs with pepsiu fulfills its pur
pose is proven by its place in thousands
of American homes,
i Prof. F. J. Hertzog, the well
I known linguist, 2341 North Orianna
St., Philadelphia, Pa., wrote to Dr.
Caldwell that he has used Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin in his household
with excellent results and that he
and his family consider it indeed a
friend in need, and always keep a
bottle of It on hand.
Constipation is the direct cause of
much serious illness and is a condition
that should never be neglected.. I
Harsh cathartics and violent purgatives
should never be employed to
relieve constipation, because the very
violence of their action shocks the
entire system. A mild laxative, such
as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is far
preferable, being mild and gentle in
Its action, without griping or other
pain or discomfort; its freedom from 1
