The Banquet was held in South Carolina, no one was invited to (he feast except newspaper men. The toast master of the occasion was the Newberxy News and Herald. The table was ladened with all the political deli- j, eacies common to such an occasion. The e: Newberry News and Herald occupied the ? head of the table and dispensed meats. n At the opposite end of .the table the ven- tl orable Laurensville Herald took up poci- o tion near the "silly bub" tank and coffee ? pot. t When the guests had gathered for the e feast of the Newberry Herald and News 8 up-spoke enquiring of the honorod guest, ? the News and Courier, what be would t have? Whereat the News and Courier b spoke Ifor a generous slice of well done ^ crow! f, "And what will the Daily Mail take?" v asked the toast-master. "Give me a small P slice," said the mail. "Of what, asked v the toast master. Oh, make it crow ans- a | wered the mail. ' "What will the next brother, the Lau- ? j rensviile Herald take?" came from the & head of the table. Turkey for mine with tl * ? * It .. ? ft oyster dressing, cut out an consommes ~ | and light truck, add a stoup of "silly-bub'' p ! with a ten penny in it, and a cup of black r i co?eo- ^ ! Greenville News, what will you have? Just plain crow, please, not too much, my appetite is rather "fractious". My medico tolls me that dark meat is most agree- ? able to my health just now. ? I "What shall I serve to the Charleston e Post," asked the host and toast master' s "Shall I make it turkey?" "Pleaae to ? slice me a piece of breast of crow" was ti the reply, "turkey is too rich for my a blood just now, I need something sedative ? and cooling for my constitution, I've oeen [j rather feverish for a spell. it The good old Spartanburg Journal and s? Herald with dignity unfolding their nap- ? kins spoke out simultaneously for crow! a "Give us crow" they said, "6ince is all the si go we want crbw! make it plain crow with no knick knacks, we do not often in- v; dulge but since the company calls for crow cu our appetites hsan that way too", J* The toast master and host began to look ^ serious. A "What will our good old friend The Re- & cord take, he next asked. The Record j* smiled and said, 'Til take a teenchy weenty piece of crow with a little turkey gravy please," and some one said that the Record ^ actually smacked his lips, which was of p course indecorous. n The State sat next. "To what shall I b serve you? asked the host, "oh, quit your ? klddln," said the State, "you know what I g want", give it to me straight, too, no fer- il belows nor flounces. "What part of the 0 fowl would you like?" askod the host. I'll ? take the gizzard and the parsons nose, g please". And the host hesitated. "What ^ r is the parsons nose", ho enquired. It was I: explained to the host that It was that part t df the lowi whicn got over tne rence last, and tho State was properly served. The host arose with a &erious gravity ? and remarked that the stpply of crow wait about exhausted, and asked if none would s take turkey, but all the board began to b? ? clamorous for crow. "Is it possible, asked the host, that all this big juicy turkey is to be left to me? j are there no others to divide with? This i - is a most unusual gathering of banquet- J ers that so few will eat turkey and so J [,j many are clamorous for crow". , And so they banqueted. Presently the 1 host proposed the toast "Who killed ' Featherstone". ' , d I.saidthe State, With my copper plate, I killed Featherstone. , ^ Who saw him die? j I, said Charleston >f With my "six to one" [ I saw him die. if Who caught his blood?

A winter cover crop is one of the most nportant factors in Southern farming, specially hill farming. A system of poor inning has so greatly exhausted the umus in the majority of the fields as to jake it well nigh impossible to prevent heir further depletion by the heavy rains f winter and early Spring, which carry ff much of the valuable elements left, on o the bottoms, and into the streams. Naure, always resourceful, has furnished ertain plants which may be used to retore the depleted soils. These winter over crops will hold our loose soils in lace, and where sufficient growth is obained, can be turned under to add humus 0 the soli. The sand hills and other loose oils can largely be prevented from leach1 g if heavy cover crops are turned under :>r a few years. This statement may be eritled by taking new land where the lant roots and vegetable mold afe still in or the same may be found in sod lnad rhere run to pasture for a series of years nd brought back into cultivation. No rashing occurs here even after the heavist rains. A good cover crop will not only revent washing and add humus to the oil, but if clovers or vetches are used here will be nitrogen collected from the Ir and stored in the soil during winter, s peas and beans do in Summer. The lants most suitable for cover crops are ye, vetch, crimson and bur clover. Conitions, of course, must determine which 0 use. RYE., Rye is one of the old standard winter over crops and has been used very extenIvely in some sections. It has the ad antage in tnat it is generally Known, is asily planted, will grow almost at any eason, will grow on the poorest soils, eed are usually cheap, and It does not equire extra care In the way of inoculalon as Is the case with the legumes. It an be sown In the middles of the corn or otton at last cultivation or if not conveniat to sow at this time it can be done a ttle later in the fall. When sown early ; gives a better cover for the soil and also jme good grazing for the stock. Where sacticable, however, as would be on the :>rn land, it is better to turn under stalks nd other growth and plant rye on good ged bed. It is also a good plan where le soil will grow it, to mix vetch with the pe, about 1 bushel of rye to 1-4 bushel of etch, using a bushel of the mixture per ere. It is better to drill seed, especially >V. nwn a/i (n tviAf aa??r> />/-* _ uuiu piauicu iu uiiuuico vjl lasiu ui wi)n. It is claimed that the variety known 9 Abriizzes, which was imported by the griculturai Department, is best suited to outh Carolina and adjacent States. There re other good native varieties which can e had at a fair price. OATS. Oats may be used instead of rye in many istances, and the same general rule for reparation, planting, and after treatlent, may be followed as for rye. 2 1-2 ushels and 1-4 bushels of vetch when ombined. Rust-proof oat seed gives the est results in nearly every part of the outh. Unless the lands are fairly good, ; will be necessary to fertilize the rye and at crop to get sufficient growth for the Qost valuable cover crop. Stable manure pplied broadcast at time of planting is ood for this, or the following per acre: 1 icid phosphate 150 pounds; cotton seed neal 150 pounds: and muriate of potash 30 >ounds, thoroughly mixed and applied at Ime of planting. CLOVERS AND VETCH. Until lands become more fertile and adipted to these crops, the best satisfaction vith them can be obtained only by making i good preparation and by giving some special care in seeding and Inoculating the toil. PREPARATION. Turn a few Inches deeper than it has )een previously plowed. If there is no ain, after this, before time of planting, a oiler should be run to firm the seed bed. Liiese erupts uu.ii u? buwn in uuui cum ?uu sotton middles where clean by scattering 3eed broadcast and running sweep or cultivator lightly to cover. Entire success, lowever, need not be looked for by this nethod of seeding, though some splendid results were reported from it last season, rhe corn lands can be put in fine condition by using a cut-away or disc harrow to sut stalks and turn top soil. Sow seed md cover with tooth harrow. FERTILIZERS. The clovers and vetch will need fertiizers to get satisfactory early growth. ?or this purpose stables manure stands lrst as it not only adds fertility but carries .he bacterial inoculation so essential on [oils first planted to these crops. An ap)lication at time of sowing of 300 pounds 6 per cent acid, 25 pounds muriate potash ind 75 pounds cotton seed meal or dried jlood per acre will be good.

When there happens to >e any acidity of the soil, airslacked lime kt the rate of 1,000 pounds per acre, should be applied at time of preparation. time for sowing. The best time for sowing crimson clover rbur clover is just as early in the fall as [anger of summer killing of young plants 8 past?not later than September first, 'etch can be sown much later, though the arlier planting does better. amount of seed. About 20 pounds of crimson clover seed ter acre should be used; 30 pounds bur lover in bur, or 15 pounds cleaned seed; 5 pounds vetch seea when sown with 1 >ushel oats which plan is always best if he soil iB good enough to allow it, 30 tounds if sown alone. Bur clover will be Oundtogrow better as a rule from the seed planted without hulling. The inocuating germ appears to be carried with the iur.

THE DEADLY MILK BOTTLE. . 1 Impure Milk Cause of Many Serious Diseases- , Washington, September 13.?Special: The United States Government has not i only gone into the business of issuing cook books, receipt books and other tracts containing useful information to the , housekeeper and housewife alike, but has also put some of its experts to work along other useful lines. Recently Geo. G. Whittaker, in charge of market milk in- 1 vestlgations; L. A. Rogers, bacteriologist, 1 in charge of research laboratories, and | Miss Caroline L. Hunt, expert in nutrition, t were assigned to the preparation of a i pamphlet directing the people of the United States how to get rid of the deadly ' milk bottle that for many years past has * adorned iront door steps in village, town and city. When Miss Hunt was seen to-day and asked to give a few suggestions concerning what people generally might do to rid their premises of the unsightly bottles, and at the same time reduce to a minimum the possibility of inviting typhoid fever cases, she told most interestingly of what she and her colleagues had been doing under the direction of Secretary Wilson. In the data that we have iust prepared," said Miss Hunt. "Mr. Whittaker shows that milk absorbs impurities, collects bacteria whenever it is exposed to the air or placed in unclean vessels. Some of these may be the bacteria of certain contagious diseases; others may cause di- | gestive troubles, which, in the case of babies, may prove fatal. Much of the cholera infantum and bowel troubles of Infants is due to impure milk. The amount of the contamination depends largely on the condition of the utensils and the air with which the milk comes in contact; the air of even a so-called clean room contains many impurities. The science of bacterio- ( logy is raising the standard of cleanliness J of utensils. Bacteria which get into the milk from the air or from the vessels 1 multiply rapidly so long as the milk re- ? mains warm. j "Is it true," Miss Hunt was asked, "that!1 you have found as many as a million bac-,8 teria from one fly from a milk bottle. } Miss Bunt replied, "And 100,000 fecal J bacteria have been found on a single fly. 1 Flies also frequently convey to milk large numbers of tne bacteria that cause in- J testinal disorders in infants. An exami- 1 nation of 414 flies showed an average of J 1,250,000 bacteria per fly." The leaflets soon to be gotten out by c the experts just mentioned will contain ' much wholesome advice to the suburban- T Ite and city dweller alike. They will tell {[ iusthow contamination may be avoided D by the proper handling of food products, r both in the field and in the home, and there is little doubt that if the sugges- ? iions made are heeded much benefit will e result.
