Some of these names are i'lus trious in national history as well as beloved and revered at home. There are eight of this number who died in office: John Ewing Cal houn, John Gaillard, John C. Cal houn, Franklin H. Elmore, Andrew 1\ llutler, Josiah J. Evans, Joseph H. Earle and Asbury C. Latimer. John Gaillard served longer than any other senator from this state, nearly 22 years continuously. Frank lin H. Elmore, who succeeded John C. Calhoun, served 23 years before his own death. Among those senators who also served the state as governor are Charles Pinckney, John Taylor, S. I). Miller, George McDuffie, J. H. Ham mond, Wade Hampton and 13. K. Till man. There were several senators who resigned. In the early days of the republic it seemed to be the proper tiling for a senator to resign before his term expired. Those who foni one cause or another resigned are Pierce Butler (twice), John Hunter, Charles Pinckney, Thomas Sumter, John Taylor, Robert Y. Hayne, Ste phen D. Miller, John C. Calhoun, D. K. Huger, William C. Preston, George McDuflle, R. B. Rhett, James Chest nut, Jr., and James H. Hammond. Some resigned to become governor. Mr. Calhoun resigned to become vice I president. The largest number of senators in any one year was in 1850. Calhoun died March 31, Elmore died May 20, Barnwell was appointed June 4, and was succeeded by Rhett December 18th. Judge A. P. Butler was the junior senator who was the contein porary of these senators in that year. There were from the beginning two senators. Pierce Butler was al lotted the four-year term and Ralph Izard the six year term. At the ex piration of the four-year term it toe became a six year term. This was in nriipr to keeD the two offices from being coterminal. Pierce Butler served seven years and resigned. Later he served two years and resigned again. William Smith served seven years. Later he served five years. John C. Calhoun served ten years and resigned. His successor, after two years' service, resigned and Calhoun was returned to his old seat, serving five years? until his death. These are the only cases of B^nators being returned af ter once retiring from the senate. Senator Tillman today occupies the seat once held by Pierce Butler and the late Senator Latimer succeeded tc the chair of Ralph Izard. Following is the list of senators who succeeded Pierce Butler: Butler's Successors Pierce Butler, service commencei March 4, 1789, re-elected 1703; re signed 1796.

As I was leaving a farmers' insti 1 tute meeting recently,?after having 1 urged strongly the need of more live stock, and especially beef cattle on the hilly farms of the farmers com {prising my audience?I heard one i i ?- Vi/i lrnanr nrhnt T ilariuei icuium mai U& uuvt. w_. . had said in the meeting was the truth, ; | but that he had only a hundred-acre : farm and the children needed all the ; | milk the cows he could keep would produce. Well, I remarked to myself that he was keeping a very small number of cows for the size of his farm or else he had an unusually large brood of children; for on a farm only a little more than twice the size of his we have maintained more than an average of 35 cows. I mistrust, however, his farm vra8 like thousands of other Piedmont farms in that only about one-fifth of the area of the place was in cultlva | tion and in reality he was working only about 20 acres, instead of 80 to 90 acres that he could be using were these extra acres cleared of j brush and briars. Were half these j waste acres cleared and well set in pasture grasses, they would afford grazing for more cattle than his 20 J cleared acres would produce winter feed for. This is a bint at what I think this farmer should be about during the coming winter, clearing his waste acres and getting in posi tion to make use of more of the cap ital he has invested in land. But yet, at present with his lim ited area there ought to be a way he could produce on his farm more milk than an ordinary-sized family could make use of and have a surplus with which to feed a few good calves. Of course, if he Is maintaining the or dinary scrub cow that produces about a gallon of milk per day, he need not expect to do much better than he is doing. But there are plenty of scrub cows in his county that will produce three or more gallons of milk per day if given good grazing; and were he to have six of such cows his fam ily would have to be a larger one than the writer would care to look after in order to consume more than one-half of the 18 gallons of milk j 1 nr?n ounnnsp that proauceu. men, juov ?Tt three of these cows would produce milk and butter euffteient for the needs of the family, what would there be to hinder this farmer rais ing six beef cattle per year on the milk of the other cows of the herd? Good scrub cows nursing two calves each will make of these good big husky calves by the time they are six months of age if given a little corn meal during the last three or four months of the nursing period; keep ing the calves in a 3mall pasture by themselves and bringing their dams to the calf lot at the same time the other cows are brought to the stable for milking. Or suppose all the cows > are milked, the milk run through a hand separator, and part of the sweet skim-milk fed to the calves, the bal ance set in the spring house to be kept cool for family use. Surely one of these ten or 11 chil dren could be induced to make it his , business to feed these six nice sleek calves four to five times per day dur ; ing the first month, then twice per J day for the remaining five months.

See th< This boy or girl could, I am sure after a little teaching, be dependec upon to scald the t,in buckets from which the calves drank their milk making every thing sweet and clear twice a day. And I believe, from mj own experience, that the boy or girl would really enjoy having the entire charge of the work and realizing thai the responsibility of the calf herd rested upon him. These calves fed in this way?were they sired by a first-class beef sire would make big strapping fellows by the time the first frost was seen down in the hollow In the fall and be worth at least $150 for feeders. They would need besides the milk and pasture a handful each per day of corn meal or cracked corn for the first three months of their lives, which amount should be increased to a pound per day each for the balance of the sum mer. This corn meal should be fed in a flat-bottomed trough about a foot in UiU A tnlifnn A Kfl AAtYl W iu III bU LUC uaivco trvuiu wv wui ipelled to eat slowly. The milk should always be fed at blood heat and always in clean tin buckets and the calves should not be overfed in the beginning, one and one-half quarts at a feed, four feeds per day, would be an abundance for the first two months, then a gallon per feed, two feeds per day, would bring them through the balance of the summer In good condition. The calves should have before them in I the pasture at all times a mixture of salt and tobacco dust or stems i in the proportion of one part of salt to four of the tobacco; this to guard against the danger of stomach worms. Many a boy or girl in the South would really enjoy a few min utes work of this sort each day and many dollars would be added to the farm increase each year, besides causing the land to grow fat. A.
