Because of the very serious short age of labor for farm work and the high wages for even the most indif ferent {character of farm laborers obtainable, improved implements, machinery, and every character of mechanical help that will enable the farmer to accomplish desired results with as little human labor as possible, becomes actually the pressing necessity. . In breaking and cultivating, the tractor, with such implements as can be practically used in connec tion with it, is doing much to solve the problems on farms of over one huiidrt-d acres, and even on smaller acreage, where conditions are right. The motor truck anet automobile probably have done as much or more to multiply man power than anything else. Where ordinary, or very inein cient laborers are being paid from two to as high as three dollars per day, "speed" becomes the greatest economical factor in securing maxi mum results from the least man power. But few farms, owned or rented, are without one or more automo biles, and many now have trucks doing heavy hauling where the roads permit of their economical use. The automobile on the farm per forms at least ninety per cent for business purposes as against ten per cent for pleasure and recrea tion. A fuli supply of motor vehicles and gasoline at prices that we can afford to pay, is today the farmer's most important equipment. Scarcity and forbidable prices will seriously handicap production. -Farm and Ranch. Polling Places and Managers for the Primary Election of the Democratic Party of Edgefield County for the Year 1918.

(Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) National necessity during the war re quires the greatest economy In the feeding of grain to live stock. Human beings must be fed first, yet milk pro duction must be maintained. That does not mean that our dairy cows should be starved or even that they should be required to live on half ra tions. This is the very time they should be fed, and well fed, in order to main tain sufficient supplies of dairy prod ucts for our own armies and the armies of our allies, and still have enough for our civilian population. In order to feed the dairy herds well, with the min imum of grain, substitutes must be fur nished for at least part of the grain. With a good pasture during the entire summer and with rich corn silage and first-class legume hay for winter feed ing, good dairy cows will yield a heavy flow of milk at a minimum ofiost Clover, alfalfa, cowpea, soy bean, velvet bean or other legume hay, when fed with good silage, will maintain a'me-. dium production of milk at a relatively low cost. Under ordinary farm condi tions it is not to be expected that legume hay will take the place of the entire grain ration, but if it is substi tuted in part, large quantities of grain will be released for human food. The first step in bringing this condi tion about must be the planting of more legumes, and the sooner it is done the better it will be for the individual dairyman, as well as for his state and nation. Every dairy farm should pro duce, when possible, at least one ton of legume hay for each cow on the place. s^jjjp Fruits and green vegetables are canned so as to supply succulent and palatable foods for the family during the winter. Succulence is jdst as es sential to cows as to a human being. The abundant milk flow obtained from June pasturage probably is due, to a large extent, to the succulence of the irrass. Silase provides succulent feed during winter when pasturage is not available. With silage in the ration, dairy cattle can be kept in the condi tion of health common to animals on pasture. The digestive system of a cow is well suited for the utilization of large quantities of green grasses and other coarse, succulent material. Silage is palatable, and no other feed will combine so well with dry hay and a little grain to produce maximum-eco nomical results. - The preservation of the mature corn crop or the saving of one which for! any reason must be harvested before maturity by placing it in silos is de servedly increasing in popularity. About 40 per cent of the total food ma terial in the corn plant is in the stalks and lentos. When only the ears are ? harvested nearly one-half of the crop is lost; on the other hand, when the crop is put into the silo the losses are | very small. No feed crops can be so successfully harvested under such widely varying conditions as those that are put into the silo. Only in case of drought or frost is it necessary to rush the filling of the silo ; rain or dew on the forage does not injure the silage. PREPARE PASTURE FOR COWS Goad Feeding and Protection From Storms Are of Utmost Importance -Cool Milk Quickly. 0?repared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Nothing is gained by turning dalry cows into stalk fields or on to pasture during the early spring months. Pro tection from storms and good feeding are of the utmost importance if the cows are to be kept from losing flesh or from falling off in milk. Much damage will be done also to pastures if they are tramped and cut up while they are wet and before the grasses have gotten well started. A small patch of sorghum should be planted in a rich spot near the barn or pasture as n safeguard against a shortage of pasture in the early sum The War Has Brought About a Great Demand for Better Dairy Cattle. mer, due to drought. Plan to plant a large enough acreage of conn or sor ghum to fill a silo. If planted, early the silo can be filled early, In readiness for use during the early fall, when the pasture may be short. Now that the warm days are here every farm should arrange so that milk can be cooled as soon as drawn from the cow, unless the cream is to be separated with a separator. Cream, as soon as separated or skimmed, should be cooled and kept cool until churned. Quick cooling of the milk Insures more rapid and more com plete .rie'.ng of the cream. Cream kept properly cooled remains sweet and produces a better grade of butter.

Ringgold, Ga.- Mrs. Chas. Gaston; of this place, writes: "I am a user of Thedford's Black-Draught; in fact, it was one of our family medicines. Also In my mother's home, when I was a child. When, any of us child ren complained of headache, usually caused by constipation, she gave ns a dose of Black-Draught, which would rectify the trouble. Often in the Spring, we would have malaria and chills, or troubles of this kind, we would take Black-Draught pretty reg ular until the liver acted well, and we would soon be up and around again. We would not be without It, for ft certainly has Baved us lots of doctor billa. Just a dose of Black Draught when not so well saves a lot of days in bed." Thedford's Black-Draught has been in use for many years in the treat ment of stomach, liver and bowel troubles, and the popularity which it now enjoys Is proof of Its merit. If your liver is not doing its ?atjr, you will suffer from such disagree able symptoms as headache, bilious ness, constipation, indigestion, eta, and unless something is done, serious trouble may result Thedford's Black-Draught has been found a valuable remedy for these troubles. It is purely .vegetable, and acts in a prompt and natural way, regulating the liver to its proper functions and cleansing the bowels of impurities. Try it.
