DAIRY HINTS BULL ASSOCIATIONS HELPFUL Acted as Wedge to Stimulate Dairy Interest and Promote Better Methods in South. <Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) An example of how bull associ ations, organized through the help of the United States Department of Ag riculture, act as a wedge to stimulate ?dalry interest and promote better dairy methods ia a community is il lustrated by the work which has been done In Spartanburg county, S. C. Five years ago little dairying was done in this county, according to dairymen of the department, but now the Industry is making rapid progress and up-to-date methods are being prac ticed largely as a result of the organ ization of a bull association. Tho interest io- dairying dates from the beginning of the purebred bull movement In the vicinity of Carapobel lo In 1916. At that time a breeder, in The Best Way to Improve a Dairy Herd Is by the introduction of a Purebred Sire. .the hope of starting an Interest In bet ter stock and creating a demand for tis animals, presented a purebred bull to the community. Little Interest was taken, and the gift was accepted with reluctance. The community was made np pf small farms and there were few .cows. Following this a dairymen's picnic and exhibition of iive stock was held, and MS a result of extension work car ried on by the dairy division of the depariment In co-operation with Clem son Agricultural college more people became Interested and bought cows. Zn 1917 a co-operative bull association was organized, from which developed a live stock- show, and the members of the association developed a keen Inter ?est in comparing the dairy animals they raised. Another show was held In 1920, at which prizes, offered by merchants and bankers consisting of cash, merchan dise, and savings accounts were awarded. One of the features of the show was a program of short talks on local problems by the county agent, leading farmers, and representatives of the commercial club and the State hersey Breeders' association. As an indication of the Interest that was ?aroused those attending the show voted unanimously to hold a commu nity fair next fall, to include not only dalry stock but other agricultural products. SPRAY TO KEEP FLIES AWAY Beat Time to Apply Repellent Is In Morn?ng After Milking or Early In Afternoon. To keep cows quiet and contented they should be sprayed to keep flies off. A good time to spray is after milking in the morning and before milking time in the afternoon. With a portable cart, made from a half barrel by attaching wheels and a spray pump and nozzle, two men can spray 40 cows in five minutes. "Thirty gallons of mixture will spray 40 cows twice a day for 10 days. Formula: 4% quarts coal tar dip, 4% quarts fish oil, 3 quarts coal oil, '3 quarts whale oil and 1% quarts oil of tar. Dissolve 3 pounds laundry soap In water, add the above Ingredl -ents and bring the whole up to 30 gallons with lukewarm soft water. PUREBREDS REPLACE SCRUBS Nothing but Registered Sires Being Used at the Louisiana State ; Normal School. ""Within the past ten days we have .sold to the butcher rive scrub cows. We are now keeping only high grades and . purebreds." With this explanation an oflicial of the Louisiana State Normal school in Natchitoches parish en rolled In the "Better Sires. Better Snook" movement conducted by ihe United States Department of Agricul ture-and the various states. All the ?live .crock nn the school farm, which /includes cattle, swine and poultry, ?are being bred only to purebred sires.

A New Experience. The writer returned from Sumter to Columbia on Sunday night, Aug ust 14. It had been a beautiful Lord's Day filled with the sweetest memories and spent in company with some of thebest of people. We doubt if America contains ?ny bet ter people than those who were with us in the morning and evening ser vices of that good day. The train from Sumter to Colum I bia leaves Sumter about 9:30 o'clock and reaches Columbia about 11:00 ?o'clock. A few miles out from Co lumbia the train was suddenly stop ped. Soon a stream of men, partly masked, came pouring through the coach looking to the right nnd left Handkerchiefs were tied over their faces just below the eyes. Their hats were pulled down completely over their foreheads. All of them were armed with pistols. The writer look- j ed tc? his left, and saw that a num ?ber of men were outside the car, 'similarly disguised, walking to and fro, heavily armed with guns and something like five or ten minutes some one cried out that "They are not on here" and our train was al lowed to move on. Upon inquiry I j learned that it was a mob or part of one that had been circulating S. C. and Ga. for some days and that it had stopped the train to search for two prisoners who were supposed to be aboard. This writer does not remember ever to have had an experience in South Carolina that was so distress ing. Personally there was nothing to I fear. But the sight of an armed mob on a Sunday night, trampling on the I law of the State, and doing so with utter impunity, searching for men upon whom they might wreak their j vengeance, was a first hand revel- j ation of an element in our society that in' some degrees removed from those the waiter had been with all day. We have in South Carolina two classes that are about as far apart as the poles. Perhaps every civilized country has these same two classes. But in some civilized countries the better class is doing the ruling. In South Carolina the better class is not; and if one is to judge from recent incidents, the better class is afraid to tackle the lower fellows of the baser sort.-Baptist Courier. A Catholic Country. We have all been reading of Aus-, tria. Perhaps its condition is the mo3t pitiable of any country in Eu rope. No other country is in quite such desperate straits, unless it be Russia: and it is doubtful if Russia is in much worse state than this an cient seat of the most devoted Cath olicism. Austria is reduced to about one third of its former size. It has lost its mineral lands, its outlet to the sea, and all of its associated provin ces which supplied it with raw ma terial. It was always a distributing point to the countries around it. And these, even those that were former ly a part of the same kingdom, have erected tariff walls that interfere with Austria's trade. The country with Austria's trade. The ?ountry does not make enough of any of the necessities of life for its own people. It cannot get raw material for its factories, and it cannot get the goods that it makes into other lands. For generations it has had great pro fessional and educated classes and these, are now perhaps the most hopeless of its citizens. They have no openings for the things that they can do and are unfitted for the man ual labors that might be possible for them. Austria's debt is so great that it cannot borrow any money to pur chase raw material, and its currency has sunk almost to nothing. It is in a pitiable condition beyond all des cription. Dejection has settled down on all classes and they walk in Egypt ian darkness. Such is the condition of the land that was for generations, and until five or six years ago, the greatest Catholic state in the world, the coun try that was most subserviently de voted to the Pope and to his inter ests, and that gave Catholicism an unquestioned acceptance. We do not know what has brought Austria to this condition. But it is a fact that it has reaped what every other country has reaped that has been devoted and loyal to the Pope. Spain sunk almost as low and had national losses greater. Mexico and South American countries are other instances to be cited; and last, and perhaps least, Ireland, the one sec-| tion.of the vast and prosperous Em pire of Great Brittain that holds ] unswervingly to the Catholic faith, ? has passed through tribulations al- ] most as great as those of Austria. < It might be said that these calam ities have not come because of Ca tholicism. But it is a fact, which can hardly be denied, that where Cathol icism reigns long enough, these are samples of its unvarying national products.-Baptist Courier. NOTICE! Concordia Lodge No. 50, A. F.
