DAIRY I POINTS BUTTER SHIPPED IN SUMMER Parcel Post Will Prove Entirely Satis factory if Proper Condition? Are Maintained. (Prepared by the United States Depart* ment ol Agriculture.) Parcel post shipments of butter are likely to be subjected to conditions, especially during the summer, which may cause deterioration and Injure the' quality of the butter. It Is highly de sirable, say specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture, that every possible precaution be tak en before shipment Particularly is this true of farm-made butter, because conditions affecting its quality and condition usually cannot be controlled as easily as in creameries. Farm made butter, however, should be mar keted Just as satisfactorily as cream ery-made butter when it Is properly made and prepared for shipment . It is necessary to maintain proper conditions ?n the care of the milk and Several Thicknesses of Old Newspa per Should Be Wrapped Around the Butter Before Inclosing lt in the Shipping Package. cream and the making of butter If a marketable product is to be produced. Too much importance, it is said, can not be given to maintaining cleanly conditions in the stable and ta other places where the milk, cream, or but ter are produced or kept for they ab sorb odors and spoil very quickly. It Is Important too, that these products be kept In a cool place. High temper atures should always be avoided, as they produce a soft olly condition of thj butter which ls undesirable. In manufacturing butter on the farm or ta a factory the buttermilk must be removed and washed out aod the proper amount of salt must be Incor porated evenly. Frequently parcel post shipments ol' farm butter are un satisfactory to customers because proper methods were not used ta mak ing It and the qufdity and condition of the butter thereby Injured before It was shipped. Foi: the satisfaction of customers lt is Important that a uni form quality of batter be produced. Methods used In preparing butter for parcel post shipping depend large ly upon the local conditions and style of package used. To insure delivery In the best possible state, butter, after being packed, printed and placed ta cartons, should be chilled or hardened thoroughly before lt Is shipped. One of the most satisfactory ways of preparing butter for shipment Is in regular one-pound prints, the stand ard print measuring 2% by 2% by 4% Inches. Every pound print should be neatly wrapped in regular butter parchment or paper. A second thick ness of such paper has been found to add materially to the carrying possi bility of the butter. Waxed paper may be used for the second wrapping. As a further protection to the print, lt should be placed In heavy manila paraffin cartons, which may be ob tained from folding paper-box com panies, either plain or printed as a stock carton or with a special private brand. Corrugated fiber-board shipping con tainers of various, sizes may be ob tained for 8hippTng one-pound prints of butter. These boxes or containers practically Insulate the butter and fur nish much protection against heat Further protection may be obtained by wrapping the container in stout wrap ping paper. The whole should be tied securely with a strong cord. In tying the twine lt should be drawn tightly around the package so as to Insure Its proper carriage. Some persons ship butter by parcel post ta Improvised^ home-made con tainers. Clean, discarded, corrugated paperboard cartons are obtained from the grocer or other merchant at small cost or frequently without any cost at aU. It le possible to cut a piece of paper board ta such shape and size that when lt is folded It will form a satisfactory carton. LIKE FEEDING COWS IN DARK Wisconsin Farmer Praises Cow-Test* lng Association as G ir de-Board to Better Dairying. ..When I bought my farm two years ago there was a herd of scrub cows on it," writes a Wisconsin farmer to e field agent of ihe dairy division.

"I Joined the cow-testing associ ation, and soon found that my .scrub cows were a failure, so I disposed of them and bought Home purebred* and grade Holstein cows.

Trying io ff??<l without records of your cows Is like feeding ta the dark." o -?-o The Things of God and Things of Men By REV. JOHN C. PAGE Teacher o? Bible Doctrine, Moody Bible Institute. Chicago. TEXT.-But he turned and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me. Satan; thou art an offense unto me; for thou savor est not the things that be or God, but thew that be of men.-Matt 16:23. The latter part of thia chapter brings into prominence the person, passion and pros pect of the Son of Man. The words of Peter In verse 16 bring into clear view his person aa "the Christ, tho Son of the living God." His passion is described In verse 21. He must go to Jerusalem and be killed and be raised again. The prospect is presented in verse 27. "The Son o? man shall come In the glory of his Father with his angels." To deviate from any of these three truths is to descend from the level of "the thing! that be of God" to the plane of "the those that be of men." Peter ignorantly opposed the second of these essential truths and received the rebuke recorded in verse 23. "Get thee behind me, Satan, for thou art an offence unto me; for thou savour est not the things that be of God, bul those that be of men". From the viewpoint of the purely human-"the things that be of men," the suggestion of Peter carries nothing with lt to meet so severe a rebuke as the Lord administered to him. "Pity thyself or "Be lt far from thee" la the Impulsive expression of self-in terest and self preservation, both the Master's and his own. It ls altogether I in harmony with "the things that be of men." But as It ls written, "My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord, for as? the heavens are high above the earth so are my ways above your ways and my thoughts above your thoughts." "The things that be of men," even religious things, are expressed In terms of self Interest. "Pity thyself said Peter, "Get thee behind me," replied Jesus, "thou art an offence unto me." Then said Jesus unto His disciples, "If any man will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me." The things that be of God are best learned at Calvary. In Its message, death and resurrection are the domi nant notes. "The Son of man must go to Jerusalem and be killed and be raised again." If any man will follow Him, he must go the same way, the way of the cross and the tomb and the resurrection morning. "If a grain of wheat fall Into the ground and die, It bringeth forth much fruit." Apart from death there can be no resurreo tlon Into "newness of life." No man can realize the best until he has let himself go. Human nature shrinks from this. It ls the acknowl edgment of failure, the confession of the inability of self, and also of re liance upon Another. In "the things that be of men," a large place ls given to mottoes, laws, standards, Ideals, symphonies and so forth, but "the things that be of God" belong to a different realm. "If any man will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me." The first meaning of the cross ls death. The cross crosses us out so that Another may occupy the place formerly occupied by self. This is the denial of self, a different matter from self-denial which Is practiced during Lent or on other occasions, and which fits easily Into the things of men. To be a Christian Is not a weak sen timental sort of a thing; It Is real, vital, fundamental. It Involves a | change of outlook and a new concep tion of life. I The cross of Christ was inevitable to Him because of His Identity with os. He must go to Jerusalem and die. The merited goal of the human race is death In all its Implications. The Son of God became the Lamb of God that He might put away sin and overcome death. By faith we may behold Him bearing our sins in His own body on the cross and there put ting them away forever. But more than that He ls In His death and resurrection, the forerunner of a great multitude which no man can number, who have taken the same view of life as He did. They have taken up the eros? and followed Him. In them. God bas made the death and resurrection life of Christ so real and effective that they can assert with Paul, "I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I but Christ liveth Jn me." Tills ls a supernatural work wrought in the soul by the power of God. Until this miracle is per formed the genius of the Christian re ligion cannot be understood, Christian experience cannot be satisfactory, no* can a Christian theology or philos ophy be built up.

Cl BL Newbolt The Old Clock Maker Bj DOROTHY WHITCOMB J .??, 1921, Western Newspaper Union.) . The old clockmaker was seated In his office, his head upon his hands, his elbows on his desk, pondering. He oc cupied a tiny office in an old-fashioned part of New York, downtown, and he sat there for a great part of each day since he came to America fifty years before, bringing with him the skill of twelve generations of Swiss clock makers. Walser's clocks never varied by more than five minutes a year, ?reat, old-fashioned grandfather's clocks they were, and because the modern fashion ls for cheap und gaudy things, he sold only to a few old-fash ioned customers, and his whole stock was stored In the small warehouse and workshop at the back of his office. And he had driven Ernst, his only son, his* only child, out of his home forever. Ernst was the last of the Walsers, and with his action he had effectively cut himself off from all the generations that were to come. How foolish his quarrel had been! It was about a girl whom Ernst wanted to marry, and because he had not told his father all about it old Walser had taken umbrage. "Who is she?" he asked angrily. And Ernst answered that she was a domestic servant. Then the old man's anger flared out, for the Walsers traced their descent from princes and Walser had mixed so little with his kind that the old Uadltlons lingered. Old Walser turned to hie son. He pointed to an old clock which had ticked away the hours minute by minute ever since he had brought it. to America. "Ernst," . he said hoarsely, "that ' clock was made by my father for his serene highness the prince of Lutter* ling. My father was once engaged to marry the prince's daughter. She died, but the match was never considered unequal. The Walsers have been a proud old family, though they are clockmakers. And you-you-you are going to marry a servant "Well, marry her, but from this mo ment you are no longer a Walser. I disown you by the memory of my father." He pointed still to the time piece. "When that clock, which my father made in 1833, goes wrong by as much as ten minutes In a day, I will ask you to come back to me," he sold. "Now gol" And Ernst went The old clock never varied by as much as a minute a day. Its meian* choiy tick was wearing the old man's heart away. He moaned in his misery as he sat at his desk. How gladly he would have had his son back, servant wife and all I If only he had not been so hasty! A good boy, too-Ernst had always been a good son to him.. He swept his fingers across the glass, abd the* clock ticked heavily In answer. And then a wonderful thing hap pened. A sudden whirring sound was heard, and the hands began racing furiously. And then they stopped and the old clock stood still at half past four. That was the precise time at which Ernst put on his hat and left the house. The old man fell back In his chair and stared in astonishment at this phenomenon. Presently, when curiosity overcame his terror, he opened the case and peered In. And swiftly enough the cause was revealed. Wedged tightly Into the mechanism was a clockwork mouse. Walser drew out the mouse and looked at It Years before he had brought that mouse home for his son Ernst, in the days when he was a baby, playing about the floor of the nursery. The child must have placed his toy Inside the old clock and forgotten all about it Walser rose up solemnly and put on his hat He turned to the clock and his voice was choking with emotion. ."I know now," he said, "that this ls a judgment and a miracle in one." Ten minutes later he arrived at a dingy, shabby house, and made his way up to the top floor and knocked. A comely young woman came to the door. "You are-?" queried Walser. "I am Mrs. Walser," she answered tn a very sweet voice. "You have business with my husband?" "You are my son's wife?" shouted the old man. "Why, I thought-I thought-" And suddenly he flung his arms about her and drew her to him and kissed her. And at the audible sound Ernst came to the door, looking shab by and thin, but with fire In his eye and fists doubled to repel this assault upon the sanctity of his home. See ing his father he halted dead. "Come here, my boy," cried the old man. "It's all forgotten-the clock ran down.

Some readers of the wording of the old land grant from King George HI,-to one Nicholas Mickler .in 1771 for certain lands, "two hundred acres situated on Horse Pen creek and the waters of Cuffee Town in Colleton county" etc., as printed in Tuesday'3 Index-Journal, may have been a bit puzzled over the location "Colleton county. That Kirksey and this section of the state were ever in "Colleton county" probably is not generally known. Por some years after the establish ment of the colony of South Caro lina there were no counties. It was simply "a colony." But in 1682 the proprietors order ed that the colony bedivided into three counties, Berkeley which in cluded Charleston; Craven county to the north of what is now the eastern part of the state; and Colleton coun ty which included all south of Ber keley county, or what is now the wes tern part of the state. These three counties, however, at that time, were to extend only thirty-five miles in land. It was doubtless intended to la ter add other counties, after the di visions in England. But for years af ter, evidently for almost a hundred ?years after, the colony was consider ed in England as having only the 'three counties, Craven, Berkeley and Colleton. This explains how in this old grant from King George land in what is now the Kirksey section of this county was described as "situated on Horse Pen creek in Colleton county." Dr. Wm. A Schaper, in his mono graph on "Sectionalism in South Car olina," a thesis which won for him the Justin Windsor prize offered by the American Historical Association, says of these first three counties: "These divisions were called counties but their organization was hardly that pf the county. There was a high sher iff for each. but there was there only one county court with ju risdiction ' over the entire colony. It held all its sessions at Charleston." From this condition arose the discon tent in the upper section of the colo ny over representation in the Assem bly and that led to the creation of further counties, this and the need for officers to keep the peace. In 1769 a bill was passed by the Assembly creating seven districts in stead of counties These districts were Charleston, Georgetown, Beau fort, Cheraw, Ninety Six, Camden and Orangeburg. A sheriff was to be appointed f:r each district. Court was t? be he'.d semi-annually by four .circu?: judges at each court house. ^The courts however had only limit ed jurisdiction. The court house for Ninety Six district was located at what afterward became the village of Cambridge. By 1790 two other districts had been added, Washington which em braced what is now Pickens and Oco nee counties and part of what is now Greenville; and Pinckney which in cluded what is now Spartanburg, Un ion, Cherokee. York, Chester and Lancaster. Old Ninety Six district has since yielded Abbeville, Laurens, Edgefield, Newberry, Greenwood, McCormick, parts of Anderson, Lexington and Aiken.-Greenwood Index-Journal.

Follow this Edge field resident's example. Mrs. Addie Turner, 815 Cedar Row, says: "I often went to bed with a terrible pain across my kidneys and woke up next morning feeling just as bad. I was more tired mornings than when I went to bed the night before. The misery in my back tired me out easily and I could hardly finish my housework. Sharp catches caught me in my kidneys and I often thought I wouldn't be able to straighten after bending. I had dizzy spells and specks danced before my eyes. My kidneys acted irregularly and I used Doan's Kidney Pills. Doan's entire ly cured me of the trouble and I haven't had a return of it." 60c at all dealers. F?ster-Milburn Co'., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y.
