Oconco Funner Took "Wolf Uiver' Variety to Anderson. Anderson Mail, 15th.) The largest apples seen in Ander son this year were brought to the city Wednesday afternoon by a Mr. Phillips, of the Long Creek section of Oconee. He had about two bush els of these very largo apples, some of the select on. weighing as much as 20 ounces, and all were unusually large. This variety, the Wolf River, seems to be an unusual species In this part of the country and the own ers of tile apples stated there were only two trees of that kind in his home section. If these apples are the average, or slightly above the average, it would bo highly profitable for the apple growers in this section and ot lier sec tions of the State to raise this vari ety. Tile fruit ls excellently formed, the color ls a pale green with slight reddish streaks over lt. Tho apple mellows soon and has a very fine grain with a slightly acidulous taste. The tree ls a prolific bearer, having as many apples as the ordinary vari ety, while the fruit is much larger. PASSING OP THF BOOTJACK. Article That Once Was in General Cse is Now Hut Seldom Seen. Time was when there was at least one bootjack in every home, for in those days father and son wore boots, and when boots were wet or I tight a bootjack was a necessity. Then all of a sudden, some 50 years or thereabout ago, Hie great major ity of the men took to wearing I shoes. Then in many homes the bootjack passed out of use and out of sight and out of mind, says the New York Sun. There aro man;, people of the present generation who never saw a bootjack or even heard of one. And still there are sold at tile present day some bootjacks, for there are still some men who wear boots, either as their customary foot apparel or at times in pursuit of la bor or recreation. There are still some fine old gen- , Cemon who continue to wear lire calfskin boots. There are hundreds of thousands of farmers who still wear boots, but in the boots worn j by farmers there has been also a , groat revolution. Where once they all wore cowhide boots, now almost without exception they wear rubber boots, and If they buy the socks In- I tended to be worn willi them the! rubbor boots pull off easily and there is no need of a bootjack. The original bootjack was made of a strip of wood a foot or more In length by three or four Inches In width and an inch or so in thickness. You sawed out a deep notch in one end of this piece of wood, or you rounded out liiere a deep opening to put (lie heel of the boot into, and a little back ol* this notch you nailed across the under side ol' tho board al cleat to raise that end of tho boot-! jack off the lloor. Then you put one ; fool on thc bootjack at the end on the door and you put the other heel in ibo bootjack's jaw and you pulled in (hat fool to try to pull it out of [he hoot. Many a man and many j i boy bas had to do some right imart tugging to get his boots off, ?ven witli a bootjack.

Aug. 13.-Spe cial: Few dairymen In South Caro lina think of the cows In their herd as any Uli.lg but cows. They feed what they think the cow should have and take what milk she gives as a matter ol course. The modern dairy man regards his herd as a market to wilie li he carries his feed for sale, and he expects to get the full market value for his feed. Again, tho mod ern dairyman regards each cow in his herd as a special machine which must do certain work. Every loom in a cotton factory must work to its full capacity If the factory is to pay its owners a good dividend. Just so each cow in tile herd must be watched so as to see that she does her full duty, lt ls a very easy matter either to over-feed or under-feed a cow, and a groat many cows In South Carolina aro to-day being under-fed or over fed. The best way to study the herd is to put in every dairy barn a record sheet on which ls recorded every pound of food the cow is fed and every pound of milk she gives in re turn. A good rule to follow is to give a cow one pound of grain .'or every three pound.; of milk. There are times when this rule is n.it liest, but lt can be taken as an average. Some will say that it is too much trouble to keep a daily record. To these we say keep the record for two days each week. This is far bolter than no record nt all. At thc end ol' the year the dairyman who has kepi records for the ilrst time will have many surprises, Ho will lind thal what he thought were some of his best cows did not pay him near so well as some which he tbought not so good. Ile will find that some of his bord have been kept at a loss, while others have just paid for their keep. As examples, herds in this State will be used. Herd No. 1 was kept at a profit of $12 1 per cow. while herd No. 2 was kept, at a profit of $17 per cow. In another herd tho best cow gave 250 more pounds of butter In one year than the poorest cow, and at a cost of only $S more for feed. These Illustrations simply prove that unless the dairyman knows what he gives his cows and what his cows give him, he Is runinng a very un certain business, and tho milk scales and record sheet give a ver/ Hand some return for the trouble lt takes to keep a record.

Moorestown, N. J., Aug. 17.-The picturo of robust health, Ellis Ken sler, superintendent of tho David Roberts dalry farm, the man tho lo cal and State health experts declare is tho "typhoid carrier" who has spread the epidemic that bas Moores town and Its vicinity in Its clutches, with a fresh outbreak of ino disease In four prominent families to-day, told this afternoon of his fight to make his the model dalry of Dur llngton county. As Kensler related how fate had played him a cruel prank by making that same dalry a hotbed for typhoid Infection, farm hands were emptying 1G0 quarts of milk condenmned as infected by the health authorities. "1 don't know whether the asser tion of the board of health that I spread typhoid germs is true or not," said Kensler. "They probably know what, they are talking about. It has been my ambition to make this tho best dairy in the country. "'"I have done everything possiblo to keep my catt lo healthy, dalry clean and the surroundings sanitary. The water we use in washing the milk cans is far more pure than that supplied to Moorestown residents, ac cording to the board's own testi mony." lt was while working around tho dalry, directing and occasionally helping his men milk the twenty-six cows, that Kensler, unconsciously ill with typhoid, inoculated tho milk with the bacilli, say the health au thorities. Kensler said to-day ho could re member feeling "half sick" two days, but supposed he had a cold and did not call a doctor. About this time he was in the dalry more than usual. Mis splendid care of the Roberts dalry was known in .Moorestown and brought the dealer who sold his milk the best trade in the community. A majority of the typhoid cases have developed in what is locally known as the "millionaire colony." Refuses to 'Pake Vacation. Kensler almost*wept when he said his plight might rob him of his cus tomers. A few minutes before he had refused thc offer of a vacation from his employer, David Roberts, whose" own son Is Ul at his home here after drinking the milk. Mr. Roberts thought Kensler should have a rest and a change to recuperate. "I feel tiptop," said the young su perintendent. "I'm too busy looking after the farm, and this is no time for a farmer to take a vacation. Thanks just the same." Tlie new cases to-day spread fresh alarm among the citizens and result ed In an order from tho health board that all milk sold must first be sterilized. Many patients are being removed to hospitals in Philadelphia, ('amden and Mount Holly, as the health authorities say each case is likely to become a source of Infec tion unless under proper care. Tho new cases are practically under quar ti nt ino. A. S.
