SEVEff COUNTIES VOTE LIQUOR. Other Four of Eleven Voting Went Against Legalizing Its Sale. Of eleven South Carolina counties which last week held elections to de termine whether liquor should be le gally sold within their borders, seven voted for the county dispen sary system and four elected to re main dry. In two instances the vote was so close that the official tabula tion will be necessary certainly to establish the result. In nearly all the others the margin of victory was very small. On the face of the re turns Florence and Jasper have re tained the dispensary system, while Bamberg, Barnwell, Dorchester, Cal houn and Orangeburg have voted to return to the sale of liquor by the county. Abbeville. Lexington, Wil liamsburg and Sumter voted to re main In the dry ranks. Of the counties which went dry Abbeville was the only one giving a decided majority, the (anti-dispen sary forces In that county piling up a majority of 558 against the sale of liquor. In the other counties which went dry the vote was very close, Lexington leading in this respect with a majority of four against the sale of liquor. Williamsburg with 14 and Sumter with 12 also,seemed almost evenly divided. Of the wet counties Barnwell, with 604 majority, and Dorchester, with 337, were the most decided, and Or angeburg with a majority of three for the dispensary was tito most evenly divided. The majorities for the dispensary in other counties were: Bamberg 180, Calhoun 82, Florence GI and Jasper 38. If offlcial returns bear out the un official figures, South Carolina will have twelve dispensary counties, as follows: Charleston, Richland, Flor ence, Georgetown, Beaufort, Aiken, Dorchester, Calhoun, Jasper, Barn well, Bamberg and Orangeburg.

Local committees at each of the 60 points on the railroad will arrange for five to ten automobiles to carry the speakers in all directions into tho coun try to farm homes, Behool houses and inland towns within a radius of from four to ton m lieu, where alfalfa lec tures will be given. During th? campaign ovor 600 al falfa lectures will be delivered by the party to as many audiences, and from 600 to 700 automobiles will be brought into tho service of this great educational movement. These campaigns are conducted on a strictly co-operative basis. The peoplo will provide: 1st. A guarantee of at least five to ten automobiles at each railroad stop to carry the speakers to the points in the country where meetings are to be held. 2nd.

Of the entire alfalfa plant, accord ing to Kansas bulletin 166, the stalk comprises 60 per cent, and the leaf 40 per cent., whereas the quantity of the protein in the Btalk is only 40 per cent., while the protein in the leaf ia 60 per cent. Moreover only 20 per cent, of the fat is to be found In the stalk, while 80 per cent, ls in the leaf It is, therefore, very Important that alfalfa be harvested at the proper time, and carefully handled so that all the leaves will be saved. When possible to do so lt il best to cut alfalfa late in the afternoon or evening. Dew or raia on the freshly cut alfalfa will not Injure IL Where a tedder ls used, lt should be started In the morning as soon as most of the dew ls off and before there ls any dan ger of knocking off the leaves.

Excels every other crop In yield per acre In feeding value As a drouth resister As a soil enricher. 4. No harder to grow than clover. 5. Make a beginning-start now grow some alfalfa. Repeated experiments made by the agricultural colleges, and the results obtained by the actual growers of al falfa in the semi-arid avctlons of the weat, throughout the corn belt states, and In the south and east, are conclu sive evidence of the great value of alfalfa. There are few farmers whose profits -?ould not be increased greatly by rats Lag alfalfa. Every farmer should aim to produce, as far as possible, his jfoodstuffs upon his own farm, i During the last few years, the area devoted to alfalfa has greatly In creased in the region west of the Mis souri river, and it ls certain that there will be an equally rapid In crease throughout the eastern and southern parta of the United States. ?tony of the attempts In the past to grow alfalfa In the humid regions have failed, but with our present knowledge of the requirement* of the . orop thor? will bs little, if an*, more I trouble In securing a ??.and.

The deep rooting habit of alfalfa enables it to resist drouth when clover, tim othy, blue gras? and other forage grasses die for want of moisture. Al falfa roots grow deep into the soil far beyond the roots of other plants. Its drouth resisting power ie of no greater importance than Its great value as a soil enricher. The long roots bring phosphorus, potash and other plant foods from below and store them in the upper soil for the use of other plants. Experiments show greatly Increased yieldi of other crops grown upon alfalfa sod Alfalfa ls rich In protein the most essential element In f*ed to make bone, blood and muscle ia growing ani mals. Why We Need Alfalfa. There ls no combination of feeds so economical for the production of beef, perk, mutton, butter and eggs, as com and alfalfa. Neither will give tba beet results alone. W? ?o?? aiiai fa because lt balances up the corn ration and saves the large waste of .taren which always takes place where corn is fed alone. We need alfalfa because we can by means of it grow on our own farms the protein more profitably than we can buy lt in feed stuffs. We need alfalfa because lt feeds the soil and enables us to grow larger crops of >.om and oats. We need alfalfa becauoe lt produces on an average double the feed value per acre of clover or any other forage crop. Advisable to Inoculate. In regions where alfalfa has not been grown lt ls found to be neces sary to inoculate the ground by oow ing three or four bags of sell secured from a field where alfalfa or sweet clover has been grown for a nu.nber of years; or where lt ls more convenient, artificial cul ture, such as "nttragin," "far m? ge na," etc., may bc applied. Where alfalfa bas not been frown before lt may make the difference between suc cess and failure. Alfalfa Essentials. A well propared, firm, solid seed bed, plenty of good barnyard manure, and fallow to kill the weeds, are most Important. Lime? Yes, one to two ?loads per acre, and by all means In oculate. Ground too wet for corn ls not suited for alfalfa. [ Make a Beginning-Atari Now. Every farmer should try at least a small pioco of alfalfa and if he does not succeed at first, try again and keep on trying until he does succeed. It is worth the while. 4 If 'the work Is thoroughly done and at the proper time, you will most cer tainly succeed In securing a good ?stand; If the work ls half done and out of season, you will just as cer tainly fall. Make a begining-?tart now. h. / Watch Your Bi These LITTLES STOMACHS ORT OUT OF URDLU KA SI LY IN HOT WKATHRIL During tlie hot months mothers should look very carefully to the con dition of the bowels o? babieB and young children, and, for that matter, it is very important in th?- lives of peo pie at all ages. Care should be taken thai the water is pure, the milk wholesome and the fruit ri|>e (though not over-ripe), and that not too much of anything is eaten. When trouble results it is usually in the form of constipation or of diarrhoea. If the child loses appe tite, is fretful or languid, and com plains of headache, you may look for constipation. Give it a small dose of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin at night on retiring, and by morning this pleasant laxative will have acted and the child will be its normal self again. At thc first sign of a summer cold also gi ? Syrup Pepsin, as the clean ing out of the bowels will usually be sufficient to break the cold. Summer diarrhoea can be stopped in the same way by ridding Hie bowels of the poisons and germs that cause the trouble. This opinion of the value of Syrup Pepsin is shared by thousands of people like Mrs. Ella Denzel, 124 Nichols avenue. Stratford.. Conn., who LADS LOSE LIVES OFF ISLAND.
