Garrison took a trip into tin- upper part nf Oconee and ?ot in sonic good work. On Tuesday they cul up two stills on Chat tonga river, destroying a large lot of beer at each place, some low wines, small quantities of mash, destroying the plants. On Wednesday morning ?'arly thc, went on a hunt for a still that h..s tor some time been giving trouble to the O Hice I'S in locating. They found this plant, but it was a difficult prop osition, presenting one of the most iiniuue dillim? plants located in many a day. C . s located on the bank of a small ..outitaln stream. Thc banks bel lit? high, Hu? ingenious still ers had taken advantage ol this fea ture of the location, excavating a largo room in the side of the bank, just above the water line. There was no ?due left OM the ground about thc place by footprints, as all those who Visited th<> pla??- seemed to us?' the lied of the branch tor traveling to and fro. In th?' top of the room ex cavated in the branch bank thort' was a small B(|tiare hole made, ami the smoko from th?- sui! cunio out right at the surface of the ground. Brush an I other rubbish was piled around, giving i lu* appearance, doubtless, when the plant was running, ol a smouldering brush heap. for tlw carrying ott' of still refuse a trench had been dug for a long distance, Ibis emptying into another branch P ading awa\ from the one on which the still was located. lt was this trench that gave the officers tim trail to the still, however. Brush had been pi!?'?i over it. but at one point thc covering had been disturbed, and the "stream" was more s'il! slop and ret use than water, it was easy sid ing tor the officers after that. Ml they had to do was to follow the brush-covered trench until they found the end of it. They wei?' surprised, however, when they found that it ap parently had no beginning inst sion ped in the side of a little hill. lint lhere were the tell-tale smell and sight ol fermented "slop."

Meal ami (.rain Make UaJUuicotl Halloas. Clemson College, Nov. 10. South Carolina farmers are being urged to use as much home-grown grain feed as possible in the rations they nive their cows thin winter. One reason for this is tlte high price of cotton seed meal. Ititi even if meal wore low in price, this advice would be given, sus the Clemson dairy experts, he cause cotton seed meal and hulls to not make a balanced ration .and by substituting some grain a man can improve the feeding value of his ra tion and al the same time save money. in a circular letter sent to farmers hy the agent in dairying at Clemson College the following ration is sug gested for dairy cows: One par! cotton seed meal; one part corn and cob meal or rice meal: one part wheal bran. One par' ground oats may be add ed to the above ration or substituted for either the corn and cob meal or wheal bran. Feed one pound of this mixture for every three pounds of milk given by thc cow daily. Cow nea hay, continues the letter, is bringing low prices. It can be used ;., great advantage in the cow's ration. If cows have free straw and racks of com stover or oat rsl raw a tut are given ten pounds of cow pea bay daily, one pound ol' the meal and grain mixture may be fed for every four pounds ol' milk given. Do not let present high prices of cotton seed meal discourage you in tin dairy business." say the dairy experts. "Feed your cows liberally on home-grown feeds. The man who sells his cows or cuts their ration when feed is high never has any high-producing cows. The dairy cow is a means of converting home-grown ("??eds into cash, while all the skim n.ilk and manure remain on the farm. These by-products are valua ble to >ou in maintaining the soil fer I ility of your farm." CALOMEL SALIVATES AND MAKES YOU SICK. Acts Like Dynamit?' on a Sluggish Liver and You Ijose a Day's Work.
