Though stock beets are grown very little m South Carolina they are an excellent feed for the dairycow, as they furnish a succulent feed during fall and winter months when other green feed is scarce. They should be planted in two and a half to three foot rows, using about six pounds of seed per acre. The seed germinate faster if soaked for about twenty-four hours in water just before planting. Planting should be done from late March to the last of L\?ay and in July and August, though the early plantings do best. Plant on well pulverized land, using about .500 pounds of fertilizer per acre applied in the drill. (The plants should be thinned to every 14 or 16 inches in the drill. Frequent shallow cultivation is necessary. Crops of 50 toss per acre haive been produced with the Mammoth Long Red variety, but this does not keep as well as the Globe, and so should be fed before severe cold weather sets in. The Globe should be covered with soil by throwing a furrow to them from both sides for the best results for keeping them in the field. One fifth acre should feed oae oow for three months. AaBgeig. This crop is grown the same a3 stock beets, and what has been said ia regard to stock beets might be applied to Mangels also. Red Globe and Tankard are excellent varieties, tthe mammoth also is a good variety. Twtpl. One-teatk acre of tirnips should teed out cow for a month. The j Yellow Aberdeen and Extra Purple r Top Milam are excellent varieties for this purpose. The Bor Air Ruta Baga also a good variety to use, I and may b? planted at almost anyj time. j Gerataa Millet. Few farmers realize the value of 1 Crerman Millet as a hay crop. It j produces hay of a fine quality, and j easily cured. It may be cut twice if1 tixe fiist cuttirg is made before the i seod ?head& appear. Otherwise thej first cutting should be made when j the seed hears are in bloom, and toefore the seed harden. It requires a rich ai well fertilized soil for the * best results, and should by no means be planted o.a poor soil. .It draws tie?\ily on the soil, and should never be grown except in rotation, with: r-owpeas following the millet. It j does well on bottoms, and yields of I from two to four tons per acre hare been obtained on such lands. Plantr ing should be done after danger of frost is past and during a moist season up until lAuguet 1st. Sow the seed broadcast at the rate of from 5 to 6 pecks per acre, fertilizing with about '500 pounds of fertilizer per acre, broadcast and harrowed u before sowing the seed. Unless the soil moist at planting time, a roller should be used to insure a good stand. The land should be thoroughly pulverized before planting, as the seed do not germinate well in rough land.

The dairyman who expects to make a marked success of his business must grow all of his roughage, and as much of the grain feeds as possible, on his farm. It is now full time to begin figuring on the feed supply for th? coming winter. We must keep our cows in good flesh if we expect them to do their best for us. Every dairyman who has 10 or more cows cannot afford to go through another winter without a silo of sufficient capacity to feed each cow in his hei;d 25 to 30 pound? of silage per day or approximately 1000 pounds per month, for at least 6 months in each year. Plant one-fourth more acreage than you figure to fill- your silo, in corn or sorghum, so that should the drougth shorten the crop you will still have enough to fill the silo. Grow and save enough legume (or j other) hays to feed each co-w 5 to: S pounds per day if you are feeding i silage as above suggested. This would j require from 1000 to 1200 pounds per. i r >? <$ ^s> <$> <? <e> ? <?> S> r R>V 1> . ?> TIRE AND HUME ECONOMICS <*> 4> GE DEPARTMENT ^ >n Agent Prosperity, S .C omics Prosperity, S.

She must hajye her stomach full for best results. It is cheaper to fill her on silage and hay than on grain. Hulls are an expensive feed and should not be used on the dairy farm. Grow all the sweet potatoes, beets, aud turnips you can. They are all good winter feeds for increasing the milk flow and decreasing the expense of production, especially when you do not have a silo. i There is .no "better grain feed for! mixing with our cotton seed meal j than corn meal. For this reason we i should .plant enough corn to feed i the cows a balanced ration. She! will pay a good price for it. The j amount necessary for each cow: should vary according to the amount of milk and butter fat she produces. On the average you should plant enough to produce ,cot less man iz bushels per cow, and as much more as possible. We can grow the corn in South Carolina and a good dairy ; cow is a splendid market.

Home 5Tade Iceless Refrigerator. This consists of a wooden frame, covered with canton flannel or , some similar material. It is necessary that the frame be screened before j / covering is put on. Wicks, made of j same material as covering, rest in a pan of water on. top of the refrigerator, extend to the bottom of frame,, and allow the water to seep down the sides. When evaporation takes place, the iat is taken from the inside with a consequent lowering of temperature. The following description will aid in the construction: Make a screened case, any dimen sione, with a solid top and bottom. Place as many shelves in frame as desired. Use a biscu t pan, or a made galvanized tin j>an, on the top to hold the water, and where the refrigerator is to be used indoors have the whole thing standing in a pan to catch, the drip. The pans and case may be painted white to prevent rust Ing. fTwo double strips at least one- J half the width of each side, called j wicks, extend all the way across the! frame. A covering of white canton j flannel should be-made to fit the j frame. Have the smooth side out. and ^ WIFE TOO ILL !

F. Goodrich company. The American iAutomobile associai +.V?? /%flRniol occi-trMijti/Yn nf Lliru, kULC UrVk^VVM*w*\/M w? owners of this country, has prepared rules to goivern the determination of the actual champion for the season of i nineteen sixteen and will be the sole arbitrator regarding such award. (The Silvertown Cord tire is universe IK- rpr>r>oriized as the tvDe of con - -w ^ ? c, - struction insuring best results in ! speed contests and is almost universally used by racing drivers. There is no reason why the Goodrich company should extend any award for the purpose of inducing the use of the Silvertown Twin Cable Cord tire, and it does not, but gives outright without a string- tied to it of any kind whatsoever, ten thousand dollars divided beween the authoritatively determined champion, the second and third in order quite irrespective of the make or kind of tire that may be used by said winners.

The criminal's rich and influential relatives interceded an-' the requisition was re- j fueed. Prominent men in South Car- J olina told their governor he had not been properly treated, and he, accom! panied by a large party of friends and adr.isors, journeyed by stage to ; Raleigh for a conference, llhe gov- j ernor of North, tarolina with a party of distinguished men, met them sev- j eral miles from town and . gave them j ceremonious escort to the gover- i nor's maaisioJi.

The governor arose to his feet and beckoned to a servant who stood some distance away. His beckoning was firm and dignified, as became his position. He was slow about answering, and again the governor of South Carolia demanded: "What do you say?" "I say, governor, that it's a long time between drinks!" The reply restored good humor.
