The manufacturers of almost all brands of stock foods realize that stock does not, as a rule, get all the salt they need; hence put in a generous supply of this much relished condiment. On loose, rolling sous alfalfa is pref erable to an annual legume like crim son clover or cowpeas, because when once established the soil needs no plowing and but slight harrowing for several years. The newly set wood lot will do best if given much the same cultivation as other tilled crops, for the law of rapid growth for trees and plan4ife is the same-namely, adequate ciftlation of the air and moisture in the soil. During the last fiscal year the im portation of wool into the United States amounted to 26G,500,000 pounds, valued at $45,000,000. For the last decade the consumption of wool to taled 4,750,000,000 pounds, of which 38 per cent, valued at $213,000,000, was imported. If the boy couldn't have both, but could choose the one or the other, he would be better equipped for life with a well endowed self respect and moral backbone than by having a parentage e: .owed with a fat bank account only. The possession of the former will en able him to keep his head level in many times of stress, while the latter would more likely prove a pitfall and a snare than of any positive benefit. It Is generally conceded by experi enced fruit men that heavy pruning during the dormant period tends to produce heavy wood growth the sea son following. This type of p.uning is therefore desirable for young trees where growth of wood and the build-: Ing of a good frame are the chief aim. With mature bearing trees the prun Ing, if proper care has previously been given, should be light and should be done during July and August, which will Induce fruit rather than wood production. Where it is not desired to grow .an Intensive crop like strawberries in the young orchard beans or corn makes an excellent substitute where soil and cli matic conditions are favorable. The tillage of these crops gives the soil that stirring which is 'most beneficial for the growing trees, while neither pulls largely on the soil fertility. In; sections where the summer sun is very hot and a shade is needed for the trees corn would be preferable to beaus, while the presence of the grow Ing corn would lessen the damage to the young trees from grasshoppers in case they were numerous. In the first year many follow the practice of hav Ing the young tree take the place of a hill of corn, while others allow no corn to grow in any of the four ad joining hill spaces. Of course the ordy condition und.r which corn would be permissible In a young orchard would be that of -"peated and frequent culti viatons. Every farmstead located In a section where winters are cold and winds blow ught to have-its shelter belt of conif erous trees-spruces, pines or firs. The strip devoted to such windbreak ought to be located at a sufficient distance from the house and farm buildings to: give room for feed lots, garden, etc.' This strip should be put In mellow con-, tlon and given frequent cultivation after the young trees are set. It Is! well to select for the shelter belt varie ties which have done well and made thrifty growth on other farms in the, icinity, or, If there be none of these, arieties which are recommended by the nearest reliable nurseryman. Only! those trees shcold be bought which: are guaranteed to have good roots' and to grow when properly cared for.1 Trees that have been transplanted several times in the nursery are far preferable to those which have not been. The a-,portant thing to keep In mind in buyIng the trees Is not bow heaply they can be-bought, but, hay-' ng been set, how well they will do and how thrifty and symmetrical a shelter belt they will make. Shoddy, poor rooted trees that can be get for a song are the most expensive kind of trees that a fellow can buy In the long While the statistics of the world's supply of live stock are Incomplete,! the latest estimates are interesting. Sheep are the most numerous of the omestic animals, and their total num ber is placed at 580,000,000. In this industry Australia ranks first with' BS,000,000 head. Argentina next with: 7000000. and the United States third with 57.000.000 head. The worlds sup-i ply of cattle is given as 43,00,000 head, and In this line British IndiaI leads with 91,000,000 head, Including buffaloes and buffalo calves. The United States stands second with 70,.! 00.000 head and Russi third with1 37,000000. In the raising of hogs the United States is far and away in the lead, being credited with 50,000,000, or more than a third of the world' supply. Germany comies second with 22,000000 head, while European Rus sia has about 11,000.000. The total number of horses is placed at 95,000, 000 head, and the United States and European Russia rank about even with between 20,000,000 and 25,000,000 each.

It is a lonely little fishing bay In a corner of the Curnish coast, but It boasts a lighthouse on its que.er old quay and also a story concerning It and Its ancient keeper. The light was noted to be a little erratic, and so one day to the ancient keeper thereof came an otficer of the coast guard. -'What Is this I hear?" lhe demanded. L -It true that your light is never alight after mldnight "-That's right nuff," assent ed the ancient one equably. "'Tis a fack and well known that all the boats' be in and safe afore 12 mIdnight, so I be savin' the fle!" And he looked ming for approbation.-St. James' A becoming sense of the eternal fitnes of things would suggest the propriety of having at least a couple of months elapse between the publication of a card of thanks and action on the part of the heirs at law to take steps to se cure what they con'sIder an equitable partition of the estate of the deceased relative. Hen manure is too concentrated a fertilizer to be put on the land liberal ly, as is done with other manures. It should be mixed with dust or litter while accumulating, and even then one should spread the stuff sparingly. We have known of mature apple trees be lng knocked out by too much kind ness In the application of this fer tilizer. Treating seed corn wi.a coal tar by stirring a small quantity of it in a peck of seed at a time so that each kernel is smeared with a little of the tar is said to keep the crows and go phers from touching the corn after It is planted. If the kernels are inclined to stick together more corn should be worked In and possibly a little flour, whMch will tend to keep the kernels apart. The sooner soil is harrowed after being plowed the more completely will It retain the moisture at and near the surface, for the blanket of fine, mellow earth thus made checks a rapid evap oration of the moisture. Since this is so a delaying of the harrowing will serve to more quickly dry a soil that contains more moisture than is re quired for the proper germination of the seed which is to be placed there In. In sections of the west where moisture is at a premium strict atten tion is paid this fact of moisture con servation. If the truth were known it would probably come to light that the in creased cost of living is due to a sub stantial increase in freight and express rates as well as to a perceptible infla tion of the circulating medium and scarcity of some staple food supplies. This advance in transportation rates has been very quietly made, but the increase has been considerable, and the middleman and distributer in order to come out whole has had to add this advance to the prices he had been pre viously asking for his goods, which were already high. There is nothing calculated to check milk flow In a dairy cow more effec tually than being chased around a yard by a cursing, loud mouthed man or boy and being ever and anon pounded over head or rump with club or milk stool. Not long ago we saw a pretty likely looking heifer put through this kind of mill by a couple of little heath ens, whose treatment would be sufm cient to cause a cow to give skimmilk, sour milk or no milk at all. It may sufice to say that the father of these boys wasnt-in the dairy business for profit or he would have got busy on the boys with a big slat. Of all shortsighted initial economies there is none worse than the buying of runty and unthrifty fruit trees just because they can be got cheap, and this is true whether one is setting an orchard for himself or expects to turn It over to some customer at bearing age. Iti h tr te es si the case of a calf or a pig, during the irst three years that largely deter mines not only its later beauty, but utility as a horticultural thing, and hence every reasonable precaution should be taken to see that the choice of the young trees as well as the care given should be of the best. A fellow may not, suffer anything more than physical discomfort If he orders his undershirt and prunes from a distant mall order house, but he had better pass the practice up when It comes to grass seed and order from a home man who he can bat with a stuffed club If the seed is not pure and as represented. Not as yet is there In force an adequate federal pure seed law; hence a fellow has no re course for damages If he orders from a frm outslde of his own state and gets worthless or even pernicious grass seed. A number of statAs have effec tive pure seed laws, and where seller and buyer reside In such states the latters rights are amply safeguarded. While there is a big discrepancy be tween the prices which It was claimed could be got for ginseng in the craze which swept over the country four or five years ago and those which are quoted today, the returns are never theless suficient to give a good In terest return on the money invest ed provided one has the patience to bide his time for results. The present prices of ginseng range from $4.50 to $43.75 per pound for the dried roots, the higher prices being received for the wild product, which finds a conge nall home in moist, moldy wood tots where the shade is sufficiently dense to keep blue grass from getting a foot hold. The roots should not be gath ered before they are two years old, while much t'arger and a better quality of roots are secured if they are al lowed to grow a longer period. In the artiicial cultivation of ginseng the conditions of moisture and shade re ferred to as existing In a native wood lot are repro'-/.ed as nearly as possi ble, the beds being shaded by the erec tion of slat roofs and abundant miois tore being supplied If the rainfall should not be suf~cient.

W. E. Black Rot of Sweet Patatec. Article if. ne of the miost wid.- spr.-ad an! mnost destructive :iw-.. in this State at Present Is the !aek :')t of Sweet P' tatoe. Tlis disrase occurs quite com rmonly and does considerable dam:sge on potatoe- both in the field and in .sora:e. The rot is caused by a parasitic fungus which. under certain conditions. is able to pa.-s from one plant to another and thus spread the disease. The trouble first appears as brown or black patches or mottled. discolored areas on the surface of the potates. Quite frequently these discorbred areas are obsered in potatoes when they are du-. but at this stage the diseases only seems to penetrate the skin and is ap parently doing no serious harm. Later the rot extends into the potatoe and causes the allected area to turn black and to emit the odor which is so char acter stic of rotten potatoes. When such wotatoes are stored in warm, moist places. the rot producing fungus be comes especiaily active and by means of Liuy spores, which are produced in small black pustules on the surface of the diseased areas, spreads rapidly from one potatoe to an(.iher. Under such con ditions the disease is also spread by the filaments of the fungu, growing from the rotten potatoe directly into adjoin ing healthy potatoes. In this wa-: the frot might spread to every potatoe in a bank. If slightly diseased nota-oes are stor ed in a place where conditions are un favorable for the development of the rot. l:hey frequently remain partly rotted until spring. The real danger of spread in. the dise-ase from one ield to another cmes in bedding such potatoes. Slight I y diseased potatoes seem to sprout as readily as healthy ones, and the slips fron such potatoes are diseased. The disease tra.ferred with such slips .to the field remains on the plant and at tacks the potatoes when they develop. The fungus which causes black rot. also lives over in the soil from year to yer and where potatoe% are planted every I year on the same land, the disease con stantly gets worse. To prevent black rot then we must: First. secure disease free seed for plant ing. Second. avoid pianting potatoes on the same land for two years in suc cesston. Quite frequently it is impossible to secure potatoes for bedding which are entire!v free from disease. In such case it is well to use vines instead of slips, f..r the fungus which causes the disasse I remains in the vicinity of the roots of tt.e plants. It does not live in the vines and leaves. so vines grown from diseas ed potatoes. if planted on land which is free from disease, will produce sound potatoes. Now, as I have said, black rot occurs on the majority of the farms in this state. and is responsible either directly or indirectly for the loss of thousands of dollars worth of potatoes annually, so it is well for every farmer to look out for it and guard against its spread. If you have already bedded your potatoes and I are not sure that they are free from dis ease. plant as much of your crop as you can from vines and on lanu not previous ly planted in potatoes. When 3 ou gather these potatoes, bank sepa rately the ones grown from the vines and the ones grown from the slips and note the keep ing qualities of each. Potatoes should not be banked for two ears in su.ession in the same place. because the fungi which cause these rots will live over in the old banks and attack, the new potatoes as soon as they are baniced. Where potatoe houses or cellars are used for storine. they should be cleaned out and disinfected before I the new crop is put in. This can be done by cleaning them out thoroughly and t!en sraying the walls and floor with a 3 per cent.. solution of formaline or a iper cent., solution of copper sulphate (blue stone.) H. W.

On Choosing Legislators. Does it often occur to the averag~e voter that the legislature controls in a large measure the development cf the public school system and col leges of the State? Does Winthrop need a new kitch en! The legislature decides whether it shall have the money with which jto build it. Does the South Caro lina University need bath rooms? Does the Citadel need more domitory room? Should Clemnson's troubles in adinistration be :tone into inde pendently of the trustees? The mem ber.. of the legislature must deeide. Shall a fund be provided to length en the school termu of the wveak pub lic schools? Shsall they he helped to Ibuy libraries? The men you send to legislature must say yes or no. Often these qetosare decided by a very few votes, not infrequently by one. Sometimes in the House and frequently in the- Senate one men: ber de--ides the fate of large issues. The personnel of the legislature is ofgreat importance to the Sta te at large. Each county must, of course. eonsider local issues in choosing rep resetatives, but voters should, at the same time. think seriously of the greater interests involved. Counties are judgea in considerable measure by the character of their representatives and county pride should play no smuall part in select ig delegations. When all this is realized it becomes rather distressing to find that there are voters who cast their votes from Ismall personal motives. The total number who are influenced by poli tical grudJges. personal animosities, trival likes and dislikes, or who cast their votes thoughtlessly are at times enough to elect or defeat leg islative candidates. This is all said without regard to any aspirant for legislative honors in this county now or in the past. But, as the time is at hand when voters will be called on to choose their representatives, such reflections are very timely.- Beaufor: Giazette. BnsIn Finland.
