The bounty allowed under tile new act was 20 shillings proclallation money for "every hundred pounds weight of well dre !ssed lerchalit:.ble flax, reck on in.g five score to the hundred, and ,.o in proportiol f'or all un(der n11d above that q(untity made in th is provinen."

SILO FILLING TIME * Clemson College, Sep1t. 13.-Re member you e'an make - or ruin your silage at filling time says J. P. La Master, chief of the dairy divislion, who states that the feed value .of all silage crops depends on- the time they are cut, the method of cutting, and packing. Corn is ready for the silo when the grain is well 'dented, the shuck is turnin- brown, and the lower leaves on the stalk are dry. Just about the time you pulled fodder before you learned the better way. If sorghum is used, make sure it gets ripe before cutting. The seed should be hard and the stalk ready for making syrup. When sorghum is cut green for silagg, the result is an acid watery feed not relished by cows. Cutting the Silage For the most efficient packing the knives should be Aharp and shold be set to cut the material into pieces oue-hailf to three fourths of an inch in length. A distributor should be used to spread the material about the silo, else the heavy particles will settle in one pile and the leaves and lighter mrterial blow to the outsi(e. If no distributor is at hand, make a chute which will deliver the material Fron1 I -___________ ['READ. co Tread, standardl hrit who a wel a N all of modern rr r less than s. l'tric~ L the biggest cont: a repO- fabric tire situation, acdd .Around 70% of a use fabric tires.

I"' ri.wh) to0lce ter of the silo, wli' e ' may b6 distributed eVeilly about the surface by a man with n fork, Packing the $ilge Packing is the most important operation in filling a silo. -The se cret in keeping. and making siage is to keep the material air-tight. More silage is spoiled by improper pack ing than by any other cause. - The number of men needed in the silo de pends on the size of the silo and the rate of filling. When six to ten tons are being cut per hour, two men are needed in a silo 10 feet in diameter, a1d- three in larger sizes. The pack i ig should be chiefly around the c gcs. First, distribute the material around the edges, pack. Well, and then fill the center; then repeat. When finishing, round up the' center higher than the edges. In settling the silage pulls away from the edges, and filling up the center tends to prevent this. If the material is too dry to pack well, add water. It is not easy to damage the ensilage by usingi too much water.

No Measures Necessary By an rct passed by the/general assembly, March 28, 1778, it: was de claretd that t'e aboVe mentioned "acts and resolution have fully ah swered the salut,ry purposes for which they were enact 'd, and by the great increase and flourishing con dition of the manufactures of this state are now become unnecessary." Statistics as to production, con sumption and exportation of com modities produced in South Carolina in that (lay have never been syste matically collected by any one. Gov. John Drayton, in his "Views of South Carolina," published in 1802, gives a few haphazard statistics of that character. Among the exporta tions listed by him on his table of exportations from November 14, 1783, to December 3, 1784 (from the crop of 1783), when the country was still suffering from the demoralization of the war of the Revolution, was 171 cakes of flax seed. That would seem to indicate a pretty stiff flax crop in 1783. A. S. Salley, Jr., in the Columbia State of last Saturday. Il '1LanU.S.Usco' Here is the U. S.
