These ship ments rapidly became larger as the demand became greater until las1 week, when the shipment totalled 13? pounds. One customer said tha: since she had been buying 4-H buttei she could not keep any in the house, She laughed and remarked. "It :s tot good to keep." The home demonstration depart ment is trying to develop every possible home enterprise which will lurnish paying products to market. Ir commenting on this feature of oui work, Mr. O. B. Martin of the,"Washington Department recently said: "W( are just eginning to develop the resources of the farms and farmsteads. When the agents, the colleges and the department focus their attention or standardizing the productes which may be sold in winter as well as ir summer, the club markets of the state will be busy throughout the year. J am confident that there is much yei to do in standardizing and packing vegetables, fruits, meats and manj other things which our people buy or the markets within the state." PATENTED WEEVIL REMEDIES Much Money Wasted on Sucli Devices Says Director Long. Clemson College, March 31.?It is evident that the farmers of South Carolina are spending thousands ol dollars in the purchasing of differenl machines, exterminators, and patentee methods of boll weevil control simplj upon the authority of statements made by the agents who are selling them, says Director W. W. Long, whe feels sure that millions of dollars have been absolutely thrown away in this manner by the farmers of the Southern states as the boll weevil has made its advances through the cotton belt by purchasing contrivances and 1^terials that failed to do what was claimed tor tnem. Clemson College makes this offet to all of the agents who are selling bol lweevil exterminators, catchers and patented methods of boll weevil control: that if such agents will subnit their machines and patented methods to the experts of the United States Department of Agriculture, ir the event that the experts of the United States Department of Agriculture land Clemson College find then meritorious and consequently are wtiling after,?suffiicent trial to advise farmen's to make the purchase of any of these exterminators, catchers or methods of control, Clemson College will at once use all its power and, influence through the public press and through all of its agencies, to call to the attention of the people the success of any exterminator or catcher or method of control, thus eliminating the exepnse on the part of the manufacturers or patentees in the hiring of agents and the large sum expended for advertising and other necessary expenses in bringing their machines or products to the attention of the farmers of South Carolina. e to our * j| J on I he Devoe 1 | ior 1' ! rating | | onstration 1 j everal hundred ?| urniture! m i positively limve. s $10-00 I I Prize i I ea color scheme for iel house with Devoe ?$ nks at cur store.

Herrman, Exten- 1 sion animal husbandman, who says 1 that the dairyman who is not raising : hogs, is working at a decided disad- 1 vantage and the man who is raising hogs and is not using all the skim milk he can get for his pigs, is overlooking a gooc? bet. A leading dairy paper asked its < readers: "Do you consider that a hog 1 herd is absolutely essential on a 1 dairy farm to realize the most profit 1 from the by-products of the dairy < farm?" Of the answers received : 80.42 percent said "Yes." 3 Buttermilk is equal to skim milk s in feeding value if no water has been I added. Both should be pasteurized if. 1 secured from a creamery, in order to 1 prevent the spread of disease, es- l pecially tuberculosis, to which hogs : are very susceptible. i Both skim milk and buttermilk fed i alone are too watery and too rich in protein to produce economical gains. 1 Just enough should be used to bal- 1 ance the ration. Up to that point, i the more used the more rapid the 1 ?ains. The best proportions are: Just < after weaning, 4 pounds of milk to 1 1 pound of corn: .pigs weighing 50 to ' 100 pounds. 3 pounds of milk to 1 1 pound of corn; pigs weighoing 100 1 to 150 pounds. 2 to 2 1-2 pounds of < milk to 1 pound of corn: pigs weigh- < ing 150 to 200 pounds or over 1 1-2 to 2 pounds of milk to 1 pound of corn. ( Pigs on good pasture or forage crops t will need less milk to balance the ra- < tion. i Skim milk and butermilk carry a high percent of mineral matter .especially calcium and phosphorus.

Clemson College, April 2.?While ?elery is not grown to any great extent in this state, it can be grown rery profitably both for home use and ocal markets. The Oiar.t Pascal is )ne of the best winter varieties. The seed may be sown now in a well prepared bed. It will be necessary to shade the bed for 3 or 4 weeks until :he plants have become well estabished. After the plants have formed :he fourth or fifth leaf they should l>e thinned out so as to stand one inch ipart in the rows, which should be ibout 6 inches wide. The thinnings may be transplanted to another bed. In August the plants should be transplanted to the field in rows 6 feeet wide and S inches apart in the row. Celery should be planted on rery rich soil, and heavy applications >f commercial fertilizer as well as barnyard manure should be applied, rhe manure and the fertilizer should be applied in the drill and thoroughy mixed with the soil a week to ten lays before the plants are transplant?d. The earthing-up. or blanching process, begins as soon as the weather urns cool in late September or early October ,and the celery should be eady for use in late November.
