The railroads have granted what is known as a selling-in-transit rate which Arill help greatly in reducing the cost of transportation. In short, the facilities for niarketlng^are already here. Buyers Coming Here. W. W.

There will he two sales periods this season, one a midwinter sale and the other a spring sale, and I ho buyers will come to South Carolina oil these two occasions and go from one to another of the cen irm inarKm points i ins reverses ine older order of thing*. under which the South Carolina farmer shipped his cattle to eastern markets and trusted to his luck for what he could net for them. This co-operative marketing; plan has received wide attention outside ,the state and a number of leading farm publications have noticed it favorably. it is also considered by the United States department of agriculture as one of the best methods posail>le of developing the livestock industry of the South. Illustrated posters were sent, from Clemson College late in July urging farmers to select their feeders in August. In response to this, many people wrote to the college asking where feeders could he purchased and expressing their Intention to huv.

How to Select Feeders. Farmers who have not yet selected their feeders should do so at once. In choosing feeders, look for the animal with the hlocky form. Do not take rangy, leggy stuff with shallow bodies. The constitution of the animal has an important hearing on his value as a feeder. This is indicated by a short, broad head, broad muzzle, open nostrils, large heart girth and clear eye. Look especially at the head, as the rerooiotlor of tho ooinin! cTonori? 1!v nti?to. spends to the head. Pick a short, hrmiil linfiil Another Important point is feeding capacity. Just as a dairy cow is a machine for turning feed into milk, so is a beef animal a machine for turning feed into hoef. Select feeders with big feeding cjipacity. Quality, which is important also, is indicated by general form, fineness of hair, size of bone and horn and thickness of skin. Farmers who have stock of their own breeding are advised to keep them for feeding and not to sell them off grass thfs fall. It is profitable to finish cattle. The finished steer is the one that brings the most money. Care of Cattle. The care of feeding cattle Is most important. There is much truth in the old Flemish proverb that "the eye of the master fattens his cattle." Two men may give their cattle exactly the same feed, yet one lot of stuff may do much better than another, merely he ause of the difference in care. One joint to remember is to watch the cat in* ciosciy mr Hcourn. wnon ail animal tcours the chances are that It Is get;lng too much feed or unbalanced feed. Vnother point to be observed is reguarity of feeding and watering;. I^etiIiik a steer go several hours past its feeding time may cause it to gorge it self to such an extent as to develop serious trouble with its digestion. In ?;eneral. a safe rule is that the cattlt that are best cared for will fatten best. The feeding of the cattle and hogs 'or these cooperative markets will he directed by the demonstration and ex tension forces of Clentson College. The feeding will be supervised directly by the county demonstration agents while all special cases will receive at tent ion from the livestock specialist >f the extension division of Clcmson College.

Red Springs Won Championship A series of baseball games in which Fort Mill fans took much interest was that played in Charlotte the last week between the teams of Gastonia and Red Springs to decide the State championship of North Carolina. The first game played Wednesday was won by Red Springs by a close score. The Gastonia team, assisted on Wednesday by "Chief" Bender, an Indian pitcher from one of the major leagues, had easy sailing, taking the game from Red Springs by the decisive score of 10 to 3. It was stated that the big Indian pitcher had the opposing team at his mercy and only a few times did he exert any great effort to prevent the making of a run. On Friday, however, the Gastonia team was minus a Bender, the Indian having left the previous day, and the Red Springs team walked away with the championship honors, the score being 1 to 0. Local fans who witnessed the games say that the series came as near being the real article as anything in the way of baseball they had ever witnessed. i YATES WEBB A8AINST SUPPLYING MUNITIONS E. Y. Webb of Shelby, N. C., representative of the Ninth district of North Carolina and chairman of the judiciary committee of the house of representatives, in an address at I Spartanburg Saturday afternoon before a men's meeting of the Y. M. C. A., suggested that the United States should stop the shipment of munitions of war to the allies by way of retaliation for the attitude England lias assumed towards our commerce. He said he believed England would take cotton olf the contraband list if this country would let it be known that war supplies from this country would be cut off. He said he liail ?

He said the United States was the only neutral nation selling munitions of war to the countries engaged in the European conflict.

Passages of his speech created a mild sensation among members of his audience whose sympathies are with the allies, With the Local D. A.

Southern's Hew Trade Mark. //HHh The Southern Railway Co. has adopted a new and attractive trade mark as shown above. The desing "SR" is symbolical to the name of the road and the wording "The Southern serves the South" is suggestive of the many lines operated by the Southern Railway throughout all of the 4.U *.1 AL J aiaitb ouulii 01 uie vjiuo anu r'otoniac rivers and east of the Mississipppi. There is hardly a city or town of importance throughout the entire South that is not connected with the balance of the S< uth, either directly by the Southern Railway's own trains or by sleeping car lines over the roads in connection with Southern Railway, via some adjacent juncti n point. On this account the title "The Southern Serves the South" was adopted as being appropriate. The Southern Railway spends about $200,000.00 a year in advertising and a great deal of this advertising is done in the Northern, Eastern and Western sections of the country so as to attract people into the South, and on all of this advertising matter this trade mark will appear hereafter.?Adv.
