Carolina is hotter prepared today
for the raising of live-stock than
e\er before in her history. Not only
is there more dry feed and pasturage
in the state, but at last there are markets
also?good markets, that put the
South Carolina stock raiser on an
equal footing with the citizen of any
other locality. Having made many
preparations and taken numerous pre^
liminary steps and after making two
actual experiments last year, the extension
division of Clemson College is
prepared now to undcrtako to supervise
the feeding and marketing of
iiiiiUaa!iur< Of Cattle uiii! I'.C.gS thir,
ter and spring and is making arrangements
accordingly.
The live stock markets of the state
are at Greenville, Greenwood, Itock
Hill. Columbia, Florence and Charleston.
At each point livestock pens are
- under construction. These cities are
concentration and selling points. a
man raising cattle and hoks will ship
thorn for market to the one of those
points nearest to hint. 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. Long, slate agent and director
of extension at Clemson College,
lias made arrangements witli a number
of prominent stock buyers of the eastern
markets to attend the sales in
South Carolina. 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. Hanks

ing farmers so to arrange their Gnancee
that they can feed some cattle
this fall and winter.
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

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.

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

said the United States was the
only neutral nation selling
munitions of war to the countries
engaged in the European
conflict. He intimated that
legislation designed to stop the
sale of American arms abroad
might be enacted by the next
congress. Passages of his speech

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.

it is real liver medicine; entirely vegetable,
