L ? VOLUMK XXI. CAMDEN, 8. C.. FRIDAY, NOV KM BE# 4,1910. NO. 42. ~ " 1 1 1 1 , 1 ' i ? ? worm fjhom M^'rm _ What a time some poultry keepers uavo trying tb, got rid of scaly legs ?mong their fowls. All kinds of "dope" la recommended, even to catching the hens and Applying salves and other things from one to half a dozen times. An old can with a little kerosene in It wHI do the business. A .little old grease may be added. Ono dipping of tho affected bird's legs In this will end the scales. The early hatched pullets will begin laying eggs soon and as they are ex .pected to furnish the bul'c of the winter eggs, propare . ample quarters for all the young stock. To prevent crooked breast bones tho young fowls should have poles about three inches around or flat rails or lath three or four inches wide. Those who oxpect to make their young chickens grow vigorously and their hens lay well must forget that ? hey require an abundance of mineral foods and supply them with all they need. It is cheaper than any other feeds, but Just as essential. 'J hero Is no oxcuso for not having porfectly well-ventllated poultry houses bocause they are Inexpensive and require not much time to build them. Warmth In tho poultry houses should be sacrificed for ventilation if that Is necessary. The number of eggs that a goose will lay and the fertility of those eggs is largely determined by the care given the breeding birds during the winter months. If they receive prop er care the reward of the caretaker is sure. * The farmer who takes reasonable pains to show tbe hired man the best ^ methods of working will not only be the gainer himself, but will be giving help to a fellow man who will prob ably remember It all his days. If nothing better can be had, milk may be aerated by placing the cans In a trough of cold water and dipping the milk with a long-handled dipper and pouring It back Into tho can un til it Is thoroughly cool. For the past two or three years the earliest, chicks have been somewhat ' difficult to raise. Hatches have also been poor, but with all these uncer tainties it pays to get them Just as early as you can. Don't winter ovor a lot of old kens. Ono year olds do the best laying, al though two-year-old hens often do very well. Kill off. all the hens this .fall that were hatched previous to 1909. Plowing Is very much more effective when the soil is moist enough to pul verize well than when it is too dry, Turning hard clodB of earth upside down really does very little good. The most expensive manurlal sub stance the farmer has to purchase la the commercial fertilizer which con tains nitrogeh, Such as nitrate of soda, guano, tankage, etc. Don't buy a heavy cblony with few bees; buy a colony that has honey enough to last until the honey flow sets in, and see that the colony has plenty of bees. Do not omit cleansing the separator every time after using; neglect in this will Impair the efficiency of the ma chine and damage the quality of the cream. ? - Pekin ducks are tcreamy white in color and should have orange yellow colored beaks; deep blue eyes* with orange colored shanks and t6es. <? * I'. A good way to make artificial shade -to to drive four stakes in the ground and rip a burlap sack and stretch it and fasten corners to stakes. The oil can, properly used, is one of the greatest money makers, or rather, inonby sAVers, on the farm. Keep the machinery well oiled. Sco that the oow's udder 1b thor oughly clean before beginning to milk. i The way to get the largest returns from the hens is to give them the best ?ell Is to put onto it an abundance of ? strawy manure. ? ? ? * of pll? ? T?r, their Pin also i ?MCtat-mk. ? ? Blackhead, In whatever species of bird It may be found, preaenta three symptoms which are invariable?first, diarrhoea, at some stag** of the dla sease; second, a condition of Increaa Ing languor or stupor, together with Isolation from companions In the flock; third, loss o( appetite and more or lesa prolonged emaolatton. The presence of these symptoms In his bhrda suggest to the poultry man who is on his guard that the dlaease haa entered hie flock. More than one-half of the com plalnta regarding dairy cattle coming through the winter In a poor, thin, emaciated condition la due directly to their being kept out too long In the paature and fields and then changing them suddenly by putting them in their winter quarters and feeding them a ration of hay, dry forage and fodders. Methods of treating poultry diseases do not, at the present time, rest upon very secure foundations; and, even If certain measures for treatment are known to be effective, tbff average l>oultryroan does not have the time to undertake treating bis birds In the manner that is required. * tt ts safe to say that never has thwe been such Interest taken in Jer seys throughout the entire country as has characterized the past twelve months. In some sections In the west, breeders and Importers have not been able to meet the demands for the breed. A vigorous male will serve well about sixty does, although some breed ers allow seventyiflve or even more. The breeding season should be' in November and up to the middle of December, as this will bring the kids along In March and April. Fowls that are confined In limited quarters must be watched carefully or the ground will become contaminated and filthy. Frequent spadlngs are good but changing yards and seeding to rape or some thick growing crop Is better. * By good care and proper feeding several dollars may be added to the value of any calf during the first year. The total Increase by this means would amount to millions of dollars^ to the dairy farmers of the state. It certalny will pay to keep n cow that Is In lull flow of milk In a cool, dark stable In the daytime during the hot season, when files seem to wear the very life out of her; then attend to feeding and watering her. Every dairyman should raise the heifer calvos of his best cows and not depend, on anybody's offerings to re plenish his herd. It is absurd to sup pose that he can buy cows as reason able as he can raise them. Far too many sheep owners follow the practise of securing a ram of fair appearence but with little pretentions to good breeding, because such a ram can always be picked up cheaply in almost any community. It 1b not necessary to have a large farm and running water for ducks to swim in. They will do well if they have plenty of water to drink. A low marshy place is the ducks' para dise, however ? Success will not- come the first year. In fact, It takes two or more years'to get started In the poultry business, and then you must keep everlastingly at .it to make a suc cess. ft*?? - ? _ ? ? ? The farmer who says that hens are a nuisance generally speaks the truth as far as. his individual experience goes. His method, or lack of method, makes them a veritable nuisance. Cats are quite fond of little chicks and once they get the habit they can destroy and devour as many chicks as any other animal that preys on the feather tribe. If you keep cross bred or mongrel hens buy a well built, vigorous male ?md see how much bigger, better lay ing, moye uniform the chicks will be next summer. . ^ Brood sows will nose through three Inches of snow to get the green bite, and will range about on their feet for hours, which Is In fact the main ob ject. Vi : .V- r* The returns- from a farm?the amount of money one can make per acre?-depends as much upon the man himself as upon other conditions, A sudden change in the way of feeding or in the care of chickens will' materially affect the egg yield. Usual ly It will cause a decrease. Equal parts of boiled corn, oats and wheat, with now and then the addition of table scraps, makes a good egg pro ducing ration.

STATE HAS AMPLE POWER Tennessee Mutt Enforce Her Own Lawt-^-114 Saloons Opened Fol lowlng the Order, ) . Memphis, Tenn.?Declining to as sume Jurisdiction and upholding the principle of 'States' rights," Federal Judge John E. McCall ordered dissolv ed a: temporary injunction restraining the continuance in business of 114 sa loon keepers of Memphis. , Notwithstanding the declaration of the Law Enforcement League of Mem phis, who, through lifteen of ita mem bers, appeared as complainants, that their appeals to state and local au thorities for redress had been unhced 'ed, Judge McCll held that prosecu tion through grand jury indictments was the proper recourse and was still open. In answer to the allegation that the constituted authorities of the state were not in sympathy with the prohi bition laws as enacted and had refus ed ty act on information furnished, he ,olted Impeaohment proceedings as a method through which their removal from office might be accomplished. Comparatively the opinion of Judge MoCali was brief. It denied that the plaintiffs had established the fact that their constitutional rights, within the' meaning of the fourteenth amendment of the United States constitution, on which ho litigation had turned, had been violated'^and denoted that with out this fact having been fully proved, controversies between citizens of a state properly belonged In the state courts. Further, It is held that 11 the court had Jurisdiction the com plainants are not entitled to relief in a 6ourt of equity" If Jurisdiction was taken in the present issue, it Is pointed out the Federal court might be appealed to to enforce any and all of the criminal laws of a state which would be in direct 'contravention to the United States Constitution. ''Taking every allegation of the bill ttf be true," the opinion continues, "in substance this court is asked to en force the laws of Tennessee between citizens of the state, notwithstanding that article 4 of section 4 of the con stitution of the United States guar antees to every : state a republican form of government." That Tenneseo Is amply provided with such a government is pointod out in conclusion and hence the Issue held not properly befoi^e a Federal court. Immediately following the signing of the formal order dissolving the in< Junction, doors which have remained closed six days, were re-opened, business was resumed and Memphis was as "wet" as ever. NEGRO VOTE ELIMINATED. Carolina "Lily Whites" Declare Negro Voter la a Dead Load. Columbia, 8. C.?The "Lily White" Republican convention called by John G. Capers, national committeeman from this state, met and formed a party prganizatlon, the prime object of which is to eliminate the negro from the councils ~ of the party and bull^ up an opposition which will have some influence lp elections. The con* vfltttlon decided not to put out a tick et thlt year, but to nominate candi dates for congress In ali seven South Carolina districts in 1912. Captain Capers stated that, while the meeting was hot called at the suggestion of the President, yet it was not hostile to trie administration. Its object, as he; ^plained it, was to cast out the shiftless negroes who failed to qualify the franchise, whom he described as <? "dead load on the Re publican party in the South."

Tbe sudden climb followed the publlca tlon of tbo census bureau report show ing the amount of cotton ginned ol U?000,0uo bales or less. In addition to heavy covering by recent sellers, a big rush of buying orders from out side sources doveloped, the bull lead era of the earlier season who are sup posed to have takeu profits on their long cotton when tho market ii the 16-c?nt level, seemed to be coming back as big buyers on tho advance, and private reports came In from all over the South, from western specula tive centers and from many of the chief cottpn centers abroad, express ing a very bullish view of tho (IgureB. It is doubtful whether a government report ever caused a more genera) buying movement or causod a more sensational rapid advance. Predictions of 2o-cent cotton before tho end of tho season waa frequently heard in local trude circles, and the market, in short, rcHectod a complete revival of the bullish enthusiasm TAFT TO APPOINT NEGRO.

The balloonist a started from 8t Louis with nine other contestants In tho International content Monday, Oc tober 17. All the other balloons have boen reported. With tho receipt of the news, tblfe ended a search which was regarded by many as almost hopeless, and in which the governments of this coun try and Canada were Indirectly par ticipating. For, In addition to emis saries hunt by the Aero Club of St, Louis, the Aero Club of America, by William llawley, tho United States revenue cutter Bervlcc, tho signal corpB of tho navy, the Hudson Hay company and other agents were con ducting the search, scouring the Great LakeB and making preparations for entoring tho almost lmpenetrablo Ca nadian forests.

Tho adverse conditions compolled them to land, much against their wishes. Landing was effected easily, and the balloon was left in good con dition. Kanguinely they started to get to the nearest settlement, "fhey were un comfortably near the end of their pro visions, but, recounting tho story of their experiences they made light of that feature. They, had confidence, they said, in their ability to obtain sufficient game to prevent starvation. For three nights they were obliged to sleep In the open air. It was a stiff flight through snowy forests. The weather was exceedingly cold. Then the camp of a trapper was struck on the river Alours. A day's rest was enjoyed there in tho deserted hut. Five trappers appeared and took them down the streams in their ca noes to St. Ambrolse, a little settle ment 40 miles from here. A six hburs' drive brought them here.
