The management of this road is hereby further instructed to install this service not later than October 1, 1911." ADVANTAGES OF HILAGU, How To Keep Green Food nil Tho Year.??Clemson Kxteuulou Work, Article XLV1I. To produce milk at low cost pas turage or Its equivalent Is necessa ry. To take the place of pasturage two methods of getting green food can be resorted to. The first being to!-, grow such crops as rye, 'wheat, oats, sorghum, and corn and cut these at the proper time and feed to the cows. The second method la to put up green food In suoh a manner that It will keep green the entire year and be ready to feed at any season. To keep green food all the* year It la necessary to keep It air tight. The most convenient form In which to do this' Is by the use*of the sllo. The silo may bo made of brick, concrete, or wood ?whichever 1b most convenient to tho builder. How to build and what to use will be explained In detail If application is made to the Dairy Division of Clemson College. The requirements for any sllo be ing that when filled it will be air tight and have great enough depth so that the pressure of the silage will drive out all the air. The material, such as corn and'sorghum of which most of the silage is made, must be put into the silo green. If at all dry, water must be added, for unless It stays damp in the si lo it will spoil, Two advantages of the sllo Is that it gives a supply of green food the entire year and enables the farmer to p^t1 a large amount of food in a very small spaoe. The coat of the alio will average about $1 to *2 per ton capacity. The coat of putting the corn or sor ghum Into the alio, counting all ooit Of growing, will vary from %2 to $4 per ton. No dairyman can afford to be Without a alio. To Observe Bible Day. Tho Sunbeam Band the Cam den Baptlat Church will observe Bible Day Sunday evening at 8:80.

TWINS MARRY TWINS. Different Colored Flowers Used to Distinguish Bridal Couples. ?* ' ______ Austin, Texas, special to Baltimore American. Two Missouri twins married two Texas twins at San Marcos, thirty _ miles south of here recently. The 1 brides were Misses Alma and Alta Moore, and the grooms Leland and Loran Tabler ,of Adrian, Mo. The most interesting feature of the doi^blo wedding is that the brides resemble each other so close ly that their most intimate friends cannot tell them apart, and that the twin grooms also look as much alike as two peas. The twin brides were dressed a llke, as were the two grooms. To distinguish one from J.he other, dif ferent colored flowers were worn. The two couples left together on a bridal trip to St. Louis, and will be at home in Adrian, Mo., in about two weeks. The circumstances of the marriag are Quite romantic. The young men were informed about a year ago of the two ladles, this leading to a correspondence and an exchange of photographs. Last Christmas the young men came to see the young women. This led to the marrjage. Masonic Sermon. We are requested to announce that Rev. T. L.

The change of heart that "as taken place In these gentle men Is not questioned by me, but It would be better understood If U were fully explained.
