Mi I n Kh said: "I noticed about hcv- i
enty-flvo strangers registered at the
hotel and Haw them In the office
and <1 1 n I UK room, and wiik informed
that the oth^r hotel was ulso filled
with these sporting gentlemen. They
were there from New Orleans, Jack-'
sonvllle, Tampa, Savannah Ohiarles
lon, Atlanta, and from many towns
In North Carolina and Virginia. I
asked their mission and was sur
prised when told that a 'Took pit"
had been, fitted up three or four
miles cast of Florence on the. road
to Mars Mluff; new buildings have
beep erected where these men carry
their gtiuie. chickens and fight them.
?? I -was told t h?H- two sol id.? hx press
cars canVe there loaded '.with nothing
but flgntlnR chickens, and this was
continued Toj" one week. Many fine
birds were killed iu tills |>il, but

t h'n.t enck fighting was prohibited
. m South Carolina by -slat liar> enact
iliont . but was. told that the law had
jell a "ioop hole" and that ii was
prohibited only within certain lim
its of .school house* and churches.
If 1 1 1 } i-. be true, the law should lie
speedily changed so as to prevent
the cruel practice anywhere in the

la rue crowds attended We/live and

condition existed In South (.'arolina,

law will be speedily remedied so
as to absolutely and forever render
It impossible for this cruel relic of

Li Valuable l'\>r I'UNtmr. ami I'Yr
tili/.er Says llullet in.
Washington I),. C., April L'S. A
number of ways in which tlu*. early
appearance of crimson clover 111 t h<?
spring (ill) he turned Id the tann
er's advantage are pointed out in ;i
now publication ul' ilic United
Statics Department of Agriculture
Fiirmor.s' llulletin "'Crimson
(.'lover I tiliy.nt iun." In the South
ern and Central Atlantic States this
crop is of particular, value. Clen
orally speaking it suffers from the
uevcru winters in the north and
from too great dryness west of the
Mississippi. hi Florida also it has
proved less successful than else
where.
Crimson clover, says the bulletin,
has two great advantages. It is an
excellent fertilizer and it can he
used for pasture and hay before an>
other green Kfowtli is available, t In
land being then sown with an ordi
nary summer-grown crop. The clo
ver itself ran he sown toward the
end of the summer on land where
such late crops as corn or tomatoes
are sUII under cultivation. Its use,
therefore, does not interfere with
other products and its benefits cost
little hut >:he labor and seed in
volved.
To obtain the full value of-crim
.flon clover as a fert.ilijr.cr, t he entire
green crop should be plowed under,
thus adding to the soil a large
quantity of nitrogen and humus, or
decayed vegetable matter. The poor*
er the land -the grater is the bene
fit th.it the -succeeding crop de
rives from this process. A yield
of 3 0 bushels of corn per acre may
ordinarily be increased by crimson
olover to 4 5, but on richer land an
increase of more- than 10 bushels is
? uncommon. A convenient method
tot calculation is to consider a full

and the steins comparatively green.
If the harvest Ib put off, the short
hairs on the BteiUH and flower heads
become dry and Ht iff. In tills stage
there Ih danger that they may form
hard dry hair balls in the Intestinal
tracts of horses and mulew to which
th?> hay Ih fed. Thene hair ballB,
solid, compact felt-like structures,
nearly always cause death, I.Oarly
cutting, however, and Judicious mix
ing with other hay will obviate thin
difficulty to a great extent, and, un
der any circumstances, cattle are
rarely affected. Hy dairymen, crim
son clover hay Ih considered a rough
age teed fully equal if not superior.,
to either red or nlslke clover..
For early pasturing crimson clo
ver Ik even more satisfactory, Its
chief drawback being limited time
in which It can be utilized for this
purpose. This period, however, is
ample to enable the ordinary grass |
pastures to attain a growth which
Will greatly Increase their carrying
capacity later in the season. After
The cattle are removed, the uneaten
plants and the. manure left behind
are ploughed under, the manure of
course, forming a valuable addition j
In the fort ill /.inn effect of the clov

iht'tefore, crimson clover offers It
self to farmers at a time when the,
ordinary summer grown crops are
not available. Incidentally. il shuold.
be said, this clover is Valuable for
poultry; A tubfiil of hand-cropped
leaves thrown Into. the p<mlft"> \aid
will provide the chicken*' with, the
best possible green food at a season
when eggs are ordinarily high and
everything t ha.; ? promotes laying- is
most welcome. Small patches ot
crimson clover are, In tact, grown
by poultry raisers for this purpose
alone.
Methods of growing the crop, the
preparation of the seed bed, and
the soils and sections best adapted
to the purpose are discussed in a
previous publication of the Depait
