TEMPERANCE FORCES UNITED In Demand for Prohibition and Work lfl Wen UnW W?y.~ Prohibitionists of Korsliaw County : 1 Never before has the outlook for pro hibition been so promising; in every county of the state there are men at work circulating the petitions for the referendum. Four counties ' have al ready called for additional blanks ? these being Laurens, Darlington, Marl boro and Clarendon, That prohibition can prohibit, and will prohibit when we have faithful men in office, is proved by the exam ple of Russia, and the experience of Kansas. This great corrective meas ure was Imposed upon the people by the Czar, and the benefits haVe been so apparent that we may expect it to continue In force permanently.' Our temperance forces are united in the demand for prohibition. v We fav^r , the petition for 'a referendum because the Legislature will be much more ready to grant a referendum, thereby submitting the question to the people, than to enact a law outright without a clearlj- expressed demand by the people furthermore, -a^- campaign for prohibition will beUiot only edu cative, but will evoke a compelling sen tlmcnt for prohibition which will tend ??owerfully toward the enforcement of the law. This is our time, and We must not leave any step untaken. which will rontribirte to a happy i**ne; ~j - We are opposing a business deeply entrenched and heavily armed.

In salting butter, ono ounce of salt to a pound of l>ut tor is generally ahout right. To know whou to stop chprnlng, ~\vat< h tho sIko of tho hnttor granules. When they are about as large as wheat kernels, it Is time to stop churning. In butter-polking, one's hund, no matter how clean, should never come In contact with the butter, I .'so a pad ~<JTe You cannot make your herd produce more butter except by making it pro IU< e more milk. Hutterfat Ik the most valuable part >f milk. The cow that gives tho great est quantity of butterfut during the year is the most valuable cow. You Cannot know which cow Is doing this except by using the Uuhcix'k tester and tullk scales. It is not necessary to stop raising ?ottou ip order to keep cows. Koop ing cows will make cotton land more productive. 1 When there is a good market for hutterfat, calves should not be allow ed to such, as It will cost- more to raise them in that w#iy than they will be worth. . The milker should always wash his hands and the cow'h udder before milking, and then milk with dry hands. The entire dairy herd should have access to a an It box every day. 7" 'Itlch cream will stay sweet longer than will thin cream. This Is an lin ?portant point. The practice of wetting the hands with milk before uillktng is a dirty, unsanitary one and should be done away with on every farm. When calves are to be reared on skim milk they should be taken from their dnms when about three days old and taught to drink. In changing the calvcs from whole milk to skim milk *Kome grain feed must be substituted for the hutterfat. Skim milk Is an excellent poultry feed. As a matter of fact, poultry raising and dairying go together in many ways. In the absence of silage, turnips, beets, jiotntoes, cabbage or pumpkins make an excellent substitute. Remera l>or always to make changes hi the feed gradually. The difference between this cream and rich crcam Is that thin cream con tains less milk. One hundred ]>ounds of separator skimmed milk is worth about as much as a .lialf-hushel of corn for feeding pij-'s. Not many people know that about 14,000,000 iKMimls of butter a r.e-'iTfiTp^' ped into South Carolina annually. Cream sold for hutterfat through the eooj>erative creamery plan brings the highest prices that can he prt>cur ed. A farmer who is not getting more than twenty cents per pound for his butter is saying that cows don't pay, and, at- tlmt rate,- they don't - Make good butter and get good prices. 1 After butter has been churned, wash it thoroughly with clean, cool water in order to get out the buttermilk. If this is done the butter will remain fresh longer. Direct sunlight is one of the l>est germ destroyers known for huttermak ing apparatus, milk buckets and uten sils. Have you a sunning rack? Have you ever calculated the value of a. high-producing sire in improving the butter production of a herd? Many South Carolina farmers have . cows that are merely bourders, giving less than they consume. The way to iind them out is . to use the Babcock tester and milk scales. Too Thorough. Farmer Jones, finding help scarce in his neighborhood, wan forced to visit the city* where he finally obtain ed a manhold ?mough to desert t4*e -at ti'aCuCMjcncu'Tfcu glittering town for the lonesome life-of-a -eountry dwelling. The fellow proved exceedingly dull but plodded along, stolidly obeying in structions. The third day Farmer Jone# sai<l ^ "I want you to clean up the pigsty arid t!ie * tabids and the hen house and all the other houses of the stock." The new hand worked vigorously for -injurs. Then lie appeared "before his employer with l>oth eyes nearly closed, his mouth -swollen, and xed lumps all over his face and nwk hands. fv . "Gimme my money," lie said. "I'm a-goin' to quit."
