FALL CALVING COWS Bring More 1'roflt for Several Rea sons Says CleniKon Bulletin. CleiBSOU College, Oct. 5.-? A mistake made '^by a great many farmers in South Carolina Is to have their cows calve during the spring months. All authorities on dairying are agr<*Ml that for many reasons It is more pro-, litahle to have cows calve in fall. The principal advantages of fall calving are four in number and are stated he low: , ?lv As a rule, priced for dairy pro ducts, especially butter, are much higher In winter than in summer. Hence, it is desirable to have the cow produce the greatest part of her milk, which she does In the months Imme diately after calving, during winter. 2. Cows calving in spring usually have plenty of good iuisturage Imme diately and this lasts until about Au gust. Hut during this i>erlod the cow's flow Is naturally heavy anyway. About the time pastures dry up, a spring-ralvlng cow's milk flow begins to fall off and by the time she Is put on dry feed of sufficient quantity, her milk production has generally fallen off so much that it cannot be brought back to normal. ~ On the other hand, when cows calve lit the f?0\ their own ers will see to it that they get plenty of dry feed to provide for the heavy milk production of winter. Then when the cows begin to fall off in the spring and need good succulent feed most, the i>astures come along to keep up their milk flow. 3. It is Important to be able to do most of the dairy work when other farm duties are light. Winter is the lightest of the seasons for farm work. When cows calve in fall, the bulk of the year's dairy work comes iu jvln ter. 4. When a man has his cows calv ing in fall, he will unquestionably have a greater Inducement to grow silage corn and All a silo for winter feed for his stock. In this way, he is led Into the practice of using silage, the most economical winter feed for cattle. ' 1 The Citizen is the name of a new. newspaper that will be published at Denmark.

Cotton commands a, flue price this fall and ? string opt i iiiisiii i>ervades the country. Our farmers deserve this prosjwrlty nnd all of us shoutd rejoice In their good fortune. Hut It Is possl hie to destroy all the good effects of the sound basis of their .present pros !K?rltyi The price of cotton this fall Is based on a short, a very short crop. If we hud produced 20 per cent more [cotton the price would he al>out 8 cCnts. We would he unwise, then, to plant a big crop of cotton next year because the., price Is good this fall. The sensible i>olley of 1915 should be made the state's permanent i>ol ley ?more grain, more hogs, more prosperity. When we make our grain and meat we don't owe our cotton before It in ginned. The great day for the South will be' when every man's cotton will be free from Hens and he can throw out his chest In the enjoyment of his honest toil, says the Manning Herald. Nearly every day we are impressed with the fact that the law ttyr the pre vention of cruelty to animals should be more rigidly enforced. One day last week we sttw a man, a white man, driving a horse up Main street In this town that was no poor that he reeled between the buggy shafts. Now and then the driver would flog the old stack- of bones with a whip to make him go faster. Any man who works or mistreats a horse as thin as the one mentioned should be severely pun ished. If he Is unable .to care for or feed his stock properly he should eith er kill them or give them to some one else who would care for them. The horse Is the moat useful animal to mankind and is often the morft abused. Sometimes we wonder why the prac tice of saluting all men and raising one's hat to all ladles Is not as Com I 'iM>n- now as It once -was'. In cities It would be Impossible to greet every one, for one would never have time then for business, since all his ner vous energy ? would he spent in bow ing, smiling, waving, handshaking and helloing. But that danger is not pre sent in Kershaw county and it is not present in Bethune. Another custom ? American, perhaps? is ' tty?t ?>f rais ing one's hat to a man "acquaintance 'when he is with a lady, and he raises his hat In acknowledgement of the courtesy. Unfortunately these happy social amenities are not being observ ed as scrupulously as formerly. The writer has himself raised his hat to men with ladies and only received a cdld and glassy stare fqr his effort to be polite. But that should not hinder k man from being a gentleman, how- ' ever. Politeness costs little, hut it lu bricates the machinery of life ; It may he sometimes unacknowledged, but that Is only because of the lack of re finement, or good breeding in the other person. Always speak to the stranger as you pass ; It -costs nothing and sweetens life somewhat and also fa cilitates human intercourse. During almost the whole of this month of October the people of Be thune will have the opportunity of hearing a good sermon twice a day at one or the other of the churches here. A meeting 1>egnn at the Baptist church last Sunday night and will continue the balance of the week. We learn that a week's meeting frill begin at the. Presbyterian church next Sunday : then on the 15th a two week's meeting begins at the Methodist church. We sincerely hoj>e that these ' meetings wTTTaceotapllHh u great fleat^frf^grvod ; that the moral and religious being of everyone may be strengthened and regenerated. There Is room for us all to become better men and women In every sense of the word. A cor dial Invitatloi^ Is extended all to at tend each of these meetings. We notice by the Newberry Herald and News that sheriff It lease of flint county, has already announced him self a* a candidate for re-election, next year. This is rather early to announce for ]rul>Hc office, hut i>erhap$ the wor thy *hcrlff of Newherry thinks that In this instajye the early hlrd will c^teh th c worm. A great many people lUive tteen of the opinion that with the election of a "law and order" governor last year, the election on the liquor question having been nettled, next year'K campaign Would he rather a tame one. Hut in the opinion of the writer, the national, state, congresMlou al and county campaigns next year, the race -for Congress in thin district and those for sheriff and KUj>er\isor in this county will he especially lively, to judge from present indications. The Charleston News #nd Courlei seems to think that the people of South Carolina will continue to 'insist upon the privilege of having twelve gallons of raw liquor a year." A large ma jority of the i?eople of Houth Carolina are against the gallon a montlu Just as they are against the sale and drink ing of liquor. The last legislature not only passed the prohibition law, sub ject to ratification hy the i?eople hut reduced the- limit of shipments from Infinity to a gallon a month for each person. It should have stopi?ed ship | ment* altogether, hut It <11*1 a great deal to limit them nt till. If tin* next legislature does not pass a law to stop shipments of liquor into the statu. It will not do the will of tin* people of the state. If the question of stopping the shipment of a gallon a month were submitted to the electorate, it wouf'l he carried by tis overwhelming a ma jority as wan prohibition on September 14th. The people of the state want real prohibition, ami they will -tot have much patience with legislators and of t leers who refuse to -carry out their wishes. As l>r. l'oteat stihl in, his tid dress at Heiinettesvllle recently, a generation has been raised up and taught In the schools and elsewhere that alcohol Is a vital poison, devoid of any benefits to the human system, and they are not going to stand for its continued ravages ujh?m the mental, moral, physical and material resources of our iwople.
