Joaephlne Qoldman Dlecuieea the Ten
Hour Law ? Great Changes Are
Taking Place.
Tremendous changes Iii tho nation's
Industrial lift* are taking place In the
midst of war. None U greater limit
that caused by the Supreme court de
cision holding valid tho Oregon ten
hour law for men and it* minimum
wuge law for women and girls, says
the New York 10 veiling Hun.
Kloven states have been marking
tlino, half-heartedly enforcing their
mlnlmuin wnge law* ; In reality, hold
ing them In abeyance pending the rul
Ing of the United States Supreme
court
In New York state Senator Wagner
has introduced a hill establishing the
inlulmum wage principle, in the Dis
trict of Columbia plans for the intro
duction In congress of a minimum
wage bill have been held up for a y?'or
In the hope of a favorable decision on
tho Oregon statute. Similarly, legln
latora In a number of states have hoen
reluctant to present mlninium wnge
bills under the rendering of a decision
by the Supreme Court of the United
States.
Arkansas, California. Oregon, Colo
rado, Kansas, Massachusetts, Mlnne- (
sot a, Nebraska, Utah, Washington and
Wisconsin are the states that have the
minimum wage laws on their statute
records. In California the authority
of the Industrial commission expired
and enforcement of the law was prac
tically 'dropped pending the Oregon
case. In Minnesota It was inoperative
because" of an Injunction,
Miss Josephine Cioldmijrk, associated
In writing the briefs in the Oregon
case, said after thu decision:
MAs to the ten-hour law for men.
such a law Is a state's most urgent
duty. In overwork America llnds one
of Its most serious menaces to the
public health. People dlo young in
America. Workers wear out quickly.
The average length of life has been
Increased, but fewer adults than ever
live to old ago.
"The tired worker Is a great prob
lem for society. The victim of fa
tigue Is a menace public health and
morals and to national Integrity, lie
takes to drink and drugs. America
in war needs to conserve its vigor and
energy. The rested man can do more
work than the man who is fatigued."
A SpanlGh Mecca.
In the historic city of Seville, near
the famous cathedral and occupying a
frontage of about, two hundred feet,
stands a building that Is of paramount
Interest to the people of practically all
the American republics. Ilecuuse of
the contents of this building, Seville N
becoming the Mecca of American his
torians. The structure Is a veritable
treasure house of authentic facts con
cerning the colonial period of all the
new world, as well ns a mine of In
formation relutive eto the early his
tory of a very huge part of the United
States. The house is known as the
Casn LfOnJa and tlte treasures It con
tains consist of the general archives
of the Indies, that wonderful collec
tion Of unpublished, unedited, and for j
tho most pitft even unindexed original
documents, reports, letters, etc., which
practically embrace the administra
tion of the colonies under the domin
ion of Spain in all the Americas.
Abusing the Feet.
Tho weight of the body in standing
end walking normally comes down on
on elastic arch composed of 12 bones
of different shapes, joined together by
ligaments and connected with muscles.
This complicated structure must bear
at each step the entire bodily weight ;
and, instead of being left to perform
Its function naturally, as is the case
with tho knee, the ell>ow and other
Joint structures, the foot is incased
from early childhood In a restraining
leuther covering that compresses and
deforms tho foro jmrt of the foot.
Here, then, is u process tending not
only to distortion, but also to tho
great weakening of the muscles at
tached to the foot, many of which
kuve their origin at and even above
tho knee Joint. And so there Is after
very little walking much futigue, pain
throughout the lower extremities,
buckache and even headache.
Sandy's Extravagance.
Sandy hod taken Jennie to the vil
lage fair. They had seen all the "free
shows," but there was a movie show
for which a chargo was mado and
which the girl wanted to see.
"Wlnna ye tak' ine?" she said, per
suasively. "It Is only n nlckeL,"
At the door, however, Sandy discov
ered that the price of admission was
? dime for adults.
Ho graoned. It was too lato to re
treat, and so he reluctantly parted wllh
the 20 cents ; but when he got inside he
said:
"Jeanle, gin ye ever doot ma love
for ye? Jlst think o' what I hae spent
on ye this vera day."
Absence of Enthusiasm,
"Was your vacation a success in
every sense of the word?"
"I wouldn't go so far as to say that
I met a few pleasant people and a
great many disagreeable one*. spent
twice ns much money as I could afford
to spend, had half as much fun ns I
?xpected to have, and came back wish

MILLIONS WORK IN MINES
More Than Half of the 6,000,000 Men
Employed Below Earth's Sur
face Dig Coal.
The magnitude of the mining Indus
try may be grasped when one realizes
that more than fi.OOO.QOO men are en
gaged In the mines of the world. Of
this number ft, 800,000 are employed In
the coal mines and 2,200,000 In the
metal mines. In addition, millions
more are engaged In allied Industries
dependent directly upon the mines for
coal and metal, according to the En
gineering and Mining Journal.
Mining Is one of the hazardous In
dustries employing over 1,000,000 men
in the United States, In which three
out of every 1,000 men employed arc
killed every year by reason of some ac
cident. While complete data relating
to non fatal Injuries are not available;
reports to the I'nlted States bureau of
mines for nil )n<?tjil mines in the
United States show that about 200
men per thousand per year .are In
jured sufllclently to cause a loss of
time. A reduction of ,r?0 per cent In
the number of mine accidents would
mean a saving of l.fKH) lives In the
United States every year, In addition

Snow and Ice Worms.
There are at present known In the
world approxi mutely fW) species nn<l
varieties of sno^v mid lee worms. Sex
ually mature specimens, yellowish to a
dark reddish brown or black In color,
about an Inch loni; and one-twentieth
Inch In diameter were found In Febru
ary and April (1010) abundantly on the
open snow fields of Mount Kalnler, at
an elevation of 'J.ToO to fi.tUH) feet above
sea level. They also occurred on the
snow on the mountain slope protected
by a dense forest of fir and hemlock.
These worms have not thus far been
found on solid ice nor on the glaciers,
though they occur on the snow below
the Ice from and outside of the lateral
moraines of the Nlsqually glacier. The
snow on which they were found Is not
permanent through the entire season,
but melts with the coming of summer,
and it therefore appears that a part of
their life must be sj>ent on or in the
ground.
Telephone Many Year? Ago.
There are not so many new things
under the sun os i>eople suppose. The
telephone has the credit of being an
entire novelty, yet Robert Hooke two
hundred and odd years ago. wrote:
"I have by a distended wire propa
gated sound to a very considerable dis
tance in an Instant, or with as seem
ingly quick a motion as that of light;
and this not only in a straight line,
or direct, but in one bended in many
angles."
Here was the Invention of tho tele
phone right ia hand, bo to speak, only
Ilooke did not follow up the lead. 80
the world had to wait two centuries for
the admirable instrument which saves
so much of humanity's time today.
How 8ilk Worm* Work.
On attaining their full growth silk
worms seek something to which to at
tach themselves In order to wind them
selves up in their silk envelopes. Hav
ing found It, the worm spins a thread
from WX) to 1,000 yards long, wrap
ping it around Its body as it spin*.
This takes from 30 to 48 hours. It
left alone the worm's skin hardens, Its
Internal orgnns disintegrate to a thin
Jelly and then begin reorganizing
themselves Into those of a butterfly.
Within a week or ten days It would
bo a b-.' eerily and ris such would eat
Its way out through it* envelope oi
silk.

Paeture Will Help Largely. ___
WINTER FEEDING OF DAIRY COW
Principle* For Economical Production Are Essential. Raise
Your Own Roughage.
Dairy farmorii are facing a most ?e
nous Hituatiou this winter, nays the
dair> division of Clemson Colloge.
With grain foods Helling around $60
a ton and good hay bringing $30, (ho
question of what and how to food tho
dulry cow should demand serious con
sideration.
There will bo ubout 150,000 more In
habitants than usual in South Caro
Una this winter, duo to tho location of
tho nrmy training ramps. Those peo
ple will want dairy products. Prices
aro already advancing due to this de
mand. Farmers may food cows,
knowing that they will havo a mar
ket for their milk and cream at a
good price. Rut it will be necessary
for tho successful dairyman to know
the principles of fooding for econom
ical production.
Milk Is composed of water and boI
ids derived directly from the feed
eaten by the cow. Therefore, it is tho
duty of tho foeder to know what feeds
produce the most milk and to see that
tho cow obtains these feeds in the
right proportions.
? Proper Ration for Dairy Cow.
The dairy cow's ration should meet
tho following requirements: It must
be abundant, nutritious, palatable,
succulent, and cheap. All tho above
requirements may bo met by feeds
producod entirely in this state. A
great many good cows are forced to
go dry early in tho lactation period
because tho feed is not abundant Th-j
cow should receive sufTlciont feed to
maintain hor body without loss of
weight and at the same time produce
her maximum of milk. A liberal eco
nomical ration for tho best type of
cow is all the rousrhago sho will eat
and one pound of praln feed for each
three pounds of milk sho produces.
Feeds like straw, shucks and hulls
are not very nutritious. These ore
composed lartrelv of fiber which the
row cannot direst. Legume hay. su-^h
as alfalfa, clover, and peavine. Is
more nutritious, and also more pal
atable. Fends that the cow relishes
ore the tn<^f profitable m!!l<produc|n<:
feeds. Succulent or watery feeds
such as silage and roots are essential
to tho heavy-milking cows since about
seven-eighths of milk 1h wator.
Probably the most important factor
in tho choice of a food ia that it roust
be choap, not necessarily in the sousj
of being made up of low-grade or low
cost feeds, but from the standpoint of
furnishing tho largest possible amount
of digostiblo nutrients at tho loast
cost. Home-grown foods ordinal Uy
cost loss than commercial feeds, and
the successful dairymen are those
who raise most of the feods for their
herds. No dairyman in South Caro
lina has yet made a success when he
buys his roughage. A wido variery
of feods may bo grown, permitting tho
dairyman to produce a well-balanccd
ration at a low cost. Tho following
"unit" of feed Ib suggested for each
cow:
Forage:
1 ton legume hay (peavine, vetch, or
clover).
4 toYis roots or silage.
1 ton sorghum (for summer feed),
Vz aero in velvet beans and corn.
ys aero in winter pasture (rye after
eowpeas).
1 acre In permanent pasture.
Concentrates:
700 pounds velvet beans ground with
pod.
700 pounds corn and cob moal.
400 pounds cottonseed moal.
The velvet bean and corn would be
harvested from the half-acre. By
trading cotton seed for cottonseed
moal all the above rations may be
produced on tho farm, and are suffi
cient to feed one heavy producing cow
one year.
A cow giving two gallons of milk
a day should receive 300 pounds of
roots or silage. 10 pounds of hay, and
F> pounds of ono of the following
grain mixtures:
100 pounds cottonseed meaL
100 pounds wheat brnn.
150 pounds velvet-bean meal;
Or.
200 pounds wheat bran.
100 pounds cottonseed moal.
The Farmer Who Owns a Silo This Winter Is Indeed Fortunate,
PREPARE LAND WELL
FOR FALL SEEDINGS
BETTER SEEDBED MADE BETTER
8TANDS OBTAINED AND CON
8EQUENT BETTER CROPS.
Success with crops planted In the
fall depends in large measure on hav
ing a well-prepared seedbed, say the
farm crops men of Clemson College.
Poor preparation usually means poor
Hands. Seeds of alfalfa, the clovers
tnd most grasses are small and re
quire * shallow covering ? about one
fourth to one-half Inch., The seeds
should come up to a stand in a few
days. Soil moisture Is essential and
for good success It must be maintain
ed near the surface. The soil should
be fine, firm, moist and mellow so as
to permit a free and rapid movement
of the soil moisture.
Preparing the Land.
It is best to plow as soon as circum
stances will permit so that the rains
will wet and firm the soil before she
seed are sown. If time will permit,
plow twice when the moisture is Just
right for doing the best work. If the
soil contains enough clay to mak? It
form lumps or clods use harrows
until It Is reduced to grains or grain
like particles.
Reffrr work often ran be done if
more than ono type of harrow Is used
A' 1 - ? "*ii of ?h* harrows should
eor.necfton between the unplowed and
plowed zones. A disk harrow Is
good for the deeper work. The acme
and spiketooth harrows are best for
fitting the surface. Harrows often
are used when there Is not enough
moisture to make the soil crumble
readily. When the clods are dry har
rows merely move them without pul
verizing them.
The best results from surface har
rowing aro obtained when the land Is
a little too wet to plow. After a rain
has thoroughly wet the soil It la a
common error to wait too long before
starting the harrows. Harrow and
cross harrow until the seedbed Is put
In good condition. Haying machinery
works faster and better where the
surface Is smooth; also small seeds
germinate promptly in such soils.
Fresh land that may dry out to the
plow depth is really not a fit or safe
place to plant alfalfa, clover* and
small grass seeds.
Preparation For 8mall Grains.
Where small grain follows cotton
no further preparation Is necessary
as a nicely cultivated cotton field is in
good condition for the grain drill.
In preparing corn laad for anal)
grain type get the corn out of th? way
as soon as possible to permit proper
preparation and planting at tha most
favorable time conditions will permit j
If the corn has been cultivated well
the plows and harrows may work
rapidly and where the seeding is dons
with a drill the very careful prepara
tlon for clovers is not necessary.
From September | t0 October ifi ft
fho best season for fall seeding.
